All Time Top 1100 Albums

It might not be wrong. That SMS is the best concert film ever made is probably beyond dispute.

Obviously not heard Bruce Springsteen's Live 75-85 boxset.

Substance is in Larkin’s top 1000 so you will have a chance to give it 10/10.

I would, however, suggest it receive an 11 :)

With how long this thread will last I will be long dead probably, you have my permission to cast that score on my behalf.

Probably the first Will and testament done on bluemoon.

Must be a long album that one:-)

Considered the benchmark for live performances. 10/10 for me. It's as much theatre as a concert but throw in such high quality of musical craftsmanship and you have a masterpiece.

This is why I emphasised to watch the live performance first rather than listening - seeing the musicianship quality and the unique David Byrne gives it a real different perspective and I admire them a lot more than I would have.

Here comes the avalanche of overly high scoring............ ;-)

It’s personal.
I won’t bore you with the back story.
I’m sure I’ve posted it before anyway.
I’d possibly deduct one point for the cd as I think it needs the visuals of the dvd.

I said “might” :) But I’m gonna quibble . . . . that’s a collection of live recordings, not a concert. It’s culled from 10 years; SMS is 2 nights, same tour. He’s arguably the best live artist in rock — certainly one of them. But I’m not sure that counts.

It might not be - depends on who you ask really.......... ;-)

Well, obviously it's subjective, but I take your point. The main difference being that whether you like his music or not, he turns up, plays songs, some fast, some slow, some long, some short. From what I've heard of the Talking Heads concert, they played a few half-decent tunes to start the concert off, and then dicked around with keyboards for 3/4 of the running time.

Another Talking Heads effort - Clarkie BH..........? ;-)

Not had them in over 5 months !
