AQUARIUM DRUNKARD _ VIDEODROME : Talking Heads Live in Rome 1980
Talking Heads :: Live In Rome, 1980
Stop Making Sense may have the Big Suit, but if you’re looking for the pinnacle of live Talking Heads footage, I’d point you in the direction of this unbelievable show from Rome, 1980. Completing the Heads’ journey from minimalist to maximalist, it features the expanded, ten-piece lineup blazing through tunes from the just-released masterwork Remain In Light, as well as dynamically re-inventing choice selections from the back catalogue. They still sound like the band of the future more than 30 years later, with careening polyrhythms, interstellar Adrian Belew guitar-work, and P-Funk grooves courtesy of Bernie Worrell. Once in a lifetime, indeed. words/ t wilcox
Post something once, why post it again!? Why not . . . . it’s worth it!
We have had this before I think (check links - 2012 to be fair!!) and then again T Wilcox is right it is really worth revisiting . . . . .you know it makes sense . . . . or stops?!
