One of, if not my favorite live album. I actually prefer this to any of their studio albums.

Much prefer The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads for live material, and surely the studio output from '77-'80 blows it out of the water by nature of being one of the best four-album runs in the history of recorded music. Still, the album and accompanying movie are sweet journeys. Obligatory:

The movie is a masterpiece of masterpieces. The album as an album is just okay. The Name Of This Band is Talking Heads is better. But whatever, the FILM is literally a damn cinematic piece of Godliness.

Fantastic album, but I'll take "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads" over this one.

and you may ask yourself "is this album better than their studio recordings"
and you may find yourself
in a difficult position
in a difficult decision
and you may tell yourself "well
yeah it is"

well it was awful, but I was listening to that song so..

Pointless to just listen to.One of the best live bands during this era,the visual peformance is essential,Plus the album version omits some very good songs.
