The
Velvet Underground Makes DVD Debut on January
24 With
Velvet Redux: Live MCMXCIII
Los
Angeles -- The Velvet Underground finally
make it to DVD on January 24, 2006 with
the Rhino release of Velvet Redux: Live
MCMXCIII. This first-ever DVD from the pioneering
alternative rock group features sizzling
performances from the quartet's European
reunion tour.
Filmed live at the Paris Olympia on June
15, 16, and 17, 1993, Live MCMXCIII captures
the original line-up - Lou Reed, John Cale,
Sterling Morrison, and Moe Tucker - on extended
versions of VU classics like "Femme
Fatale," "Pale Blue Eyes,"
and "Heroin," and on more obscure
fare like "Hey Mr. Rain" and "I'm
Sticking With You" (both of which remained
unreleased for years after the band's breakup),
and there's even a new song, "Coyote."
The DVD also features digitally re-mastered
audio.
"The unanimous opinion was that we
were 10 times better live than we were on
records," claimed Sterling Morrison
in an interview before his death, and the
15 songs performed on the new DVD bear that
out. The band's all-too-brief reunion never
made it to America, but Live MCMXCIII stands
as the perfect tribute to both Morrison
and the legacy of The Velvet Underground.
