Television

Television was riding high on the wave of their iconic debut album, "Marquee Moon," when they played live at The Piccadilly Inn in Cleveland on July 25, 1975. This was a pivotal time for the band, as they were just beginning to gain recognition in the burgeoning punk scene. "Breakin' In My Heart," the song featured in the live recording, never officially graced a Television album, which adds a layer of intrigue to its legacy. Interestingly, it later popped up on Tom Verlaine's solo debut in 1979, showcasing his lyrical depth and musicality. At this stage in their career, Television was still carving out their unique sound—melding art-rock with punk sensibilities—making each live performance a noteworthy experience, capturing the raw energy and artistic ambition that fans adore. Plus, the venue itself was a cozy spot, perfect for the intimate, immersive vibe that Television thrived on during these early days.
