IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

This is for you Velvet Underground fiends that may not have caught it yet.  It's a 1967 live gig from a New York venue called The Gymnasium.  It was posted here about three years ago, but those links petered out and I just ran into it again.  It's notable for a few reasons.  One is that it's among the material that Robert Quine taped, but was not included in the sanctioned bootleg "Quine Tapes". (Quine would later play guitar for Richard Hell and the Voidoids, and Lou Reed.)  It's also significant because it includes the first ever live performance of "Sister Ray", and another song "I'm Not A Young Man Anymore" that has never been released anywhere else.  Just for good measure, there's a single song below, an instrumental version of "Guess I'm Falling In Love", which is also included on the live thing with vocals. It's significant because I think it's hot shit. (It's been posted a few times before, but bears repeat posts, it's that hot of shit.)
