FYI Adrian Belew on guitar got hired by Zappa for the Sheik Yerbouti tour, rehearsals starting summer 1977 learning about Frank's use of pedals and distortion, sustain and feedback. Then when the tour was up Adrian went to play for David Bowie for his "Heroes" tour and recording Lodger album in 1978. There Adrian met Brian Eno who introduced him to the Talking Heads and they added him to their tour lineup for 1980. Adrian is great. His solo album Lone Rhino is a special thing! From there Adrian and played with Fripp for King Crimson in one of their high periods. He's gone on to be super influential and personally, is such a nice, humble guy, one wonders how it's possible.

"Born Under Punches" from the same concert!

There’s so many great versions but for me the ultimate Talking Heads live experience has to be Stop Making Sense. This song also features on that concert. It’s them at their absolute peak.

Dude on guitar is great, Adrian Belew, used to play with Zappa.

The Talking Heads are the real deal. So unique and diverse. I still have several CASSETTES of their live shows.

Talking Heads "Burning Down The House!" Studio version.

YES! More Talking Heads! Their song "Burning Down The House" is one of their most famous songs; when my son was about 4 or 5, he used to ask me to "Play it again, Play it again", because he thought it was so funny. I used to think, he's not going to take my lighter and burn down the house, right? LOL! :)

The bassist Tina Weymouth has laid down some of the most ICONIC bass lines ever. ✌

One of the most driving, powerful concerts I've ever seen. The look of the video is so underground and surreal, representative of the time and the music. Pure genius.

I could listen to this several times a day and thrive on it. 😋

Pure Artistry!

Phish Halloween 96. They covered this entire album.

This album, Remain in Light, is an all time great and would be a phenomenal full album reaction.

On David Byrne's (Lead Singer/Write, Teez)"UTOPIA" special on HBO last year, he performed this song---IT WAS AN AWESOME CONCERT!! Got to see him do the show live at Monmouth University when he was on a small venue tour fine-tuning the show before the special.

I love so much music but Talking Heads are probably my favourite band. Hard to pin-point exactly why, but some musicians just connect with you at a deeper level than others. For me, the 'Remain In Light' album is the pinnacle of modern music. Sadly I was too young to ever see them live, but I've seen David Byrne on every solo tour of Europe he's done since the early 90s. If you're interested in checking out more Talking Heads, pretty much anything from Stop Making Sense catches them at their live best, while anything off Remain in Light is a perfect intro to their studio sound. Entire books could be written about their approach to music, blending elements of African and South American music into the Western pop / rock / punk vibes of their contemporaries to create a sound that went on to inspire so much of the music that followed. The first couple of albums have the more angular / spiky / stripped back sound of the New York punk scene in 77/78 (I wouldn't categorise them as a punk band - though I have heard others give them that label) but as time progressed - and partly, though not entirely, as a result of Brian Eno's influence - their sound became richer, fuller, warmer, denser.. whatever you want to call it. Just can't go wrong with Talking Heads.

that entire Remain in Light album is like that. listen to that album from front to end when baked sometime. trust me.

Real glad you did this one. I love the hell out of this song, check out the version on Stop Making Sense, it really rises to a new level. But yeah, this song takes you over like a Sufi trance.

We came, we saw, we shook our asses. Good evening.

A little surprised you forgot the previous Talking Heads you did. "Born Under Punches", live from Rome, this same tour, is not a forgettable piece of music. It has influenced countless artists. To this day I am riveted, slack jawed at that moment on that stage. It is incomparable!

Adrian Belew was on FZ "Yo mama" To hear this guitarist play simultaneously with Frank Zappa check out "City of tiny lights".

The album this song is from Remain In Light was a game changer it still does not sound like anything I have heard before or since.

How was this 41 years ago. How. Aliens. Especially Bernie Worrell and Adrian Belew. Who else has ever played like those two? Imagine going to a show on a Wednesday and the headliner does THIS.

great version of a great song. For my money, the Remain In Light album is the 'heads' best. funky as hell rhythms. what a band.

Some Joy Division, Bloc Party or Interpol would be greatly appreciated. ✌️

One of my all time favourite live performances by Talking Heads. Adrian Belew is so good in this.

"Houses In Motion" also by Talking Heads is another one worth your time.

You did born under punches from this show a few weeks ago

This whole show is insane.

⚡️

😃🔥🔥

What the guitar solo with your eyes open

Such a sic ass jam!!!!

Gotta do the Great Curve from this same show.

Did somebody ring?

My favorite Talking Head song by far ❤ So hypnotic and melodic ❤ Subscribed !!

You got the wrong version bro, you need the version from the Stop Making Sense cd

Not a good version, you gotta check out, Stop Making Sense

This version doesn't do the song justice. The Stop Making Sense version is so much better...
