I forgot I did this a while ago and never shared it here. I mainly upload my caricatures and other art on Instagram these days but here's VU and with the bonus of Nico and Doug!

BACKSTAGE WITH AN AMERICAN ROCK BAND AT THEIR REPORTED "HOME AWAY FROM HOME."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on American rock band THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, photographed backstage and onstage at the Boston Tea Party, MA, on January 9-11, 1969. Also included is a shot of just Lou and Doug from late 1968.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "The backstage photos were pulled from the classic VU book "Up-Tight." There's one of Doug with Steve Sesnick, a portrait of Lou, and then another with Moe and Sterling. All the photos are a bit blurry but they are some of the best shots available of the VU at their reported "home away from home." The Velvet Underground played at the Boston Tea Party forty-three times between 1967 and 1970. Lou called the club “our favorite place to play in the whole country.” All photos by The Modern Printer."

The Velvet Underground, "Oh, Sweet Nuthin'"

The closing cut from the final "real" VU album, and sounding like the great lost Stones cut from somewhere between Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street.

I got a drawing tablet for Christmas so now my artful progress might stop stagnating like a bitch.

Behold! The Velvet Underground! *froths at the mouth*

I know I had some inquiries regarding some of my music sleeve so here's my most recent addition, my tribute to the Velvet Underground!

YES, IT'S ALL TRUE, THE V.U. PLAYED A GIG AT BEVERLY HILLS HIGH SCHOOL.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on yearbook pages featuring American rock music group THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, performing live and taking part in an assembly at Beverly Hills High School, Los Angeles, CA, c. 1969.

All the family-friendly hits were played, of course. Definitely-absolutely nothing off of their '67 debut, I'm sure. Lol!

"Satellite of Love" - Lou Reed with Doug Yule, Marseilles, France, March 15, 1975

I love this pic (taken by Gijsbert Hanekroot in Amsterdam in March of 1975) capturing a nice moment between Doug Yule and Lou Reed during their mid-70s reunion. Doug toured as lead guitarist with Lou for much of 1974 and 1975, and in some alternate universe, the duo continued collaborating over the decades. Alas, I think this period was the last time they played together. But Doug and Lou had real chemistry — how often do you see such a genuine smile on Lou's face onstage, especially in the 1970s? Not often.

And how often did Lou let someone else take lead vocals during his solo years? Not often (though Antony and Fernando Saunders would be given solo spotlights much later on). But here, we've got Doug stepping up to the mic for "Satellite of Love," which suits him very nicely indeed. Thanks to Michael at the awesome Weapons, etc Lou Insta account for sharing and to Steve Stroud for audio restoration. Things like this drive me out of my mind.

Doug Says: I thoroughly enjoyed playing with Lou through 1974 and 1975… it was wonderfully fun to organize and the band we had was a lot of fun. Lou was solid, and his spirit was positive because he had his girlfriend there, Rachel. It was very different from touring with the Velvets; there was actually an audience that knew who we were… and we played to thousands, instead of just a dozen people! There were hassles, but that was only management’s fault. Same as with the Velvets.
