Bettie Serveert plays Venus in Furs and other Velvet Underground songs is a live album by the Dutch indie rock band Bettie Serveert, released in 1998.[2][3] The songs are all Velvet Underground covers, recorded during a concert at the Paradiso, in Amsterdam, in 1997.[4]

The album was a limited release and quickly sold out and was out of print until 2019 when the album, along with four bonus tracks, was reissued and remastered for a digital-only release on 27 November 2019. The release date marked exactly 22 years after their last Paradiso show. A music video for "Beginning to See the Light" was released to promote the reissue. The music video featured footage of the Super 8 movies that were projected during the band's live show.
