Notes
U2 were a late addition to the bill so do not appear on the poster. OMD, too, were a late change, replacing The Human League.

Live Recording
It was made by a prolific taper who recorded many Talking Heads shows and the quality is excellent. The full set has been captured. Andy can be heard asking for the Organ to be turned down right at the start of 'Messages'.

This recording only surfaced in the last ten years or so. Previous recordings were far inferior to this one but should be noted as including a recording of 'Statues' at the end. It is not taken from this show and, although it is an early version of the song, it's original recording date and venue is unknown.
