The VELVET UNDERGROUND has always been one of my favourite bands, whose influence on the punk scene which followed is undisputed. I never got to see them together, but separately they trickled into my sphere- beginning with LOU REED, which was one of my first concert shoots on Oct.25, '76 at the Massey Hall in Toronto. 
One of my Lou Reed photos appears on the February, 2008 cover of SXSWorld magazine!
MORE LOU REED photos from the Edge gig are on my Indyfoto site.
Later in 1979 The Edge in Toronto brought both JOHN CALE, in March, and NICO, who performed solo.
NICO
JOHN CALE’s band consisted of an amazing group of people who I remember as being exceptionally accommodating and friendly. It was unusual to include women in bands, which I appreciated- though the tambourines undercut the impact somewhat. But John Cale's construction hat... why? I never got it. All my stage photos of Cale look like he's digging on a building site rather than playing a gig.
I'm hoping to identify the members of Cale's band. The list I have from a '79 recording is:
Vocals, piano, guitar, fretless bass & viola: John Cale
Lead Guitar: Marc Aaron
Keyboards & vocals: Joe Bidewell
Percussion & vocals: Deerfrance
Bass & vocals: George Scott
Drums & vocals: Doug Bowne
Email or write below in comments if you can help! Thanks!
Deerfrance is in the center!
I think this may be Marc Aaron...
