Title: Television - 'Live At The Old Waldorf' (Rhino Handmade)
Review: Here, we have yet another unreleased live Television CD, similar to their 'The Blow-Up' 2-CD (see my review). Both titles are from gigs from the band while out on tour in support of their 'Adventure' album. 'Live At The Old Waldorf' was recorded June 29, 1978. For some reason(s), I tend to like this disc a bit more - perhaps it's because it seems a bit more new wave-ish. However, I would still recommend both CD's for long-time serious fans. Tracks that certainly did it for me were "The Dream's Dream", "Foxhole", the awesome "Careful" and this CD's two well-played epics - the twelve-minute "Little Johnny Jewel" and the fourteen-minute (possibly Television's most cherish song) "Marquee Moon". Then to close the evening's festivities - Tom Verlaine and company does a decent cover of the Stone's "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Would make a nice gift for an aging fan of the new wave era.
Is the review positive or negative?
