Widely regarded as one of the greatest concert films and live albums ever made, this soundtrack captures the band's 1983 tour performances, recorded at Hollywood's Pantages Theater. Conceived by David Byrne, the show features an expanded nine-piece lineup including musicians like Bernie Worrell and Alex Weir, reinterpreting their songs with deep, polyrhythmic funk grooves. This live album documents the band at their absolute creative and performative peak.
