The live album everyone remembers, of course, is Stop Making Sense, thanks to the Jonathan Demme-directed movie and the iconic image of David Byrne in that gigantic suit. But as much as we like Sense, it’s hard to beat this double-disc set, finally out for the first time on CD and with a half-hour of unreleased material added. This Band collects material from the Heads’ formative early years, 1977 to 1981, when they were at their most white-hot creatively—the brilliant concert revamps of their Remain in Light songs are especially thrilling.
