WHAT A FUCKING BAND!

I saw Tom Verlaine solo some years ago but never saw Television play live, so this is a great treat, even with soft visuals and subdued volume. Verlaine plays a solo that ranks with the best guitar solos I've ever heard, and I'm a huge Mark Knopfler fan. What a thrill! This needs to be heard by anyone who loves great rock.

Reminds me of Jimi Hendrix and The Band Of Gypsies at Woodstock doing Jam Back At The House.

I can understand not liking Verlaine's voice...but part of the joy in discovering real "alternative" or fringe music is acquiring the acquired taste of a unique voice such as Verlaine. There's also The Smiths (Morrissey) or Ian Curtis of Joy Division. At first you might think it's way too weird, but if you give it a chance, there's new frontiers to be known!

Good on you,let people know about talent when you have it & you have it in abundance, I love this track & have been a fan of the band for a long time. I think the early breakup created a sort of mystique about Television. What do you think?

[Mic Bartz]

The only problem I had with the whole album were the songs felt too short for my liking- I just love to wallow in these guitars...

[Richard Lloyd]

Yo, Taichi50, That's not Tom playing the solo -- it's me... Suprise... Tom plays the end solo, I play the middle but because it was television I cut my solo in half. Go on, Worship Tom, he'll despise you for it. Hahahaha.
