The Velvet Underground - What Goes On

The Velvet Underground - What Goes On clip, from their self-titled third album (1969). Lou Reed: vocals, guitar. Sterling Morrison: guitar. Doug Yule: bass, organ. Maureen Tucker: drums. #TheVelvetUnderground Although What Goes On was recorded in Los Angeles for The Velvets’ third album in 1969 with Doug Yule on bass and organ, the band performed What Goes On live with John Cale on organ regularly, until his departure from The Velvets in September 1968. By all accounts Cale’s rendition of What Goes On on organ was legendary (although I haven’t found any recordings of it yet) and that’s why John Cale appears in this video instead of Doug Yule who actually played a Vox Continental organ on this song and there’s hardly any actual footage of The Velvets with Doug Yule, from his entrance in the band in September 1968 until August 1970, when Lou Reed effectively put an end to The Velvet Underground’s story by leaving the band during a residency at New York’s legendary club Max
