After playing a selection of showcases in Europe at the start of 1978, the band took time out to record their second album More Songs About Buildings And Food in the Bahamas, with Brian Eno producing. This record was a more diverse and even more successful collection of songs than its predecessor Talking Heads: 77. A cover of Al Greens Take Me To The River was also released as a single, and exposed Talking Heads to a significantly larger audience when it reached number 26 on thw Billboard Hott 100. Other standout cuts featured iclude The Big Country, The Girls Want To Be With The Girls and The Good Thing. This great live set, broadcast during the second leg of their lenghty tour crriss-crossing the USA, includes all three singles by then released, together with the cream of the two albums other cuts, is a superb distillation of all that made Talking Heads such a unique and remarkable band.
