Notes from the original uploader:

A 1st gen audience recording. Jim is pretty drunk for this show and has a lot of fun with the audience. Unlike in Miami, he doesn’t berate the crowd, but does threaten to kill someone if his monitors aren’t turned up as “Five To One” starts. “Hey listen, if I can’t hear myself a little bit louder than that, I’m just gonna quit, go out, and kill some people! C’mon!” The band keeps vamping but Jim continues to playfully talk with the audience. After over six minutes of banter he asks, “What song are we singing?” and finally begins the lyrics to “Five To One.” After a surprisingly tight version of “When The Music’s Over,” the band goes into “Soul Kitchen” and during the song’s second verse, Jim misses his cue. Toward the end of the song, the band realizes that Jim isn’t interested in finishing the lyrics and they break into “Light My Fire.” By the end of the concert, Jim is incoherent and screaming more and more until he finally jumps into the audience. He manages to get back onstage (with the help of a number of stage hands) and barely finishes “Light My Fire” before leaving the stage. At the very end of the tape, you can hear the house announcer ask the audience for Jim’s coat. (“Has anyone seen Jim Morrison’s coat?”) Definitely an interesting night as far as Doors shows go. Only wish we had a better quality recording. Enjoy.

Notes by rednoise Oct. 17, 2005…

This is a transfer of my original radio transcript LP to digital. The
record has been played a lot, so there is some surface noise, but it was
minimal to begin with and I spent some time carefully cleaning what
could be corrected without negatively impacting the music.

LP > WAV > slight cleanup with Adobe Audition > FLAC>MP3

The following tracks have been omitted because they have been officially
released on the album “The Name of the Band is the Talking Heads”.

4. The Girls Want to Be with the Girls (3:56)
6. Electricity (3:31)
8. Found a Job (5:35)

Throughout the latter half of 1978 and the early months of 1979, Talking
Heads continued to criss-cross their way across Europe and the U.S.A.,
surprising many audiences with the power of their live shows.

Recognizing that on stage the band tapped into an energy source that
their records left unminded, Warner Brothers (Sire’s parent company)
taped a Talking Heads show at the Agora in Cleveland on March 15th 1979.
Entitled ‘Talking Heads Live On Tour’, the album caught the group on the
verge of the sessions for their third album Fear Of Music, and one song,
‘Electricity’, later appeared on that album as ‘Drugs’. The rest of the
live album consisted of songs from the first two studio LP’s, charged
with an emotional current that belied the often placid sound of the
group’s records.

Lineage:

Editing notes:
* Re-tracked show (combined WAV files in Nero, then re-split with CD Wave)

Note #1: I decided to create a separate track for the encore break–which is really just crowd applause–since it lasts roughly two minutes; tracking it this way allows you the option of skipping over the “applause” track when you listen to the show…and thereby saving two minutes of listening time.

Note #2: The volume on both CDs is just below 90dB; I did not make any adjustment to the volume, although some of you who prefer louder recordings may want to increase the volume 1-2 dB with your favorite wave editor if you feel the volume should be slightly louder.

TheCommish notes:
On previous “RS Archives” torrents, several of you requested a Tears For Fears show from the archive. Well, you’re going to LOVE this awesome-sounding show!

A caveat, however: Since I am not a Tears For Fears fan, I had to research almost all of the song titles below. I think I got everything correct, but please forgive me if any of the titles are incorrect.

Also, this show came to me as “Unknown venue” and with an April 1990 date. After doing some research, I found that this Cleveland show was held at Public Hall on Feb. 12, 1990.

Somewhere in the mid-to-late 90’s, that is to say in the early days of the Internet, or rather, the early days of widespread Internet, a friend of mine sent me an e-mail an in the subject line she had written “Woman in Chains.”  That will likely seem strange until I tell you that in all the e-mails we sent each other we included in the subject line a song title, or lyric.  The receiver then tried to guess which song it came from.  I hadn’t the slightest idea where that one came from, which is to say I am not the world’s biggest Tears for Fears fan.  It surprised me that I didn’t know it, because I actually did have a couple of their disks, and my roommate enjoyed listening to them. I was surprised even more when I found out I had that very song on a CD.  Which is to say that I liked their big hit songs, but not much else.

The question then becomes why do I have one of their concerts if I am not really a fan.  The answer lies in my love of finding oddball, or obscure shows.  Concerts from folks like the Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen or Ryan Adams are easy to come by.  They allow taping, they understand the benefits behind letting people trade their shows.  For others this isn’t the case and thus there are not very many of their concerts available in trading circles.  I’ve never once seen a Tears for Fears show out there, and thus I find it interesting.
