Talking Heads 1983-12-16 Pantages Theatre (Stop Making Sense 4th night raw audio)

I uploaded this special recording on its 39th anniversary (December 16th 1983) Stop Making Sense, the 1984 concert film by Talking Heads, was recorded at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood using footage from December 14th and 15th 1983, but Talking Heads did 4 shows at the venue on the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th. None of this night ended up in the movie or album, but this audience audio recording captures the final night. In addition to giving interesting insight to the raw sound of Stop Making Sense (the film edited some songs to be shorter, or mixed differently, but the performances each night were quite similar so this is representative of the previous 3 nights too) it is also very noteworthy as a recording of the final full-length show Talking Heads ever did in America! (In early 1984 their final tour was across Australia & New Zealand, then they only ever did small-scale performances) Setlist: 0:00:00 - (audience) 0:00:27 - Psycho Killer 0:06:01 - Heaven 0:10
