Recorded live at the End Cole Ave, Dallas, Texas, October 1969
En marzo de 1969, los Velvet (con Doug Yule al bajo) emprendieron una gira nacional. Una de estas fechas incluyó una actuación en el club "End Of Cole Avenue" de Dallas, una de las pocas actuaciones en vivo de los Velvet donde un ingeniero de sonido profesional estuvo presente para grabar las sesiones. Algunas de las canciones grabadas en esas pocas noches aparecieron en 1974 en su álbum "1969: Velvet Underground Live", pero la calidad del sonido no era excelente debido al uso de cintas de tercera o cuarta generación. Sin embargo, las cintas de primera generación han resurgido desde entonces, y la diferencia en la calidad del sonido (que se escucha aquí) es palpable.
ENGLISH
In March 1969, the Velvet Underground, featuring Doug Yule now on bass, launched a nationwide tour that captured a pivotal moment in rock history. Among those dates was a memorable engagement at Dallas’ "End Of Cole Avenue" club—one of the rare live shows professionally recorded with a sound engineer on site. Previously, selections from these performances appeared in 1974 on the 1969: Velvet Underground Live album, but the sound was hampered by the use of third- or fourth-generation tapes, limiting the audio’s clarity and impact. Now, with the rediscovery of the original first-generation tapes, this new release delivers the band’s raw, electrifying live energy with unprecedented sound quality. Fans and audiophiles alike can experience the authentic atmosphere of those nights as if they were front and center in the club.
