This was indeed the final [known recorded] concert of Television until 1992. At the time, it was of course unknown if the band would perform or record again.

This includes one of the best live recordings of the classic song Marquee Moon ever. The band is on fire, and well captured.

Out of Print

This is great and whilst I thought we had it from when Tom passed early this year we don’t seem to have and it is worth checking as his forst sojourn into solo work

Famed for his trailblazing work as the singer and guitarist of the seminal New York punk band Television, Tom Verlaine also carved out an acclaimed and eclectic solo career. Born Thomas Miller in Wilmington, Delaware in 1949, Verlaine (who borrowed his name from the French symbolist poet) was trained as a classical pianist but gravitated toward rock music after an encounter with the Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown." In 1968, he and bassist Richard Meyers (later Richard Hell) moved to New York's Lower East Side, where they and drummer Billy Ficca formed the group the Neon Boys. After the addition of second guitarist Richard Lloyd, the band renamed itself Television. Beginning with their landmark 1975 debut single, "Little Johnny Jewel," Television became one of the most renowned groups on the burgeoning New York underground scene; though lumped together with the punk phenomenon, the band's complex songcraf powered by Verlaine's strangled vocals, oblique lyrics, and finely honed guitar work clearly set them apart from their peers. However, after only two albums, 1977's classic Marquee Moon and the disappointing 1978 follow-up, Adventure, Television disbanded, and Verlaine started a solo career.

He resurfaced in 1979 with a self-titled debut that featured the song "Kingdom Come," later covered by avowed fan David Bowie. 1981's dense Dreamtime earned significant acclaim, and even hit the U.S. album charts. Both 1982's diverse Words from the Front and 1984's Cover drew raves from the British press, spurring Verlaine to take up residency in London. After a three-year hiatus, he returned with Flash Light, regarded as one of his best solo efforts. Following 1990's The Wonder, Television briefly re-formed for a self-titled album and tour; the group again broke up, however, and in 1992 Verlaine issued his first instrumental LP, Warm and Cool. In 1994, he composed the score for the film Love and a .45. After that, Verlaine renewed his working relationship with Patti Smith (he played on her first two albums), playing shows and recording new material with her sporadically for the next decade. Also in the mid-'90s, sessions as producer for Jeff Buckley were scrapped (although the material was later issued as Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk) and Television continued to be an on-again, off-again live venture. It wasn't until 2006 that Verlaine finally released new solo material: Songs and Other Things and an instrumental follow-up to Warm and Cool, Around, for new label Thrill Jockey.

Tom Verlaine, influential guitarist and songwriter, died aged 73, January 28, 2023.

Clare Torrey - Heaven In The Sky - ONLY GOOD SONG

So we’ll start the day and the weekend with this really odd curio from Only Good Song. This is one of those artists that did a perfectly good job as backing singer and in commercial work, advertising and so on but didn’t make it on their own merits for some reason. There but for fortune go Kiki Dee and the like all the one hit wonders and back up singers Tin Pan Alley was full of them with really very good voices but as Only Good Song suggests here,  they made it no further:

Clare H. Torry is a British singer, well-known for improvising and performing the wordless vocals on the song "The Great Gig in the Sky" on Pink Floyd's 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon.

01. Intro- British Caledonian
02. Midnight Train
03. The Music Attracts Me
04. Love For Living (Backed By Man)
05. Carry On Singing My Song
06. Theme From Film 'Oce'
07. Heaven In The Sky
08. Love For Sale
09. I Always Seem To Wind Up Loving You
10. Love Is Like A Butterfly (from butterflies)
11. Warming And True
12. I Know What I Like Best
13. Knock Knock Who's There
14. Can't You Hear My Heartbeat
15. My Boyfriend's Back
16. One Way Street
17. Well Done
18. It's All Over

Clare Torrey - Only Good Song


It is worth checking out especially for Brits who wondered who sang the Theme music to Butterflies the TV comedy
