I saw Talking Heads perform here in Melbourne in January 1984. They shared the bill with (I think) Eurythmics. Or it might have been The Pretenders. I know those three bands plus Simple Minds did some sideshows in Melbourne, on their journey down under to perform at Narara Music Festival in NSW. Of course, they weren't called sideshows then. We knew them simply as 'concerts'...
Anyway, I saw all four shows with whichever combination of the artists mentioned above (my one surviving ticket stub is helpfully torn in half, leaving only the 'DS' plus 'The Pretenders' visible).
They were all great.
Met them all too. David Byrne remains one of the most boring people I've ever come in contact with.
Very talented, though...
