Nice sounding broadcast from the Remain In Light tour. The band was experimenting with Afrobeat, West African Polyrhythms, North African Arabic Music, and Disco Funk at this time. The complex songs required an augmented line-up to perform them live. Initially there was only to be 2 shows from this nine person line-up. One at Heatwave Festival August 23, 1980 in Canada in front of 70,000 people. The other at Wollman Rink in New York City's Central Park August 27, 1980. The response to these show prompted Sire to fund an extended tour.

  1. Thanks for all your work and the amazing music.

    Could you please check the link? The linked zip file (as of Oct 18 2021) is "jdthwoscs9052m.zip", which appears to be the file for a different post, "Talking Heads - Westwood One Superstar Concert Series Show #90-52 (Pre-FM)".

    Thanks!

  4. It may be unpolite to comment twice on the same offer :) but for those who care, this can easily be burned on a single CDr. No need for a double CD.

    And by the way, all my best wishes for a peaceful and healthy year 2026 !

    Derek from Paris,

    1. I don't think it's bad manners at all. I think You are just expressing an opinion and helping others who may be on the fence about the download. Wishes for a great year for you Derek. JustDave from Detroit
