This quintessential music film features the music of Talking Heads. Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia) revolutionized the art of shooting rock concerts with this innovative and lively record of the Talking Heads. Filmed at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, California, this film cements the group’s place as one of the day’s most unique rock groups. Among the 18 songs included are “Take Me to the River,” “Once in a Lifetime,” and “Burnin’ Down the House.”
