The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City. First active from 1965 to 1973, their best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists. Although never commercially successful while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 1960s. In a 1982 interview Brian Eno made the often repeated statement that while the first Velvet Underground album may have sold only 30,000 copies in its early years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band.” In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked The Velvet Undergound #19 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".
Reissue of the 1993 live record, released here for the first time on vinyl. The album was recorded during a short-lived reunion tour of this seminal art/rock band during a three-night residence in the Parisian venue L'Olympia on June 15th, 16th and 17th 1993. John Cale later said, "During the second night we hit the home run", and it is of this night that most of the Live MCMXCIII tracks were taken. The rest were taken from the third night. Live MCMXCIII is an enjoyable and unexpectedly moving performance, as four of rock's unsung heroes take one last stroll through the songs that made them belatedly famous...and finally get the ovations they deserve.
