Great news about 'The Velvet Underground in Boston (1967)' - i nearly posted about that recently because I read the terms and conditions of the grant that the Warhol Foundation got for restoration of the footage (& sound?) and it stated that it has to be available for the public to see so knew it would surface for viewing at some point soon, whether a more general ahem copy becomes available may be a different story...
