    “Crosseyed & Painless” circa 1980 from the new Talking Heads Chronology. Around the 1:00 mark where they switch speeds… oh man. Amazing to compare this to five years earlier.

    Saw them live in ‘84 in Berkeley.  They were actually a lot better live than this video suggests.  The slow intro isn’t part of the studio version; it was probably added simply as a seguey from the prior song.  It works fine without it on the album. TH was my favorite band for many many years…
