Dumbo Arts Festival. Tom Verlaine is the greatest guitarist in New York, yet hardly ever appears on a New York stage. Watching Verlaine perform—rarely proves less than revelatory. Tonight he appears with Television drummer Billy Ficca and the guitarist Patrick Derivaz.

Galapogos is the name of the club (in Brooklyn) not the song. That aside, I have seen Verlaine a number of times. Always inspiring, unique and totally enjoyable.

Very cool clip. Thank you so much for posting this - as a person living in the midwest, I can't readily see Tom Verlaine live, and these videos are the closest link I get. That being said, I think this song's actually some variation of "Wheel Broke" from Around. (Though Tom might've called it Galapogos here, and it's certainly an interesting title)

@zenarcher99 Oh, that's a shame. I'm glad Tom's been has been making appearances here and there with various musicians. I wish he'd put out more studio work though. :p
