The nervy art-punk of their debut is still present, but the grooves are getting deeper and the band is clearly enjoying itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Byrne's yelps and twitches lead the charge, yet it is the rhythm section that does the heavy lifting, with Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz laying down tight, springy foundations while Jerry Harrison adds sparkling keys and guitar. Found a Job bounces with quirky storytelling, The Big Country lands its wry suburban satire, and Psycho Killer bristles with the jittery tension that made it an early calling card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe show closes with Take Me to the River, their slinky reading of the Al Green song, which stretches out into a hypnotic, rolling groove and points toward where they would go next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone fascinated by how this band evolved from a CBGB fixture into something much bigger, this concert fills in a crucial chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439084380465,"sku":"603497818839","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_4887d59b-58f3-4c44-89a2-f4256742d34e.jpg?v=1794152047","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/talking-heads-live-on-tour-78-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
