Wow! New to me too!

Seems to be Jan 1967 at the Scene.

The photographer's name, Santi Visalli, is new to me. If he took this one shot, he must've taken more. The Wikipedia entry on him indicates that he was quite a successful and famous photographer, and also that he's still alive:

And gives the URL to his professional website:

The sight is not very deep, but it does provide some contact info. Is anyone here willing to write to the e-mail address shown there and inquire about the existence of other VU frames?

Yes I saw that but Getty is notoriously unreliable with dates regarding music photos.
Didn't Nico play her last show with the VU on May 27th 1967?
