Normally, I am not a fan of concert videos or film, prefer the studio albums from most bands.
But this… this is something else. This and “Plays Live” from Peter Gabriel are the only large-venue concert films or albums that I love.
The other type of live recording I love are bands playing live sessions for radio stations, or in small places like bars, where the acoustics sound intimate.
Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel can fill large spaces with an essence that is different from the studio setting and can make it equally compelling. That is a rare gift indeed.
