artwork included

The circumstances of this concert are described in some detail in the superb book "White Light White Heat" by Ritchie Unterberger. Included in there is the revelation that part of the show (Candy Says and most of Heroin) was filmed!

Without a drummer, the focus is on the quieter songs. While the sound quality is very poor, the performance itself is very interesting, catching the band just at the start of the recording sessions for "Loaded". The lyrics for Sweet Jane and New Age are almost (but not quite) in their final form.
