Velvet Underground
My DAD's favorite concert: Velvet
Underground
Where: A small music venue called "Music Palace" in St. Louis in 1970
It was in a small place, not many chairs. Everyone had to sit on
the floor. My dad was sitting on the floor right in front of the stage.
My dad remembers thinking it was strange because they had a chic( my
dads lingo) that was a drummer. Lou Reed looked young and had an afro thing going on. It
was when they released The Loaded album... whenever that was... 1970(back in the day). My
dad was only like 15 then.
He wore bellbottoms and had really long hair. He doesn't
even remember who he went with! HA HA HA. ( can you say pot head? ha ha) The band was
really relaxed cause the venue was small and joked with the crowd. He said some members
looked like they were out of it. (ACID TRIP POSSIBLY?)
All the songs then were new, ( so their/they're classics now) and dad
said it was cool listening to them for the first time live.
