'''''Live at Max's Kansas City''''' is a [[live album]] by [[the Velvet Underground]]. It was originally released on May 30, 1972, by [[Cotillion Records|Cotillion]], a subsidiary [[record label|label]] of [[Atlantic Records]].
'''''Live at Max's Kansas City''''' is a live album by [[the Velvet Underground]] recorded at the famous nightclub and restaurant at 213 Park Avenue South in New York City. It was originally released on May 30, 1972, by [[Cotillion Records|Cotillion]], a subsidiary label of [[Atlantic Records]].


==About the album==
==Background==
The Velvet Underground signed a two-[[album]] deal with Atlantic in late 1969 and released their fourth studio album, ''[[Loaded (The Velvet Underground album)|Loaded]]'', in September 1970. By the time of its release, however, [[singer]]/[[guitarist]]/main [[songwriter]] [[Lou Reed]] had left. The band soldiered on with [[bassist]] [[Doug Yule]] moving to vocals and guitar and [[Walter Powers (musician)|Walter Powers]] being drafted in to play [[bass guitar|bass]].
The Velvet Underground signed a two-album deal with Atlantic in early 1970 and released their fourth studio album, ''[[Loaded (The Velvet Underground album)|Loaded]]'', in November 1970. By the time of its release, singer/guitarist/main songwriter [[Lou Reed]] had left the band. The rest of the group continued on together, with [[Doug Yule]] switching from bass to guitar and taking over as full-time lead vocalist. [[Walter Powers (musician)|Walter Powers]] was brought in to play bass. This line-up did a tour of the United States and Canada promoting ''Loaded'', and also played additional, unreleased material that had been planned for inclusion on another new studio album. Atlantic, however, having lost faith in the band's commercial prospects decided to cut their losses after the disappointing chart showings of ''Loaded'', and opted to release an archival live recording instead.


The tapes that would later become ''Live at Max's Kansas City'' were recorded on August 23, 1970, by [[Andy Warhol]] associate [[Brigid Polk]] on a portable [[musicassette|cassette]] recorder. During the recording of ''Loaded'', the Velvet Underground also held a nine-week engagement (June 24&nbsp;– August 28, 1970) playing two sets per night at New York City [[nightclub]] [[Max's Kansas City]]. Polk had been in the habit of recording almost everything happening around her at the time, and this resulted in her capturing what turned out to be the band's last live performance with Reed. Later that year, Atlantic [[A&R]] employee [[Danny Fields]] heard the tapes and submitted them to his superiors, who accepted the recordings and in 1972 decided to make an album out of them, despite their relatively poor fidelity. Polk had made the recordings on a mono recorder using a simple [[Iron(III) oxide|ferro]] musicassette, resulting in [[tape hiss]] and [[audience]] noise often audible during the music's quieter parts. Author and musician [[Jim Carroll]] can be heard speaking on the album, ordering [[alcoholic beverage|drinks]] and inquiring about drugs between songs, as he was the one holding the recording microphone.
This line-up did a tour of the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] promoting ''Loaded''. As the band still had a contract for another album, they wrote and played new songs eventually to be included on it. Atlantic, however, had lost faith in the band's commercial prospects and, wanting to cut their losses after the disappointing chart showings of ''Loaded'', decided to release an archive live recording instead.


The line-up for these recordings consisted of Reed, Yule, lead guitarist [[Sterling Morrison]] and drummer [[Billy Yule]], the younger brother of Doug Yule; regular drummer [[Moe Tucker|Maureen Tucker]] temporarily left the group several months earlier when she became pregnant with her first child, Kerry "Trucker" Tucker.
The tapes that would later become ''Live at Max's Kansas City'' were recorded on August 23, 1970, by [[Andy Warhol]] associate [[Brigid Polk]] on a portable [[musicassette|cassette]] recorder. While they were recording ''Loaded'', the Velvet Underground held a nine-week engagement (June 24&nbsp;– August 28, 1970) at [[New York City|New York]] [[nightclub]] [[Max's Kansas City]], playing two sets a night. Polk recorded almost everything happening around her at the time, and this happened to include her attendance of the last concert that Lou Reed played with the Velvet Underground. She recorded both the early and the late set. Later that year, Atlantic [[A&R]] employee [[Danny Fields]] heard the tapes and submitted them to his superiors, who accepted the recordings and in 1972 decided to make an album out of them. The line-up at the concerts comprised Reed, [[Sterling Morrison]], Yule and [[Billy Yule]], the younger brother of Yule who was filling in for usual drummer [[Maureen Tucker]] while she was on [[maternity leave]] to have her first child Kerry.


Originally, ''Live at Max's Kansas City'' was a single album, with each side respectively devoted to the band's louder and quieter material.
Originally, ''Live at Max's Kansas City'' was a single album distillation of both sets re-sequenced and edited by Lou Reed and Atlantic staff [[record producer|producer]] [[Geoff Haslam]] to reflect the band's loud and quiet sides, respectively. On August 3, 2004, [[Warner Music Group|Warner Music]] re-issue label [[Rhino Records]] released a two-CD Deluxe Edition that contains both sets in their entirety in their original running order. The songs were recorded on a [[monaural|mono]] recorder using a simple [[Iron(III) oxide|ferro]] musicassette in a small venue, resulting in [[tape hiss]] and an [[audience]] often drowning out the quieter bits of music.
The songs were selected and edited from both sets by Lou Reed and Atlantic staff producer Geoff Haslam. On August 3, 2004, [[Warner Music Group|Warner Music]] re-issue label [[Rhino Records]] released a two-CD Deluxe Edition including both full sets in their original running order.

Author [[Jim Carroll]] can be heard speaking on the album, ordering [[drinks]] and inquiring about [[drugs]] between songs as he was the one holding the microphone.

Live at Max's Kansas City is a live album by the Velvet Underground recorded at the famous nightclub and restaurant at 213 Park Avenue South in New York City. It was originally released on May 30, 1972, by Cotillion, a subsidiary label of Atlantic Records.

Background

The Velvet Underground signed a two-album deal with Atlantic in early 1970 and released their fourth studio album, Loaded, in November 1970. By the time of its release, singer/guitarist/main songwriter Lou Reed had left the band. The rest of the group continued on together, with Doug Yule switching from bass to guitar and taking over as full-time lead vocalist. Walter Powers was brought in to play bass. This line-up did a tour of the United States and Canada promoting Loaded, and also played additional, unreleased material that had been planned for inclusion on another new studio album. Atlantic, however, having lost faith in the band's commercial prospects decided to cut their losses after the disappointing chart showings of Loaded, and opted to release an archival live recording instead.

The tapes that would later become Live at Max's Kansas City were recorded on August 23, 1970, by Andy Warhol associate Brigid Polk on a portable cassette recorder. During the recording of Loaded, the Velvet Underground also held a nine-week engagement (June 24 – August 28, 1970) playing two sets per night at New York City nightclub Max's Kansas City. Polk had been in the habit of recording almost everything happening around her at the time, and this resulted in her capturing what turned out to be the band's last live performance with Reed. Later that year, Atlantic A&R employee Danny Fields heard the tapes and submitted them to his superiors, who accepted the recordings and in 1972 decided to make an album out of them, despite their relatively poor fidelity. Polk had made the recordings on a mono recorder using a simple ferro musicassette, resulting in tape hiss and audience noise often audible during the music's quieter parts. Author and musician Jim Carroll can be heard speaking on the album, ordering drinks and inquiring about drugs between songs, as he was the one holding the recording microphone.

The line-up for these recordings consisted of Reed, Yule, lead guitarist Sterling Morrison and drummer Billy Yule, the younger brother of Doug Yule; regular drummer Maureen Tucker temporarily left the group several months earlier when she became pregnant with her first child, Kerry "Trucker" Tucker.

Originally, Live at Max's Kansas City was a single album, with each side respectively devoted to the band's louder and quieter material. The songs were selected and edited from both sets by Lou Reed and Atlantic staff producer Geoff Haslam. On August 3, 2004, Warner Music re-issue label Rhino Records released a two-CD Deluxe Edition including both full sets in their original running order.
