Former Velvet Underground members Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker and Doug Yule will make an extremely rare joint public appearance on December 8 at the New York Public Library.
The three will discuss the Velvet Underground's music and legacy with rock journalist David Fricke as part of the "LIVE from the NYPL" series.
The reunion of the legendary New York band comes on the heels of the publication of "The Velvet Underground: New York Art," a compendium of previously unseen photographs, poster and cover designs by Andy Warhol, Lou Reed's handwritten music and lyrics, underground press clippings and other reviews, flyers, handbills and posters.
The book, published by Italian book house Rizzoli, also contains a recorded conversation between Reed and Tucker, as well as contributions from former Czech president Vaclav Havel and author Jon Savage.
The event will take place at the Celeste Bartos Forum in the library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 5th Ave. and 42nd St. General admission tickets are $25, and $15 tickets are available for library donors, students and seniors through the NYPL website...

What year did Keith Richards go on your list? surely he preceded Lou.
He’s my favorite one. I think he hates Lou Reed but I’m not positive
about that. Lou grabbed all the writing credits early on when the others
didn’t care and was the only one to really profit from the velvet underground.
Keith Richards died 20 years ago, replaced by a double. It must be because no human can survive that. As Dennis Leary says (paraphrase), “You did all the drugs. There aren’t any left. We’re going to have to burn you and smoke the ashes.”

He’s a total health food nut these days and so is his wife. ...Laurie Anderson
