Talking Heads_Found A Job (Live at Entermedia Theatre, 1978)

[@Phil_Trujeque]

Oh man she's such a melodic player - she's such a good groover. Lot's of my favorite Talking Heads songs are very bass-driven, like this one.

[@danialkashin234]

That's right, you learn real fast. You're the smartest girl in town

[@CliveNebula71]

Little did the cameramen know when filming this that Tina's bass riff is the driving force of this song. Treated her like Sasquatch with these little glimpses they gave us.

[@ackleykid3671]

@Paul Mykietyn Oh, I see.....you're trying to be funny. Simp.

[@danielaruta8816]

Tina Troll strikes again.

[@ConsumeristScroffa]

@@danielaruta8816 I don't think you know what a troll is.

[@luddetest7424]

I couldn't agree more ..

[@gfgoalie28]

My favorite bass line from my favorite bassist. Probably my favorite TH performance too!

[@bridgetown1966]

Ok the bass is owning this song. Just had to say that.

[@peterhalick6226]

David never told Jerry that his mic wasn’t on. Wonderful.

[@donsurlylyte]

45 years old, and it would still be fresh if it came out today

[@rainerpatalong8403]

Tina‘s Bass is the best 🎸👌

[@danielaruta8816]

Tina Troll strikes again.

[@danielaruta8816]

Another Tine Troll.

[@dbrowdie]

Hard ass bassline from Tina. I can't nail that. It is just too hard!

[@chasbodaniels1744]

It’s one of her best efforts for sure. She kills it.

[@MrDino1953]

I loved how a lot of early Talking Heads songs were about the mundane, everyday things in life..buildings, cities, food, getting a job…as opposed to grandiose declarations of love, heartbreak, sex etc, the standard clichés of pop music.

[@teckelteckels2730]

That bass is nuts!

[@bostrowskij]

Fantastic bass playing by Tina Weymouth, and Byrne is a great rythm guitarist!

[@Bethune_Groundstaff]

So metronome

[@gxtmfa]

If you watch their live footage chronological, you'll notice all of their instrumental technique improves drastically as the years go by. Of course, they also surrounded themselves with better instrumentalists and seemed to learn a lot from them (especially Tina).

[@brucemacmillan7128]

I liked them best when they were a 4 piece band. The expanded version was ok, but I prefer the more minimalist version of TH. I also saw them live during this period, so that's another reason.

[@rickhager3288]

@@brucemacmillan7128 I'm with you, Bruce. The four of them were their best incarnation. I also saw them in 1978. They were just great. Wish DB would put them back together again but that seems beyond unlikely. At least we still have the original recordings and a lot of material on YT. Peace out.

[@brucemacmillan7128]

@@rickhager3288 Like post Zep Robert Plant, Byrne has other fish to fry that are of greater interest. You can't always go home. Or if you do, maybe for just a short visit.

[@bostrowskij]

Byrne plays great rhythm guitar!

[@aanon9333]

soooo underated, agreed.

[@hamburgerlover9825]

he's a fantastic guitarist

[@lucapasseroni6371]

Jerry” Harrison

[@anotherjoshua]

agree. he's a fantastic rhythm guitarist

[@apryason]

The lyrics predicted the future of "television." I was impressed with this back then, and it had to come true. I worked in the TV industry, and witnessed first hand its obsolescence in small markets.

[@daveanderson718]

Tina Kicks AZZZ!! Jerry does that great riff at the end as well!!

[@Romany1111]

+Dave Anderson Tina's playing is "up" in this mix. Great to hear how funky she is...prelude to Tom Tom Club.

[@brylorbs69]

What make this fabulous song really amazing is that it was written in 1978 and appears to predict the coming of "Reality TV" decades later.

[@MattMcIrvin]

And KZbin and TikTok.

[@beaware6487]

Tina was leading for parts of this song. Epic

[@Mspoor70]

Any time someone says "it's not a major disaster" I have to listen to this song 🤗

[@brucemacmillan7128]

Don't get upset eh? 😭

[@yourinsipidrecordcollection]

Someone at an employment presentation I attended said: 'If your work isn't what you love...' and I said 'then something isn't right'. She said: 'Very good.' I don't think she knew the song. :)

[@TheAmericanOne]

Best version and quality I've heard yet, THANKS

[@pedemeyer]

I really hate the fact that a band like this wouldt never make today. Talking Heads is truly "once in a life time." I love you!

[@AlessandroUlcigrai]

The groove of lady on bass guitar is like a bomb....great band

[@therealsoulproduct]

Love this tune, love this album, love this band.

[@huttwigley2]

If you really listen to the lyrics, David Byrne was talking about KZbin way back in the 1970's!

[@dM-ij1we]

👍 Weird just wrote the same thing on the recorded version. Well ahead of their time.

[@Bethune_Groundstaff]

1:02 Radiohead I understand it now

[@MauriceMossisitnot]

Uber fun song to play on the bass

[@mattycfox]

Dammit, that was so good.

[@otineb5]

Super cool song, and Martina Weymouth is so precise and funky on the bass. I love this tune, THs, rock!

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Haha, I always think of her as Martina too.

[@kernowdel]

So so good. Rock. Punk. Reggae. Classical. Soul. All in one song. Genius.

[@AndreasKlanzer2384]

There’ll never be a band like them again.

[@Ami483]

Listen to King crimson elephant talk

[@DarenAllder]

What a joy! Loved this song since having 77 and More Songs... on cassette.

[@Slammo]

...that wonderful bass.

[@jerrymccabe9595]

Wow just found this!....went to this show!

[@lucapasseroni6371]

I love the ending with the guitar of Jerry Harrison

[@chasbodaniels1744]

They’d never have taken off if it weren’t for Jerry joining them. He had pro experience with Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers, and brought his guitar and keys skills to the trio. Whatta band, eh?

[@Bethune_Groundstaff]

Yea the sustain sustains more… I think about it a lot

[@markharc7615]

If this wasn't so tight, I'd say there were illegal substances involved, but everybody in the band is smoking! Byrnes rhythm guitar is spot on during the solo. The bass and drums are so solid as well.

[@ncapone87]

They were coked out in this time period, which just shows you how insanely good they were

[@markharc7615]

Wow- as a bass player myself I've been in tons of bands who weren't anywhere near this tight.@@ncapone87

[@alakazamela]

Just discovered this song and I absolutely love it!

[@brucemacmillan7128]

"If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right." Which is why I'm not part of the working world anymore.

[@anotherjoshua]

love tina's bass

[@jmarsinelli6149]

Imagine tina didn't want to join the talking heads.. didn't even play bass.. only because her bf(future husband) kept asking her. Where would they be .. especially for that unmistakable intro to psycho killer

[@edwardruff7927]

Just… absolutely… astounding. So much joy. This performance gives me chills.

[@Boglehill]

Love the early Heads! So cutting edge.

[@TempleOfFilm]

a real favourite tune found on a great album.

[@kbstabs5982]

Brilliant!

[@Timmybear]

Miss Weymouth is the queen (and king) of bass players! :)

[@wilsonxavi]

Ay mamita, ese bajo

[@PeterWesleyBastone]

GREAT SONG....shared to the 'Good Morning Music Community' on Google+

[@anirudhsankar5792]

Ugh Tinas bass carries this song and yet the camera is hardly on her 😩

[@willmerwin2226]

gotta love the groove

[@mrdreamsisasleep]

If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right!

[@NOWtheband]

All four are equally and righteously brilliant. 🙂 And I have a similar bass, ha!

[@jakobvanhee5544]

this is really something. Man, that bass.........pfiew

[@icon057]

they peaked in 1979 with fear of music....but 78 was a great year in music for sure...saw them at beacon theatre in NY 1978 new years eve!

[@cactaceous]

How in the fuck did “they peak in 1979” when their very best and defining album came out in 1980 and their crossover cultural success was cemented in 1983?!

[@nudnick]

Did XTC open?

[@11Loplop]

Few days ago I bought 9 Talking Heads CD and DVD; I found such video, really amazing, awesome. Great bass scale, I am a bassman (not prof), I hope I will find others to play TH here in Rome; I see only a guitar.

[@crazytrain7114]

Massimo, did you ever get the band together?

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

Wonderful x

[@gerrylundergaard60]

I feel blessed that I still have awesome songs like this playing in my head & not segments of today’s pop trash.

[@wralford]

Oh Gods, I haven't heard this in years. Thank you so much!

[@monkeyklaus]

everyone great in this, but, imo, Tina owns this song!

[@rsguna4593]

Very nice

One of the best grooves ...starts at 3:24.

[@christophersmay4508]

Tina ❤

[@johnschober1819]

Tina's bass playing is so transcendnt

[@CoopersCoppers]

😂 What can you say about the T-Heads? They were always that band that was so far better than their contemporaries. I saw them as a 4 piece. And watched them expand to an amazing Wall of Sound. If you listen closely, you'll hear me in the audience when Stop Making Sense was filmed at the Pantages. This is an awesome rendition of one of their best songs.

[@Arsonist75205]

Tina in those tight pants going ham on that bass!

[@koldfushen]

YOU DA MAN!!

[@magnuskjellman1606]

What kind of bass is that?

[@rikspring]

A good one 😊

[@jameskendall9168]

Sorry about the double period punctuation error. There might even be a spinoff but not sure 'bout that.

[@Biznz]

deciphering what your nick could mean was almost as much fun as the video.

Wasn't the Entermedia on 2nd Ave. & 12th? That was an awesome venue.

[@jameskendall9168]

Damn that television. Not a major disaster..

[@Mspoor70]

..... Or "it helped saved their relationship"

[@awcoman]

Fantastic live, but why no more camera on Tina? Flawed.

[@jameskendall9168]

Kids can try this at home but it's really difficult.

[@chateaupig826]

I wonder if they still play this at student parties

[@Jukkala]

Tina Weymouth is all that ... and then some.

Did they write a song prophesying Reality TV?
