Music of the Day: Talking Heads Live
I've been a fan of the Talking Heads ever since my grandmother (!) took me to see "Stop Making Sense" at the Ogden back in the mid-'80s (I returned the favor by introducing her to The Police and Tears for Fears...hey, I was 14, what else can I say?). And even though I was about five years too young to really get on the Heads bandwagon, I've got most of their albums, as well as a lot of David Byrne to boot (and his blog is one of the best cultural observatories out there). A few years ago I picked up a 2-CD set of the Talking Heads' performances; one disc had performances from 1977-79, and the other--containing many of the same songs-- from 1980-81. It is great to listen to them back to back, and catch how some songs got better, and how some--in my opinion--were played with the ennui felt by a group that had played them a few too many times, and were experimenting a little, but not really as into the raw energy of the piece as they were the first time around.
In any case, it's a great compilation, and many of the performances are better than the studio versions. And my daughter, Sophie, can't get enough of "Who is it?". And she (and her sister) are, after all, the ultimate arbiters of popular music in our house, at the moment.Labels: music, talking heads
