Of course not everyone can be into a band that will play The Beatles "The White Album", The Who's "Quadrophenia", Talking Heads "Remain in Light" and The Velvet Undergrounds "Loaded" in their entirety... but I enjoyed them quite nicely.
Best live band of the last 20 years (hands down).

Hands down? Whatever. You need to be on Phish board, jokerhead. Sonic Youth slays them like nobody's business. The Jesus Lizard, Camper Van Beethoven, the
actual Talking Heads & many others are better live as well.
I never saw Talking Heads live in the flesh, just on video & on bootlegs & they were great.
You mentioned some of their happenin' covers & I like their taste in music & their live shows were fun, & certainly nobody's doubting that they can run circles around the tritonic, but I saw Phish more times that most people & I saw them for $3 when they jumped on mini-trampolines all the time. By the time I stopped seeing them when they came through Athens (which they did so much you would have thought they were a local band) they were charging $6.
I distinctly remembering listening to them outside when they were up to charging $10.
I have fond memories of over at a dealer's place who lived adjacent to Widepread Panic's practice space & we would make fun of them & listen to something like Sonic Youth, Ween, Stereolab or Mudhoney & blast it loud enough that we couldn't hear those creepy fucks.
