I saw them a few weeks later in Berkeley, , same set list. I felt lucky then, and do now. Their later more popular stuff was a bunch of bloat compared to this razor sharp show.
It's just amazing how completely awful the keyboardist and the drummer are compared to how great David and Tina are. Every freaking song the drummer plays the same basic boring beat, luckily a straight beat works fine usually and they'd produce it better in studio, but that's no excuse, just replace him with a drum machine. Get rid of his awful fro, smile, and soulless cymbal hits. The keyboardist is very effeminate and looks like he thinks he's way better than he is. Not very good. Love Byrne, though.
Frantz drumming style was understated and he kept it simple, but his playing and technique were superb…. Best rhythm section of sun band I can think of…. As for Jerry,he was the man that slways had the perfect note….. Tslking heads were fucking amazing , I have every recording they ever made, and that includes Tom Tom club….. So fuck you pal
I was at this show--it was FANTASTIC! Thanks for uploading, although I wish the sound quality was better.
Esther, I was too.
I thought I recognized you!
The fact he can play the riff to Mind and sing too is unreal
I was at this show, right up front with my elbows on the stage, but I couldn't find me in this video. Thanks for posting, though!

When you could still see them in a place with a Dance Floor!
As the official Talking Heads, how do you get these recordings?

I agree, it's an unpopular opinion for some reason but I am a bigger fan of the "real" Talking Heads myself.
