Neil Young's "On the Beach", "Metamorphosis" by the Rolling Stones or even "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads" by the very some. All plates whose CD release have pulled for some reason in the absurd length. But now it has finally come: The wonderful 4-phase live album of the New York band led by singer David Byrne appears as a digital Silberling in extended version. The original 17 songs from the original double LP has grown to 33. Here some songs diving (eg the great psycho killer or Drugs, which was originally Electricity and sounded completely different) same in different versions. The distribution is similar to the vinyl edition, just not as much. Page 1 of 1977, Page 2 in 1979 and page 3 and 4 of the extensive world tour in 1980/81. The double CD divided 1977-79 and 1980-81. So get newcomers not only a more than representative cross-section of the Live era of the band, but also a proof of what this band in their prime in 1977 - had brought to the stage 81. Some songs of the Expanded version, there were times for a short time on the rare collectible "Live on Tour 79", which was at that time pressed into a vinyl edition of only 600 pieces, and now for the first time, at least partially on CD is available. Overall, a real feast for all Talking Heads fans and the unique insight that the wait has probably more than worth it, because there are certainly not the worst songs (or even lousy filler), now extend the original LP, but recordings where one rather wonders why they have not done it on the vinyl release 22 years ago. "I'm not in Love" is much better than the studio version, "Who is it" is pure dada and the absolute, absolute highlight of the entire board is the incredible vocals of David Byrne in "Cities". Crazy and probably the term "best band" entirely appropriate. A pity that there is no longer this band!
