Although I bought the records I didn't see Television live until 2005 when I watched Tom right up close. There was a lot of tuning up going on and a lot of the guitar work early on featured his cohort Richard Lloyd rather more than Tom. And then...there he was in full flight. It was almost as if he needed to warm up. There was new material on offer that night but sadly it has never seen the light of day. One gets the feeling that Tom would never ever be completely happy with anything. A man whose guitar playing was unique, angular yet emotional. We have lost a musical giant. RIP Tom Verlaine x
