Maybe 150 people attended. Towards the end of the show, the band did a great cover of Al Green's cover of Take Me to the River. (The original version was by Little Johnny Taylor). After the show, an exhausted David Byrne was sitting by himself in a booth and I went over to tell him how great his Al Green song was. He seemed really surprised by this, so I called some other people over, and they all confirmed my opinion. A few months later, the song was released as a single and became a nice hit.
