Midnights at The Baxter: "In Concert"

Unlike last week's double feature for this week's Midnight at The Baxter this Saturday night you've got a choice to make. Though not quite on the same existential level as "Elvis or The Beatles" it's still a tough choice. That choice is do you want to see The Beatles in "A Hard Day's Night" or do you want to see The Talking Heads in "Stop Making Sense".

Both musical flicks will be showing this Saturday November 24 at Midnight and you can only pick one.

Here's a little knowledge from wikipedia to help you with your choice:

A Hard Day's Night is a British comedy film originally released by United Artists, written by Alun Owen and starring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr during the height of Beatlemania. The director was Richard Lester, the producer Walter Shenson and the director of photography Gilbert Taylor. In addition to the Beatles, cast members included Wilfrid Brambell as Paul's grandfather, who was billed as "also starring" after the main title, Norman Rossington as their manager, John Junkin as "Shake," Lionel Blair as a featured dancer, Victor Spinetti as the television director and in cameos David Langton, John Bluthal as a car thief and Derek Nimmo in an uncredited role as Leslie Jackson (a magician). The album A Hard Day's Night was the Beatles' first soundtrack album and the only Beatles' album to consist entirely of Lennon and McCartney songs. The film premiered on July 6, 1964.

Stop Making Sense is the highly acclaimed 1984 concert movie featuring Talking Heads live on stage. Directed by Jonathan Demme, it was shot over three nights in December 1983, as the group was touring to promote their new album Speaking in Tongues. The movie is notable for being the first made entirely utilising digital audio techniques. The band raised the budget of $1.2 million themselves.
