Galapogos is the name of the club (in Brooklyn) not the song. That aside, I have seen Verlaine a number of times. Always inspiring, unique and totally enjoyable.
Very cool clip. Thank you so much for posting this - as a person living in the midwest, I can't readily see Tom Verlaine live, and these videos are the closest link I get.
That being said, I think this song's actually some variation of "Wheel Broke" from Around. (Though Tom might've called it Galapogos here, and it's certainly an interesting title)
Verlaine is playing a Strat...He is lucky he gets play this crap.

New song or jam?. I see he was looking to a paper on the floor for the set list.

Oh, that's a shame.
I'm glad Tom's been has been making appearances here and there with various musicians. I wish he'd put out more studio work though. :p
