Talking Heads: Les Talking Heads a la Carte
Max Bell, NME, 28 July 1979
THE SCENE: Paris, France, July 10. Bastille Day looms, Talking Heads and their 'guests' The B52s have just completed a mini-European jaunt minus Great Britain. Tonight they played a concert of manic stature in the ultra-chic Theatre du Palace before a packed house of 1500 well behaved and even better dressed French rockers – now people, night people.
