Stop Making Sense Revisited

Agreed, I saw him in Brooklyn at the Kings Theater last fall.  Amazing show!!  Really one of the best I have seen from him and I saw the Heads 6-7 times (including SMS) and him solo another 6-7 times.  I think he learned a lot from his interaction with Twyla Tharp for the movements of the band on the stage.

I have yet to hear one of his albums I haven't liked. His self titled album gets a lot of play at my house. 

Huh? I always thought this was a good music CD, but pretty compressed. This is the first I've seen anyone praising it for sound quality.

Of course, that doesn't mean it's not good music, it was just kind of early in the CD and few audiophile recordings being made.

It’s a great punchy sounding record-- at least on vinyl. mastered at sterling.
I saw them just before they got famous- playing a pizzeria in Pittsburgh (sounds like a bad joke) on Halloween- $10- buck cover, or whatever got you a couple slices of pizza and a drink! (The drummer was from the ’Burgh - in a band called Gravel). I had no idea who The Talking Heads were- a friend who was pretty astute about emerging bands took me.
I have some odd connections to them, including through the law biz. It’s a very small world. Jonathan Demme was a neighbor- we didn’t really know each other, but would recognize each other, and talk about everything but who he was. I’m not even sure he knew my name.
When we got hit with Hurricane Sandy, a bunch of local musicians put together a benefit at The Turning Point in Piermont, and Jonathan acted as a sort of master of ceremonies to help draw a crowd.

Take a look at the Dynamic Range Database for SMS - maybe the best numbers I have ever seen. Way green!
