Cool stuff. Never a favorite band of mine, but I'm starting to appreciate them more now.
Good music, something I didn't listen to back then.
The fidgeting between Sterling Morrison and Mo Tucker on this take is infectious. Miles better than the version which was the highlight, maybe, of Lou Reed's 1972 solo.
I seem to recall, too, that it makes an appearance on the '74 released "69 Live". Going in to a premature fade. I looked it up out of curiosity and it's only listed on the CD reissue.
"I love me some velvets" is an overused phrase, but it seldom leads to break-up and divorce.
A second live version also exists on Bob Quine's "Bootleg Series Volume 1", recorded in San Francisco, November 8, 1969. And one more on the bootleg, "The Psycopath's Rolling Stones: Rarities 66-93".
Stay tuned, if you CAN stand it.
