live. They were never a studio band. They thrived when surrounded by a mass jumping session by thousands of adoring, hyper fanatical kids. This was produced by T Talking Heads and not by some geek in a suit and tie, they performed this set beautifully and had made damn sure that as soon as it hit the shelves in the record shops, that it would sound just as good, if not better than it did to the audience they were playing for at the time of recording it.

Fresh from working with David Bowie, Eno has added alot of his personal touches to this album, and this shines through.
