*SOurce*

I received this on VHS in a trade several years ago and I don't know the generation. It's taken from two sources:

SOurce 1
This is is often referred to as the 'official' recording as it was made on behalf of the Fondation Cartier. As far as I can tell from my research, it has never been released commercially and would probably be better described as 'Pro'. It contains the full set starting with Lou Reed and John Cale performing songs from 'Songs for Drella'. This is followed by the first reunion of the Reed/Cale/Morrison/Tucker Velvet Underground line-up performing a superb 'Heroin'.

Source 2
This recording was broadcast on MTV in black & white. It features only 'Heroin' with the start cut.

*Quality*
The quality is not good and appears to have been through several generations before getting to me. This leads to the associated fuzziness and hiss you would expect. Despite the quality, it is very watchable and I think VU fans will enjoy it for the performance of 'Heroin' which is historic and very good. I will add some screenshots and mp3 samples to let you assess it for yourself.
