This is another great show from the Adrian Belew era of the Talking Heads.

The filming is much different than the Germany show from the same tour - this is much more in your face and the Italians use many different and interesting camera angles.

This is sourced from a direct capture of the May 2005 rebroadcast on Italian television. The rebroadcast did not include the last song "The Great Curve," however. Osky Productions remastered and color corrected the footage for the "The Great Curve" from the original version of this show. Silver Stallion Productions (seemlessly) edited the two pieces together for the final production. There is a noticeable difference in audio volume between the two.
