Notes:
"For those of you who were here when we played at 9:30..." David Byrne says before 'Sugar On My Tongue' and that sent me on a search for the proper date of this show. Took a bit of checking around, but eventually I found a PDF file (enclosed with this torrent) by Louisfyne that contains an extensive and seemingly well informed listing of Talking Heads shows with setlists. It lists a Talking Heads show with the exact same setlist of this show here, which took place at the Jabberwocky, except it's from january 1977 and not from 1976 as written on the cassette here - but that is close enough for me to make sense. So I am sticking with his date, except because of David's quote from above I believe that he got the setlists for the early and late shows mixed up and this here is actually the late show. If anyone knows better - please let us all know!

The sound quality is mostly excellent, except the drums are often quite distorted from high recording levels, especially so the cymbals. Still, this is a very enjoyable listen and a great show with a rare performance of 'Sugar On My Tongue'. Highly recommended!
