Talking Heads/B52s Dr Pepper Concerts/ Central Park August 16, 1979

Talking Heads performed at the Dr. Pepper Concert series in Central Park in August, 1979 but what is, for me, even more memorable than the concert, which I believe we listened to from beyond the fencing in the park, was the fact that it was the same night we went to see the Rust Never Sleeps movie at the Palladium. Each of us received the Rust Never Sleeps concert poster (for free) and a pair of Rust-O-Vision 3D glasses so we could watch Neil Young and Crazy Horse melt onstage (at least in theory). The movie was so great that I also went to see it at the Palladium on August 18 and August 19, 1979. I still have my cardboard Rust-O-Vision glasses and the movie poster is framed and hanging on my basement wall.
