Agree 100% on Talking Heads being new wave, especially when the era began around 1977, and they are far & away the best, both for the music and the shows (UB 1983!)
From the poll, I’ve seen:
B-52s in their prime & then opening for the Stones at Radio City - fun times
Depeche Mode - incredibly lame opening for the great-in-their-prime Psychedelic Furs (Forever Now tour). Right up there with Steve Perry as the worst front man I’ve ever seen (and no, thankfully I’ve never seen Dave Matthews).
Echo - great show in some hall on Yonge St. in their prime.
