Talking Heads/Aichi, Japan 1981

This item includes Talking Heads’ second performance in Japan and Nagoya performance. Although it was an audience recording, it is the top-class sound quality among the audience sound sources of the “Remain in Light” tour that took place from 1980 to 1981. “Remain in Light” is the album in which the seeds of Afrobeat were planted in the punk field, cultivated by Brian Eno, and harvested by Talking Heads, and is Talking Heads’ greatest masterpiece. Talking Heads at this time was exciting just because of the strongest lineup and member composition such as Bernie Worrell and Adrian Belew. In particular, Adrian Belew was popular with Frank Zappa, David Bowie, and King Crimson during this period. That’s right, Brew is a spicy guitarist who can completely change the sound of a band just by being there. Brew is only present during this tour. The elephant guitar explodes from the opening song “Psycho Killer”. Recommended board. Recorded Live at Aichi Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, February 24, 1981 DISC 1 1. PSYCHO KILLER 2.
