This was Sheffield City Hall. May 24, 1977 .Tom Verlaine (Vocals and Guitar); Richard Lloyd (Guitar and Vocals); Fred Smith (Bass); and Billy Ficca (Drums). I found some old 35mm slides collecting dust in a box in my attic. Spent some time carefully restoring/enhancing them, and I uploaded them here for your entertainment, and in the process learning how to use Sony Vegas! Looking at these it's interesting to compare the flash shots to the available lighting ones. I very rarely used flash for any of the concerts I photographed. You gain an impression of detail, but lose a lot of the mood in my opinion. These were from my glory days (LOL) Some time later I started using negative material, which also seemed to give more crisp images, but lost a lot of the atmosphere. Good old Ektachrome! Got some fairly decent close ups of the band from right down at the front. The music is from Television 1976-12-28 CBGB, NYC Enjoy!

@PurgeInsurgency I totally agree..That chord that hits seemingly premature in the chorus after "dont go to my head" has blown my mind since I first that...and the ensuing 8- count ascension....cool as shit

does he sing "elevation" or "television"? I have always wondered... Thanks for some great pix

1776-1775

I’ve always marveled at how strange that chorus is –I thought it might have been a recording trick, but now that I hear the live version…that beat right after he says “don’t go to my head” is just a fraction of a beat short of the natural upbeat. It blows my mind.

@themonkees1969 I think he's referring to the red-eye! My flash lit up his eyes ..
