DON'T BLINK

Here's an oddball, and I'm not going to go on and on about it. In short, it's the Yardbirds doing the Yelvet Underground's "Waiting For the Man", live in 1968, just months after the first Velvet's LP was released. It's an audience tape, and it's from 1968, so as you would guess, the quality of the recording sucks dry shit. But it is an oddball, of a great band covering another great band that you wouldn't ordinarily associate them with. Considering that the LP didn't sell much when it came out makes it all the more compelling, that the Yardbirds were cognizant of the VU. This is one odd combination and probably won't pop up again, and that far outweighs shitty sound quality. There's another cover below, of the Yardbirds doing Dylan's "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)" from a BBC session. The sound is a lot better on that one

Note: Though it's obvious, in the interest of CYA I should point out that the image above is a fake album cover. The last thing I need is the Warhol estate nitpicking around here.
