Talking Heads - Saratoga 8-5-1983


Talking Heads may never reunite, though David Byrne still tours and Tom Tom Club are still around and you could try and piece them together, but it just wouldn't be the same. I've heard a few bootlegs of the band performing, but this Saratoga show in 1983 captured just how funky these guys were live. This concert was right around the time their famous Stop Making Sense movie came out, but I'd go as far to say that this particular performance is better. The bootleg is split into parts, the setlist is as follows:
Set 1:
Talking Heads :: Psycho Killer
Talking Heads :: Heaven
Talking Heads :: Thank You For Sending Me An Angel
Talking Heads :: Building On Fire
Talking Heads :: Book I Read
Talking Heads :: Slippery People
Talking Heads :: Cities
Talking Heads :: Big Blue Plymouth (Eyes Wide Open)
Talking Heads :: Burning Down The House
Talking Heads :: Life During Wartime
Set 2:
Talking Heads :: Making Flippy Floppy
Talking Heads :: Swamp
Talking Heads :: What A Day That Was
Talking Heads :: This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
Talking Heads :: Once In A Lifetime
Talking Heads :: Big Business >
Talking Heads :: I Zimbra
Talking Heads :: Houses In Motion
Talking Heads :: Genius Of Love (Tom Tom Club)
Talking Heads :: Girlfriend Is Better
Talking Heads :: Take Me To The River

Encore:

Talking Heads :: Crosseyed And Painless
