Love the high pitched wow that you expell hehehe. What happened to Television finally? They keep playing?

[TheGreatGallbo]

This may have actually been the last gig they did as Television.. it was supposed to be all the suriving members at this show, but Richard Lloyd ended up in the hospital last minute

[asSwanski]

No, it wasn't their last gig. In 2011, they did a couple of gigs in Brazil. There are a few videos of these shows on YouTube as a 3-part interview with MTV Brazil. During this interview there was even talk of a new album. Richard Lloyd has left the band though. Jimmy Rip has taken his place.

[TheGreatGallbo]

Thanks for the heads up... I'll have to look for those vids. This was easily one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I've seen way too many to count.

[TheGreatGallbo]

yes yes yes, it was begining of June, 2007 just to put a period on all this conversation about the date. I shot the video, and the date I posted it was a week or so after the show.

Look, Television influenced nearly EVERYONE, from U2 to R.E.M. to the Pixies to just about every indie band of the last 30 years. So even if someone wasn't influenced by them directly, they were influenced by them via someone else that Television influenced. It is just ludicrous that they still aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Nor is Big Star. Until those two bands get in the R&R HOF will remain a joke.

Yes there are some Television moments on the Strokes but I really Dont think its their main influence...I love the Strokes and all but Television in more complex, Strokes are straight pop (good pop) and Television is more artsy in my opinion

[Kurt Knutsen]

BTW  i'm not in the U.S...and dont send me any more pm's you idiot...

[T seikert]

U2 are savvy enough to play the game a little and do some pop songs like with or WITHOUT you-a pop song that states I cant live WITH you- wow what a pop sellout(sarcasm) so U2 could then make a punk song like desire into a #1 song and The Fly into a #17 song as well as a hit gospel song "When love comes to town"How about you get your head out of your ass and stop being a a I hate all popular band poseur.If it wasnt for U2 you wouldnt even of heard of television in the U.S.

[BonoMeArse]
