Velvet Underground Summer Residency 1970

A recurring night threaded through the atlas. A party often outlives any single room, tracing it across addresses is one way the atlas connects eras.

Rooms it touched

1965–1974 (Ruskin era); 1975–1981 (Mills/Crowley era) · Gramercy / Union Square, Manhattan

Nine-week engagement, June 24–August 28, two sets per night; Lou Reed's final run with the band. The August 23 show was recorded by Brigid Polk.
