Lou Reed was the headliner and The Velvet Underground was once managed by Andy Warhol. Warhol's Factory studio was known for being a hangout for artists as well as a venue that hosted legendary parties.
The Velvet Underground will run for approximately two hours and feature rare performances and recordings, Warhol films and experimental art. It also includes in-depth interviews and discussions with key players from that time.
The Velvet Underground was a pioneer in rock 'n roll music and a change of sound. The film "The Velvet Underground", directed by Todd Haynes is a fascinating look at how the band became a cultural icon. It shows a variety of contradictions, including the band being both contemporary and timeless, literary and realistic, and rooted in street culture as well as high art.
Apple TV+ will premiere "The Velvet Underground," which joins a number of other documentaries Apple has acquired, including Werner Herzog's documentary "Fireball: Visitors From Darker Worlds", "Boys State," and "Beastie Boys Story" as well as "Dads" and "The Elephant Queen".
