Notes :
This could be my favourite David Byrne post-Talking Heads era bootleg of all time. I just love the "Feelings" album, and the tour he did to support that album saw him try to re-arrange some golden oldies his audience never heared since 15 years. It's just awesome to hear those Talking Heads songs reinvented to sound like they would have if the band had released them in the late 90's. There are many hightlights during this show : the Missy Elliott cover, the dub version of my favourite TH song "Making Flippy Floppy", the live version of "Help Me Somebody" and "Listening Wind" (two tracks that were recorded with Brian Eno but never performed live before the Feelings Tour). Then, the grand finale with the trip-hop version of "Psycho Killer" and the house version of "I Zimbra". It's just crazy ! I must say the sound quality is TOP NOTCH, congrats to the taper for his awesome job. This Berlin show might not just be the best bootleg from the Feelings tour, but one of the best David Byrne/Talking Heads bootleg of ALL TIME !
