Watch Geese pay tribute to Television’s Richard Lloyd with cover of ‘Ain’t That Nothin”

Geese honoured Television guitarist Richard Lloyd with a brief cover of ‘Ain’t That Nothin’’ during a Philadelphia show on Saturday, after Cameron Winter told the audience, “Rest in peace Richard Lloyd.” Lloyd, who died aged 75 after a battle with cancer, helped shape Television’s influential guitar sound, and the tribute reflects his continuing influence on younger musicians.

The performance followed Geese’s song ‘2122’ at the first of two nights at The Fillmore. The band kept the original’s upbeat instrumental feel, while Winter’s vocals gave their version a more brooding tone. Geese have previously covered Television’s ‘Marquee Moon’ and discussed comparisons between the bands; other tributes to Lloyd included messages from Johnny Marr and Lloyd Cole.
