Recorded live one night in Amsterdam in 1997, this convergence of Dutch rockers Bettie Serveert and the songs of the Velvet Underground can only be described as a match made in heaven. One might argue that this is not the most original or daring of experiments, given that the Betties' musical apple does not fall far from the V.U. tree. But it is clearly a labor of love, executed with style and respect.
