Considering their drug reputations there are remarkably few images showing them under the influence..Those sunglasses helped mind..

But how would you know if they are under the influence? They prob are in most of the photos circa Factory days. Except for Mo.

Something and nothing really .....
An album of vocoder and one-finger synth renditions of 'classic' rock (the version of Rock n Roll is LZ, not VU sadly)

Although I can't hardly locate this up-tight show venue only with that single picture,I bet for Whitney Museum NY october 66,any idea !!

ps:low resolution due was a tiny picture.

Lou in Central Park 68 by Billy Name.

Wow!! Great finding!

^ that is in the 1997 Billy Name book of colour photos imaginatively titled All Tomorrow's Parties, it's at one of the Be-ins. Chuck Wein is also in the photo, cropped out, to the right.

some less frequently seen pics from the book:
