i love this early stuff. i can't even explain how this perfomance makes me feel. and i liked the editing. it made me move, even if it was from seizures.

It's so cool to hear a band do different renditions of their material.This is much more entertaining than "put the needle on the record".

Very nice, except the crappy editing that makes you even more epeleptic than most movies nowadays.

Thank you very much for posting. I had the pleasure of seeing TH in CBGB's in the summer of 1977. We left the bar at 3 am singing Psycho Killer through the Bowery. In those days it was rare to even be able to understand the lyrics of a new band, let alone remember them. I loved the stripped down version of TH and this video captures it beautifully.

Best track on "More Songs About......", in my opinion - wonder why they didn't record it for the first album ?

Wow, this is before David Byrne sounded like David Byrne.

The only interview I've seen of him was early, and he looked TERRIFIED to be on TV... he seems really petrified singing here too.

Cheerleader by Grizzly Bear sounds similar to this...

Yeah, it does. Both of them are good bassists too.
