Oh, Emilie, we are two defenders of modern day Television!

Is it even possible to get in this discussion without taking side? If so, I would like to add that it’s really odd to call Television now as playing only their greatest hits. Of all the shows and bands that I see, they are the only band that never plays the same thing twice. 

As someone who finds most acoustic shows super boring, I am never bored by Television playing live. They would resolve well known songs in slightly different ways - and each time I would look at the song differently. The same lyrics take on different meaning depending on Tom decides to say them. It has become pretty hard for me not to get choked up when they do “Torn Curtain” - no matter how many times I’ve seen them live in the past ten years.

Richard, on the other hand, seems thrilled to be working, getting music
out there and doing a few small tours per year.


I'd also say that in all the TV shows I've seen since 1992 and most of the ones I've heard, Richard was doing the work, Tom was mostly just the 'Presence'.
We were there at their very first show back together at ATP at Camber Sands in 2001 and Richard, Fred and Billy were there and right on it and Tom was... somewhere else.
