Also, the fragments from "Twisted Stars" do come from this performance of "Sister Ray", as we'd supposed.
Yep I did notice the absence of audience... seems quite similar to the 1966 tape - repelling the audience :wink:

This is a fantastic recording - something most of us have been waiting for ... for many years. You start to wonder what happened to Lou's ego (or Sesnicks?)

I'm not sure what's going on with the drums :o To me it sounds like there's more than one drummer? Is there any organ on this or is Cale playing another instrument?

the bit at the end sounds like something left on an older recording - no idea if it has anything to do with vu but thought i should leave it on.
