The instrumental song is introduced by David Byrne as “Theme” and never developed into a complete song. Talking Heads played two sets at legendary venue CBGB’s that night, opening both times for Television. The recording if of the first Talking Heads set of that night. It’s unknown whether it was played during the second set as well. David Byrne introduces the track as “We call it ‘Theme,’ but then we just keep it to ourselves.”

David Byrne Delivers A Bucket-List Tiny Desk With A Full Band In Tow

David Byrne has spent more than four decades redefining what a live performance can be, so the notion of squeezing his latest touring ensemble into NPR's famously cramped Tiny Desk seemed, at first, close to impossible. Byrne's shows have long been known for their sprawling casts, precision choreography and inventive use of non-traditional instrumentation. From Stop Making Sense through to American Utopia, the artistic director in him has always demanded more space, more movement and more sonic experimentation. Yet, remarkably, his Tiny Desk appearance proved that even a dozen musicians playing everything from marimba and cello to timbau and zabumba can still operate with Byrne's trademark clarity, humour and discipline.
