    Ed performing with a couple of Italian musicians, Fausto Casara (drums) and Francesco Aliotta (bass) at the Goa Club in Rome, Italy on December 4, 1996.

    There was a language barrier between them but Ed has said he was able to communicate what he wanted to get out of their performances with colors, pictures, images, etc.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    "Me knowing the truth, I can not concur."

    12/04/96 - Goa Club: Rome, Italy [75m]
    attendance: 250
    set: Off He Goes (Ed solo), The Kids Are Alright, I Can't Explain, My Generation, Corduroy, Immortality, MFC, Not for You, (Crazy Mary), Love->Building On Fire, Lukin, Next to You, Rearviewmirror, Rock 'n Roll Star, Improv, Around the Bend, Rockin' in the Free World

    notes: Apparently an "invite only" gig at this tiny club, Ed plays another unexpected set, accompanied by Italian musicians Fausto Casara (drums) and Francesco Aliotta (bass). This intriguing setlist is played with great enthusiasm and with few pauses except for frequent guitar tuning changes. The largely Italian crowd sings along in a great mood. An unusual slow starting version of The Who's 'My Generation' (with a lyrical substitution of "why don't you all fuck off?") followed by an initially almost unrecognizable fast version of 'Corduroy' are delightful. 'Immortality' features a slow start and Ed has the guitar solo here, a rarity. A 'Jeremy' riff is played before Ed announces, "This is a new song ... my favorite new song right now," leading to 'MFC,' a new, fast paced, short rocker, inspired by the traffic in Rome (which later appears on Yield). (482k)
    'Love -> Building On Fire,' the Talking Heads' first release, is a rare surprise. After having fun with a funky guitar tab on The Police song, 'Next to You,' and Ed's enthusiasm on 'RVM' briefly leaves his new bandmates in the dust initially, until he slows down, makes a quick apology and they continue together. Ed is in rare form here ... he apparently wasn't ready to end the tour after the wonderful Lisbon shows and this performance is a real treat!
  • i like this version better!!!
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    I have this show on VCD from many, many year's back. :)
    Audio was a little out of sync.
