The Velvet Underground - Live At End Cole Ave 1969 2LP

RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026

In March 1969, the Velvets (with Doug Yule now on bass) embarked on a nationwide tour. One of these dates included a stint at the "End Of Cole Avenue" club in Dallas, one of the Velvets' few live performances where a professional sound engineer was actually on hand to record the sets. Some of the songs recorded over those few nights showed up in 1974 on their 1969: Velvet Underground Live album, but the sound quality was not great due to the use of third or fourth generation tapes. However, the first-generation tapes have since resurfaced, and the difference in sound quality (heard here) is a welcome one.
