Re: Moe Tucker doc


 

Oh cool, I haven't seen this either. But yeah, I saw the Velvets doc in the theater last weekend, and it was just fantastic, I thought. Watching Jonathan Richman talking about them nearly brought me to tears, it was so moving. I'd definitely recommend going to see it in a theater if you can, the sound was incredible and 3-dimensional, I've never heard anything like it before. There's a double soundtrack cd out for it as well.?

I remember the Velvets' early 90s reunion, but I was a new father at that time and the idea of traveling to one of the coasts to pay gobs of cash to see them at the time was not really even a possibility. I did get a letter in Rolling Stone magazine at the time, however, making a snarky comment about them touring as an opener for U2, comparing that to Jimi Hendrix having opened for the Monkees back in the day..?

I just watched this:

It's really good, the rather well-groomed guy in the big posh house demonstrates what Moe Tucker plays on stacks of VU songs.

I feel like a total numpty not realising how unique her style was, maybe that's because what she did fitted just so perfectly in with the rest of the VU sound?

I was prompted to watch it because I enjoyed the VU doc on Apple TV so much.

I'd also forgotten they reformed in 1993 - how did I not bust a gut to go and see them live?!?
