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 . . .
