Television

In July 1978, during their last live performance at The Earth Tavern in Portland, Television was riding a wave of critical acclaim following the release of their groundbreaking debut album, *Marquee Moon*, which had come out just a year earlier. This album was highly influential, blending elements of punk rock and art rock, showcasing their signature intricate guitar work and poetic lyrics. By this time, the band's innovative sound was already shaping the music landscape, becoming a precursor to the alternative rock genre. Interestingly, *Marquee Moon* is often hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, making this performance not just a farewell in a city but a significant moment in rock history. Their live recording of “Glory” offers a glimpse into this vibrant era, capturing the raw energy and creative spirit that defined their early career. It’s a reminder that sometimes the end of one thing can spark the beginning of something extraordinary.
