As I write this, ...( 8 months ago by GolumTR)
As I write this, I've only experienced a few videos on YouTube. But from what I have heard, he seems to be an excellent blues player in the British pick-based blues style. He's even got that great Yardbirds/Honky Tonk tone when he plays slide.
He has a great rocking edge though, which I like. His middle solo in "Cradle Rock" was very entertaining.
I'd rather invest before forming my final opinion though. What album would you recommend?

My fav is TATTOO. Great songs. But if you want to get a taste of how great he was on guitar, try LIVE IN EUROPE. There is also an outstanding DVD called RORY GALLAGHER LIVE AT MONTREUX. My understanding is that he was invited to join the Stones when Mick Taylor left. That is a great "could have been." He would have added so much more to the band than Wood did. Much better guitarist, decent singer, and multi-instrumentalist. I saw him less than a year before he died. Huge talent.

I wish Tom Verlaine's vocals had aged as well as his playing,and also I wish the video would be the full 10 minutes...
I'm jealous of you,I'm only about an hour from NYC and I love Television.

Another reason is that if someone covered these guys people would be like,"Who the hell is that?!"

Did Tom do one of ...( 4 months ago by tomlyoldhappyderek1)
Did Tom do one of his signature 5-7 minute solos in this performance?
Actually he did it ...( 4 months ago by TheGreatGallbo)
Actually he did it for 8 minutes or so, maybe longer.. it was intense, a real shame the security guard caught me filming...
But, they were jamming and jamming, and the stage manager was pointing to his wrist watch and yelling "TOOOOMMM!" as to notify him that they were over the nosie ordinance time. Tom looked over his shoulder at the man, gave a nice little msirk, and continued playing for about another two minutes.
They didn't even finish with the last verse, but it was miind blowing

I think he just loses himself in the soloing.
And everything around him just blocks out.

the only true Van Nuys lies in the vast congestion of the valley, lol. Where in the valley do you hail?
And yes, Television is scary good a constant inspiration, I think I go through their catalog every week. Albeit a short catalog, but a worthy trip in any case.
