Television

Television was at a pivotal moment in their career when they performed "Little Johnny Jewel" live in January 1978. This performance came just after they released their critically acclaimed debut album *Marquee Moon* in 1977, which solidified their place in the punk and art rock scenes. Known for their intricate guitar work and poetic lyrics, the band was still riding the wave of their early success. Interestingly, "Little Johnny Jewel," though initially a single, showcased their innovative sound and became a staple in their live performances, reflecting their unique blend of melody and complexity. The energy and rawness of this live recording capture the band's essence during a time when they were beginning to carve their identity in the music world. As they evolved, this recording exemplifies how Television played a key role in shaping the sound of the late '70s and beyond, setting the stage for future projects like *Adventure*, released in 1978.
