Talking Heads – The Warning Sign: Live in Canada, 1980 (12-Inch Album)

This album captures Talking Heads’ seminal performance at the Heatwave Festival, held at Mosport Park, in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada, on 23 August 1980.

The show marked the debut of their expanded ten-piece lineup – including Adrian Belew and Bernie Worrell – transitioning from a quartet to a funk-driven, polyrhythmic ensemble ahead of the release of Remain in Light.

Blending tight funk grooves with art-rock experimentation, this electrifying set captures the band at a creative and kinetic peak.

Featured tracks include Psycho Killer, Once in a Lifetime, Crosseyed and Painless, Life During Wartime, Take Me to the River and many more.
