I'm gradually importing my record collection into The Newcastle Arms as is my wont. Great to have The Velvet Underground's 1969 Live album there. It reminds me of my first term at university having just turned twenty, as well as being simply my favourite live album of all. This, an absolutely barnstorming nine minute version of What Goes On is a real highlight, far superior to the studio version and an indication of how the late Velvets managed to ride even the loss of John Cale to become a quite superlative road band and lay down the template for the entire recorded career of Dean Wareham at the same time.
