Talking Heads - Live in Rome 1980

Required viewing for any Talking Heads fan. Live video from their 1980 Rome show which includes Adrian Belew (King Crimson) absolutely ripping shit up on guitar. I love the fact that the stage setup is very stripped down and leaves the focus to rest solely on the music. The lineup for the show is as follows: David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Steve Scales, Bernie Worrell, Dolette MacDonald, Buster Jones and Adrian Belew.

The three tracks that I have selected fully exhibit the Heads' distinct style and attitude. If you like these clips make sure to check out the rest of the show which is available on youtube and for download from other sites.
