Saw Lloyd solo many times in the mid- 80s. He BURNED THE PLACE DOWN!! One of those rare performers that seemingly stops time! That man is DANGEROUS with a guitar!
I'm now learning to listen Television. They completely passed me by and were such an influential band. It's impressive how the two guitars are always connected building these beautiful melodies...I'm 52 years old but is never too late to start listening this great band...
The finest practicioners of this kind of two-guitar interplay. It's an absolute conversation between Lloyd and Verlaine. God I love this band- hugely influential.
Richard explains how they filled each others holes, and that is perfect description. They mesh and interplay so well is a skill in itself and what makes Television iconic. I was around NYC at that time getting into punk / new wave and just don't understand how I never made it to CBGBs but listened to all the albums. I think by the time the albums came out, these bands were maybe passed playing CBGBs. I saw them all elsewhere except for Television nor Tom Verlaine or Mathew Sweet with Richard on guitar, the show that I was set to go to, but did not get there. All my heros are dying but it was wonderful times and music.
It would have been helpful to list the song titles: First, "In World" and then "1880 (or So)". The band is in top form, with exquisite guitar work by both Verlaine and Lloyd. That solo by Verlaine midway through "1880" is incredibly hot.
Wonderful thnx. They were every bit as good then as 78. Seeing them live, the revalation was always how much Richard lloyd did - and then tom's solo and sound at 10.00. Gasp
I could talk all night! So I won't. I am 74 was as the I.O.W in1970. Only heard of this band a while back. Watched again tonight for the third time! Hope that tells you I am impressed 100%. Very good & modest talented musicians who are perfectly together!
@@jimmyhughes7754 With due respect, unless you caught the band live back in the CBGB's days, that comment makes no sense. Okay, or if it's early live bootlegs or demos, Richard Hell never recorded with them. He wasn't on any of the three studio records, nor the Blow-Up. So... Might I ask how you formed that opinion? Look, I love Richard Hell, too. "Blank Generation" is one of my favorite punk records. But, Television? His tenure with them is mostly legend, in my book.
Pity about the crappy camera work on "1880" where the director seems to spend far too long focussing on anything other than Richard Lloyd doing his thing. That said, it's a great performance by the band
John Cale , a great artist whom I have seen in concert many times since 1975 onwards. this is the only video I copied from TV of him th-cam.com/video/bUPvMzRhOTw/w-d-xo.html
@@dave225 Oh, I see. I can't tell from that quick and blurry pan, but it's possible that's John Cale. I could imagine he was a guest on that program at least once or twice, and maybe he was scheduled to perform on the same show with Television.
What does "fancy" mean? Fast and flashy? Lots of empty solos going on forever? The solos by Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd in "1880 (or so)", the final song in this performance are as good as it gets, particularly the Verlaine solo starting around the 9.10 mark. That's one of the most exciting and creative guitar solos you will find.
What a GREAT version of 1880 or so! Also, Lloyd gets my vote for most underrated guitarist of the 70's.
The 80's also. Just check out his album Fields Of Fire, if you haven't already.
True enough, but I believe Tom wrote most of the parts.
Billy Ficca my favorite drummer always.
That solo at the end was epic. Not a bad legacy to leave behind is it. RIP Tom.
Yep, that Roger McGuinn inspired solo at the end was epic, classic Tom!
That Verlaine solo in 1880
That's it !!!
RIP Tom. Thankyou

That man is DANGEROUS with a guitar!
Seen Llyod in nyc a few times in the last 10 years and he still has chops
what were his sets like?
RIP TV, but the whole band were brilliant. It's a shame they didn't record more. I treasure what they produced.
I'm on a Television kick today. Mow the lawn on a hot summer day & drink a pint or three. Relive my youth and do my adult chores.
Lloyd and Verlaine still killing it, what a duo❤️
Lloyd is not in the band anymore.. hasnt been for years
@@beastieboy9286 but he was there in this video
RIP Tom. What shining light you were to so many.

This is off the scale - two of the best at work .
For me, TV is ultimate guitar combination on this planet.
Thank you, Tom, such a beautiful, dynamic, colorful world you brought me. Rest In Peace.

guitars from outer space, and Billy Ficca, an amazing drummer

All the solos! Outstanding - both guys!
I wish Richard Thompson and Tom Verlaine had recorded an album of electric guitar solos together
Wonderful thnx. They were every bit as good then as 78. Seeing them live, the revalation was always how much Richard lloyd did - and then tom's solo and sound at 10.00. Gasp
You had a style that made you who you were and still are.. you left us with a legacy of music that wil live on long after your departure. RIP TOM
Fucking brilliant. Fare thee well, Tom Verlaine...

RIP. Thanks for all the great music!
A masterclass in guitar interplay.
RIP Tom Verlaine. Devastated. 😢
This is why the first Strokes LP sounded like it did. The guitar interplay is great in all of Televisions work
One of the greatest bands of all time
Art Bergmann here;I had never heard this;so right so great...of course Richard,Tom,Fred and the most interesting drummer ever:Billy Ficca!
Love this band!!!!
The definitive versions of these two songs. Vastly better than the comparatively tepid LP takes.
This video deserves to be seen by more like 30 million rock lovers not 30 thousand views as it presently is.
Or 300 million.
Richard was ALSO busy recording and touring with Matthew Sweet
billy is in charlie watts league
Stunning performance 🔥🔥🔥. That’s all I can say!
Just Wonderful.
Thanks for posting this. It's great. I'm one of the rare breed who prefers the 2nd & third Television albums to Marquee Moon.
I love Tom Verlaine, but it's not the same without Richard hell

I'm one of the rare breed who prefers Tom Verlaine's eponymous solo debut. :)
Thank Gawd for Jools!
Rest In Peace TV❤
RIP TOM🙌🏽📚🎸🌝❤
It's nice to see some footage of them that isn't so recent.
I don’t think they use any effects pedals ( I could be wrong). They do the old fashioned way. No wonder they’re always tuning up. Glorious
Very clean raw Rock sound. Love it.
No, you’re right. Verlaine plugs straight into the amp.
Plugged.
A Jaguar through a Vox AC-30? I'm going to have to investigate this one.
With P-90s??? Love it.
Jazzmaster...and they aren't p-90s :)
Stock Jazzmaster pickups.
no pedals too, just casually turns the amp up a bit for the solo and then goes full piano chime on the bridge pu
Jools Holland still.going.strong he's.given many a.artist.a chance to.express.their talent.on his.tv.show you.the.Daddy.jools
Genius at work.
Ace originality.
Brilliant. Thank you
heavenly.....
RIP to TV
o hellz yeah

Richard Lloyd rules
Great Stuff, anyone got the full show available?
The format is several different bands each week doing a couple of songs each, and these are Television's two.
@ 4:59 is that John Cale?
it is .

No, fella. That's Jools Holland, the host of the show and a musician in his own right.
@@surfwriter8461 No - I mean the guy at the piano right before Jools. The camera just panned past him.
@@dave225 Oh, I see. I can't tell from that quick and blurry pan, but it's possible that's John Cale. I could imagine he was a guest on that program at least once or twice, and maybe he was scheduled to perform on the same show with Television.
i saw television
Verlaine always worked it…
Does anybody know the name of the first song?
It is called "In World", from their third album.
@@william2603 thank you!
RIP Tom
1992❤😊
Good
Immense.
Rock on!
🖤RIP Tom.
Wow
Please don't list the sobg titles!😂
So sad
the guitar work is not difficult but they make it sound good.
Not difficult???! Yeah, sure, if you're a masterful guitarist who both invented the riffs and can execute like this with precision and power.
Nothing fancy but nothing fancy required. This isn't Yes, it's Television.😁📺
@@s0ld4u I was complimenting them.
@@surfwriter8461 plenty of examples..
