  1. TW’s Invisible Hits columns for Pitchfork and his blog doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com are always worth checking out. Guy is a passionate fan of a wide range of music. Thanks for posting that.

    Weird venue for them to be booked and a lot of empty seats. Crowd down by the stage was definitely into the show and the band played an excellent set. Was anyone else there?

  3. It’s not live, but this afternoon I’m going to the Velvet Underground Experience exhibit in NYC.

    I honestly have no idea what to expect. But I love this band, so it should be worthwhile.

    On a similar note, I saw The Feelies in Jersey City tonight and they played a full set of Velvet Underground songs. It was amazing and then they did a set of their own material plus three encores with covers of The Beatles, Stones, Neil Young, Patti Smith and The Modern Lovers. What an amazing show.

  4. The reunion show I saw with the Ashetons and Watt was great. Didn’t get to see the Raw Power shows. Iggy was amazing on his last tour. Looks like it could be it, but I really hope it isn’t. He is a one of a kind performer.

  5. Had a friend grab a copy for me and I am getting around to it tonight. Sounds great (my old bootleg copy is retired) and brings me back to how great the shows on that tour were. As long as we are pining for archival releases, any chance of a full video and audio release of the 2/15/97 Irving Plaza show? HBO has the footage.

  6. This is just awful. Saw Grant back in May when he toured with Watt and Meat Puppets. He didn't look well, but it wasn't like that was completely out of the ordinary. He was an amazingly talented musician and a very entertaining performer. Sadly, I am too young to have seen the Huskers. I feel very lucky to have seen Grant play intimate shows numerous times though. This is a big loss, and I hope it brings long overdue attention to how great he was.

  7. I can't wait to get my hands on this. It will be so nice to replace the nth generation copies of so much of this material that I have had for years. Just getting a chance after a crazy week to listen to the stream on NPR. The evolution of this band is still something to behold and what it led to is, for my money, some of the best music ever put on tape.
