While we're on the topic of the "Velveteens", here's my copy of the VPRO FM broadcast of part of the show in Amsterdam. I'll put a link to it below. Very nice quality!

Never really been taken by the later VU, but I'll give this a try, thank you!

Last spring I visited the Dutch RTV archives and found the full recordings of the 1971 Amsterdam show.
It's archived as "PROGRAMMA LOUDON WAINWRIGHT" [1971.Nov.19, VPRO] and includes the full VU show.
After making an appointment everybody can freely listen there to digitized media in their archives [note: not all are digitized, and digitizing is not free]

The full VU show is digitized and can be found at:

Digitale dragers [4x WAV]:

LOUDON_WAINWR-AEN56484DAT.WAV [41:00] - is VU live pt.1:
1.Waiting For The Man / 2.Spare Change / 3.Some Kinda Love / 4.White Light-White Heat / 5.Pretty Tree Climber / 6.What Goes On / 7.Cool It Down / 8.Back On The Farm

LOUDON_WAINWR-AEN56484DM7.WAV [16:40] - is VU live pt.3:
11.After Hours [Maureen singing] / applause / 12.Dopey Jou / 13.Rock And Roll

I was far from overwhelmed by the show itself, but really enjoyed hearing Maureen singing live After Hours


I visited the RTV Archives "Beel en Geluid" searching for the 1972 interview with Lou Reed [as written down in the "Popsmuk" book]
Popsmuk was a weekly radioshow, running from late 1971 till end of 1972, in which musicians were interviewed and some songs/live recordings played.
I found in announcements that the 1972.Aug.30 Popsmuk show was about Lou Reed.
But in the RTV archives were only some16 Popsmuk shows [of total ca.80], unfortunately not including the one with Lou Reed.

In the "Popsmuk" book are also interviews with Maureen Tucker [1971.Oct.11], John Cale and Nico [both 1972.Feb in Paris], I don't know if any of these were broadcasted in one of the Popsmuk radioshows [let alone if any audio survived anywhere...]

At one point, Arjan (who used to post very regularly on this forum) was going to try and do a matrix mix of the full VPRO show from the archives and the audience recording of the same show. Don't know if he ever got anywhere with that.

Can someone put this on a mega drive or something? The website doesn't work for me.
