Weekend Concert Series: Talking Heads, Austin TX, 1979

We’ve featured them before, but why not take another look at the Talking Heads? Here they are performing at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin Texas on September 15, 1979.

Fear of Music was the 1979 album from the band, their second with Brain Eno and third overall. It was released in August, just prior to this show.

They look young, eh? The footage is a bit blurry, but the music is solid and still sounds fresh, decades later.

Armadillo World Headquarters was one of Austin’s hot spots for new music in the 70’s. AC/DC played their first American show there in 1977.
