On This Day, February 6, 1984…<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Talking Heads\u00a0<\/strong>performed their last-ever concert at the Sweetwaters South Festival in Christchurch, New Zealand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 12-song set featured such classic songs as \u201cPsycho Killer,\u201d \u201cMaking Flippy Floppy,” “Swamp,” \u201cBurning Down the House\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

The show didn\u2019t go off without a hitch, though: Drummer\u00a0Chris Frantz\u00a0<\/strong>revealed that frontman\u00a0David Byrne\u00a0<\/strong>walked off the stage midset and had to be dragged back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the Talking Heads never toured again, they did go on to record three more albums. And while this was their final concert ever, they briefly reunited to perform for their induction into the Rock\u00a0& Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, delivering “Psycho Killer,” “Life During Wartime,” Burning Down the House” and an all-star jam of “Take Me to the River.”<\/p>\n

All members of Talking Heads reunited\u00a0in\u00a0September for an appearance at the Toronto Film Festival to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their iconic concert film,\u00a0Stop Making Sense<\/em>. A 4K restoration of the\u00a0film was subsequently released in theaters.<\/p>\n
