VU Photo Thread

Maybe made up?

The photo has a myheritage watermark, not a site known to host that sort of photos. (I couldn't find it there, but while there I stumbled upon a Cale Web Site maintained by Eden.)
According to Google Image Search, "The person in the image is Didier Lockwood, a renowned French jazz violinist. While the user suggested John Cale [...] the strong visual cues and associated information point to Didier Lockwood."
The light seems exaggerated for a BTP photo, the chin looks like a copy-paste job, the outline of the right arm and the hair also seem a bit weird.
but it's hard to tell considering the low res of the pic.

That's a vox amp it looks like, behind him. Strong VU vibe.

Yes it's clearly Cale. Don't use Google's worthless AI answers for anything.

Yes of course, silly me - it must have been taken the same night as this one:

Alfredo, I think i saw it on instagram. The MyHeritage site has a "clean damaged photo" features, they are nothing to do with the picture

^ Great photo, thanks. Is that the Poor Richard's gig as Moe's on bass duties?

[falconwhit]

Yes indeed.

I just found this article and saw that Richard Harding, who owned Poor Richard's located on Sedgwick street, later opened Quiet Knight where the VU played in January 1970 for a week.
