"...the lean late-'70s tracks on this essential live two-fer spit more tuneful steam than any of the new-wave newbies currently jacking their grooves" -- SPIN

The CD debut of their landmark 1982 live double album. Disc One spotlights the band's original quartet lineup, presenting all the 1977 and '79 material that comprised the LP release. Also included are nine additional performances, including tracks from the collectible, promo-only live disc Music Show. Disc Two represents the Heads' 10-person lineup assembled for the 1980-81 Remain In Light tour, adding seven tracks to complete the concert repertoire in its set-list order. Booklet includes rare photos and vintage reviews.  

Formed in New York in the mid-'70s by David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, and ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison, Talking Heads transcended their humble CBGB beginnings to become one of the most adventurous and influential bands of all time. Their visionary, polyrhythmic stew combined funk and punk with African beats, avant-garde minimalism, and pure pop. From their 1977 debut to their Brian Eno-produced classics to their 1988 swan song, Naked, Talking Heads consistently pushed creative boundaries while delivering smart radio hits like "Once In A Lifetime," "Burning Down The House," and "Wild Wild Life." In 2002 the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
