The Talking Heads with opener B52’s played the Wollman Rink venue and as I recall it was a night spent on the boulders outside the Dr Pepper Concert in Central Park. While we never did actually see the bands perform, this evening is especially memorable as it was the first of three nights that we went to The Paladium to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse in the Rust Nevee Sleeps movie. In addition to receiving an official movie poster, we were given our 3D-like Rust-O-Vision glasses so that the audience could watch the band rust on screen. Rust Never Sleeps ranks up there with The Band’s Last Waltz as one of the greatest rock and roll movies of all time.
The Rust Never Sleeps movie poster has followed me to every residence I have lived in since 1979 and is currently framed and hanging on my basement wall.
There’s More to the Picture than Meets the Eye.
Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World
