Regards on Tony Conrad,Primitives 64 portrait,btw Who's the tupe-tie guy next to Reed on first picture....??[/quote]

In the Conrad book he's listed as 'unknown'. There was another member called Jimmie (Sims?) who was in The Primitives at the Plaza Hotel gig and recording sessions at DeMaria's loft on Dec 3rd 1964.

If you mean the cat in the center, I'm all but certain that's Terry Phillips.

Here's another idea.

'Photo: ? John Giuffre
On tour with The Primitives, 1965.
Left to right: Tony Conrad, Lou Reed, John Giuffre (a Pickwick studio musician), Walter de Maria, John Cale.'

'Thanks to Lau Buur Nielsen for identifying Mr. Giuffre.'

I tried my best cleaning-soften this ad and looks cool,seems and indoor gig (VU.Live69.?),notice Sterl behind Reed and Yule.

Danny Williams,Gerry Malanga and Bobo Dylan on Andy's place for a deal,,,, !!

BD:" I dunno, Andy -- what's in it for me?"

The Dom EPI,april 66 is dated the first picture,might be the same date on both pix .?? Ingrid and Gerald dancing-flashing out on stage and the dance floor......awesome pix !!

Has this been posted?



Fred W. McDarrah, Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Velvet Underground Filmmakers Cinematheque, February 8, 1966

If I had to guess I would say that 2nd pic is not at the Dom in April but at The Trip in LA in May. Looks kind of familar to some others pics from that show, and Sterling is playing that Vox Teardrop guitar as shown in that famous Lisa Law image.
