@@keithconti6057 Yeah late Gen x, and early Gen y were 90's. Gen x lived through 80's post-punk and new wave (which includes this), Baby Boomers were listening to the Stones, the Beatles and Jimmi Hendrix.
Talking Heads is one of those bands that sounds amazing on a record, but somehow even better live. David’s voice is amazing, that kind of vocal consistency is rare.
Read Byrne's "How Music Works"; he talks about this problem, and the converse, of bands that sound great in the studio, but can't translate to stage. It's a non-trivial process.
IDK what it is, but the way they hit the "MYYYY house" line right at 2:11 just makes the whole performance for me. They put everything they've got into that line.
Yes! And the way Byrne isn’t even looking for the next “that’s right!” The whole thing just oozes beautiful energy from amazingly practiced and talented people
I think it’s how in sync and comfortable everyone is. There’s so much power in all their voices all at once too. It’s the highlight of an all around amazing performance.
@Wally991 I think that was just a general thing to scream at a party or concert back in the day. Parliaments' main specific chant was "Tear the roof of the sucka," along with other isolated lyrics from other songs being chanted throughout a concert as well.
This is my all-time favorite concert movie. No backstage antics, no interview backstage while the rest of the band is playing, interrupting the performance (in the film), just the band coming onstage, and in this case, David alone with a boombox, then the original members and finally the full band and they just play a great show! Beautifully filmed.
I remember seeing this in the cinema in Amsterdam when it came out and people were more than once applauding after a song ended. That is quite some achievement for a performance on a screen
Yes, truly how i feel about the film too. I actually took one of these tiny wee superpotent things to really get into it and i was totally out there, the performance and film was just stunning and surreal. Unforgettable day at the cinema for me that.
I was at this show, opening night of a 3 day event at the Pantages theater. Front row, stage right. I was in my early 20s then, I'm in my 60s now and, to this day, with more than a couple hundred shows ranging from hardcore punk and thrash metal to old school Country Western and some great jazz, under my belt and Stop Making Sense was, far and above, the best musical event I've ever experienced.
I saw the new 4K remaster of Stop Making Sense in theaters last week, and had to go back and see it again this week. Both times, this performance specifically blew me away. Last week's viewing was in IMAX and it felt like I was there in person watching the concert, it was so powerful. If you get the chance to see this in theaters, by all means go!!
He's gotta be the best vocalist of all times.. Every single note that comes out of his mouth is perfect, and he's basically running a marathon on stage..
Always loved burnin down the house and take me to the river. The Spiritual energy David brings to the pieces is like gospel to me. Awesome live performer…
One of the best acts/bands that ever came out of the 70s. The music is outstanding, always was and to this day has not aged a bit. That is the mark of genius that was David Byrne and Talking Heads (as they all had writing credits for one thing and another). Brilliant. Thank you for posting.
@@ScottField-y8t absolutely Scott. My point was that back then they were such an influential, ingenious band and the catalyst for that was, undoubtedly, Mr Byrne. Thankfully still with us. I am 64yrs old and still listen to Talking Heads. My grandsons are 4 and 2yrs of age and they love Talking Heads, especially “And She Was”. I think it’s the staccato, stop/start beat and we dance in the kitchen when I’m cooking for them. Great fun. They get so excited when they hear that first bar of the song.
Yes. I love bands which are for the audience. All genres: Black Oak Arkansas Osibisa Madness The Rolling Stones The Manband (from Wales not the USA) Jonathan Kelly’s Outside All gave fantastic performances that live in the memory for ever. ‘Experiences longer than things’
I hope people realize how in shape the lead singer had to be in to sing and perform the way he did. That is not easy. Amazing job by the entire group also. Incredible fitness.
@@kmillz110By all accounts there was a great deal of drug use going on with the band - specifically Chris Frantz the drummer has admitted that he was “full of drugs” at this point in time. But I don’t actually think Byrne was really doing any cocaine or speed. By all accounts he was just a really strange guy. And I believe that! The euphoria and energy of performing a show like this lie with the band, the music, the people - that’s an awful lot of energy to work with.
One of the truly magnificent bands ever, who could always cut it live. Albums from Buildings And Food, Fear Of Music to Remain In Light were a stunning trio.
@@enriquepina9829 You got it buddy!!!! Right now I'm listening to a band called Atomic Rooster. If you know who Carl Palmer is from ELP that was the band he was in before ELP formed!!!!! Check them out for some good stuff!!!! You'll love it!!!! I promise!!!!!! Have the greatest day my friend and take care of yourself and your family!!!!
God, kids today don’t know what they missed in the 80’s! Remember seeing this at the midnight movies in my SoCal neighborhood back in the day along with Dance Craze, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Quadrophonia, etc.👍🏻
I was old enough to see these people live, but was too busy trying to stay out of trouble (e.g. holding down a job took all I had, that and trying to go to school while dealing with a lot of disabilities that I didn’t know I had then, beyond the ones I knew about!) to go see them.
I was at one of the three nights they recorded and filmed. David Byrns energy was incredible. My body was vibrating when I left, his energy was contagious.!
By far my favorite song in the performance. The whole thing was great, but the energy with this one is absolutely unmatchable. It was incredible seeing the 4K remaster in theaters.
"exaggerating"? This word doesn't even exist in this context. They're having FUN, their bodies are an extension to their instruments. If their dance bothers you, perhaps you should watch some shoegaze bands, lol.
@@PauloRocka The way the girls are moving their bodies suggests that they are having Way Too Much Fun ' This is a movie ' Not indicative of a real life performance ' The Theatricals just go hand in hand ' Plus ,this was 1980's when a lot of 'cheap shots ' were used in making movies . Today this would not go over so well ' .
@@sentry8535 At first I thought is was high energy choreography, but watching the joy coming out of the band, I could see that "da music made them do it!"
I also saw this in IMAX a couple weeks ago. Everyone knows the Talking Heads but I'd never seen them live. Wish I had. I was blown away by this performance. And as concert docs go, this has got to be one of the best. Too bad the camera couldn't have been on the whole stage the entire time.
The Stop Making Sense movie is one of the best things there is for taking mushrooms. My wife (a speech therapist) and I (a technical writer) ate a lot of mushrooms in the early 90s and watched Stop Making Sense all night, over and over, dancing and jumping around with it blasting on speakers throughout the house with the house glowing like the Wizard of Oz. It was wild and I will never forget it.
I'm repeatedly stunned by how hard David and the others work during these shows. I know it was years and years ago, and they were young; but damn! What energy!
@@mitchellbaxter6314I saw it Saturday in Santa Cruz at the university's outdoor theater. So much fun. One interesting thing, when the band did their late night interviews with Fallon and Colbert, they didn't mention the backup singers or players. Or the Tom Tom Club.
Just unbelievably awesome energy I'm so precise. I always dance and jump around when I hear this song... It creates pure energy. And that was long before I saw this performance.
Arsonist is one letter from arborist…nothing shows who your real friends are better than blasting this - wherever you are. Well- psycho killer…and life during wartime…and burning down your friends house…that really brings it home
Don't be mean. I do have a dear friend whose house was burned down by an arsonist. Horrible experience. Generations of memories lost. Fortunately, no lives were lost. But a family was fractured and broken. [It's still a great song.]
Good referance to SPINAL TAP's movie!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!! I love this band and this song too. On my list of top ten's for sure right along with Once in a Lifetime. That ones great live too!!!! Check it out if you haven't already!!!!
When I was in college, the local movie theater played "Stop Making Sense." When the film started, the whole audience ran towards the screen and started dancing for the next two hours.

That was a time when I became a fan of the band. I bought the vinyl at once. The cover of it describes how they built up that concert. At this many thanks to my former Canadian friend who made me acquainted with David, Tina and all the other ones.
When this song became popular, I was an electrician working in a very conservatively run factory. They had an outbuilding, where they ran tests on products that were made there. They had their own PA system in that building and the younger guys would play this song over the PA. It drove the old-timers nuts! Being young, I enjoyed the music! Memories...

Saw it, when it was shown in the cinema, and the audience went wild, dancing and singing/yelling along, like as if the band was on stage.
its a masterpiece, fantastic movie
I'm exhausted by the end of it.

Never gets old. Legendary performance
Truly one of the best performances ever caught on camera!
The keyboard player is Bernie Worrell of Parliament/Funkadelic. Imagine playing in 2 HOF bands!
And played in zero. I love zero.
I just love the way that Bernie treats every note as if it was some kind of jack in the box in front of Him. What a great man, what a great musician!
RIP Bernie, he was an excellent man
Wasn’t “Burn down the house” a regular chant at Parliament concerts? And the Heads capitalized on it!

Better question is who doesn't see the resemblance
man alex weir really cannot stay still lol he is the most entertaining rhythm player i've ever watched!!
on the tour that these songs were taken from, he was a HUGE contributor to the whole show.
I can't stay still either when listening to Talking Heads so it's totally understandable
His instructional video where he teaches how to play these and Brothers Johnson songs is awesome
Carrying on the torch from James Brown as the hardest working man in showbusiness.
They opened and closed with this song when I saw them in Berkeley... the drum set and percussion was huge!
One dislike was guy who's house actually burned down
Well now we'll never know how many more houses burned down thanks to 1984Tube.
Arsonist is one letter from arborist…nothing shows who your real friends are better than blasting this - wherever you are.

That lead guitar player is Alex Weir. Man was/is awesome. A man for his playing time. Set the tone for those who came after.
That's a bunch of amazing musicians having an amazing time playing amazing music....pure joy...
The 80's were the best time to be alive! I went to both High School and College in the 80's! Loved this time! MISS this time!
This had to be one hell of a show
When this song became popular, I was an electrician working in a very conservatively run factory. They had an outbuilding, where they ran tests on products that were made there. They had their own PA system in that building and the younger guys would play this song over the PA. It drove the old-timers nuts! Being young, I enjoyed the music! Memories...
i dont think ive seen a band have this much fun on stage
energy on another level.
They were it. And nothing producing today can rival them. They closed out the door of the greatest rock bands ever.
