So few views? Tremendously sad! They were really big in the day. But then Paul Simon walked out on their show, and that was it for them. The Grateful Dead of Punk. Tom Verlaine is an incredible guitarist, I expected more. To think this band turned down Dee Dee Ramone in an audition!

[Firstserger]

punk

[Jeandickface]

Awesome guitarrist

[fredfosterx]

I like this song and Siouxsie Sioux's version (Siouxsie's better).

[teisenmenger]

@fredfosterx You're kidding, right? Siouxie's version has no soul, no fireworks, no sweat...

[fredfosterx]

You know what.. I heard Siouxsie's version first so it always sticks with me. I love this version also, and absolutely see your point.

[desasterz]

how does he make those violin noizes???? at the begining

[TheGreatGallbo]

Really I think it's just his playing style a little, but if you're refering to at about :30, I think it's just the way verlaine plays and he is probably using the volume knob on the guitar as a sort of tremolo effect... by turning the volume knob quicky low and then high

[desasterz]

@TheGreatGallbo no, i meant at 0.36

[kipperfeast]

@desasterz He's fast-picking and using the sharp edge of it going sideways. Brilliant!

[rossmiddleton1]

In case u don't know, the little johnny jewel in question is james jewel osterburg, ie, Iggy Pop.

[AK40Evan]

Are there any videos of them performing this song before they're old and crusty?

[Mff21]

at 0:36 made me pee my pants a little

[SEYMORDICK]

life's too short to imitate others...

[kwakky]

don't be a douche. life's too short to let others tell you what to do.

[wvcguimaraes]

man i love this band so much, very underrated

tanks for the upload

[doctorluv]

Hey does anybody know if Television would be playing anytime soon? I would really appreciate it.

[WoundedKite]

Christ, I didn't know Television were still performing. Verlaine is up there with Lou Reed and whoever else music folk's sacred cows are, although actually I'm glad he hasn't attracted as much attention as he deserves. Fuck, Television, I love Television.

[doctorluv]

Fuck I wish I would've been there, I've never been able to see them live, but kudos to who ever posted this.

[poddel]

Thanxx when is this concert from?

[TheGreatGallbo]

June 16th .. like about week ago. I twas free and at Central Park in NYC

[wildshovel]

Fantastic!  Can't wait for part2!

[TheGreatGallbo]

Bad news.. I didn't get to tape part two. I was trying to save time on the camera for Marquee Moon, as I figured it'd be like a 15 minute performance (and it was)... but it turned out I only got 3/1/2 minutes of Marquee Moon, as I got shut down by a security guard.
