Ok, I edited part 3 to remove the track 'Slippery People' and it is now accepted.

Part 6 is still a no-go though. What you're missing is the encore at Wembley where they played 'Crosseyed and Painless'.

And the credits.

you're welcome. sadly parts 3 and 6 have been blocked wordwide by a copyright holder who has done nothing with this documentary since its original screening but has the rights to it. A DVD release would be fantastic

@RSFRITH My cassette snapped years ago, sadly! An amazing document(ary) though, I still think this combination of live & "found" footage is the best on screen representation of Talking Heads there's ever been, it's better than Stop Making Sense if you ask me...

I still have this on VHS and have always hoped it would appear on DVD. Still bring it out sometimes and give it a play.

I'm so glad this is available. I've been waiting for someone to put this on for years!
