Talking Heads' 1984 Concert Film Stop Making Sense on 2CD + Blu-Ray. Features Complete Show on 2CD, Blu-Ray Audio Disc with Doby Atmos Surround Sound, Previously Unavailable Photos and Additional Liner Notes by Tina Weymouth, David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison. The Album Is Widely Regarded As the Best Concert Film of All Time!

Stop Making Sense is widely regarded as the best concert film of all time. This 2CD/1Blu-Ray disc edition features the complete show on 2-CDs, additional liner notes written by Tina Weymouth, David Byrne, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, as well as photos not previously available with the CD, and the audio mixed in beautiful Dolby Atmos surround sound on the Blu-Ray audio disc. A live "best-of," Stop Making Sense starts strong with the band's hit "Psycho Killer" off their debut album and dives into favorites and deep cuts from "Burning Down the House" and "This Must Be the Place" to "Girlfriend Is Better" and "Heaven." The band also performs' the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love."

Among the most adventuresome bands in rock history, the Talking Heads drew from funk, minimalism, and African and Brazilian music in promulgating a new sound that was both visionary and visceral. They were invariably challenging and inventive, using infectious rhythms as a form of sorcery to introduce their ever-expanding audience to exotic influences from abroad that they might otherwise have never heard. In so doing, they helped pave the way – along with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno – for the “world music” phenomenon of the Eighties and beyond. They also created a body of highly original work, crowned by such albums as Fear of Music and Remain in Light, that didn’t so much appropriate its sources as transmute them into something that felt startlingly new and improbably accessible. – Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
