This might be the only situation where my favorite album by a certain band is a live one. Incredible stuff, great renditions of classic songs.

This is probably my favourite Talking Heads album or Fear Of Music or Remain In Light

...

Or More Songs About Buildings And Food

Anyway, best live album ever, incredible!

SMS was such a strong live album that these versions in many cases are the definitive versions of some of their best songs. Once in a Lifetime and Psycho Killer are excellent here,
