Talkingheads/Tokyo,Japan 2.28.1981

This work includes the performance of “February 28: Nippon Seinenkan”. This day was the final day of the Japan tour, with two performances in the day and night. This work is an audience album of the “night part” that decorates the big last. The biggest point of this work is the full show recording. However, it is not only that, but the sound is also outstanding. This is a work by a master who has repeatedly released titles with countless artists / bands in our shop, and it is a direct CD of the master cassette that was directly handed over from the recording artist himself. The sound is neat and clear. While slightly absorbing the venue sound, the details are clear. Although it is slightly different from the type called “like a sound board”, the straight musical tone and the extremely small audience noise are also wonderful recordings. The full show drawn with that sound is wonderful. “Warning Sign”, “I Zimbra”, “Animals”, and “Take Me To The River” are delicious, but “I Zimbra” is especially happy. Although it is a number that symbolizes the turning point when they also tried African funk, it was not until 1980 that they started to play it on stage. Of course, I couldn’t hear it on their first visit to Japan, but on their second visit, they performed it with a large group of nine people. Of course, the culmination of the masterpieces from “MORE SONGS ABOUT”, “FEAR OF MUSIC” and “REMAIN IN LIGHT” lined up in a row is a great listen. It’s like a “best album of live performances”. Although such a culmination and the complement of the sound board are delicious, the best thing is that you can experience the full show with 100% real realism. The reality is that you can immerse yourself in the feeling that “TALKING HEADS is there” and “this is 1981”. This is a clear and refreshing experience album.
