When This Party’s Over, It Will Start Again
Talking Heads on the Sunset Strip! A friend has a review copy of Jonathan Lethem’s forthcoming Fear of Music 33 1/3 book and asked me for a live set from the FoM era. This is one of the best I’ve heard — a pristine (slightly keyboard-heavy) soundboard recording of the band on their final tour as a four-piece in 1979. They were playing the long-gone, but quite wonderful-sounding Stardust Ballroom in Los Angeles — a former roller-skating rink, if I recall correctly. A few miles away, I was a nine-month old infant. You want this — it captures one of the greatest bands of all time at one of their many peaks as a live act! Heaven! Not enough? Here’s an hour-long Talking Heads live video from a few weeks before the Stardust show. Still not enough? Here’s a 1977 show at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, and a 1976 CBGBs set (along with two Television sets from the same night). Stay hungry!

I’m listening to this right now and it’s fantastic. Really high-quality recording, too. Crystal clear.
