The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads

The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads is a double live album by the American new wave band Talking Heads, released in 1982 by Sire Records. The first LP features the original quartet in concert and radio recordings in 1977 and 1979, and the second LP features the expanded ten-piece lineup that toured in 1980 and 1981. Though a decent commercial and critical success upon release, The Name of This Band was somewhat overshadowed by Talking Heads’ subsequent live album and concert film Stop Making Sense. However, it went on to attract greater retrospective acclaim, with critics remarking on its importance in documenting the band’s artistic growth.
