EPI toured the United States for a year before ended by a series of calamities.

See the Velvet Underground rehearse at The Factory in preparation for an upcoming performance. This documentary film, directed by Andy Warhol, appears to have been produced with the intention of projecting it behind the band during the "Exploding Plastic Inevitable." However, the rehearsal is interrupted by the arrival of New York City police officers responding to a noise complaint.(1966/65 mins./black and white/sound/not rated)
