I can't believe I just stumbled across this yesterday.
Stop Making Sense is generally considered one of, if not the best, concert film ever made, and rightfully so. And while this doesn't have the visual spectacle that SMS has, for me, this show the band is better, the performance hotter and tighter, and all around an even better show. If I had seen the Heads live on this tour, I think my little mind might never have recovered from it.
And I always wondered how Adrian Belew got that seagull squawking sound.

Edit: OK, I don't know why the video starts in the middle. Just run it back to the start.

Fun fact - this was/is Subpop's entire marketing strategy.

It is because you have appended the in-video time to the link: &t=1388s
If you remove that string, the video will queue from the start:

It is a very handy feature when you want to blow past the bullshit that people lard onto their videos.
God, they are wonderful. Thank you!

The scene in the Subpop documentary where the program director moves from the root major chord down two steps to a flat-six major chord (probably E major to C major) is the funniest scene in music documentary history.
All of grunge came from one finger change.

I recently learned of an industrial punk/rock band called Throbbing Gristle (have not actually listened to any of their music). They were apparently known for some pretty confrontational and controversial live shows.
The names of their first albums are pure rage bait.
They started with cassette demo called: "The Best of Throbbing Gristle, Volume 2"
Their first actual debut album, a live album, was titled: "The 2nd Annual Report". They released a limited number of these but then did a 2nd release following increased demand. On the rerelease, all the the tracks played backwards, and in reverse order from the original release.
The next album, their 2nd official album, was called: "The Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle".
The next album, their 3rd, was called: "20 Jazz Funk Greats". It contained 11 tracks, none of which were jazz, funk, or jazz funk.

And speaking of Adrian Belew, the performance that completely changed my tastes in music.

And since we're on a Talking Heads kick today.....
If you've never heard it, and have 75 minutes to kill, you need to hear David Byrne's score for the Broadway dance show The Catherine Wheel. My favorite work of his. Couple tracks from this made the Stop Making Sense setlist.
When it first came out, it was a truncated version on vinyl, the only way to get the complete score was on cassette. I searched in vain to find it until finally stumbling onto a copy at a little record store in NYC during a college field trip.

Edit: This is the only version of the show I am able to find online. But I know sometime in the 80's I saw a performance on PBS that was basically just a filmed performance as it appeared originally on the stage. And this is not what I saw.

(1) You may have to re-cache. (2) You have to change the link itself, not just the text the link is applied to (confusing because they start out the same).
Anyway, that's how that URL tag works so if not take it up with the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Technical Architecture Group (TAG). Those fuckers need some humbling. MIT and OSF my ass.

I also love that scene with Leighton Beezer, even though he's clearly making fun of the whole thing.
"...and that was grunge."
And it transitions into TAD describing themselves.
But it's not just that. Subpop basically borrowed the Motown model. "These are our bands, this is what we sound like, and we're fuckin IN. YOUR. FACE"

I've said this before and it's probably tiresome, but - TAD, Soundgarden, Skin Yard, and Mudhoney are what most "grunge" sounded like before Kurt and Ed rearranged the rock n' roll deck chairs on the Titanic that was 80s wigs.
And let's not pass on Gas Huffer, possibly the best moniker for a punk band ever.
