Talking Heads - Entermedia Theatre, New York, NY 8-10-78

[@mikestander2413]

Nobody ever seems to mention Chris on the drums but he was a huge part of the Talking Heads sound. Always solid as a rock. He wasn't a fancy player but he was all about the groove.

[@jeffblack5024]

Why, him and Tina are so tight, it almost like they are married.

[@verncox9689]

They are married

[@HungryH1951]

@@jeffblack5024 They are the rhythm section. They just go together. What would TH have been without them.

Incredible stuff! You folks that post stuff like this are the main reason the Internet is great!

yes. even though the op is a douche.

[@TheChefmike66]

Tina Weymouth is a very underappreciated musical force.

[@seanc6042]

no she's not. actually at this stage i'm starting to think she's over-rated. one thing that is for sure is that the "he/she is under-rated" comment is THE most over-rated comment on youtube

[@encyclopediamusiquarium9040]

I wasn't sure anyone would know.Sooo much a legendary musician in my Cadillac!!! You can hear the passion in the music, she means it...much love always ..

[@outsidethepyramid]

@@seanc6042 He's basically encouraging her because he really knows she's under average, it's a bit cringe really. Also, because she is female she is getting extra encouragement from the SIMPs, that any other guy would NOT get. Of course she hears these guys saying how good she is and starts demanding, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is what's wrong with the world and it makes me want to puke. You can say that a high percentage of Talking Heads fans are these types of SIMP guys

[@jeremiahjohnson-zn5hb]

​@@seanc6042 lol, I also hate the my (insert family member who died) and this was their favourite

[@IwshIcldstrtover]

I love this band because they perform with such perfection they sound as good onstage as they do in the studio--even better!

[@KarlJordan]

I was there, I was 21. Stands out as one of the most memorable concerts I was ever at, up there with Thin Lizzie at Dalymount Park!

[@Tobbedans]

So you have not been at many good concerts, not a problem.

[@Tobbedans]

@SLANDERBOB I was talking (heads) to Karl... :)

[@duraosunda]

Not to mention Genival Lacerda at Cu do Mundo´s Jurassic Park!!

I was in a band with Chris Franz younger brother a year before this show. I saw these guys when they were nobodies. I loved every note they played. Amazing band.

[@HungryH1951]

This is some great early Talking Heads footage. Thanks for posting!!

[@jeffblack5024]

This band played my home town in 1978. I fell in love and they changed my life. Apart from that, Tina is badass.

[@billwilson1071]

Unbelievable audio and video production,..superb!

[@sluggobeast]

I was also at this show...interviewed 27 seconds in talking about them making everyone think. One of the best of the many concerts I saw them do, probably about 20.

[@tdeppa]

The sound and footage is amazing. Greatly appreciate whoever posted this. Very tight snappy performance.

[@colonelangus3157]

This is amazing footage☺

Thanks for this. (Damn that television, what a bad picture.)

[@beaware6487]

What the Doors were to the previous decade in America, Talking Heads were to the 70's transition to the 80's for American music.

[@maureenwassermann767]

When they were at their best. In 1977, I dragged a small crew of fellow SUNY-Binghamton freshmen to "The Other Place", a very quaint club in Vestal, NY to see the TH. The band only had one record under their belt at the time. The joint held 50, or so, people from what I remember. We still talk about the show 40+ years later. They came back to campus after the second album was released and played our "Social Room", another rather small venue. Those were the days.

[@marcos.666]

This is the good thing, thanks.

[@losttango]

This is really beautiful. I saw them in 1977 and they were so much better live than on record it was untrue. It's really good that someone captured that incarnation of the band for posterity. Even better that it's on here. I love the internet....

[@TheShpire]

Loved to see ppl of NYC back in that days , great rare video, Extra Band TH 🎶❤🙏4 upload

[@toniigx8]

this concert was on my birthday! man, i wish i could’ve been alive to see these guys live. i get a fluttery feeling in my stomach and a warm feeling in my heart when i watch them on video. my absolute favorite band!! thanks for posting

[@opaquiosq]

Why doesn't this have at least 100,000,000 views? One of the best performances on youtube.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Tina Weymouth, my favorite female Bassist, EVER.

[@rman52]

Tina doesn't use a lot of the notes on the bass but she sure is funky and makes their songs danceable. PS Who are the other fem bass players of rock?

[@dynjarren8355]

@@rman52 Darcy and Paz.

[@dynjarren8355]

Mines Darcy and I like Paz a lot.

[@rman52]

@@dynjarren8355 Sounds like you are a pumpkins fan. Darcy was ok and unfortunately succumbed to addiction and mental isuues. So sad. I like Paz style a bit more. Very melodic.

[@dynjarren8355]

@@rman52 Yes, she even passed up the reunion tour because her therapist said it would trigger her back into addiction. So for her health’s sake and recovery, she passed on the tour. And that includes big money. While I’m sad to not get to see her together again with the rest of the band, she probably did the right thing. Your health is your wealth. Of course, she could have played one Chicago show at least but I guess not. I forgot to mention Paz plays a mean violin. She’s really good on violin. So she is talented. And she revived the Pixies 🧚‍♀️ and gave them a second chapter. I like the music they are putting out lately.

So happy to find this...I was there for two nights (were there more?) I was 17, took some great photos. Reggae Artist Dillinger opened which was fun. Of the fifteen or so times I saw them these could be my favorite shows.

I performed at the Entremedia too! It's now a multi-screen movie theatre. At least they haven't torn it down like everything else in NYC.

Totally! But Byrne doesnt scream as much as Fogerty

Can a passing muso tell me what organ Jerry is playing there? Always loved its percussive quality on 'Take Me To The River'

[@chuckbenedict7235]

Was Take Me To The River originally written to be this slow? Tina did not seem to want to play it that slow...until about @14:00. Then it got funky.

To me, they're just an average band with a mediocre, but unique sound. Nothing extraordinary. I'm stunned they had this many fans. Just my opinion which I'm entitled to. The comments below suggest they had a more amazing sound than what I just heard. Perhaps I just don't get it and had to be there.
