Luckily, The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, a live document first released in 1982 but only recently available on CD, captures Byrne and his fellow Heads at their frenetic best, tearing through gospel-infused classics like "Houses in Motion" and "Crosseyed and Painless" with a nervous ferocity that borders on some kind of transcendent musical anarchy. The expanded reissue, boasting more than 30 minutes of previously unreleased cuts and a pristine sound clarity, is an unmatched testament to the unit's prowess as a live act, surpassing even 1984's landmark Stop Making Sense.
