They were the best looking band at this point. Verlaine is like a trobadour from the asylum who has never washed his hair, RL looking like Brian Jones' younger brother and Hell in those great ripped t-shirts. Sooo cute.
I'm glad he hasn't, but how come Richard Hell hasn't lodged a copyright infringement claim? Of my own early Television uploads, only two got spiked - the two that had Hell singing&which he presumably co-wrote ( Hell sang songs he wrote lyrics for), "Excitement", & "Blank Generation", spiked by "Richard Meyers". Btw, lloyd206's comment is from THE Richard Lloyd, who apparently enjoys vintage Television on YT, unlike f*cking Hell! As Lloyd says,
what a brilliant song. is there a better quality audio version of the same performance of eat the light available anywhere? Not the version available in poor circulation.
incredible!!!! thanks for posting. greatest band ever, and also the greatest looking band ever! I mean, just look at them! so cool without even trying

Nothing cooler than a guitarist who looks like he's skating on the spot (I'm looking at you, Richard Lloyd! Very nice).

Damn!! I clicked on this expecting an audio track accompanied by a still picture, and-wow-there's Richard Hell, talking and moving in 1975.
Just like those in-the-know have said, the early Television does sound like a 1960's garage band-here you can really hear the Velvets influence.
A pure moment of pure rock 'n roll. Thanks!
