From Brooklyn Vegan:
Not a lot of live footage exists of The Velvet Underground and definitely not much in color. But, as Dangerous Minds points out, film of them playing Dallas Peace Day, a Vietnam War protest that happened on October 15, 1969, has been unearthed. The footage is part of a collection of hundreds of reels of film, most of them unmarked and unidentified, in the holdings of the G. William Jones Film & Video Collection at the SMU Library archives.
The band were in Dallas for a week of shows and were one of a handful of artists, including Lou Rawls, to play the Peace Day protest. G. William Jones Film & Video Collection uploaded a few lengthy clips from the protest, which includes the band performing “I’m Waiting for the Man,” “Beginning to See the Light,” and “I’m Set Free,” and there’s an interview with Sterling Morrison as well. Sound is on the muffled side but it is fascinating nonetheless. They also uploaded silent b-roll footage which has more of VU. Watch those, with the points The Velvet Underground appear cued up, below.

Velvet Underground - Squeeze - 1st - EX - UK - vinyl LP - £50.00, $61.00, €55.50 (Back In Stock) (arrived 05-Aug-2019 15:48)
VELVET UNDERGROUND Squeeze (1972 UK first issue 11-track LP, a very unusual footnote to the Velvet Underground's career in that this seldom seen album features none of the original members! Mo Tucker toured with the band during this periodbut left shortly before the album was recorded & all songs are written and sung by Doug Yule who was featured heavily on the band's previous album Loaded, with all drumming duties performed by a certain Ian Paice of Deep Purple. Needless to say, the album sold in very small quantities and has remained an elusive item in the Velvet's catalogue ever since. Housed in its original picture sleeve. The sleeve has a little discolouration, sticker residue and minor edgewear, whilst the vinyl remains in near mint condition)
