Live at Max's Kansas Urban center is a live album by the Velvet Underground recorded at the famous nightclub and eatery at 213 Park Avenue South in New York City. It was originally released on May 30, 1972, by Cotillion, a subsidiary label of Atlantic Records.

Background [edit]

The Velvet Underground signed a two-album deal with Atlantic in early 1970 and released their fourth studio anthology, Loaded, in November 1970. By the time of its release, singer/guitarist/main songwriter Lou Reed had left. The balance of the ring stayed together, with bassist Doug Yule moving to vocals and guitar and Walter Powers being drafted in to play bass.

This line-up did a tour of the Usa and Canada promoting Loaded. As the band still had a contract for another album, they wrote and played new songs eventually to be included on information technology. Atlantic had lost faith in the band'south commercial prospects and, wanting to cut their losses later the disappointing chart showings of Loaded, decided to release an archive live recording instead.

The tapes that would after become Live at Max's Kansas City were recorded on August 23, 1970, by Andy Warhol associate Brigid Polk on a portable cassette recorder. While they were recording Loaded, the Velvet Hugger-mugger held a 9-calendar week engagement (June 24 – August 28, 1970) at New York Urban center nightclub Max'southward Kansas Metropolis, playing two sets a dark. Polk recorded almost everything happening effectually her at the fourth dimension, and this happened to include her omnipresence of the concluding concert that Lou Reed played with the Velvet Underground. She recorded both the early on and the late set. Afterward that yr, Atlantic A&R employee Danny Fields heard the tapes and submitted them to his superiors, who accustomed the recordings and in 1972 decided to brand an anthology out of them. The line-upwardly at the concerts consisted of Reed, Yule, lead guitarist Sterling Morrison and drummer Baton Yule, the younger brother of Doug Yule; regular drummer Maureen Tucker temporarily left the group several months before when she became meaning with her kickoff child, Kerry "Trucker" Tucker.

Originally, Live at Max'due south Kansas City was a single album distillation of both sets re-sequenced and edited by Lou Reed and Atlantic staff producer Geoff Haslam to reflect the band'due south loud and quiet sides, respectively. On August 3, 2004, Warner Music re-issue label Rhinoceros Records released a 2-CD Deluxe Edition that contains both sets in their entirety in their original running social club. The songs were recorded on a mono recorder using a simple ferro musicassette in a small-scale venue, resulting in tape hiss and an audience often drowning out the quieter bits of music.

Author Jim Carroll can be heard speaking on the album, ordering drinks and inquiring about drugs betwixt songs equally he was the i belongings the microphone.
