Talking Heads – Still Don't Make No Sense

This is a great alternative recording from the SMS tour taken from FM radio recordings with decent sound. Compared to the official CD release this omits Heaven, Girlfriend and the woeful Tom Tom Club track that I usually skip, but adds Big Business segueing into I Zimbra.

The annotation says these come from a variety of concerts on the tour, and they've been resequenced for the radio, so Psycho Killer no longer kicks this off but has been moved back to track 12. I think the new sequence works pretty well as a listening experience, though obviously the original sequence makes more sense live and on DVD.

While the annotation refers to the order of the songs on the CD, the tracklist on the back cover is completely wrong, and appears to be the order in which these songs were performed each night. The other thing to note is that these tracks are the same as the ones that appear on another release 'Stop Making Sense Tour (Westwood One - FM), the sequence is the same, the timings are the same give or take a second or two here and there, so if you have one of these releases already you don't need the other.

Discogs'tracklist is the one mentioned on the back sleeve of the CD. On the CD, only "10. Big Business/I Zimbra" is correct. The tracklist on the CD goes as follows: 1. Thank You For Sending Me An Angel; 2. Burning Down The House; 3. Making Flippy Floppy; 4. Once In A Lifetime; 5. Found A Job; 6. Slippery People; 7. What A Day That Was; 8. This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody); 9. Life During Wartime; 10. Big Business/I Zimbra; 11. Swamp; 12. Psycho Killer; 13. Crosseyed And Painless; 14. Take Me To The River.
