The times I've seen Television live, Richard's playing in Mr Lee has 
been the guitar high point of the evening for me, whatever else they 
did.

From the London Times review of the Shepherd's Bush Empire gig in 2001:

"When the din subsided the band slipped briskly into In World, from 
their eponymous 1992 album. And then, about two minutes into the tune, 
Richard Lloyd began a guitar solo of such poise, elegance and dexterity 
it was jaw-dropping. This from the man casual listeners had assumed was 
the groupbs rhythm player.

What followed was not only a trot through the greatest hits of 
Televisionbs - admittedly slim - back-catalogue but also a masterclass 
in the art of the electric guitar. The bandbs unique intensity lies in 
the interplay between the two guitarists. Tom Verlaine, who is still 
stick-thin and sporting a thrift-shop haircut, combines dive-bombing 
runs with raga-like scales. Lloyd is a master of tension and release.

"Eric Clapton," someone shouted at him after one searing blast, which 
frankly is a slur on Lloydbs inventiveness. "
