Here is an all-too-short clip of the Velvet Underground playing "Venus in Furs" at Andy Warhol's Silver Factory. Also making the scene are Edie Sedgwick and "whip dancer" Gerard Malanga.

Wow. Is it Jack Smith? Very cool. I don't think I've ever seen him before! Or known it was him, anyway. How about John Cale though. The other Velvets were ultracool but Cale was (is) so downtown avant-garde. I love it.
