His career-long pursuit of the perfect, effect-free guitar tone set him apart from his peers right off the bat; combine that with his vaunted vibrato technique, self-taught, free jazz-influenced sensibility, and the slow burn and build architecture of his solos, and there really is no mistaking his fretwork for anybody else’s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVerlaine’s singular instrumental and songwriting prowess certainly came through on his studio recordings, both with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTelevision\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and solo. But it was in live settings that his improvisational genius really shined. Fortunately for us, it turns out, as one might expect from an artist whose interests ranged widely from literature and modern art to music, that Tom was something of a collector. Therefore, we at Real Gone Music are truly thrilled to present the first of what we hope will be a series of release from his extensive archives: a double-LP collection of COMPLETELY UNRELEASED live performances drawn from four different New York shows spanning the years of 1996 to 2006.
