Damn, to be in Rome in 1980. The show below is the Talking Heads, live in Rome in 1980. Many of you may have already seen it. It's been up on YouTube by one user or another for years. If you have any interest in the band and have yet to see it, go grab some popcorn, pour yourself a beer or roll a big fat joint, whatever accoutrements you utilize, and forget about Mitch McConnell for an hour. If you have seen it, then you get the parting gift, the icing on the Rome 1980 cake. Gil Evans with the RAI Big Band, who ever the hell they are. Gil Evans I know. Jazz pianist and band leader, blah, blah, blah. The live show, two hours, is good, and kinda sorta has a Jerry Dammer's Spacial Arkestra vibe to it. Regardless, it hit the spot after a day at the beach with a couple friends. That's my criteria.
