It would have to be Phish that did the Halloween show.
When you were here, did I happen to show you that DVD of the heads with Belew?
You are correct, sir. Bonus question - what was the costume I wore?
No, I don't recall that DVD. Where and when was the show?
I know one of them...Brian Eno..Brian Eno...produced Remain In Light. (Just about my favorite Heads album, what with Robert Palmer, Nona Hendryx, and Adrian Belew making appearances...and Crosseyed And Painless and Once In A Lifetime making me dance in my seat!) Oh wait. Is Nona the LaBelle member you refer to?
I'm sticking with the debut album as my favorite of theirs, though. They really hammered the New Wave sound home to me.
Yew prolly dressed as a YANKEE.
I'll have to look up the specifics when I get home.
I knew the Brian Eno (legend!) question... but none of the others :-(
A Yankee? Like the baseball playin' Yankees (BOOOO!) or the pilgrim Yankees?
If it's the baseball team, I'll have to be a psycho killer...fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa. RUN AWAAAAAAY.
Pardon that. I'm completely mental!
No Yankee, baseball or otherwise. I was a shemale, NOT in the sexual sense. I had very long hair and a beard, so I trimmed half my head and face and sewed half a dress to half a men's shirt. If I can find the pics I'll post 'em up on my Flickr.
nat - you got Eno AND Nona!
RIL is definitely my fave TH album. It broke ground for African rhythms in white folk pop. Houses In Motion is probably my favorite track on it.
Cheezy - I kinda had the impression this would be right up your alley.
