...low volume...TURN IT UP!!!
The recording documents that the Velvets played 2 separate sets this night. Lou is very talkative and introduces "Ferryboat Bill" as a new song: "....we always try our new songs out in Boston...". "Waiting" is introduced as "a fast version" and sets off at breakneck speed with a minute long instrumental intro followed by some impassioned vocals and manic guitar solos. "What Goes On" closes the 1st set in a frenzy.
During the 2nd set, WLWH is now stretched out to 7 mins - another guitar frenzy, leading into the restrained beauty of "Jesus". "Sister Ray" is the only possible closer, with Lou introducing the characters at the beginning, then breaking into a few lines from "Murder Mystery" at the end.
