It’s been almost 40 years to the date since the release of “Stop Making Sense,” one of the most revered indie concert documentaries in history. A24 is even bringing a restored version of it to theaters.

For one night only, Bay area musicians in the Road To Nowhere Talking Heads tribute band will recreate it, note by note, in full costume, too.

And if you need to hear a song that didn’t make the 1984 film, don’t fret: Tampa Bay community radio station WMNF 88.5-FM has booked three more bands to play Heady tunes to warm up the crowd.

Tickets to the “Stop Making Sense” Talking Heads tribute concert at Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa on Saturday, Nov. 2. are still available and start at $20.
