Television - Marquee Moon [pt.1] (Live in Brazil 23-10-05) (8/8) 

The perfection between the two guitars will never be matched. RIP Tom. Thank you

Over the last month or so I've listened to this tune maybe 50 times. Maybe more. It never gets boring and with each spin I pick up something I hadn't heard before. It's brilliant.

Marquee moon, IMO, belongs in the list of the top ten albums of all time.

Billy Ficca is an underrated genius.

Song starts at around 1:24 in case anyone's interested.

I saw Television play live in Manchester, England in 2004. They were on the bill with Patti Smith - Fantastic concert which is one of my Treasured Memories !!!

I saw them only once, Summer of 1976, their sound was aweful then. When the released their first album in 1978 or so, I couldn't beleive it was them playing compared to the show I saw in CBGBs in 1976, they made a tremendous progressn in just one year

Believe it or not the drummer in this band was also the drummer in a group called The Waitresses.("I know what boys like").

yes, Richard is an amazing guitarist. Read his bio - it's surprising - he knew Hendrix

Billy Ficca increíble como lleva esas canciones, maestro de la bateria

Lace sensors through a vintage AC30. Beautiful . One of my favourite sounds.

Awesome! Thanks for share this video live at Tim Festival in Brazil

This is one of those bands I've never quite figured out why I like them? There so badass!

i love how they just tune like that, not giving a fuck ahaha

O melhor RIFF de guitarra!!!

That's possibly the most interesting tune-up I've ever heard.

pure awesomeness

This is brilliant.

RIP Tom.

I think I remember these guys but never heard till now, like them, yea

Tom Verlaine 28/1/23. R.I.P.

very nice

i agree, his jazzmaster was his sound

I always wondered who played what parts

always feel for the bass player and drummer in television...tom and richard noodle around so much and instead of just ramming the song in....but what a band

This is a strong performance, definitely one of the best I've seen of Television live. But why does it cut off in the midst of Verlaine's extended solo? I wanted to hear the rest of it. Maybe guitar players can address something for me. Some of the solo Verlaine is playing reminds me of his extended solo in "1880 or So," on the Jools Holland program when Television performed, a version you can find on this site. It sure seems like some of the same or very similar licks. And I have been a fan of Verlaine's work, particularly quite a bit of his solo recording.

Brilliant.

richard gets in the pocket! love it and the whole band tom verlane is the original

this has a captian beefheart vibe to it

Yup, looks like it (assuming we consider the Marquee Moon lineup as the original)

Song starts at 1:24.

like!!

Feel like im shopping at the paranoid supermarket.i get in line and my wife calls and just as im leaving she needs afew more things.its ok i love going back in the suoer market

yes, that really IS his voice ... sounds great.

Is that a Clapton Signature Stratocaster with the built-in mid-boost Verlaine is playing?

It works though. Can i have a chance Chance?

Sandly, another underrated superband.

Did I add the z ?

perdi isso :(

So they did come to Brasil

It is sometimes, actually, always Top 100. Checkout Pitchfork's review.

Great example of them tuning to Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

Where can I see the rest of this?

Orgasmica e unica ,,!!! Den iparcune Pola loia 🎸🎼💉💊😵☀️🎸💉 ciao

1:24

My stuff for you was 80.......... xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is in a different key to the original.... The original was in D Mixolydian, this seems to be half a tone lower... C#? Still a rocking version though, as a guitarist this song is probably my favourite song to jam along with :)

one of RS top 100 albums

It's in mine anyways.

I'm pretty sure tuning pedals existed in 2005. ;)

@minooye Actually, considering that "Marquee Moon" was recorded live in a single take, I think it's just his age. There aren't many videos of him performing it from the 70's / 80's. Actually, I haven't seen a single one.

Morose bunch of blokes but what a Great,Great band they were.

I heard my voice was bad...👂👀👂

FUCKIN THE LATIN AND SAMBA!! BRAZIL REALY LOVES ROCK N ROLL!!!

I could never be a guitar player. Tuning would drive me nuts

Is this the original lineup?

is it just me or does Richard Look so unhappy being their

Singing of Tom Verlaine is between Bon Scott and Bruce Springsteen!!! Seriously I think I never heard someone singing so bad!!! And what a shame coz Marquee Moon is one of the most creative song written in the rock history!!!

Correct date..? Not 1995..?

They always look bored in their live performances.

NAw, not the same.

they don't look the happiest of players

To je strašný !! Neumět hrát a cpát se na podium...brrr...

Yeah, the voice is awful. Oh well. Interesting especially to see who plays what as there were no videos of this in their hey day. Seems Lloyd sticks closer to the original parts and Verlaine wanders more. Anyway, these guys don't have much of a recorded legacy relative to other great groups, but what is there is as good as any.

...getting depressed here?,lol, xxx.

This really isn't that hard to sing :/ Tom struggles a lot.

Todo lo que NO hay que hacer cuando tocas en vivo durante el primer minuto! SOMETHING what you NEVER... NEVER EVER SHOULD DO on a live performance for a big crowd. If you use different tunnings, use more than 1 guitar. In this case, they have more than one guitar, but, only for being stubborn, they don't do. Si tocas en vivo y usas afinaciones alternativas, usa mas de 1 guitarra, si estas tocando ante mucha gente y son 2 guitarristas, con mayor razón. Usen mas de 1 guitarra. Si no tienen, usen afinador de piso silencioso.

Could the drummer sing? I love this band and song, but Verlaine cannot sing.

Vocally, his intentional attempts to sound even more thin weedy and abstract tahn he does on the records seem to me influenced by what Bob Dylan does. I love it all anyway.

Great Band, bad vocal

Jesus, the voice is obnoxious.

Sobrevalorados
