  • I love Television, and for me this is a very sad site. I thought I might've been able to see them reasonably decent before they burnt out..ah well.

  • Well, you probably weren't at this show...

    When Tom Verlaine was being screamed at to get off stage because of the park's noise cerfew.. he looked over his shoulder at the stage manager, gave a nic little smirk, and then went back to abusing his Stratocaster for the end of Marquee Moon.

    It was faaantastic. One of the best shows I have seen.. and I've gone to 80+ shows in my life

  • wow the sound is really good

    im so jealous you went to this

  • Yeah, I'm really glad I went...

    and not to make ya feel any worse about it..

    but it was free, and Tom Verlaine blew my mind.

  • pretty goog video, I apreciate the entireness of it

  • Thanks, I didn't tape too much from this show, but if I did I tried to be complete (Except for Marquee Moon... because I got shut down by the man)

  • They sound great. I'd sit in smelly Port-a-Potty if I had to to hear Television do "Venus".

  • @TonyArrison

    Wanna see the real deal? Check out Fred Smith w/ the Revelons at Bowery Ballroom from last summer.That's the band that still has it.But for some reason they rarely do a show.

  • Two strats sound as thin as trace paper.

  • a song i play over & over. this is a good version,years later,but,hey...Tom Verlaine is a god !!

  • @saborranchero This is exactly what I am doing at this moment - suddenly haunted by this song this week after many years, right now figuring it out note for note on my acoustic guitar, and marveling at the composition of it.

  • Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd - These guys were punk godfathers, psychedelic guitar madmen and romantic poets all at the same time. Nothing like them, before or since.

  • "I fell into the arms of Venus de Milo."

    This has to be one of the most ingenius lyrics in all of music!

  • This song is a lot of fun to play. While learning it the other day I realized the genius it takes to write something this awesome.

  • @TonyArrison I don't get it? this is a perfect rendition of this song, albeit with low quality sound
