Velvet Underground (Musical group)

In 1969 The Velvet Underground played a residency at The Matrix, a small club in San Francisco, and performances from these shows were recorded on a tape deck by guitarist Robert Quine. The band was basically at the height of their powers when they disbanded, and these tapes are further proof of that.

Velvet Underground had almost all creative control over their album and came up with some abrasive material. This includes Sister Ray and Here She Comes Now.

Loaded marked the end for the Velvet Underground. The band's fourth and final album is filled with catchy hooks and grooves along with classic songs like Sweet Jane. It also cemented the band's status as one of rock's greatest.
