The Velvet Underground's Loaded

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUcwNwMKAWs

Description: The Velvet Underground’s *Loaded* trades downtown menace for a hazy, radio‑ready glow, and its New York setting echoes that shift: midtown streets where commuters rush by, unaware that “Sweet Jane” and “Rock & Roll” are quietly rewriting the city’s soundtrack. Imagine the band’s bittersweet farewell to its classic lineup pulsing beneath the rumble of nearby Port Authority and the neon flicker of 1970 Times Square, just blocks from this spot in ZIP 10018. Standing here, you can almost hear Lou Reed’s guitar cutting through taxi horns and subway grates, loading the ordinary Manhattan grid with something stranger and more permanent. This is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
