Rare concert footage of Talking Heads performing during their legendary Remain in Light trek has been unearthed after 35 years. Filmed four years before the band's concert film Stop Making Sense, this 80-minute performance was taped in stark black-and-white at Passiac, New Jersey's Capitol Theatre on November 4, 1980. The show came less than a month after the quartet released their landmark Remain in Light, and five of the gig's 14 songs are culled from that album.
Songs like "Houses In Motion" and "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)" take on a rawer, more frenetic guise on the stage, with the Talking Heads then at the peak of their powers aided onstage by King Crimson's Adrian Belew, who contributes Fripp-ian guitar to the Remain in Light tracks. Parliament-Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell who performed with the Talking Heads live throughout the Eighties also appeared at the Passaic show.

I liked the show, but I was bummed out that the bar was so crowded. So bummed out that I didn't return to see Blondie or Elvis Costello when they played the same bar in the weeks that followed. Sigh...

I would stand in crowded bar for that. I would have been underage, but in the 70's that wasn't really a problem.

It's no wonder that they count some jam bands like WSP among their big fans. They COOKED.
