I'm pretty sure that "Hey Ho" means "Hi Ho" as in "Hi Ho Silver" which begat Sweet Bonnie Brown
No idea however what the other one would be

I'm surprised. And I just read that he says this in one of the Matrix performances. I'd never have guessed it originated back in Cale's time.

I'd love to have been able to hear those three sets – with Cale on Foggy Notion.

Is nobody else tired of endless re-boots of re-boots? The original release of the End Cole Ave material was made using digital copies of the original tapes.....why keep on reissuing it!

Bring on some new material - the complete Freeman tape or some of Jamie Klimek's tapes or the long-rumoured but never heard Seattle Trolly Club 1969 soundboard.......

...unless some record company money has hoovered these up for 60th anniversary issues over the next few years?

Definitely. Any new live VU is great but I'm always guiltily disappointed when it's from 1969. Nothing's ever really going to top Live 1969 and we've had that for 52 years! Every other era of the band is woefully misrepresented by comparison. Some 1968 Cale would be a game changer.

More Cale-era, please. 1967 and 1968. Especially 1968.

Complete Matrix Tapes definitely tops Live 1969 in my book. (Yes I know there's a fair overlap of material there.)

The Dec 68 Cleveland show is wonderful. I really hope whoever struck a deal for the Klimek tapes actually does it right and puts oit the full shows [tapes]. But I fear it could be botched.

Though I agree re bootlegging is foolish I do always commend the bootleggers who actually get things done
