Editing Angus MacLise (section)

===Brief return to the Velvet Underground===
In 1966 when Velvet Underground lead singer and guitarist [[Lou Reed]] was in the hospital with [[hepatitis]], MacLise rejoined the group for a five-day run of performances at Poor Richard's in Chicago, June 21–26, 1966 during the [[Exploding Plastic Inevitable]] performances, sharing duties with [[Gerard Malanga]], whom Angus had taught to play [[tabla]]. Cale took over lead vocals and organ, drummer Maureen Tucker switched to [[bass guitar|bass]] and MacLise drummed; by now, Tucker's idiosyncratic tribal style of drumming was integral to the group's music.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}

During an [[Exploding Plastic Inevitable]] performance in 1966, MacLise showed up half an hour late and carried on drumming for half an hour after the set had finished to compensate for his late arrival.<ref name="blastitude.com"/><ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web|author=Richie Unterberger|author-link=Richie Unterberger|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/angus-maclise-mn0000756247 |title=Angus MacLise &#124; Biography & History |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=2016-03-05}}</ref>

By this time the Velvet Underground had found some recognition (if not great financial success) and MacLise was anxious to rejoin the group, but according to the notes of the box set ''Peel Slowly and See'', the VU's primary songwriter and ''de facto'' bandleader [[Lou Reed]] had specifically prohibited MacLise from rejoining the band full-time due to his erratic behavior.
