MGMT Performs 'This Must Be the Place' by Talking Heads - First Concert

Before the live performance of "This Must be the Place (Talking Heads)," MGMT had released their self-titled third studio album in September 2013. This album marked a significant shift in their sound, moving away from the pop-influenced style of their earlier work, such as the hit album "Oracular Spectacular" (2007) and "Congratulations" (2010). The live recording showcases MGMT's evolving musical direction, as they often paid homage to various influences, including the Talking Heads. Interestingly, MGMT has always prided themselves on their eclectic tastes, which is reflected in their live performances often featuring a blend of covers and original material. This particular concert highlights their willingness to experiment with different genres and styles, signaling a broader artistic exploration during this phase of their career.
