According to the great book, WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT: THE VELVET UNDERGROUND DAY BY DAY by Richie Unterberger:
"The Velvets apparently play just about every song they’ve ever released and then some. “Every time someone would yell out a request,” Angel recalls, “[Reed] announced, ‘We’re gonna play it all.’” (When Angel then asks Reed if they’ll play ‘Sister Ray,’ Reed replies, “I said, all of it!”) Getting into the cow-town spirit, the Velvets’ frontman wears a straw cowboy hat for the third and final show; otherwise, Angel says, “he wore the same outfit all three nights – blue bell bottoms, and maybe a shirt with horizontal stripes. It looked kind of like a sailor’s outfit in a way.”
