“Good evening, we’re called the Velvet Underground. You’re allowed to dance, in case you didn’t know, and…uh, that’s about it. This is called ‘Waiting for the Man,’ a tender folk song from the early ’50s about love between man and subway, and I’m sure you’ll all enjoy it.”
The preceding words were selected by Lou Reed as his opening salvo when the Velvet Underground took the stage of Max’s Kansas City in New York City on August 23, 1970… and, in turn, they were the words that the band’s fans heard within seconds of putting on Side One of the Velvet Underground’s first live album, Live at Max’s Kansas City, which was released 42 years ago today.

Although it’s certainly an enjoyable enough listen for fans, particularly those who never actually got to experience a Velvet Underground concert for themselves, it’s always a little disappointing to recall that its release really only came about because Atlantic Records had no faith in the band’s chances of becoming a commercial success and didn’t want to invest the time or money in the recording of a new studio album. In the label’s defense, though, they’d just watched Reed – the last songwriter left standing from the original V.U. lineup – depart the ranks, leaving Doug Yule as the driving force of the band…and if you’ve ever heard Squeeze, then you know Atlantic made the right decision.
Given that the show took place as the band were in the final stages of finishing the Loaded album, it’s no surprise that the set list is somewhat heavy on songs from that particular record, including “Sweet Jane,” “Lonesome Cowboy Bill,” “New Age,” and “Who Loves the Sun,” it’s filled with plenty of earlier classics, including the aforementioned “I’m Waiting for the Man” as well as “White Light / White Heat,” “I’ll Be Your Mirror,” “Pale Blue Eyes,” “Sunday Morning,” and “Femme Fatale.” The original release of the album featured a pared-down and re-sequenced version of the performance, with Reed teaming with producer Geoff Haslam to create a loud side and a quiet side, but – ahem! – when Rhino reissued the album in 2004, we took both of the band’s sets from that evening, put them in their original running order, and released the whole thing as a 2-disc deluxe edition.
Granted, the fact that the proceedings were recorded on cassette – with Jim Carroll handling the microphone, no less – means that it’s always going to sound a little more “real” than some listeners might prefer from their live-album purchases, but, c’mon, it’s the Velvet Underground: if you can’t handle the sound getting a little raw and unkempt at times, you’re in the wrong place, anyway.
