Sounding more like the Rolling Stones then the New York proto-punk darlings they were known to be (and the legends they surely have become) The Velvet Underground knock out a startling rangy electric country-fied set at an infamous NYC music spot on Live at Max’s Kansas City. Recorded in 1970 during the VU’s 9-week engagement at Max’s, we get the very end of Lou Reed’s stint with the band and the line-up of Sterling Morrison, Doug Yule and Billy Yule (sitting in for regular Velvet drummer Maureen Tucker who was preggers at the time) behind him.
