Last time I saw Television live (last year) Richard Lloyd so outshined Tom in ability that it really makes me wonder why everyone thinks Tom is such a great guitar player. Richard was/is the guitar lead in TV... I could barely discern Tom's contribution.

I've never had the opportunity to see Tom Verlaine. I am really looking
forward to it. I love amazing guitar work. Everybody speaks of TV like
he's on another higher level. My personal favorite is Stevie Ray Vaugn.
There's that pesky "Ray" word , again.
