@@karenstinnett I once showed Sepultura how to return plastic beer glasses in Munich at a Mr. Bungle concert. They were very pretty appreciative of this gesture...
If you have not heard their Old Waldorf show (June ‘78) …it’s what the good old days were made of. I was there in ‘92 (I think it was) seeing them on North Clark in Chicago. I’ll remember to my grave them playing every note of Marquis Moon…all ten minutes. After the show on stage, Tom fixed his gaze on me and it felt like we were the only two people in the room. I felt that I reminded him of someone (6’4”, fit and in the reserves).
They trade off much of the time, but here it does seem like Lloyd is taking more of the lead role. But listen to the live performance of "1880 or So" recorded on a Jools Holland show, and you'll see Verlaine taking the much longer and more inventive solo in that song. It's a powerful performance where we can see the distinct qualities of each guitar player. Lloyd is great, but I find some of his solo work on the Strat to be kind of tinny, high-pitched sound whether hitting notes or hard strumming chords.
I don't think these fellas see a fretboard in the same way many of us see a fretboard. They turn it into something that's just bewitching in the places it can take you. Not to slight Billy and Freddie --- they are too good to tell them so. They know.
LET US NOT BLAME THE BAND CALLED TELEVISION FOR THE TRAGIC DEMISE OF GUITAR GENIUS TOM VERLAINE It's too late to take a train to a place that rhymes with train to watch the band Television play “Venus” with Rip, Ficca & Tom Verlaine. Is it too late to take my new jet plane to hear the guitar band named Television play “Venus” with Billy Ficca & the late Tom Verlaine?
I was there. Next to me were the musicians from Wilco, all watching Tom with tears in their eyes.
Thank you for reporting that. All these little gems

Lloyd's guitar solos in "Mr. Lee" and "1880" are masterpieces, and ranks among the likes of only a very few.
melhor banda . ETERNO TELEVISION
RIP Tom Verlaine
Can't love this enough!!! Richard on fire!!!!!
My guitar hero.Robert Quine too
Saw them from outside the fence in Las Vegas at punk fest. I waved at Tom and he smiled
Of the countless bands and performers I've seen over all these years this is my main regret...never getting to watch them in person.

Same here! I feel like I have seen it all, but seeing Television never lined up for me.
I'm so happy to find this, it is such a good recording of Television playing their peculiarly beautiful music.
A fantastic performance by a fantastic band!
Venus is such a classic. Some kinda magic in that song! I just know it
Amazing how much Lloyd was really the lead player.
Both were interchangeably and seemlessly . It was sort of like Jimmy Hendrix playing with Jerry Garcia. Nothing else like them before or since.

I first listened to Television in the early 80's then forgot about them! I'm currently in a renaissance, what a remarkable group!
Magical.....goodbye Tom.

Aww... this is gonna make me weep. I just know it.
It occurred to me on s Smokey Shabbat how the video could be AI… Who knows? Who cares? Good work AI, You did a great job.
Richard killin it....
Lloyd is my guitar hero

What was it about Brazil that seemed to have brought out the best in Television , performance wise ?

Imagine if Friction didnt exist, The Strokes wouldnt have a song to base their entire discography on.
