1979 Talking Heads at the Philadelphia Zoo

by Christina Baer, Bellmawr, NJ

I was 17 years old and went to the Phila. Zoo after-hours to see the Talking Heads. It was so bizarre because the zoo was closed, I went with my husband (yes, I was married at 16 1/2, don’t ask me why, I still do not know why). Anyway it was the best time ever, the only song I remember is “Psycho Killer.”

Is there anyone out there who went to that show? Did it really happen? I wish I could remember who else went with us. Oh well, that is one of my best times ever.

    I was there! They played in front of the elephant and baby statue that’s fenced-in now and it was drizzling. That’s about all I remember, except I thought it was a great show.
