Option 1: Personnel timeline (graph, adapted from original)
Notes:
 * Doug Yule's tenure with the band has been divided into two stretches (1968–1970 and 1970–1973) to reflect his shift from bass/keyboards/occasional vocals to singer/guitarist after Lou Reed's departure.
 * Yule retired the Velvet Underground band name from active service after the February 1973 release of Squeeze. In late 1972, he toured the United Kingdom in support of the upcoming album, accompanied by a backing band consisting of Rob Norris, George Kay and Mark Nauseef.
 * The May 1973 gigs were booked as "The Velvet Underground" against Yule's wishes, who wanted to be billed as "featuring Doug Yule of The Velvet Underground"
