I came across a film of archive.org described as “The Velvet Underground and Nico on Rai Tre Italian Television in 1966, mainly a long instrumental. “ With a little research I found out it was a little more than that.
It turned out to be very important film from the early days of one of rocks most influential groups the Velvet Underground. We see the original lineup; Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Mo Tucker and Nico. Filmed by Andy Warhol at the Factory in early 1966 it is known as “Symphony of Sound” and it more than lives up to it's name. The symphony is unreleased composition of what can be best described as free rock that lasts over an hour with no vocals and Cale switching back & forth from violin to bass. The song was finally ended by police responding to noise complaints.
It's about an hour long and all instrumental I have broken it down into two clips this one is highlights from the "symphony" and the second clip shows the police raid and it's aftermath.
Here is a link if you'd like your own copy of this film.
