Television - If You Weren't Paying Attention



Television - Live Old Grey Whistle -1978


If You Weren't Paying Attention....

There have been a TON of links posted in our comments by the one and only Dave Sez. Since most of you probably don't pay attention or are to lazy to check, here are the links in a post for you.

Readers who love Television should hurry to get this one, upped in full and in FLAC (both for the first time) by the great Edge of TUBE:
http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/television-w-patti-smith-1975-04-17-new-york-city-ny-aud-flac-164576.html.

Another rare one recently upped (again for the first time and in FLAC) is http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/television-1977-05-26-manchester-uk-aud-flac-164575.html.

A third 1977 recording to surface for the first time is

All links live as of today - go get, you won't regret!

I know no-one's watching this space, but check out here for a very 
recent Television gig:

Television lossless post: go get !!!
I have now found a FLAC version of the ultra-rare I Need A New Adventure which is here:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/63yvhohhzaah/n/Television_-_I_Need_A_New_Adventure.zip.

Thanks to Hermesacat, whose youtube channel with much rare Television is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Bobjb999/videos?shelf_id=1&sort=dd&view=0. Hermesacat also writes: For those interested in old/rare Television/Tom V. articles, here's a link to a file I uploaded of scans of approx. 60 articles/interviews (most contain interview content):
http://www.4shared.com/zip/p6aGwLm6/Tom_Verlaine_Television_etc_Ar.html
I collected them between 1978 & 1990, & the articles date from '74 to '90.

The Wonder fan site has an excellent articles collection (mostly text files), but many of my articles aren't yet available there. I finally got around to digitizing mine & making them available to other fans to download. Also, here's a link to a file of scans of my copy of "The Night", a poetry book(let) by Tom Verlaine & Patti Smith, published 1976:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/eM4vfO6L/The_Night_Tom_Verlaine__Patti_.html.

Hermesacat also gives us a FLAC version of Television's 1975 classic Cleveland Piccadilly Inn gig here:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/miSmF9GO/Television_1975-07-25__Clevela.html,
and a FLAC version of the Poor Circulation demo boot (1973-75 with Richard Hell) here:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/TLfBIhTu/Poor_Circulation_-_Television.html.
4shared requires registration with an email address but does not sell on your address to spammers. The fullest version (3 CDs) and best quality (FLAC) available of the rare Television with Patti Smith 1975 gig here:

http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/television-w-patti-smith-1975-04-17-new-york-city-ny-aud-flac-164576.html,

  3. I'll use this blog post for the continuing list of links, so if you're a fanatic Television fan (and I am), bookmark this page and check back often! Today's dose:

    Those with good internet connections will not want to miss this rare 1984 performance by Tom Verlaine, kindly provided on DVD by the great kigonjiro:

    http://kigonjiro.com/2010/11/02/tom-verlaine-la-edad-de-oro/ - 16 links but they're filefactory.

    And you wouldn't want to miss Tom back with Patti Smith, an FM recording from 1996, with netkups here: http://100greatestbootlegs.blogspot.com/2014/01/flac-patti-smith-musikhalle-hamburg-aug.html
    and filefactory here: http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/patti-smith-1996-08-01-hamburg-de-fm-flac-129605.html

    Tom Verlaine would play on the 2005 live CD (Royal Festival Hall, London) accompanying the 30th anniversary re-release of Horses. He famously played on Patti Smith's first single on Mer records which vinyl junkies will want, ripped in FLAC or 320 including label scans: http://powerpopcriminals.blogspot.com/2012/02/patti-smith-hey-joe-version-1974-very.html
    The covers to the 1977 Sire Records re-release are here:

  4. I've just discovered that Tom Verlaine continued playing with Patti Smith on tour after the 2005 Horses gig; for a Italian radio broadcast of a 2008 gig together in Bologna @320, go see http://musicadegradata.blogspot.com/2012/08/patti-smith-live-in-bologna-2008.html and don't forget to thank Barrabovich.

  6. I forgot to mention that for those of you who prefer the vinyl sound, a lossless rip of Little Johnny Jewel is available at the great http://powerpopcriminals.blogspot.com/2012/04/television-little-johnny-jewel-1975.html.

  7. Exciting news down at Dave Sez Farm: at long last, a good few years after the last webposting died, a new post of the essential 1973 Neon Boys recordings of Verlaine, Hell and Ficca. The previous webposting was preserved and will soon be re-served here as a bonus with the 1974-75 Television demos, but this is a better rip, mostly 320, and with the full covers in high-def scan too. Go get, you won't regret and don't forget to thank Mr. Eliminator here:

    1. Hi,

      I grabbed your collection of cuttings from 4shared with a view to adding them to The Wonder - will give credit.

  8. Thanks, Mr Blur, and thanks for your site too - a valuable resource. Please however give credit for the articles to Hermesacat, who posted them and many of the above links in the comments to his youtube channel on Television. You may also wish to include links to the following comprehensive Television Live blog from Japan (where most of the Television bootleg CDs seem to come from): http://www.geocities.co.jp/MusicStar-Live/7354/television.htm; http://www.giginjapan.com/category/television/ has artwork from several of the Japanese bootlegs, complementing the artwork given here: http://www.bootlegzone.com/index.php?section=290&latest=0.

    My next post in the ongoing Television series here will be New York Stories, detailed here: http://www.bootlegzone.com/album.php?name=PVCD1007&section=290.

    1. OK, will do.

      Ah yes, I "know a man" in Japan, as they say ;)

      I have on the site details of every known live recording of Television, Verlaine and Lloyd known to exist. If I can help with anything...

  9. Thanks. Mr Blur - I'll get back to you if there are any unresolved questions. There's one recording I have that you don't seem to be aware of, a B- AUD that is posted here: http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90/tom-verlaine-live-at-karlsson-stockholm-24-march-1987-a-140225.html

  10. Luckily for us, the original producer of one of the earliest Television vinyl bootlegs to appear, "Arrow", has not only offered us his work but has kept the post alive over the last five years. The recording is from My Father's Place, Roslyn, LI, NY 20th March 1978, and was later reissued as first as a cassette and then as a CD under the title "The Blow-Up" - which however crucially omits the track "Poor Circulation", so go get the vinyl rip and thank reservatory here:

  13. The great reservatory, taper of the classic Arrow bootleg listed above, does it again with a post of studio demos for Verlaine's Flash Light album. Rare stuff indeed, and a great gift from the Easter Bunny!

    http://luckypsychichut.blogspot.com/2014/03/tom-verlaine-dave-bascombe-sessions-1986.html

    And by the by, the March 2014 gig listed above has some phenomenal guitarwork by the duet of Verlaine and Ripp ... whatya waiting for?

  14. An alternative version of the "Bascombe Sessions", "Vanity Fair", is available @224 from the BigOZine; it includes a live version of Marquee Moon not on the FLAC gift from reservatory, as well as artwork to go with either ...

    And, having listened to it all now, ANY version of these 1986 polished studio recordings is worth having ... whatya waiting for?

  21. As there's tits and goo gle censorship, I can permit myself some obscenities .. go get the f*cker!

    Vintage Television 1977 should be enough, a great recording even more, and top versions of classic tracks even more so ... I have waited nearly thirty years to hear this .. and morons don't care, just another track.

    The gold dust I have hoped for even since 1977 (and yes, I was alive and adult then)

    Is the web populated by morons or what?!!! Why doesn't any one answer? Because it's pearls before swine ...

    Can't say cheers any more ya dickheads .., go watch the latest wankers on youtube, you won't remember their name anyway, just some nameless music to groove to on your f*g i-pod (their-pod - who are you kidding, Mr Stereotype Man?). . Who's left to care about music or musicians? Ya arsehole, call yourself a music fan? Seriously fucked off at web morons, Dave Sez.

    ReplyDelete
  22. So was I mistaken? Have there been a pile of comments to thank our gracious host circle for bothering putting up this great stuff? Television 1977 great recording, I ask you,live Marquee Moon!

    Go suck, I aint wastin my time no more - you dont get this, you dont get no more. I'll share by email with our host but no-one more.

    Goodnight and goodbye, and fuck you all, morons, Dave Sez.

  23. This thread is dead. No other observers except me and him means no one cares. Your loss - we both think they're worth it, but no one else agrees.
