For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we turn to this killer Talking Heads concert that’s been making the rounds online, an 80-minute black-and-white performance filmed at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, N.J., about a month after the release of 1980’s Remain in Light.
The show, posted to Music Vault’s Talking Heads page on YouTube, features the Heads’ classic expanded touring lineup with Adrian Belew and Bernie Worrell.

Wow! What a flashback. The best Heads tour ever. The memories are crystal clear.
Where did they find this? In a shotgun shack? Another part of the world? Behind the wheel of a large automobile? In a beautiful house with a beautiful wife?
Well? How did it get here?
Fantastic show. Black and white even better. A gem. Wish this was on DVD.
Never seen anything like that before.
(Fantastic version of Born Under Punches, and a great concert all around!)
I can’t believe this was 35 years ago. The memories come flooding back. Not to sound like my Dad, but man those were the days.
