In 2006, a DVD version of the concert was released as Velvet Redux Live MCMXCIII by Warner Music Vision and Rhino Home Video.

In late 1992, the Velvet Underground 1965–1968 core line-up of Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker suddenly decided to reform.

[5] The decision was unexpected because the relationship between Reed and Cale had been sour ever since the late 1960s, and though it had ameliorated after back catalogue royalty renegotiations in the mid-1980s, it had hit another low after their 1990 collaboration Songs for Drella.

Nevertheless, an impromptu one-song reunion in Jouy-en-Josas, France, later that year for an Andy Warhol exhibition set the scene, and by 1993 the band had started to rehearse for a world tour.

[2] The Velvet Underground's reunion itself met with critical praise from the mainstream rock press, and generated heavy publicity for the band (resulting in the six-week European leg having many sold-out venues or near capacity), but the album received mixed reviews.
