content: After looking forward to this recording with much fervor, I was very disappointed to hear the final result. The sound quality throughout is poor (the mike shorts out during Lou Reed's "Berlin," for which the liner notes apoligize), but other tracks are muddy, too, especially the encore, "All Tomorrow's Parties," which is further ruined by the voice of a woman offstage taking during the performance. Also, Nico suffers from an embarrasingly long coughing fit after she finishes "Janitor of Lunacy." Each of the trio have about one good song each ("Waiting for the Man," "Ghost Story," and "Femme Fatale"). The two "Bonus Tracks" are an insult to the consumer, just throwaway pieces that are not even complete songs, badly recorded. Even the die hard Velvet Underground fans should be wary of this one. The letdown of the year, and it's only Februrary!
