Television

Television's live performance at Carnegie Music Hall on September 25, 2015, captures a unique moment in the band's storied career. By this time, their most recent album was “Adventure,” released in 1978, during which the band was in full swing, but after a long hiatus, they reunited in the early 2000s and began performing again, even releasing “Songs and Other Things” in 2015—a collection of live tracks and rare material. While during the 2015 concert, they played fan favorites from their earlier albums, it’s fascinating to note the profound impact of their early sound on the punk, post-punk, and rock genres that followed. The band’s intricate guitar interplay and Verlaine’s ethereal vocals still resonate with a fresh emotional depth, showing they hadn’t lost their touch. Interestingly, fans shouted for “Glory” during that very show, highlighting the enduring love for their classic tracks, showcasing just how deep Television’s roots run in the music scene, even after decades.
