Television: 1880 Or So (Later)

Why doesn't billy look any older than he does on the adventure cover? I fucking love television and I fucking love this song

YES, YES, YES these are the precursors to all the greats...!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A FUCKING BAND!

Yes ,Yes Yes ! Rock royalty ! I walked into CBGB's in '76 or so for a drink and stuck around to hear these guys.Have not seen them since. As someone said earlier , Hard to pick fav's. Theres so many.

Hey Zigg, I can't talk about the finer points of the strat over the jazzmaster like these guys, though I respect their comments greatly, but just the confidence, omnipotence, arrogance (in the nicest sense) of Verlaine making a decision 'should I change the plec, hmm' half way through the song! Yes, rock n' roll royalty of the true line!

Ahhhhh. So awesome. This it it.

Verlaine shoukd stick with the Jazzmaster, he's not the same with the Strat, he never uses (or has) the tremolo bar on it. He creates the most beautiful and aggressive solos with the Jazzmaster.

Unquestionably, he's great with the jazzmaster, almost certainly the greatest jazzmaster player ever. At the same time, though, he's managed to take his creativity in a whole new direction with his lipstick-pickup stratocaster, emphasizing chord structure, harmonics and volume swells in a different way than before. Have you heard any of the Experimental Film recordings or Songs and Other Things? They might just change your mind.

love that mixolydian solo! sort of in the same style as mark knopfler you could say? amazing band...
