This could quite possibly be the greatest live performance..
by any band ever.
Stop Making Sense set the standard for concert films and as great as Rattle and Hum was, it's not as good as the stuff from Talking Heads.

If the greatness of a band were determined by multiplying the greatness of their music by their nerdiness quotient, The Heads would be the greatest band in the history of the universe.
That was a great film. |

Yes, it's great stuff. I also recommend the 2 CD set "The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads", which contains live performances from their first few albums.

That is quite certainly not among the greatest performances by any band ever.

You are now disqualified from discussing live performances by bands (in any genre).
