TALKING HEADS - Amsterdam 1980 - Albums That Should Exist

Paul says:

"Here's a really rocking concert from the Talking Heads. Great sound quality, great set list, great performance. It's an unreleased bootleg, but you'd never know, because it's in great shape, with no flaws.

In 1982, the Talking Heads officially released the live album "The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads." It's a double album, put together from concerts in 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1980. But I much prefer hearing entire concerts like this one. Even a later expanded edition of that album has more songs from 1980, but from three different concerts.

The Talking Heads really expanded their sound in 1980. In their early years, they toured as just a four-person band. But on their 1980 tour, they added six backing musicians, including guitarist Robert Fripp, to promote their classic album "Remain in Light." I don't have much more to say, except his should make you want to get up and dance."

This concert is an hour and 26 minutes long.
