Television at Central Park Summerstage
The last ever Television performance promised to be a great show until one of their guitarist Richard Lloyd got sick and had to be hospitalized a few days before their show at Summerstage. There is a lot of guitar wanking in their music and some of the songs jam on forever. Having the rival dueling guitar of Richard Lloyd would have been nice but the other guy filling in did a pretty good job. Some of the notes the other guitarist – and the singer – Tom Verlaine would hit sounded more like a string instrument than a guitar. Their last song, "Marquee Moon" was the best song they played and they played the entire ten minutes of it even though the stage manager was started making the cut sign across his neck about half way through. Apples in Stereo played with a bit more energy in their songs – granted it is power pop and they sing a lot about the sunshine. Too bad it was raining during most of their set.
