Arrived in NYC last night. On my way to see the Reed exhibit in about an hour or so. Will post some pix and comments later today. Should be fun. John G: The copyright issue for the tape is a bit complicated but it is probably under protection until 2067 under US law.

Spent about 4 hours viewing this multimedia exhibit with an old friend. So much to take in. Manuscripts and posters and albums and listening stations. We had it all to ourselves for the first 3 hours. Amazing.
One of the most interesting things was a 20-minute excerpt with sound from a 66-minute film shot by Warhol of the Velvets jamming. We sat on the floor and watched it twice. Cale was using a table knife to play some metal tubing that he had plugged into his amp, Nico was playing a drone on a guitar using a slide, Lou and Sterl were playing interlacing guitar parts and Moe kept everyone on beat. Great stuff.
Tried to attach a bunch of pictures but apparently they are too big (between 2 and 3mb each). Will keep trying, but if anyone wants to see them I can forward via email. If you can get there the exhibit is highly recommended.
