Television - Live '75 - Hard On Love, rare (unreleased) song

[@MarieProvost77]

Now, this is the TV I know & love. Nice find - would have been amazing to be there - I was in NYC briefly in '75, saw the Stilettos (pre-Blondie Debbie Harry, with Ivan Kral) but, alas, never walked into a TV show...

Thank you posting all these rarities...

[@chemistryset1]

this track is soooo good, there's so much good pre-Marquee Moon stuff that was never captured in the studio, shame ...

@robert101455 Offhand, I can't think of any Tom solo songs that sound derived from this, although some early songs did get reworked later. For instance, "Excitement" was an early song Tom & Hell co-wrote, with Hell writing lyrics & singing. After Hell left, Tom used the music for a new song, "Adventure". I once uploaded a '74 recording of "Excitement". It lasted a few months before "Richard Meyers"(Hell's real name) lodged a copyright infringement claim against it, & spiked it. Bloody Hell!

Didn't Verlaine rework this into another song for one of his solo albums? I've never heard "Hard On Love," but this definitely sounds very familiar.

[@PoserExposer]

this the same gig that the live recordings of opening band Rocket from the tombs stem from?

[@haupper]

Yes. Great sound quality for its time and place.

I have listened to Television on the radio, and the act of doing so is not to be confused with the Negro Neo-Minstrel act with that "Cookie Mountain" song or what-have-you. Good Day.
