Television - Venus

[RManFlint]

Did they have a plane to catch?

[hdregmore]

The best guitar lines ever. One of the very few tunes where the lead has to work

the entire song (and does it so brilliantly) I can listen to it a million times and still get something new from it.

[TheRanTanWaltz]

We are big fans of Television and the new wave scene. If you could have a listen to our stuff (click our name and it will take you to our videos) and let us know what you think it would be much appreciated. Thanks

i love Television. I wish I could see them live, they're such a unique and original band.

[chinasherry1961]

I saw Richard LLoyd at the University of Miami in 1986 Great show

[dharmapop]

Thanks so much for these videos, Steiner62! I was lucky enough to see Television (on same bill with the original 3-member T-Heads) many, many times at CBGBs in the mid-70s, and love them just as much today. Thanks for the great music and memories!

[maida1982a]

They aren't entertainers. They will do what they please.

[fatmayor]

Thank you for not liking this. Please forget you saw it and please don't tell anyone about it.

[jdotglenn]

Just listen to the SONG holmes...

[guinnesstrail]

I have to agree, this is about the best song in the world. Amazing guitar work. Great lyrics -- "Did you feel low? Nah, I fell into the arms of Venus de Milo." Ah, the glorious fall into the arms of a Venus that has no arms.

[blueice0170]

[Steiner62]

I saw Televison twice back in the mid-late 70s in the NYC area when the opened for Peter Gabriel... unfortunately they were booed off by some rowdy Gab fans for the NYC show...

[MarqueeMoon95]

What???? How could anyone want to boo off Television???? I would be honoured to see them even once!

[windmills20]

yeah man fuck Peter Gabriel fans!

[netox777]

the besto song of the world

[TheGreatGallbo]

this version is at a faster tempo than when I saw them in NYC...

Then again, this is 5 years earlier... I guess even rock and rollers get older and slower

[ClueSign]

The 2002 shows were great -- did you see them at Irving Plaza?

[TheGreatGallbo]

When did they play at Irving? Gaahhh I wish I had gotten into Televison a lot earlier in my life

[superchango8]

Actually, this version is faster than the original.
