easily one of the best concert videos of all time -- and like i've been saying, Spike Lee has filmed the newest David Byrne (lead singer here) concert on Broadway, and it airs tomorrow night on HBO/Amazon for one night. sometime later it should be for sale, but who knows when. the newest concert they did everything wireless so the entire band moves around the whole stage dancing the entire time. i love your reaction to this, man. and Bernie Worrell from Parliament/Funkadelic on keys back there, laying down that funk. and the lyrics for "Life During Wartime" are great too -- it's a whole little movie in that song. another great track from the Talking Heads is "Nothing But Flowers," came out a little later than this one. thanks, Jamel!

"Stop Making Sense" is an extremely rare case where every single song is performed better live than the studio versions. It's my personal favorite concert film. David Byrne is a true artistic genius. Not sure if you found out what happened to them, but it was a pretty messy breakup (after the rest f the band finally figured out David wasn't coming back). Lawsuits and such. But they were able to get back together for the RRHOF induction and that seems to be about it. They're not on friendly terms. Check out Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love." I'd recommend the actual music video in this case due to the funky animation.

It was his idea to make the entire show and aerobicise show. It had nothing to do with him being some kind of a fitness freak . Just another brilliant idea from a brilliant mind . Thus the continuous movement. Now David Byrne and his sheer funkiness is just a force of nature.

Sometimes when bands bring on extra people it really doesn't do what was done in this concert.

As much as some people seem to think of Talking Heads as being David Byrne (and he is incredibly talented), a lot of the Talking Heads sound is in Tina Weymouth‘s excellent bass and she kills it on this song. The whole band was great. Also, as good as these individual songs were on their original albums, they were truly elevated by the Stop Making Sense live show, and this is one of my two all-time favourite live albums, along with “12 Years of Tears” from Marc Almond.

I saw Talking Heads back at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ, in ‘78 or ‘79. It was just the basic four. I brought my Dad; and he thought they were good, but he thought they were boring. They just stood and played their instruments, and they did that really well. Tbh, I preferred that to this big production. I’d been to CBGB (that sure was an experience), but not MUDD (even though I had friends who’d played there). I’ve also seen Tom Tom Club at Irving Plaza much later. They were opening for the Psychedelic Furs (who were amazing, btw). And the last two tunes they did were “Take Me To The River” and “Psycho Killer”. They were so low key compared to this. But it was perfect. I still think Tina is amazing, just as I did when I first heard ‘77. 💜💜💜

There is no music in this generation that can match what we had in the 70's and 80's.......the uniqueness of so many bands and types of music were incredible.

@gloamlady34513 жыл бұрын
I think music has evolved to look and sound different, but it didn't get any less genuine and unique from band to band, at least if you turn your head away from the mainstream. People like Lemon Demon, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Death Grips, Ariel Pink, Yamantaka//Sonic Titan, MGMT, the list goes on. Only difference here these bands almost never cross over into the mainstream, so it's easier to omit them from the bigger picture of what's going on in music right now. But I can assure you people can, and are, matching the greatness you speak of in totally unexpected ways in this generation. Take care, and keep liking whatever you like as long as you get some joy out of it.

They just ran like a half a mile. 😄 Coolest, most creative, fun band ever! BRILLIANT lyrics. Solid groove. I remember when this came out, my friends and I couldn’t get enough of it. Thanks for covering this one. It’s been years (decades) since I’ve seen it, but just watched it 3 times back-to-back.

@meminustherandomgooglenumbers2 жыл бұрын
Most of the black performers are actually members of Parliament/Funkadelic. They put on a lot of legendary shows on their own. My fave might be back in the 1970's when they have a giant UFO slowly descending towards the stage, and the singer is beckoning it to come down to him during the song. I actually saw them live once, in a smaller venue around 1990, they didn't have anything expensive like that, but still a wild show.

You've stepped in it now, brother. I can see you at three, dancing away to this. Any song off "Stop Making Sense" or the "Remain In Light "album is gold. Let's smooth this thing on out with a little slow melody, This Must Be The Place, from this DVD.

Saw Talking Heads at a one-day festival here in New Zealand about the same time as this movie came out, and they pretty much performed what was in the movie. They were fantastic, and topped off a great day (other acts included The Pretenders and Simple Minds). Best music festival I've ever been to. I know you've reacted to "Psycho Killer" before, but the version from Stop Making Sense is so different and effective that it's worth its own reaction.

Alex Weir was my favorite guitarist in the world, for about three years, after seeing this show live in Charlotte NC, 1983. Best live show I've ever attended and then they released a movie version of it, a year later. Wow. It doesn't get any better. I saw the movie, in the theater, twice.

If you have HBO I would recommend tuning in tomorrow night for David Byrnes "American Utopia". Concert film directed by Spike Lee following David's Broadway run of his "American Utopia" show. I saw one performance in 2018, one of the greatest shows I've seen! If you tune in clear the living room because you'll be on your feet dancing!

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see how much you like them. 🤗 You gotta make a trip to Ohio to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! When I went a couple years ago they had a few Talking Heads items but the whole place is educational and fun and has a HUGE catalog of items from artists, costumes, etc. The building itself is really cool too and it’s right next to the football stadium so you could see a game one day and go to the museum for a day or two. Seriously you would love it!
