I did see lots of bands in those days (the late 70s), like the Sex Pistol's last show (at Winterland), and the B52s opening for Talking Heads (at UCDavis). That last may have been the best show that I ever saw, due to my age, the time, the place, the passion of the musicians... I have seen many great shows since, of course, and currently love watching my partner's band (Baby Seal Club) take songs from inspiration to exhilarating live performance. You can find them on the U-tube. Look for "Zeroes and Ones". They had the honor of opening for the B52s when they last played the local Odeon. Live music is what's up.ButchPansynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-30036845759040366932014-06-24T12:29:35.372-04:002014-06-24T12:29:35.372-04:00Yeah, but I must say that I found that a musical a...Yeah, but I must say that I found that a musical act called 'Television' tended to produce some deeply confusing radio (io-io) monologues...mikeyhttp://youknowtheblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-85099092927818430172014-06-24T12:12:29.923-04:002014-06-24T12:12:29.923-04:00Got to see the group (minus Lloyd) just recently h...Got to see the group (minus Lloyd) just recently here in the ATL. Couldn't believe they were touring. Never got to see them in the old days. TV's still a guitar god. Brief review here:<br /><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://wisdomofthewest.blogspot.com/2014/04/i-want-my-little-winghead.html</a><br /><br />Best line: "It's hard to describe Television's musical performance. Are they the 'jam band' of the punk set? Are they jazz musicians self-limited to a rock idiom?"<br /><br />Catch 'em if you can.Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02088100982761595050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-76049111032216916452014-06-24T09:37:17.042-04:002014-06-24T09:37:17.042-04:00Television fan reports Television pan of critics.
