TELEVISION
1977-1992
Television, formed in New York City in 1973, is an American rock music band. Although Television never achieved more than the tiniest cult audience in their American homeland, they achieved significant commercial success in Europe and today are widely regarded as one of the key founders of punk rock.
Television was a part of the early New York punk rock scene, contemporary with bands like the Patti Smith Group and the Ramones. In contrast to the Ramones' focus on minimalist amateurism, Television's music was much more technically proficient, defined by the dueling guitars of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. In retrospect, Television pointed beyond punk rock to new wave and post punk.
In 2001, they reformed, they played many gigs but recorded nothing. In 2007, Richard Lloyd was about to leave the band but could not play the last concerts because he was recovering from pneumonia. He was then replaced by Jimmy Rip and in December 2007, they were recording a new album with this new line-up.

Pouvez-vous nous expliquer comment un Richard Llyod mort peut jouer en concert ce mois-ci ? http://www.richardlloyd.com/news.htm
Effectivement, quelques recherches semblent indiquer qu'il n'est pas mort. Ma source (un journal papier très connu) n'était donc pas fiable. Désolé pour cette fausse information, j'ai donc corrigé le texte !

The Television link don't work, can you help me, please?

Hello,
I would love to download this file thru rapidshare and avoid Megaupload as it has completely messed up my registry and harddrive with infections and spyware.
Merce Beaucoup!

Eh b'en, j'arrive fort en retard; en passant pour les curieux, le lien de telechargement n'est pas mort. J'aime enormement le concepte de ce blog a nous donner une introduction aux groupes moins connus.
Moi, j'ai suivi une autre approche, celle de selectionner certains groupes qui me passionnent, dont Television, et de recueillir tous les liens encore actifs pour tous les bootlegs encore disponible.
Si, suite a cette introduction par Baistophe, Television vous tente encore, les liens vers une trentaine d'enregistrements rarissimes (y compris deux en studio)se trouvent indexe dans mon mega-post ici:

Tous mes mega-posts (a ce jour: Television, Magazine, Ultravox (avant Ure), Gang of Four et Faust) se trouvent ici:

Cheers et merci, Dave Sez.
