Be warned, again, that most of the albums I'm posting from this festival are audience bootlegs with lower sound quality than the soundboard or FM radio bootlegs I usually post. This is another case of that.
It seems the sun set during the B-52's set that just prior to this one. So it was dark during this whole set, which helped a ton considered it had reached 110 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, and was quite dusty as well.
Here's what Rolling Stone Magazine wrote about this set in an article that came out shortly after the festival: "Talking Heads didn't have to inhale quite as much dirt during their set... but they did turn in the day's best show – a tough, gritty set of percussive funk that found [lead singer] David Byrne hopping around the stage like a bunny rabbit, running in circles around its perimeter and introducing one unrecorded, as-yet-untitled new song whose chorus consisted of 'Hi hi hi hi hi hi.'" The song mentioned at the end is called "Swamp" and would appear on the band's 1983 album "Speaking in Tongues."
Note that when I first posted this album, the sound quality was slightly worse. But musical associate MZ sent me a better source. It's still an audience boot, but it sounds significantly better. Thanks, MZ!
At the time of this concert, the band hadn't released a new album since 1980's "Remain in Light." At that time, for a young band, that was a long time between albums. But lead singer David Byrne released a solo album in late 1981 called "The Catherine Wheel," and that effectively served as a new Talking Heads album for the purposes of their 1982 concerts. They played four songs from that album in this concert (tracks 93, 96, 98, and 103). Additionally, band member Jerry Harrison released a solo album in 1981 called "The Red and the Black." One song from that, "Slink," was a minor hit, and was also performed in this concert.
This album is an hour and 18 minutes long.
