@@ClevelandLiveMusic You should pin this track list to the top of the comment section. I'm not sure how to do this, but it comes up as highlighted comment by clevelandlivemusic.
Totally agree. What a tremendous musician, lyricist and singer Tom Verlaine is. His band, Television, helped CBGB become the birth of punk rock and his guitar solos were mainstays on all of Patti Smith's hit singles. Do yourself a favor and listen to his solo album Flash Light.
I'm 56 and I realized that since I discovered Tom Verlaine/TV around 1986 they are only known by musician and deep music fans. Even music press always pride their art and both guitarrist appear on guitar hero lists they are quite unpopular......at least here in Spain. Same in other countries???
Thanks for posting this. I was at this show and the venue is known for the best sound in Pittsburgh. Fantastic performance and damn near a religious experience live. R.I.P. Tom.
They always talk about the guitar interplay but Billy Ficca was the musical glue that held the masterpiece together. My all time favorite drummer. saw him in The Waitresses and Washington Squares too. Jazz roots .. he just plays with dynamics and the perfect parts.
Thank you for this. Great to see on this night! And in beloved Pittsburgh, whose radio exposed me and record store let me listen at will. Lovely to see his manner here. Love to Tom and all Tom lovers!
Just posted below this one with kudos for the band and especially Richard's playing. But wanted to add...regarding Richard Lloyd's guitar style, he gets profound "vibrato-tremolo" with his hand. He's so widely skilled. I'll see him and his own band this Saturday 5/7/22 at The Mohawk Club in Buffalo, New York (so proud of my nephew, Colin Pratt, who's opening with his Band "Nervous System"). -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
What a legacy, esp the one where I have never understood the timing of the first 2 songs! Also, I had the privilege of seeing Tom at the piano of the Omni hotel in Austin, TX, while he was hanging out with the Church, 1988.
I lost touch with them in the early 80's (now 56), for no reason I looked at my back Cat. How could I have forgotten them!!!??? Remarkable, listening non-stop at the mo.
I’m glad this show was recorded for posterity. Yes, television 📺 is a wonderful invention. Did you know they actually had Ballet, Opera and Classical music on TV in the early days? But you didn’t like high culture so now we have game shows instead.

@@ClevelandLiveMusic Yes but bands like Talking Heads were also "in between" until around 1982 and the upload to the mainstream. Maybe since then the "funky" side of TH and the passive actitude for the business of Verlaine is the difference...... It is a pity, he was more known in Europe with his solo albums since he was signed in UK by Virgin and Fontana than in US.
My goodness, the way Psychotic Reaction evolved into those gorgeous dripping chords at the end was pure magic. Rip and Verlaine have a different dynamic than Lloyd and Verlaine. I won't say which one I like better, but I like this one a lot. Verlaine seems more comfortable here.
I agree that Tom seems more comfortable with Rip. I've seen both lineup's live several times, plus Tom live with this band as 'Tom Verlaine' and Rip is the 'junior partner' whereas Richard Lloyd was clear a truly equal partner in his day sin TV.
@@youareneededtoo Mink DeVille's first album is one of the greatest records ever made in my opinion. Then some of Willy DeVille's solo albums are pretty fantastic as well. Check out Miracle or Backstreets of Desire. Amazing that he started out at CBGB's
I saw Television on Sept 6, 2016 in DC and I thought they sounded great. I saw Richard Lloyd and his band in Baltimore in June 2017 and they sounded great as well.
brill..brill...brill...saw them 20yrs apart...new York and glesga...always calamitous ...a delicate creature..Verlaines poetic nuances....half shot vocals....but I would nt have it any other way. and solo with Mr Ripp in tow sublime...always something to behold...'what time is it? yonkii time...what time did you say it was...yonkii time'...and for all you detractors...and I'm talking to you Mr lout...I'll hand you over to Tom...'I get your point ...you're so sharp'...'perhaps i should take out the garbage? well why not'....stay hungry y'all
Was this promoted as a Marquee Moon show? Second half is excellent..Verlaine is in a great mood. His solos on Marquee Moon and Johnny Jewel are stellar.
I’ve recently discovered Television (the 3 studio albums) and Tom Verlaine solo material, so far only the Cover cd by Tom. Very good music!! Any recommendations for other solo Tom albums, or live Television?
There’s a live album recorded in 78 called The Blow Up. Just listened to a little bit (have it on a cd but it’s been awhile) and it sounds good. They even do a couple covers and end with satisfaction. Pretty cool.
@@felipeleonardo9001 Deve ser porque o público está acostumado com bandas bonitinhas que querem agradar o público acima de tudo, não os que afinam instrumentos em cima do palco e parecem indiferentes, como o King Crimson, só que eles tem credibilidade e vão lá entregam um show maravilhoso. Essa foi a última vez que vieram, não é? Espero que essa experiência não o impeçam de voltar.
At the same time since he did switch tunings for a few tunes it might have been smart to have a second guitar in that tuning on a stand behind him. Just saying. But loved the mistake. It's nice to be reminded that your heroes are human from time to time. Still great, but human.
Right. This is who he was, you couldn’t go expecting him to be someone else. His perfectionism is famous and that includes his exact tuning. To me it’s part of the show.
just wish Television were good live. Seen them at the Apollo in Glasgow in 78/79 and it was painfully dull ... and yet sometimes they can sound like the greatest band ever
The Stones were great with Brian Jones but they created their very best music after he was gone. Like someone else said it would be like the Stones without Keith Richards.
Television are a "musician's band"...so innovative and technically proficient...Little Feat are in this rarified ilk. Notice how Richard Lloyd uses all four fingers of his right hand? -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia USA
Man, Elevation was great here, and Billy Ficca remains one of the greatest living drummers -- but the whole thing just lacked energy in other songs; See No Evil suffered particularly badly.
Agreed, they need to play it a little faster with more punch. The songs towards the second half sounded better, as if they needed to warm up before getting into a groove.
I really wish this band wasn't as terrible as they are. Marquee Moon is one of my all time favorite albums and hearing that lifeless and clam ridden rendition of See No Evil just about put me on the brink of suicide.
I've seen Television maybe 5 times since the "first" reunion (1992?) and Verlaine has phoned in his performance on "See No Evil" EVERY time. Without fail.
“Under rated” by who? You Tube comments are loaded with under rated this, under rated that, like the person writing it is the only person on the planet who REALLY, really, appreciates the band. Or else it’s some one who was right in front feeling Verlaine’s sweat dripping down, just after changing his strings for him. As if...it’s hilarious. We. Don’t. Care.
@@ClevelandLiveMusic This has damn good audio given it's an audience recording, all the instruments are clear, balanced, with very little distortion, and also with high ceiling acoustics. We are very lucky to have this document. The playing on the 2017 tour I recall as being intenser than here but cannot find the show I saw, and of course memory is magician. But the obvious is all too true: it is tragic the band never reached the fame and popularity of other CBGBs bands like Blondie or Talking Heads when in fact they surpassed them, or, had a three-way tie with Johnny's Heartbreakers and of course The Ramones: and all three of these very different bands "should have" in a world honoring depth and feeling surpassed the FM shit-piles of the same era, like Foreigner, Journey, Toto, Kansas: Holy Orpheus what was so wrong with the industry as to NOT SEE that Television, The Heartbreakers, The Ramones were vastly superior to the bland-fiers getting airplay and selling out LA's Forum or NY's MSG?!
Well hellhounds all over: Better try to listen to the cRAmPs "Psychotic Reaction" in getting to know what real R&R is ... and should BE!! This here - sorry - kinda stinks a bit; even we all know, Tom is not Lux. So simply & short: The only real TV-deal is their first longplayer, what indeed is a legend for its own ... FOREVER!

Thank you so much
Could you add markers to the encore songs?
Thanks in advance ;-)
The first song is Venus not See No Evil, right?
He's gone. I am so sad. There will never be someone playing the guitar like him again.💔
RIP Tom.
This is awesome!
I am so glad I saw them twice. Had tickets for 1992, but work sent me to Germany
tom is most likely the most underrated guitar player ever. An influence to many great musicians all over the globe. Thx for this video.
Either him or Alex Chilton
Well he’s pretty rated if you’re old enough and read the trades.
Lloyd wrote most the amazing solos in that band

always great to see a show you were in attendance
What a great show, thanks for posting! RIP Tom Verlaine, wish I had the chance to see him live.
Thank you....will.remain one my favorite shows ever
nobody else plays like Billy Fica. What an original
They always talk about the guitar interplay but Billy Ficca was the musical glue that held the masterpiece together. My all time favorite drummer. saw him in The Waitresses and Washington Squares too. Jazz roots .. he just plays with dynamics and the perfect parts.
rip Tom. saw this one on a cold moonshaped evening last year... was fascinated by Verlaine's freshness. one of the greats.
jimmy Rip seems to be looking after Tom, which is beautiful. Thanks to uploader.
Glad you enjoyed...such beautiful music
Marquee Moon and Adventure, two of the best albums ever. Tom Verlaines first solo album is also very good.
Thank you for this piece of nostalgia. Excellente.
FICA’s was a tremendously influential drummer but very unsung!
Ficca 😉
@@enstex7799
Ficca off Einstein😂
Nobody likes a smartass.
That is a great recording and a heavenly performance. Thanks a lot. It's so heartwarming to see Tom happy to play.

Richard Lloyd does not appear in this video. The gent with the beard is Jimmy Ripp.
My favorite band... Thanks for posting...
bless your soul whoever recorded this.♥
that would be me...
Decades waiting for "Torn Curtain" played live!!!!
What a legacy, esp the one where I have never understood the timing of the first 2 songs! Also, I had the privilege of seeing Tom at the piano of the Omni hotel in Austin, TX, while he was hanging out with the Church, 1988.
Wow...that must have been incredible
Grazie per questo video. Mi sono commosso. Giganti del rock!
Guess that I was lucky to see the original reformed line up with Richard Lloyd in Ireland in the early 2000s. Still good to hear the tunes though.

This is the best guitar music I've heard in many years... no one can play like this
Thanks for this video!
Thank you very much, this is a nostalgic band. I'm from Brazil and Television has made head of many people around here
Richard Lloyd is amazing, also very underrated!
That's not Richard Lloyd in this video. It's Jimmy Ripp from Tom's solo band, who took Richard's place when he left the band.

I believe punks dismissed the band because of their musical prowess. The mainstream crowd had trouble with the vocals being too punk.

Excellent. Great to see Marquee played live again ....ah !
Loved this show so much
Thanks for posting this!
I was lucky to see them twice. At the Palladium in '77 at Patti's birthday bash
Do they even make music like this anymore?? So good..
Hopefully one day
Yes, when they played in Detroit in 2019 they did!
(But I do know what you mean)
King Gizzard?

Rip is trained playing with Tom solo gigs in the 80s ;-)
Tom's unique playing is very evident on his solo.albums
I like the way TV has his delay pedal before the overdrive. I use to play like that before I knew the difference.
Torn Curtain is the song from other planet.
Fantastici !
Imo, Television is the greatest "unknown" band of all time and "Little Johnny Jewel" is a top 100 song in rock n roll history.
If there's a heaven I hope it sounds like Tom's guitar.
massive....SUCH a great and important band.....
I love this band
@@ClevelandLiveMusic me too, my friend. Double guitar brilliance that definitely rivals Crimson....in some ways, much more tasteful and "organic"....
It is not the old Television with all the members but there is still a lot to enjoy. I am very grateful that this has been posted.
3 out of 4
All the CB's bands were totally unique! Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, & Television. Nothing musically in common. So cool!
Yes - and Patti Smith Group :)
@@youareneededtoo And don't forget Mink deVille

One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Personally thought that "Torn Curtain" stole the show on this one.
It always does, along with Friction
Que maravilha!!!!! Nem sabia que eles ainda tocavam
Brilliant!
Lighting struck its.self how cool.is.that
How is it possible I missed this? Cruel, heartless world!
1977 ..... long time ago
True Guitarist Verlaine :D

+Ray F ...thew show was Promoted as a Televison concert....it was great!
I think the first half sounds pretty darn good too!
It was an incredible show to see and video
thanx so much for filming this show!!!
È il mio disco preferito, marquee moon, ok, sarò di parte, ma qui 40 anni dopo sono spettacolari
was at that show. beautiful close to the Count Five tune
I’ve recently discovered Television (the 3 studio albums) and Tom Verlaine solo material, so far only the Cover cd by Tom. Very good music!! Any recommendations for other solo Tom albums, or live Television?
His eponymous 1st album,Flash light, and the AMAZING instrumental 'Warm and Cool' are all fantastic!
Dreamtime(1981) and the "cold" Words from the Front (1982).
Words from the Front is great
There’s a live album recorded in 78 called The Blow Up. Just listened to a little bit (have it on a cd but it’s been awhile) and it sounds good. They even do a couple covers and end with satisfaction. Pretty cool.
Shame there isn't a better recording of the audio. But great to see nonetheless
Tom waits playing the telecaster with Richard Lloyd riffs! Talented fucker!
Fine, exceptional concert, but still miss badly the charisma and chord inventiveness of Richard Lloyd
The effects Verlaine has - is that a Boss tuner and an EQ?
This is Jimmy Rip on guitar. Why is it so hard to find Television clips with Richard Lloyd?
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️❤️❤️🌎🌎🦌🐓🍓🤪
Who was the cat on the right with the guitar?
Great show.....
Nice
See No Evil is now a slow samba?
Venham pro Brasil!!!!!

58:32 that tone tho
the vocals are off but they sound great instrumentally. can't blame him for singing those songs while playing those riffs though.
I think The Cars may have drawn a bit of inspiration from Friction for Candy-O. At least...
Billy Ficca greatest !
Torn curtain da brividi
No Lloyd no T.V. even with T.V.😋
wow. Someone actually complained because they had to listen to him tune his guitar here or there. So very very TH-cam.
At the same time since he did switch tunings for a few tunes it might have been smart to have a second guitar in that tuning on a stand behind him. Just saying. But loved the mistake. It's nice to be reminded that your heroes are human from time to time. Still great, but human.
....this is often how Television started their gigs....and I love it
Real professional musicians tune their instruments before they go out on stage.
These guys are HACKS and always have been.
Right. This is who he was, you couldn’t go expecting him to be someone else. His perfectionism is famous and that includes his exact tuning. To me it’s part of the show.
No Richard Lloyd, then it’s not television
have they ever played ever since this??
th-cam.com/video/SxndRfzBDEU/w-d-xo.html
Yes, in 2017 and I recall that show being far more intense than this one, at least in Los Angeles.
Brian Jones didn’t play a single note on The Stones best album, Exile on Main Street. Go figure.
just wish Television were good live. Seen them at the Apollo in Glasgow in 78/79 and it was painfully dull ... and yet sometimes they can sound like the greatest band ever
How can you call it dull when the music is this great? The music is the point to me.
Television without Richard Lloyd is like the Stones without Brian Jones its just not.......
Better than nothing
Rubbish. Verlaine is worth seeing on his own, the rest is icing on the cake.
More like the Stones without Keith
@@susanklein7448 true Susan. I have seen them in Dublin with and without Richard Lloyd. So much better with him there.

Man, Elevation was great here, and Billy Ficca remains one of the greatest living drummers -- but the whole thing just lacked energy in other songs; See No Evil suffered particularly badly.
Agreed, they need to play it a little faster with more punch. The songs towards the second half sounded better, as if they needed to warm up before getting into a groove.
Friction !!!
I adored the man and not to rain on anyone's parade but .... his vocals don't sound so great.....sorry
His vocals never sounded great. Not really the point.
Too much!!!!!!!
Tragically flaccid.
I really wish this band wasn't as terrible as they are. Marquee Moon is one of my all time favorite albums and hearing that lifeless and clam ridden rendition of See No Evil just about put me on the brink of suicide.
forget about the clams , thers a lot to love on this
Jeepers no one ever died from a clam or two
You realise the band is in their late 60's here? Regardless, I think they're doing a phenomenal job...excellent gig.
