When I first saw Talking Heads in 1983 as an 11 year old I didn't think David Byrne was real

David Byrne dancing is one of the things in life that make me so happy. He just fills me with delight when he's totally in his own zone dancing. And it's like an invitation of some kind, like we are presented with the dance in all its precision and urgency , it says you can make space in the world for you rather than trying to fit somewhere. So, when he is dancing it is always a giddy liberation.

@haplessasshole9615 Жыл бұрын

Yes, and if you have ever seen him live, you know it's almost impossible to pass up the invitation. Byrne is walking (and, yes, Talking) proof that, if you do something with enough authority, even dorky dancing and shaggy hot pink suits, it becomes cool.

I’m just hella impressed with all of that kinetic dancing in his totally-buttoned-up furry suit. That’s some impressive devotion to fashion, but I’d expect no less. Edit: ah wait, I spoke too soon. But he used the lyrics, “open up!” to cue taking off his jacket. Smoove! BTW, this is pretty much my favorite Heads song. What a wicked groove!

It bums me out the crowd is so quiet, but I think that's a convention of 90's concert shows. They want the focus on the performer, not on the crowd, when really the energy from both should feed off one another. I get the feeling if they filmed something like this now, the crowd would be going nuts.

@SuperFreedomRock1 6 жыл бұрын

I read that because these were basically Sony label corporate shows, all the "audience" were label execs and a few friends and family. They see big shows and artists all the time and have become numb to amazing performances. I loved this show, though. Some performers were able to overcome the bland reactions, or they tried to egg on the audience because they were so zombified. Check out the Ben Folds Five episode for an absolute killer performance.

I remember exactly where i was when i first heard themThey has such a huge impact on me
