Stellar performances: Talking Heads' "Life During Wartime" live in Los Angeles, 1983

Ah -Talking Heads. Together with Pere Ubu, the favourite bands of my youth.
Still listen to them almost daily, TBH*.

Apart from the obvious David Byrne genius, I love Tina Weymouth bass guitar riffs.

I still remember a review of their 77 album that just labelled them as “garden variety punk” (punk acqua e sapone) - already knowing the album I was dumbfounded, and just stopped buying that magazine.

* Spotify “on repeat” playlist on request, as proof.
