"This is a Talking Heads concert that was fantastic!! 6 out of 5 stars. Yup, I'll be playing this again, maybe several times. A very unique performance, quite entertaining!! This stands out, not typical by any means. I recommend turning the volume up as high as possible (just short of disturbing your neighbors, lol) or else use a headset. This concert was originally performed at the Hollywood Pantages Theater in 1983, with a restoration of this film in 2023, 40 years later. I recognized a good deal of these songs, and several are familiar songs from the radio. I've also heard their songs as soundtracks to a few movies. It seemed to end too soon, but figure I can just play it over again!!"

"And you may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife. And you may ask yourself how have I not watched the greatest concert film ever made until now?"

"Best concert film ever made, ever. Not a traditional documentary (no narration, all concert). It will make you want to watch it back again the second you finish it. Get those wavy arms and legs goin'!"
