The Velvet Underground - Yesterday's Parties (1966)

I recently came across a bootleg of two lengthy, semi-improvised recordings by The Velvet Underground, which they played as part of Andy Warhol's Plastic Exploding Inevitable in April and November 1966. The sound quality was excellent for its age, and it reminded me that I had a similar piece on another bootleg from Valleydale Ballroom in Columbus, Ohio from the same year. I therefore though that it was only logical to add this to the other two pieces, for an hour and a quarter of some of the very earliest recordings from the legendary Velvet Underground. There isn't much else to say about this, other than it's the VU as you've probably never heard them before, and so well worth at least one listen.
