On this day in live music history (1-31-78): If the date I have for this show is correct, and I think it is, this was recorded just before Mark Knopfler and the band had recorded anything in the studio… ever.  Their self titled debut came out in October of ‘78 and was recorded in February of ‘78 (the same month I was born, I might add).  Doing a little research on this show has also led me to find that this was actually an opening act slot for the hot new wave band from New York and was doing their first tour of England. Of course I am speaking of the Talking Heads.
