  • Cozy Concert with Great Sound

    4 out of 5 stars
    ZisdUZogzJanuary 3, 2026United States🇺🇸

    It seems like an awesome concert in a cozy spot. The stage might be on the petite side, but the sound is fantastic.

  • Intimate Concert with Great Sound

    4 out of 5 stars
    GuslAHasmDecember 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Great concert in a intimate setting. The stage might be smaller, but the sound is fantastic.

  • Awful Sound, Great Songs

    5 out of 5 stars
    FmaGizzjTepzNujuqmSeptember 16, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The label's not to blame, but the recording's sound is truly awful. Yet, I loved the songs and the performance. It's like a bootleg version of great tunes.

  • Live Peak, Audio Weak

    4 out of 5 stars
    kubqipeyicecJuly 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The audio is precisely what you'd anticipate from gigs taped by an enthusiast on a cassette. It's bootleg standard. Yet, it's the performances that truly shine. Television at their live peak, sounding far more punk than their polished studio tracks. It's electrifying. Guitars soar, experimental and daring. A must-have for band fans, less so for audio purists. In short, the pressing is decent - but don't expect to wow anyone with your high-end sound system.

  • Live Television Electric

    4 out of 5 stars
    hebzixawerugJuly 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The audio quality is just as you'd imagine from a fan's cassette recording. It's bootleg-tier, for sure. But who cares when the performances are this electric? Television at their live peak, way punker than their studio stuff. It's a blast. Guitars soaring, experimental, daring. A must-have for fans, though audiophiles might not be thrilled. The pressing is decent, but don't expect to wow anyone with your hi-fi setup.

About Television

Television, the iconic New York City band, emerged in the mid-1970s, playing a pivotal role in shaping the proto-punk and post-punk scenes. Known for their distinctive sound that blends art rock and new wave influences, Television's music is characterized by intricate guitar work, introspective lyrics, and a cool, detached aesthetic. Fronted by the enigmatic Tom Verlaine, the band's debut album "Marquee Moon" is a seminal work, celebrated for its atmospheric soundscapes and Verlaine's poetic lyrics. With a sound that remains influential, Television's music continues to captivate audiences, offering a timeless blend of raw energy and artistic sophistication.
