I would not consider myself a fan of The Talking Heads. But this entire filmed concert is one of the best musical performances I’ve ever seen.

I am always SOOOO FREAKING HAPPY when someone discovers Talking Heads and really gets what a treasure they are

Head guy , David Byrne, said he is on the autism spectrum. He is clearly a musical genius. He can perform at this high energy pace for an entire concert. His band manages to keep up with him. He is brilliant! and the music he creates is unique and compelling.

"I truly believe you've got to be a little bit crazy to make music this good" - that is spot on in describing this band!

The entire Stop Making Sense movie/concert (which this clip is from) is worth a watch just to see the show start off simple, then just build and build.

Tina Weymouth, the bassist, is an absolute legend. She lays down the most amazing groove on everything she does. She has her own band called Tom Tom Club. Check out their track "Genius of Love" sometime.

This is no joke, one of the greatest concerts ever filmed. Watch the whole thing. It's amazing and such an art piece.

I’m envious of anybody watching this for the first time because I remember how blown away I was. The whole band are just incredible, so original and so talented. Brilliant.

TINA WEYMOUTH IS AN ICONIC BASSIST. 💯🔥

The guy on keys was Bernie Worrell, who also played keys for Parliament Funkadelic.

Every time I see this video I just can't get over the two ladies singing backup. They are giving it their all physically and aren't looking bored like some additional voices on stage can ♥

A feel-good band singing about life during war time? I love it.

I've watched "Stop Making Sense" dozens of times in the last 40 years. I never tire of it. Amazing concert video.

Tina Weymouth on the bass and that groove she laid down…🤘🏼🤘🏼🙌🏼 When you get the chance, watch the full “Stop Making Sense” concerto - mind blowingly fantastic! Thanks for the share!

David Byrne is anabsolute genius!

If you like this then you will love it when he puts on the "big suit", sings and "dances". I LOVE this concert.

Talking Heads is a great rabbit hole to go down. They were a very talented group that were very influential for later bands, both musically & visually (they were a bunch of Rhode Island School of Design kids after all). "Stop Making Sense" was the concert film that was taken from, & was directed by the late, great Jonathan Demme, who also directed Philadelphia & Silence Of The Lambs.

Once in a Lifetime, Psycho Killer, This Must Be the Place, I Zimbra, Listening Wind, Nothing But Flowers, And She Was, Blind, Road To Nowhere are all great songs out of so many. There version of Take Me to the River is one of the best covers. ALL of Stop Making Sense is brilliant. Such an incredible concept for a concert.

New wave and punk were where I went as mainstream music went down the paths of disco and the likes of Van Halen. I saw TH, b-52s, Elvis Costello, many others live in small venues in the late '70s & early '80s. They're one pillar of my musical foundations, with Talking Heads at the core of this pillar.

I was fortunate to have attended two of the nights they filmed this at The Pantages Theater. I was a senior in high school and had seen Talking Heads several times previously, but this particular tour was so well choreographed and the sound quality was superb! REALLY wish they would unite for more shows!

This whole concert is phenomenal. The staging, the track list, everything. It really is the ultimate concert performance. Thankfully it’s all captured on film. 100% worth reacting to from start to finish, or at least watching it in your own time. Cannot possibly be disappointed. Track by track the band come out until the full band is on stage and doing this. David Byrne the front man with all the energy!

Watch the whole concert. It's worth every second and I defy you to stop smiling through the whole thing. My face ached from grinning ear to ear. It was incredible.

They were ( and are) amazing musicians. I saw them play live and HOLY BABY JESUS, it was the best show ever

"Stop Making Sense" is the best concert film ever made. Enjoyable and original from beginning to end.

The full concert filmed (during 3 nights) by Jonathan Denme is going to be in 4k in theatres/cinemas again. This is a must for any music real lover. And! There's also a David Byrne's "American Utopia" (by Spike Lee) for your enjoyment with songs by TH and various musical adventures by Byrne. The staging is a marvel!

This was one of the best concerts I was ever privileged to witness in person! Just amazing. ❤. Hearing you were born in 83 makes me feel so old….

Masterpiece filmed event. Certainly a top 5 concert film of all time. Perfect storm of musical and visual talent from a band at their creative peak.

Talking Heads were an absolute revelation for this small town kid back in the day. What a great fusion of funk, rock and avant garde! Still love them.

My favorite Talking Heads song, and a brilliant performance. The bassist is a killer.

That bass... Tina Weymouth. An absolute talent and treat to listen to!

Tina Weymouth is one of the greatest bassists, she still plays as well today as she did in the 70's and 80's. She's 72 years old now. David Byrne is a musical genius, and he always has something fun up his sleeve for the live shows. You should check out "Burning Down the House" "Wild Wild Life" "Once in a Lifetime" "And She Was" "Road To Nowhere " to mention a few. Glad you enjoyed this, they've always been one of my favorites. I graduated high school in '82' so this brings back a lot of great memories. Take care and stay safe. ❤ & ✌️

Great selection! This concert was designed to be filmed by director Johnathan Demme. It starts out w/Byrne alone on stage and slowly adds ppl, sets, instruments, etc as each song is performed. One of the great concert films of all time. Thanks Polo!

Well, this dates me, but I was at this concert. Incredible energy. My favorite Talking Heads album came out in 78,More Songs About Buildings and Food.

This performance is from what is widely considered the best live performance concert ever. It's called "Stop Making Sense"and you should definitely watch / listen to it someday

I love Tina watching at 6:30 like "what's he up to?". Proves that David's stage moves weren't all rehearsed.

I saw them one time, at Forest Hills Stadium, August 19, 1983. They rocked. The whole stadium was electrified with their energy. l recall David running around the stage as he does here. It was an amazing show.

This entire concert is amazing, every song is better than the last one, or the next one...

I had the awesome experience to see this phenomenal band in the early stages of their beginnings at a club, many old timers would know about in NYC, called CBGB's back in 1976. As a young dude at 22, I was starry-eyed when I met my first ever female bassist. Tina Weymouth blew me away. She also went on the perform with her own group, a side project, called The Tom Tom Club. The drummer Chris Frantz is also her husband and played drums for the Club. Thanks Polo for sharing this awesome concert and reaction. Looking forward to more of this content from you. Stop Making Sense the concert is incredible to witness.

My dad was born in 1981 and he is 42 years young. He loves 60s,70s,80s and 90s music. We bond over it. We love this song.

We need music like this today. There’s a lot of things that sucked in the 80s but the music created a good vibe for everyone.

You owe it to yourself to watch the entire movie "Stop Making Sense". Its one of the best concert movie's ever made.

Like other people have said, TH was a large part of making new wave huge and was a big influence on other bands. David Byrne, the leader, is a mad genius whose ideas and innovations were historic. You should also note that Tina Weymouth was an amazing bass player in a time when female bassists were almost unheard of and probably still are. Check out Girlfriend Is Better from this same concert/movie, so you can see how much they used rhythm and killer beats to create their sound.

Literally some of the most amazing lyrics ever put to a song. And they feel more and more relevant with each passing year.

This is one of those instances where the live recording beats the studio hands down. Something about the frenetic nature of the running makes it crazy good.

I was 16 in 1983 and we saw this movie at the midnight show. Amazing and you need to watch the entire movie! Best concert movie ever .

You should consider watching this whole concert video. In my opinion one of the best live shows ever caught on tape. It’s called Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense. It is fantastic the whole show starts as a blank stage and David Byrne comes out with a boom box and an acoustic guitar and destroys “Physco Killer” and then as the show goes on they gradually build in the rest of the stage. Highly recommend !!

You know I grew up on this at the time of the New Wave and all that and I still think that bunches like the Talking Heads or the Specials or Tom Tom Club or the Selecter or English Beat or Fun Boy Three that had blacks and whites playing and writing together were the absolute top musically and still are in regards to the cultural synergy these groups were able to reach. Truth is it was pure magic and for me and the other punks and weirdos of my gen simply the norm. So sad we live in a world where this is not much possible because we are all missing out on so much. Thanks God all these people were so brave. Needless to say none of them had it easy. Never stop praying that these vibes and open attitudes come back and everybody just chills. Peace out!

As Rick James once said, cocaine is a helluva drug. 😂

I think it's worth noting that David Bryne, the lead singer, is on the autism spectrum and I 100% think that's part of why they've got such a dynamic, different sort of sound than most bands. His quirky singing combined with the rest of the band's (esp Tina, the bassist) outstanding playing just makes this an outstanding band.

They were a great, very original band - and the movie from with this is taken (Stop Making Sense) is one of the most well constructed and executed concert films of all time.

Stop Making Sense is such an iconic concert movie. After 40 years, it still holds up. Burning Down The House is my ring tone.

This is probably the best piece of talking heads media to me ever produced.

From one music lover to another, you need this whole concert in your life. It changed my life, honestly. You don’t have to react to it, but watch it. I wasn’t even a Talking Heads fan before I watched it. It’s a movie called “Stop Making Sense” directed by Jonathan Demme. It’s just a concert, but it’s amazing. It starts with David Byrne, the singer on the first song. Then every song they add a new member. It sounds crazy, but it’s sooooo entertaining. I’ve watched it hundreds of times. This song is with the full band. Don’t be like me and watch it late in life. Cheers! ❤

Best rock movie ❤ Amazing band.

Born in 83 like my first born son. I was an early Talking Heads fan from 1977. Scottish born David Byrne is an on the spectrum autism genius songwriter and performer. They were so funky. This is an art performance. It was the 80's. Brought in a world music vibe, working with Brian Eno has a huge influence on their work, too. And Bassist Tina Wymouth created the funkiest bass lines. I listen to only all of Talking Heads right through most of the 80's. A deep catalogue. Watch their live in Rome concert too. Burning Down the House is one of my faves,

I am a huge fan of the Talking Heads, and when this video came out in the 80's I was amazed. Loved it my whole life. Such a talented band.

Saw David Byrne last year on Broadway with his American Utopia show. Man still is a great performer. If you get a chance, give it a watch.

Any and all Talking Heads music is excellent...just keep going. You won't find anything you dont love!

Stephen Colbert just interviewed Talking Heads on their 40th anniversary. They have a film coming out on IMAX. For those of you who don’t know, the drummer and female guitarist have been married to each other for 40 years. Interesting tidbit. I was in the military as was Tina’s father. He was a Navy Admiral and we happen to both have the same auto insurance company…USAA. Years ago when Tina and Chris were living in San Antonio where USAA is headquartered, their magazine did an article on the couple. I remember she was holding a gorgeous turquoise guitar.

I saw the Talking Heads on this tour in San Francisco, at the Warfield Theater, with the English Beat opening. It was the single greatest show I have ever seen (and I have seen 100's of shows). The power and positive energy was absolutely electric, and the crowd felt that electricity and seemed to dance right along with the band. I'm so glad you liked it. Burning Down the House and Take me to the River are must listens for sure.

Amazing live show. Whole thing is worth watching. Girlfriend is Better is an absolute banger in this performance.

Eccentric is the best way to describe The Talking Heads!! I hope Life During Wartime isn’t a prophecy that will be soon fulfilled 😢. One of my all time fave’s

Talking Heads' album 'Remain in the Light' is flawless, a marriage of rock and electro effects that is astonishingly fertile, moving, excellent to dance to, and unique. Do give it a go dear Polo.

The amount of energy of The Talking Heads of this performance was incredibly fun & the crowd had a great time watching that performance. You have any questions 😂

This was the soundtrack of my college years and it changed my taste in music. TH were all individually brilliant musicians and this concert will go down in history as one of best live performances of all time. Stop Making Sense is an experience you won’t regret 🙏🏼

Now you're into my favorite keep on going with this concert you won't be disappointed😊❤❤❤❤

I saw this concert live. It still is the best I've ever seen, and I've been close to 2,000 live shows. Not 1 person sat down the whole show, just dancing for 2 straight hrs.

This song and a number of their albums are absolute classics! Such a classic live performance.

One of the GREATEST 80'S BANDS. ✌️

Performance art at its best. The genius of David Byrne.

This entire concert is absolutely amazing... "Stop Making Sense" musical theater

I’ve loved the Talking Heads since the first time I heard them back in 77. I just recently turned my 23-year-old son onto them and he loves him just as much.

Such a strong band and this is one amazing film. Definitely have a good sound system for best results.

I'm a huge fan of the Talking Heads. My dad had this show on VHS as a kid and I remember I was maybe 5 when I had my first memory of "oh my God. I wanna be this guy" and ever since then I have been a pretty animated guy. I can't sing as well as him, but I can hold a tune decently. One of my all time favorites.

This album was my getting ready to go out soundtrack - especially Slippery People.

I've been hoping you would discover the Talking Heads. I love everything I've ever heard by them

One of the most entertaining bands ever. Jethro Tull would be another band that is amazing live.

I always liked talking heads but when they added those funky players it took it all to another level! Great playing!!

Yes! You got to do Psyco Killer or Once in a Life Time, next and Burning Down the House is their big hit but it's a hit for a reason

An amazing part of true performance art and powerful music. Ultimate performers, none can compare to their total energy

Love these -- keep on the beautiful work!

David Byrne and Freddie Mercury from Queen IMHO put on the greatest stage shows ever. They are both great compsers, writers, directors and and musicians. David has this crazy ability to run around stage for 2 hrs and never miss a breath or a note while singing his artistic mind is unbelivelible. Thank you for doing this one haven't thought about them in years gonna watch the whole concert now...peace

The whole concert was amazing.

This is from one of the greatest concert films ever. If you ever get the chance, watch the whole thing from start to end. It tells a story.

So I have seen Stop Making Sense in a movie theater several times...including seeing it the evening it opened...and the intensity of the movie and this song in particular is hard to describe. More than once, when Byrne takes off and starts running around the stage, most of the audience in the movie theater starts running as well...up the aisles, through the lobby...and the audience is on their feet and dancing for the rest of the show. The musical adventure that got the original Talking Heads lineup to THIS is truly amazing. They started out as a stripped down quartet of art students with stage fright. Between working with producer Brian Eno and Adrian Belew, the influences of Fela Kuti, and then stack the band with funk masters like Bernie Worrell (synth), Alex Weir (guitar), and Steve Scales (percussion) they truly caught lightning in a bottle. Stop Making Sense is where it all comes together for all to see. I do think it is worth listening to "Remain In Light". Also check out the double album "The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads" which consists of live tracks, many featuring Adrian Belew on guitar.

The gold standard for concerts. Best one i have never seen 😅 and this music rocks hard

It's a performance for the ages. The energetic ad lib choreography elevates an already excellent song to a new wave masterpiece. I'm equally perplexed at how they can play so tightly while jumping around and whatnot.

Yessss, Thank you Polo. This is one of My favorite songs and especially videos to watch. David Byrne is a Genius!! So glad you liked it. ❤️❤️

My man I just found your channel. Love it. You absolutely owe it to yourself to watchi this whole concert film, Stop Making Sense. It's filled with bangers and weirdo peformance art. Absolute classic.

I'm a new subscriber. I've watched maybe ten or so of your videos, enjoyed them all. But so excited to see Talking Heads here. So much more for you to hear (and watch). Many thanks

Widely considered the greatest concert film of all time. I’ve never known anyone who didn’t think it was great.

You got the best introduction possible brother. I like a lot of their live performances even better than the studio ones. A lot of band don't fare well live but they stand out. Glad you did this one.

I absolutely love the talking heads. So much creativity and an amazing catalogue

Love The Talking Heads, love this song! Wow what a performance, I’m exhausted just watching this video and I have to take a nap now ! Lol

It was 1980 when a friend (still a close friend😊) introduced me to 'Remain in Light'. That record blew my mind and opened myself up for a wise scale of music. Later i got the feeling that this record defined the decade. I saw Talking Heads in the very early 80ies at Cologne (Germany) when a couple of songs of the 'Stop Making Sense' tour where not even released on a record. 'Talking Heads' are still one of my favourite bands and i really think, that music aged very well.

For a totally different take on the dichotomy of this song, read the lyrics. It's about the harshness of life during wartime.

I am so glad you enjoyed and APPRECIATED this great performance by Talking Heads!!! This whole concert is amazing! David Byrne, and his bandmates are brilliant! Peace!

I was an early adopter of Talking Heads... I am very glad that you found them. They changed the world of music with their art - and only kept getting better

Love this band, this concert is so great but they have a ton of great studio tracks
