Television

In June 1978, when Television performed at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, NY, they were riding the wave of their pivotal debut album, *Marquee Moon*, which had been released just a couple of months earlier in February. That album not only showcased their unique blend of punk rock and art rock but also laid the groundwork for their innovative sound that would go on to influence countless bands. It features classic tracks like "See No Evil" and "Venus," both of which were included in their live set that night. Interestingly, this concert captures a moment when the band was still relatively unknown, yet they were shaping the sound of the burgeoning New York punk scene. It’s fascinating to think they would soon become synonymous with NYC’s vibrant music landscape. Their performance brims with youthful energy and a raw edge that makes you feel like you’re witnessing history in the making. Who knew a night in a small venue could mark a chapter in rock history?
