Here's the original text file that circulated with this audio TALKING HEADS Electric Ballroom London England December 07 1979 01 tuning 02 Artists Only 03 Stay Hungry 04 Cities 05 Paper 06 Mind 07 Heaven (false start) 08 Heaven 09 Electric Guitar 10 Air 11 Animals 12 Love > Building on Fire 13 Found a Job (beginning cut) 14 Memories Can't Wait 15 Psycho Killer 16 tuning 17 Encore: Life During Wartime Soundboard (mono) tape from the collection of Hans Devente, tape #30. Transfer by Hans: Cassette > Nakamichi Dragon > Audacity > WAV > FLAC. Edits: FLAC > TLH > Wavelab > CD-Wave > TLH > FLAC 1644 tagged. Some notes: This is one of the final concerts from the Fear of Music Tour, among the last shows as the four-piece band. This is the first of two nights, the shows were opened by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and U2. Found a Job cuts in near start of the first verse after a tape flip. It's a strange show, some technical difficulties, a little dis-jointed...after Life During Wartime, David tells the crowd not to bother clapping, the show is over, and they skip Take Me To the River. THANKS to Hans for making this excellent recording available...enjoy!

Went to the Electric Ballroom site and found a nice flyer for this concert . Pretty close to the very last one. Keep on scrollin

[@CharlesChestnut51]

Commercial quality sound. This is fantanstic. And a nice time capsule of TH before they made it ...

[@CarlosMorales-tn9sf]

Saw them in September 1979 for 2 dollars at NMSU, Las Cruces. What a bargain. Those were the days.

[@miked6426]

Sounds great thank you people sleep if they want to ...

[@JCK-gi2gm]

Such great quality! Love these soundboard captures. Damn, we were all so young. Great days!

[@johnhislop2993]

Thanks for the upload. Wish I'd seen them in '79, but I was 10. Hi from Australia.

This music still holds up, 44 years later. (Can it really be that long?) Thank you for sharing this here.

Love the photos and article snippets.

[@mysterysurf4554]

"That's it. Don't bother clapping. That's all we're gonna do." Well, alright then.

Best version of Mind I've heard

[@trarroyo]

Talking Heads with OMD. That’s a twofer.

[@jeffblack5024]

In the two times I saw them it was TH with Dire Straits and TH with U2. Now THAT's a twofer!

[@ResearchSoundLab]

I had to look up "lairy". I thought maybe it was a typo.... nope. Apt word. Learned a new word tonight- that always amazes me, really.

[@HagbardCeline23]

Just about to explode!

[@vicgross9256]

Tina is a true beast ❤

[@jeffblack5024]

Wow! Where have you been hiding this? It's an essential glimpse of where they were heading.

[@heym5634]

Only time I saw them live and what a night - U2 were added to the bill followed by OMD. Don’t remember U2, vaguely remember OMD, but as for Byrne and co……

Thanks!

[@cornucopiaofcool2144]

First five records great. Than Byrne became boring. CATHERINE WHEEL got some clever stuff but AND THERE SHE WAS boring pop drivel. He shoulda let the e other members participate. And playing live would have kept juices flowing. What might have been. It was only up from here.

[@Craggy1sland]

Nah
