Live On Air / Ann Arbor 1978

In autumn 1978, Talking Heads were touring behind their groundbreaking second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food. Captured at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this set remains one of the great live snapshots of that era.

Led by a brilliantly manic David Byrne, the band tear through a hypnotic, post-punk set with real bite and a deep funk groove. This radio broadcast recording holds onto the raw, close-up club atmosphere that made Talking Heads such a singular live band.

Carefully optimised for this CD release, the historic sound still keeps the energy intact. A vital document from 1978, and an essential piece for collectors drawn to the band’s early live brilliance.
