The Velvet Forum

Forged in the white light, white heat of the New York avant-garde scene in the mid 1960s, The Velvet Underground blazed a trail so far ahead of their contemporaries they often appear to have dropped fully formed into the history of popular music. Aside from the image and iconography, so perfectly designed by maverick manager Andy Warhol, the experiments with form and sound that worked in tandem with crucial melodies and outrageous lyrics, moved infamous music writer Lester Bangs to declare that the Velvets started modern music . This F.M. CD was recorded in 1993 and features all the greatest hits from VU.

The tracklist does not look like a 1973 setlist. A '73 list would have Loaded material and some Yule-penned songs. It looks like a 1993 setlist. In fact, comparing it with Live mcmcxiii it is the same set list - disk 1 and start of disk two
