Talking Heads Chronology

The footage in this fascinating documentary may not always be of the highest quality, but the performances captured over the course of the career of this enormously influential band more than make up for it. The film not only captures the Talking Heads making great music, but shows us their evolution as a live band. Watching them in the early footage, like when they almost shyly perform With Our Love in 1975, it’s hard to imagine it’s the same band that theatrically rocks out on Life During Wartime at the Talking Head’s introduction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For the uninitiated, there’s a good interview with lead singer David Byrne that gives you some cool insight into the band, and once you are converted, there’s some great commentary from the entire band that adds to the experience
