I AM THERE!
I put this CD on my surround sound and feel like I am there, burnin' down the house. Great for every body who was born in the 70's. Keep on jammin.

Peace!

Special Edition rights some serious wrongs.
This 1999 redeems the original release, which only had 9 songs and not in the order in which they were actually performed in the monumental live performance filmed by Jonathan Demme.

To hear the whole set list played in the intended order - and believe me, the order matters as anyone who's seen the film knows - is to relive the film, and that's a very, very good thing.

And if you never saw the film, Netflix it.

If you're already a Heads fan, this '99 issue is a great way to introduce a needy friend to one of the bands from the late 70's and 80's that really *mattered.*

Still not complete -
I would just buy the DVD or VHS tape and make a recording from that, because they have left off Cities and I Zimbra. Frankly, Cities and I Zimbra are some of the best songs from that concert, and leaving them off the re-issue is a shame. Sorry to say, this album does not do the film justice.

Not a download genius, but dissappointed
After watching the DVD I knew this is one of the best albums I've ever heard. In my rush for instant gratification I skipped the wait for a CD and downloaded the album. While the clarity itself isn't an issue, the files are full of skips and glitches. They aren't a RAM issue as they occur at the same place regardless of what other work my system is doing. I don't know if this is a file problem, a server problem or what, but if I could I would totally ask for my money back as it is basically impossible to listen without being distracted.

On the plus side, amazon's support center was ridiculously fast and helpful with getting me around my work's content filter...

Good album but ultimately a disappointment
I love the movie "Stop Making Sense" and was always frustrated that so little of the music was available on the soundtrack album. When I saw this CD on Amazon, my heart soared. After listening to it a half dozen times or so, I have to say it is somewhat of a disappointment. The music is far inferior to the that in the movie. The remastering has stripped a lot of the soul out of the music. Today I watched and listened to my old VHS tape of the movie and was blown away by how much better the music is on the tape than on this CD. The "digital remastering" of this soundtrack has definitely watered down the music. If you don't believe me, listen to the original version through a good stereo. Also, many of the songs on the CD are edited down, to the detriment of the music. Ultimately though, these are quibbles because it is still a good album. It just could have been a lot better if it had been true to the music in the original movie.
