I have certainly listened to oldies and classic rock for many years but didn't know that much about the Velvet Underground. I found out about the Velvet Underground Experience from a Twitter follower, @phungo2008 who is Paul Ember, a software engineering and baseball fan. I attended his talk titled The Warhol Triple Play: Maris, Seaver, and Rose at the SABR convention in Pittsburgh in June. He informed me of this exhibition from a tweet.
I reported in yesterday's journal entry of my research into the Velvet Underground in preparation for today's visit. The exhibit included films produced exclusively for this exhibition, portraits of each of the band members, hundreds of photos contributed by lenders and collectors, and a small room documenting Andy Warhol's relationship to the group. I took more time to examine items devoted to Lou Reed. who was also a solo performer after the group split.
I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition as I took 3 hours to look at everything. I highly recommend it.
