Album Overview
Live Chicago, August 28, 1978 captures Talking Heads during a formative period in the band’s rise, performing live in Chicago shortly after the release of More Songs About Buildings and Food. The recording documents David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison bringing their angular new wave, art rock, and post-punk sound to the stage during one of the most important periods of their early career.
The performance draws from the band’s first two studio albums and includes early favorites such as “The Big Country,” “Warning Sign,” “The Book I Read,” “Psycho Killer,” “Take Me to the River,” and “Thank You for Sending Me an Angel.” Recorded at Park West in Chicago on August 28, 1978, the set offers a snapshot of Talking Heads as their live sound continued to evolve beyond their early New York club performances.
This 2017 Netherlands pressing presents selections from the Chicago performance on 180-gram vinyl. Issued by Cult Legends as an unofficial release, this European import is not part of the officially authorized Talking Heads catalog.
Why You’ll Love It
If you enjoy the raw energy of early Talking Heads performances, Live Chicago, August 28, 1978 offers another archival look at the band during the More Songs About Buildings and Food era. Its 180-gram vinyl presentation and selection of early favorites make it an interesting collector release for listeners exploring live recordings beyond the band’s official catalog.
