Pretty sure the first Talking Heads album I ever listened to was a cassette copy of Stop Making Sense. Listened to it often enough that later first listens of all the studio versions left me very disoriented. So much energy in the live recordings. It was only way later that I realized that this was a filmed concert- I've since watched the footage god maybe hundreds of times. This to me is the quintessential live show. Energy, showmanship, musical chops, just enough absurdity. Hoo boy. My dad snuck into a Talking Heads concert circa this time, maybe a little before. Too late for me, alas.
