The full band hasn't played together since their final show in Christchurch, New Zealand on February 6, 1984. That's 40 years of quiet from these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, making this social media tease set off a wave of excitement among fans.
In '75, three musicians started what would become Talking Heads. David Byrne and Chris Frantz took a chance on Tina Weymouth, who had never played bass before. Jerry Harrison came on board later, making the legendary quartet complete.
Their first CBGB show featured nine songs, with "Psycho Killer" becoming an immediate fan favorite. Throughout that hot summer of '75, the club became their testing ground.
One memorable night at CBGB had them opening for The Ramones on June 20, 1975. These powerful shows helped shape the growing punk and new wave movement.
Their influence landed them on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time." Hits like "Life During Wartime" and "Once in a Lifetime" became the soundtrack of their peak years.
If they get back together, fans would see something that hasn't happened since the Reagan era - all four original members playing together. The timing feels right: exactly 50 years after their first show.
