Television - Marquee Moon Live Portland Oregon 1978

[ixchel]

Absolutely the Greatest Rock Band No One Ever Heard that's how Great Art works, sometimes. Tom Verlaine, a Guitar Messiah, to the Chosen Few who managed to pay attention.

Absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing!

An incomparable version of an incomparable song from an incomparable band. Rock Gods. It made me lose my senses.

That solo. Lordy it's like primal 1968 quicksilver meets Jerry stuff.

"Tonight the air has teeth. I wish I had another way to breathe." -- Tom Verlain sings "Breakin' in my Heart"

I love the guitar solo on this version, it's like he intentionally played something completely different from the recorded version.

I find that if I catch enough live versions of a tune by a particular band you'll eventually find a take that sucks canal water.

Not this one though.

Outstanding for all times ... R.I.P. Tom! Maybe Greg Sage was at this gig - and if he was, he will formed The Wipers?!

Billy and Tom cooking with gas about 10-11 minutes in!

[daveandmarycaughley]

Did they play this a half step lower live or is it the recording?

Blown out of the water by Blondie in the May 1977 tour of England, I'm afraid. Lest we forget, in the midst of retrospective Television fever. They were crap live.
