(TV) Eric Alterman reviews the OLD WALDORF disc



Today, on MSNBC.com, following a review of NO THANKS! (Rhino's new punk box),
Eric Alterman writes:

Anyway, while we're on the topic, Let me throw in a recommendation for the
recent release of Television: Live at the Old Waldorf, (San Francisco,
6/29/78). I picked it up after a number of readers recommended it, and it's
smokin'.

Recorded during Television's sole U.S. headlining tour, to promote Adventure
there's not one song (of the eight here) that isn't played with more urgency,
verve and intensity than on the two excellent studio albums, Marquee Moon and
Adventure

It closes with a seventeen minute "Marquee Moon" before launching into a
version of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction that should have shut up Devo before
they got started. It's only available on Rhino Homemade, and limited to 5,000
numbered copies, so it's a little pricey but if you appreciate Television, I
don't see how you can live without it.
