Television

Television, the iconic band that emerged from New York’s vibrant punk scene, was in the midst of their early career stage when they performed the unreleased song "Kingdom Come" live on July 25, 1975, at The Piccadilly Inn in Cleveland. This performance came just before the release of their seminal debut album, *Marquee Moon*, which would later be released in February 1977. Interestingly, the live version of "Kingdom Come" featured in this recording is distinct from the song of the same name that Tom Verlaine would later unveil on his solo album. It showcases the band's innovative sound and penchant for experimentation—elements that would firmly establish them as pioneers in the alternative rock genre. The raw energy captured in this performance reflects Television’s early days, just as they were about to redefine the music landscape with their intricate guitar work and poetic lyrics, solidifying their legacy.
