The Velvet Underground were in great form in 1969, where they lodged in San Francisco and played a whole stack of sets at the Matrix club. The Complete Matrix Tapes gives us all the live recordings from two of those nights, spread over 8LPs (oooh!) and 42 tracks (aaaah!). The band are on fine form, locking into several of their best known tracks.

The time-honored tradition of a fan taping a live concert of a favorite band takes an unusual twist with the three-CD set The Velvet Underground Bootleg Series, Volume 1: The Quine Tapes (Polydor/UME), released August 28, 2001. Robert Quine was not only a fan of one of rock's most influential and legendary bands when he recorded the group in 1969 but the guitarist later became a founder of punk pioneers Richard Hell & the Voidoids and from 1981-1985 recorded and toured with Velvet Underground leader Lou Reed. He's also recorded with Brian Eno, John Zorn, Lloyd Cole, Matthew Sweet, Tom Waits and Marianne Faithfull.

An informed listener, in 1969 Quine became a friend of the band and was sometimes asked to play back a particular song from the previous night. He was also savvy enough to take his original cassette tapes and transfer what he considered the best performances onto reel-to-reel tape. Those four hours comprise the digitally compiled and remastered The Quine Tapes. All but one of the tracks are previously unreleased ('Rock And Roll' appears in a different mix on Velvet Underground Live 1969). Recorded at a large hall (The Family Dog) and a small club (The Matrix) in San Francisco, and the basketball gym at Washington University in St. Louis, the collection illustrates the band in both spacious and intimate environs.

With Reed (guitar, lead vocals), Sterling Morrison (guitar, vocals), Doug Yule (bass, organ, vocals) and Maureen Tucker (drums, vocals), the group is at the height of its powers as it spans the Velvet Underground opus, from 'I'm Waiting For The Man' and 'Heroin' to 24-, 38- and 28-minute versions of its signature tune, 'Sister Ray.'

Also heard are scintillating performances of 'Foggy Notion,' 'What Goes On,' 'White Light/White Heat,' 'Ride Into The Sun,' 'Follow The Leader,' 'New Age,' 'Too Much,' 'I Can't Stand It,' 'Some Kinda Love,' 'Femme Fatale,' 'After Hours,' 'I'm Sticking With You,' 'Sunday Morning,' 'Venus In Furs,' 'Over You' and 'Black Angel's Death Song.'

The Velvet Underground heritage of underground tapes plus a series of archival packages helped spread the band's notoriety in the '70s and '80s (the group was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1996). But, in the end, The Quine Tapes are about a fan and a band. As Quine writes in the package's liner notes, 'Listening to this stuff all these years later, I'm ultimately the same fan I was in 1969.'
