From Stop Making Sense (all rights reserved by not me). One of the greatest songs ever written. Shot at 02:49:00 is gorgeous. Read more here: www.thestacksre...
I used to think Cillian Murphy would be perfect to play David Byrne, but he already decided to be in another movie about life during wartime where a gifted genius unleashes an absolute bomb on the world.
He really would be the perfect actor to play David Byrne! Similarly, Pauly Shore bears an uncanny resemblance to Richard Simmons and was trying to play him in a biopic which would have been hilarious and amazing 😂
Add me to the lucky list of those who saw them on this tour. Red Rocks for me. We were up high ish in the crowd. Still have the visual of the band and the many thousands of us all bouncing up and down in rhythm under the night sky. Never danced so long and so hard ever. I don’t even remember being tired we were all so pumped up and joyful.
It just makes me so happy watching this. The dancing, everyone’s dancing, the fun nature of the song, and the fact that every musician is just brilliant. Amazing stuff.
I'd say this is supposed to be perceived with less fun and more anxiety. I think the running and movement is supposed to make you think about what groups like the ones mentioned in the song go through / feel.
Such energy, there is nothing like this band literally gave everything and left nothing on the stage, certainly once seen, heard and felt never forgotten ❤❤❤
David Byrne is so wild and crazy, in the best way possible & yup, that’s aerobic, there will never be another Talking Heads, they were so cerebral.❤❤❤❤
*Lyrics* Heard of a van that's loaded with weapons Packed up and ready to go Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire, off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message to the receiver Hope for an answer someday I got three passports, a couple of visas You don't even know my real name High on a hillside, the trucks are loading Everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no Mudd Club, or CBGB I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, PA? You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard I ain't got time for that now Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle, so many times now I don't know what I look like You make me shiver, I feel so tender We make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving You ought to get you some sleep Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace The burning keeps me alive
There is nothing like getting your work-out at work. Lots of cardio in this video! The Talking Heads were much better than some realized.... David B. is a madman!!!! These guys are good.......... DAMN what a show!!! 1
Because he believes that more talented groups exist that are way more deserving of a larger audience in comparison to the much more generic music that the masses listen to.
@@imbacchus8098 Nobody is being shat on, I am simply expressing my opinion that this concert is, in my opinion, better than anything Taylor Swift can do. If I were to shit on her, as you put it, I would say that I think her concerts are crap, which they clearly are not. Can you see the difference now ? Also, did you notice the :p at the end. This was to show that it is a joke, a cheeky remark, not to be taken entirely seriously.
“Life During Wartime,” a paranoid political fantasy whose aerobics-class choreography mocks the self-importance of the song’s lyrics and ends with Byrne circling the stage at a dead run, as if in orbit around the band. (The New Yorker)
That band is tighter than a gnat's ass. There is a s***load going on there. All live, no phony-baloney, no backing tracks just a talented and well-rehearsed band kicking some serious ass. This dude is as good as they get...
@@misterwallace3479 Probably for others in the band, but he's autistic. I should probably say, fought through autism. He's wonderfully peculiar, lives in NYC I think and rides his bike everywhere to this day.
Actually, I'll take that back a bit. Those are seasoned, well-rehearsed, top-notch musicians. You can't keep all that going in your head... music, choreography, night after night with a head of full toot.
Feeling the music for it’s time was way ahead For any one that wants to work out lose weight just watch and dance to this album video you only need to do this five minutes a day😊

Extremely difficult to sing while performing this way. Incredible.
How ya think Tina get them legs?
Can’t imagine running in place let alone singing and playing an instrument

The Estate of Richard Simmons is contacting Pauly Shore right now !!
who would you get to play Tina Weymouth? edit - may I suggest Carey Mulligan
You could argue this is the best live performance of anything ever
You could argue that, but instead, you could just say "This is fricken amazing!" and then you wouldn't have to argue.
One of. There are just too many fantastic performances to argue whats the best ever.
no argument here. none better.
🤓 and , perhaps , it could be argued that You have lived a sheltered life .
this is the single best live performance of anything ever. it is unfathomable how they pulled off this whole show.
Coke in the 80s
One night I watched the whole thing. It's pretty amazing and the footage of the spectators leaving is fun. They all witnessed history that night.
You need to get out more.
O@@frankschapmire1471
@@thomcarr7021yeah he needs to get out until he has all the exact same opinions as you.
He probably burned 4,000 calories in this scene
does coke have calories?
He's got some groceries, some peanut butter, to last a couple of days👍
At least!
He didn’t just burn those calories, he fucking Byrned them
He doesn't look like he's got 4000 calories to burn
It is a very appropriate song for these times we are living through . This ain't no party ,this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around!
Wow I know! I really feel it too

@@mattheweagle223 It's happy grim. Makes ya feel good.
@@HungryH1951 lol
The rare time the live version is better.
But holy moly is it actually better.
This is what a band that believes in what they are doing looks like
Such energy, there is nothing like this band literally gave everything and left nothing on the stage, certainly once seen, heard and felt never forgotten ❤❤❤
This video should be required viewing for everyone under the ager of 30. No, make that 40. An absolute bloody classic.
what does age have to do with it?
❤❤❤ABSOLUTELY
Now go watch Talking Heads Live in Rome. It's got the Belew lineup and is killer.
The people in this video are not bourgeois
Bourgeois people don't need this
I am so envious of the audience to who got to see it. What a performance.
Pure ioooooo 😢😢😢😢
I am very impressed at what good physical shape these performers are in. They are doing an aerobics routine !
Not sure why there are not that many likes…. I watch this video all the time, never disappointed. This is OUTSTANDING!!
Lo mismo opino
Maybe it's the name of the person who posted it. "Forced coitus, really?
1:38
Iconic as hell
David Byrne is so wild and crazy, in the best way possible & yup, that’s aerobic, there will never be another Talking Heads, they were so cerebral.❤❤❤❤
Someone please sign cillian murphy up for a david byrne biopic
Pleaseeeee someone
No
More
Biopics
Dude wtf! Your so right man! Wow I never even recognize the likeness, your so right 😅
"Mr. Byrne, your opinion on Cillian Murphy being casted as you in the upcoming Talking Heads biopic?"
"I'll tell you later."
I don't think Cillian is a real song-and-dance guy
It's one thing to have great songs (which they do), but it's a whole different deal if you can actually entertain. This is next level stuff.
i am never gonna feel tired listening to this
This will always be my favorite performance 🖤
Man I’ve been trying to learn all his iconic moves from stop making sense and it’s actually so difficult lol. He is such an incredible performer.
Great,great,greatest Talking Heads...and this song...no words to say ❤❤❤❤❤❤
They look like they’re having a ball! What a band, what a concert movie!
What a ridiculous band, mind blowing🤯
Nooo ridicola noooò !!!!strabiliante si
@@manuela-6998 When saying ridulous I mean they are amazing. Using words in english can be confusing but yrs they amazing.
Yesss/ pardon 😊😊😊😊
The quality is amazing
This performance is on par with queen at Wembley- simply outstanding ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It never gets old. Just brilliant!
The. Absolute. GENIUS.
BEST. EVER.
I love talking heads since the 80s💗 Australia 💚
Same! 80's Straya.
I saw them on this tour. Summer of 1983. Saratoga Performing Arts Center in upstate New York. One of the best concert experiences ever.
I saw them the same year in Bologna Italy ...on a three to have Better visual was fantastic too
One concert I would have paid a lot of money to see. Great showmanship, dancing and music. Doesn't get any better.
I've seen them in Groningen Netherlands 1978. The ticket price was about 3 or 4$. A great concert
Had no idea Cillean Murphy sang in Talking Heads!
😢 Cillian*
"Does anybody have any questions?" Uh, nope, none from me, David, thanks.
*Lyrics*
Heard of a van that's loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey
I ain't got time for that now
Transmit the message to the receiver
Hope for an answer someday
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no Mudd Club, or CBGB
I ain't got time for that now
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play
Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard
I ain't got time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle, so many times now
I don't know what I look like
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive

David's cardio was off the charts!
Never saw this, but MAN this performance is SCREAMING GOOD!!
Chris and Tina have such a great great pocket going on.... just incredible groove there.
Byrne is a musician and a visual artist, both at the same time.
This band is fun to me!!! David is a trip!! As is the entire group.....
How are they singing so well while doing that??? Truly incredible.
this is the definition of performing art.
I always love how I can get a good laugh out of watching talking heads videos. David Byrne is so funny
Have you seen him more recently collaborating with St Vincent? The tune Who has a hilarious video clip and David's still up to his funky moves.
Cool. Nothing like getting a good workout while doing the concert.
I loved watching Tina. A real workout for her. She was into it.
This is what Makes America Great Again. Not the nasty stuff.
This and The Noise (King Crimson film from ‘82) are the best concert films, hands down.
Truly different...& good !
watched this last night, yet again . MASTERPIECE
I'm getting out of breath just watching this :D what an energetic performance.
Real music 👍 Gotta love them 80's
Wow that's a high energy visual and musically excellent show.
David Byrne and Howard Hughes shopped for their wardrobe at the same store! Lol.
Can we please try and get this to 1000 likes? My gosh, what a supergroup!
What a performance 😁!
Best video ever! They ROCKED IT!
Better than anything Taylor Swift can do :p
Ain't that the truth!
Why the need to shit on another artist? Different time and place… each entertaining in their own way, speaking to their own generation.

@@scrunts666i'll say it for you, Taylor Swift sucks and she can't sing for shit live.
ROFL - "does ANYBODY have ANY questions?" lol Strength! GODspeed!
I saw them in Paris in Mogador in 82, it was like that, incredible my best concert ever !!!!!!!!!!
Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry are thrilling.
Very simple - their moves and the outfits - yet somehow so great!

This concert/film is incredible.
I do have to say, this is my favorite part of it. So much energy.
I saw this live! But the video is just as cool. A tribute band 'Start Making Sense' is also great fun. This song is just amazing .
Jeez it's good. Just freaks having fun!
CARDIO.... essential if you play with the Talking Heads.
What a fantastic video, forcedcoitus!
Legend ❤
Great group...Great video!!
Greatest male lead vocalist of all time
The GOAT
Brillantes 🌞....desde Argentina 👏

DirecTV debuted a 1080p version of Stop Making Sense about 10 years ago. It rocked. But A24 recently released a 4K version in theaters!
Top notch cardio when performing with David Byrne.
He's a genius! 🎉
Hey Kids, we desperately need art like this today.
Genius
Does anybody have any questions?
Love them
If they ever make a movie about this guy I think Cillian Murphy would work.
How fresh is this
Performance perfeita
That was the most energetic thing I've ever seen in my life 🚀
David Byrne is my spirit animal, I randomly do things that scarily resemble 1:38 (not as talented of course but still)
Feeling the music for it’s time was way ahead For any one that wants to work out lose weight just watch and dance to this album video you only need to do this five minutes a day😊
I remember lowbrow comedians who would make fun of Talking Heads they just didn’t get it
Holy Cow! No ones ever done that before or since.
brilliant!
Saw them in October 1979. They had just released More Songs About Buildings and Food. It was amazing.
Absolutely class 👍
I am in love the base player brilliant
Brilliant. This holds up.
I watched this whole show on Max recently,outstanding.
3:12 Tina be like:I don't know what he's doing but it looks cool.
Heard about Pittsburgh PA ❤🎉😮😊😂
in another dimension
Belle découverte 😊
