    cosmicdancer Doin' it to you in 3D! So Groovy that I dig me.

    Joe Perry and Brad Whitfield in Aerosmith and Angus and Malcolm in AC/DC. There are other choices that are more technically gifted, but those two tandems do it for me. They play so great with each other and off of each other. So, so good.

    I saw Lou close to twenty five times live beginning in 1978 through the end of his career. Quine is the one guitarist during that time that somehow made Lou work on guitar when they played live. Quine guitar playing had a snarly sound that Lou responded to and he played more lead guitar than he did with anybody else. Fernando Saunders kept everything together. Fantastic bass player with a unique sound.

    Check out the album, The Blue Mask, as it really gives you an idea of how the band sounded.

    Yeah, I realize they did more than one album total, but Live Like A Suicide is an EP and the twin guitar magic of Appetite is largely missing on UYI.

    I regret not seeing Television at CBGB when I had the opportunity to. I saw lots of bands there but did not get the band at the time. It was only when I started working at a summer camp in 1982 that I really listened to Marquee Moon and began to love the album.

    When they reunited in 1993, I braved a snowstorm to first see them at the Academy where I was right in front of the stage, my arms leaning on it. They were fantastic. Sounded better than the records. Here the thing. I was stunned to see how much of the playing Lloyd did compared to Verlaine. Verlaine would play one line solos while Lloyd did the majority of the solos. I had always thought Verlaine was the main guitar player.

    I saw the band many times with Lloyd and with Jimmy Ripp including the infamous performance in Central Park where Verlaine insisted on playing even though Lloyd was violently ill and could play the gig.. This led to Lloyd’s departure from the band. As much as I enjoy Ripp’s playing, and I saw him and Verlaine as a duo several times, there was a tension between Lloyd and Verlaine that was not there with Ripp.

    The last time I saw Television was in 2015 or 2016 at the Chapel in San Francisco which is a small club with a small stage. I was one foot in front of Verlaine who was sitting the entire time. Very mellow performance with the songs slowed down from the fierceness of the Lloyd performances.

    Funny thing I was at the airport a couple of days later flying back to NYC and I had a chance to talk with Ripp in The America Airlines lounge. He was a lovely guy. He lives in South America and you could tell he was friends with Verlaine. I think the comfort with Verlaine reflects in the sound of the band.

    Good point! Yes I realize that the always uneasy alliance between Slash and Izzy was much too short lived. And that by the time of the UYI sessions Izzy had checked out musically, mentally and even physically.

    Cool stories!

    I only saw them once, on the reunion tour at Bogart's in Cincinnati, OH.
    It was life affirming...:)
