Picked this 2008 vinyl up in Dusseldorf last week, a new release of the classic Gymnasium gig, which features this first ever performance of Sister Ray. The best band ever --> FACT.
... mind you, I'd rather erase the painful memory of their brief reformation in the early 90s. I remember queuing up outside the Edinburgh Playhouse at 5am on a 'Sunday morning' to buy tickets for the two nights that they were playing. Was so horrified after Lou Reed's virtuoso-style ruining of the first night that I went into Virgin the next day and just gave them the tickets for the second night. Couldn't bring myself to listen to them for months after that.

YES.
Btw, amazing blog!! Just happened on it, searching for an mp3 of Domina (my vinyl 'skips').
Oh yes, the link is dead...any chance you might re-up this one? =)
Thanks for the comment - yep - the link should now work. You've inspired me to put up my new VU purchase today - watch this space...
