(TV) The Palladium: 20 Questions / Opening for Peter Gabriel

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

Does the NY Stories cd-r contain the only existing  song of Television at 
the Palladium in NYC (Dec 31 1976, opened for Patti Smith/John Cale)?  
NY Stories contains only one Palladium song!

Anyone know of any other cd-rs/boots/recordings of any kind of the Palladium 
show?

Wasn't the Palladium the largest venue ( 2,500+[?] )Television ever played during 
1974-1978?  Or were the venues for the shows which they opened for Peter Gabriel 
in 1977 larger?

Also Just The Facts lists only a solitary show [no reflection on Keith that's all the 
info he had to work with] in which they opened for Gabriel---I thought from a 1978 
interviews  TV talked about the difficulties of facing hostile Gabriel audiences for 
several shows. One or more of the 'old-timers' on this List must have attended one 
of these Television/Gabriel shows?

Does The Palladium still exist?

exposure** as the band opened for Peter Gabriel during his American tour.."

TV: The band wasn't badly received," he comments on the Gabriel tour, 
"but being the opening act you're playing for somebody else's audience so they're 
bound not to be really into you. I like to play on big stages, though. I'd rather go out 
on a big stage than play a club where it's so cramped all the time. Basically, the tour 
was a no money thing just to go to those towns. We went over better - really, good in 
fact - in the mid-western towns like Kansas City, where people hadn't heard of us and 
didn't know what to expect."
