1967 is way too early with this lineup of songs. Much more likely to be February 1969,

Thanks for this, one I didn't have.

Thanks for posting but the date is absolute nonsense. In Feb 1967 they hadn't released White Light-White Heat (2nd LP) so songs like Ocean, Lisa Says, What Goes On, New Age Sweet Jane were years away. Plus John Cale was still firmly ensconced in the band which sounds audibly different from the Yule version.

This is what has been added to Discogs for this release:

Pirate of official The Velvet Underground With Lou Reed - 1969 Velvet Underground Live With Lou Reed with the exception of Ocean which is the The Velvet Underground - VU studio version!
The backcover notes indicate incorrectly "Live in Chicago, February 28, 1967"
indeed:
2, 4-7, 9.12: The Matrix, San Francisco, California, November 1969
3, 8: End of Cole Ave, Dallas, Texas, October 19, 1969


I've listened to a snippet of all the tracks and agree with the above assessment.
