  Velvet Underground Cleveland 28 April 1968 tape source <br /> <br /> La Cave, Cleveland <br /> 28 (?) April 1968 <br /> <br /> Sweet Sister Ray 38.38 <br /> <br /> Lou Reed: guitar, vocals <br /> John Cale: keyboards <br /> Sterling Morrison: guitar <br /> Moe Tucker: drums <br /> <br /> lineage <br /> cassette - wavepad - wav - flac (level 8) - you <br /> <br /> original recording by Jaime Klimek <br /> transfer to wav by lurid_uk <br /> uploaded to Dime November 2007 <br /> <br /> Jaime Klimek recorded many of the Velvets' appearences in Cleveland, but this is the only one in common circulation which features John Cale. Reputedly, most of the original tape was inadvertently erased, leaving only &quot;Sweet Sister Ray&quot;, &quot;Heroin&quot; and a small segment of &quot;Venus In Furs&quot;. &quot;Heroin&quot; subsequently appeared on the &quot;Live 68&quot; bootleg LP in 1983. &quot;Sweet Sister Ray&quot; was finally issued on the double bootleg LP of the same name in the late 1980s, and again much more recently on the similarly titled 2CD set. (The 2CD set sounds as if it was mastered from a mint copy of the vinyl.). Like all of all the Klimek recordings, the exact date is uncertain - it is attributed to 30 April 1968 on the &quot;Live 68&quot; LP but this does not correlate with local press ads (attached) which list a 26th - 28th April residency. I've plumped for 28 April since that is the date given by the most authoritative sources. <br /> <br /> I obtained this tape copy a couple of years prior to the vinyl issue, and it contains a few seconds of preamble which seems to have been trimmed off all other circulating versions. Unfortunately, the recording has multiple flaws - signal level variations, drop-outs, several short periods of silence, no real dynamic range etc etc. Apart from cutting out the silent parts and balancing the channels, I've not tried to improve it at all. Overall quality isn't quite as good as the bootleg LP version, although it could possibly be cleaned up a bit with the right tools. <br /> <br /> This is the only known recording of this piece, which was commonly used as an opener for &quot;Sister Ray&quot; in the Cale-era - it very frustratingly cuts off just as Lou launches into the first verse of that song. The poor quality of the recording makes it very difficult to discern the lyrics, but it's probable that they were at least partly extemporised on the spot. <br /> <br /> Sweet Sister Ray went <br /> where a movie was goin' around <br /> It was the biggest movie <br /> that had ever come to town <br /> <br /> Why this is the biggest movie <br /> I ever seen in my whole day <br /> I've never seen a stranger sketch <br /> anyway <br /> <br /> Why I must be dead because <br /> I never felt this way alive <br /> At least I never felt this well <br /> since nineteen fifty five <br /> <br /> Just then Sister Ray felt <br /> a hand upon her knee <br /> &quot;Hey, I'm the crippled orphan <br /> and I come here constantly&quot; <br /> <br /> Why this is just like a mental hospital <br /> doors don't have any locks <br /> Just then in came the doctor <br /> and he's givin' us electro shock <br /> <br /> Ah, the vaseline on your forehead <br /> makes you feel so nice <br /> My hair stood up on end <br /> and I thought I'd been frozen in ice <br /> <br /> Ah, the room is so pretty <br /> purple curtains 'n' all <br /> No one knew that you're crazy <br /> unless you told them <br /> <br /> Just then I saw <br /> a hole in the ground <br /> And I jumped right in <br /> 'cause there wasn't nobody around <br /> <br /> lyrics transcription by Rob M <br /> <br /> distribute widely but do not sell!
