Oh dude this whole concert film was rereleased in theaters through A24 and holy shit was that an experience. Not one person was sitting down, it was just a dance party beginning to end. Absolutely bonkers.
It still is! Saw it about 3 years ago, still fabulous. Looking forward to seeing it again, dancing my arthritic sciatica laden bod off all over again. It’s still as exciting & motivating as the first time I saw it in or around 85/86.
What you're seeing in this performance is quintessential David Byrne. He's just weird as he'll, and that's why I love the music. Look up his work with St. Vincent.
Tina Weymouth is a legend on bass, and that's her husband on drums. You should check out Genius of Love by their band Tom Tom Club, gotta be one of the most sampled songs ever.
They have tons of huge hits. Yes, their shows were very much performative art. The had music videos on MTV all the time, super popular. 'Burning Down the House', 'Psycho Killer', 'Take Me to the River', 'And She Was', 'Wild, Wild Life'...goes on and on. All in high rotation on peak MTV.
David Byrne was much more than just a "vocalist" - he's the songwriter, composer, arranger, and in conjunction with the director Jonathan Demme, turned a live Talking Heads show into a multimedia energy extravaganza. Epic, and one of the best music movies ever made! Meanwhile, you're sitting in your mom's basement, making money off of something he did 40 years ago. Oh, and that monotone lead vocal worked pretty good for Cake, too.
Im not making any money on this video and these are just my thoughts as Im listening to the song, I dont understand why so many have got mad just because this track didnt click with me…Id imagine their is some artists I love that others wouldnt dig so much and thats fine, so much out here for us all to enjoy..I wouldnt comment saying your living in your moms basement to imply someone was less then, we all have thoughts/opinions shaped from our experiences, likes and dislikes…pretty sure I still found elements that I enjoyed in the song and talked about those, wasnt mean at all towards the things that didnt
@@rockdariff I didn't grow to appreciate Pink Floyd until about 10 years ago, when I had 50+ years of experience listening to music, before I realized in perspective how great they were. Maybe when you mature a little more, you might grow to have the same appreciation for David Byrne. But hey, you asked for comments, and that's mine.
Like mc hammers cant touch this , all if talking heads music , ive ice baby all work out music dancing yep lit of coke amd dancing ! GoodTimes my friend
Most likely as the rest of us heavy rockers, grew; we embraced the whole music scene. Trust me, one day when you hit 50 you’ll look silly as a metal head and be like wow how did i miss this stuff🤷. Im 66, classic rock, completely missed the 80’s and 90’s but then it hit me. My daughter turned me on to nirvana, violent fems, greenday etc. but talkings heads were just so friggin new to everyones ears🤘❤️ but AC/DC and led zep have my heart
I hear your point on David Byrne's singing style - he's not for everyone. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with his autism, but I know a couple autistic folks and they have very interesting speaking rhythms.
Love the Talking Heads! Thanks for your reaction dude, first time watching your channel. I'll watch the second time if you do a reaction to this. Considered by me and many others as one of the greatest live performances ever recorded. Twice as long as the studio version, these guys are guitar gods. The lighting, the choreography, they're just totally jamming out here. Mark Knopfler on lead guitar. Dire Straits. Sultans of Swing. Alchemy Live. You're welcome. ruclips.net/video/8Pa9x9fZBtY/видео.htmlsi=61cTtJ1nO5rpI6ma
Thanks for giving the Heads a listen. You should listen to The Great Curve from 1980 from Italy. Adrian Belew was on guitar at that time and he was on fire. Belew worked with Zappa, Bowie, and was lead singer and second guitarist in King Crimson. You need to listen to Crimson if you haven’t.
This is one amazing song. Let the song develop a little bit. You can't get into it with 3 or 4 stops before they even start singing. The lead singer David Byrne is a straight laced guy...probably not on coke at all. He's rather famously autistic and has talked about his Asperger's Syndrome. That's why he's so quirky on stage. He's an amazing individual.
@@HemlockRidge Dude, you better look where they came from, read articles about them, and listen to old demo recordings from the early-mid 1970s when Byrne, Frantz, and Weymouth were at Rhode Island. They moved to NYC and played at CBGB many times and opened for the Ramones. This was a few years before New Wave started to get traction by the late 1970s. They were punk, post punk, and new wave but I guess you have no idea what punk is. Punk in the U.S. didn't mature until almost the mid-1980s unlike British punk years earlier. London is small and concentrated so "British" punk matured far faster during the 1970s. While in the U.S., punk had no single defining sound. NYC punk as defined by the Ramones, New York Dolls, Misfits,etc were different from New England, as was Detroit punk, and bands out of LA. Because of the vastness of America, every region the U.S. had it's own sound of punk.
@@BagoPorkRindsByrne, Frantz, Weymouth, and Harrison were asked if they were Punk. ALL said that although they used some Punk elements in their music, they considered themselves very different from what was then (late 70s early 80s) considered PUNK Rock. You REALLY don't like to be wrong do you?
@@HemlockRidge That is what they say but it isn't what many at the time and after thought of them. And I said starting from early to mid 1970s if you missed that part. It doesn't dismissed the fact that they were one of the firsts in the New England and NYC punk scene and as I just explained before, there was no single mature punk sound in the U.S. like it was in the U.K. Maybe you should go take 2-3 notches down from your smugness.
No wonder you can’t appreciated good music, to busy counting band members, pausing & going back & talking over the track…. Rather any talking heads than try-hard metal
You went from dismissive ("80's is so old" "Workout video" ) to the cocaine, etc. I expected better from a musician. Just keep listening to your AC/DC.
@@maidentallica CALM YOUR TITS, ITS NOT RIGHT THEY JUST SHOW SOMEBODY ELSES WORK AND PAY NOTHIN TO THE ORIGINATOR WHO DOES ALL THE HOURS OF EDITING, YOU WOULD BE FIRST TO COMPLAIN, ENTERTAINMENT ARTIST WONT LET ANYONE GETAWAY WITH IT, WHATS GOOD FOR GOOSE ETC

EXACTLY! We went as soon as it came out, and the whole theatre in Columbia SC was on its feet and shaking the building :)
It still is! Saw it about 3 years ago, still fabulous. Looking forward to seeing it again, dancing my arthritic sciatica laden bod off all over again. It’s still as exciting & motivating as the first time I saw it in or around 85/86.
Dude, watch the whole film. They build the band during the course of the film. The greatest concert film of all time. Then watch "American Utopia ".
This entire concert is one of the best ever put on film.
What you're seeing in this performance is quintessential David Byrne. He's just weird as he'll, and that's why I love the music. Look up his work with St. Vincent.
he's a performance artist, and this was a really novel way to film a concert.
Best concert film of all time, legendary performance.
Tina Weymouth is a legend on bass, and that's her husband on drums. You should check out Genius of Love by their band Tom Tom Club, gotta be one of the most sampled songs ever.
"Stop Making Sense" was directed by Jonathan Demme, who later directed "Gladiator" and many others films.

remain in light is their magnus opus i think
No ear pieces to keep time...everyone in perfect sync

Yep 80 its the talking heads dude theyre awsome !
Talking Heads/Burning Down The House Music Video. New Sub!😮😊!
This song was recorded in 1979,
maybe you should listen to the lyrics! I LOVE Talking Heads! The most unique. I was 4 when Stop Making Sense came out.
There's no getting into character with David Byrne. That IS his character.
I like the honesty.
Lyrics are more ballsy than any riff any rock band have ever played.
I just dig guitar riffs more then lyrics

It helps if you don't stop the video every 30 seconds.
I have to stop every 30 seconds for copyright purposes
@@rockdariff Fair enough.
Yeah this was filmed in 1983. David's voice is very much a love it or hate it thing so I get what you mean, it works for me.
I think all that running around helps his voice sound like that ... like he's out of breath the whole time
His voice isn't even relevant to everything. They were amazing!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

We went to bars and was nights out and work outs
I always thought this was about terrorists, it's looking at it post 9 11

I kept waiting for him to stop interrupting the video and gave up cause it clearly wasn't happening.
Listen to the lyrics
this is 40 years old
New Wave classic band.
They are also one the pioneers of punk music
@@BagoPorkRinds NO. T-Heads were never Punk.

can't get into the music when you pause it and back it up over and over and over again. as far as that goes.
Your loss
Comparaison Witherspoon Slipknot is quitte interesting!
No wonder you can’t appreciated good music, to busy counting band members, pausing & going back & talking over the track…. Rather any talking heads than try-hard metal
Try-hard metal... okay 🤨 It's okay that someone didn't like a song you do like, you'll get over it
I'm not this confident behind closed doors. I needa chill out
What?
@@rockdariff Oh, I just feel shy about dancing like a weirdo even when no one's watching. That's probably sillier than the dancing ever could be
Whenever I watch this I lose a couple of kilos.
Anyone have any questions?
Stoned as you are you are history yourself soon 🤣
What?
You went from dismissive ("80's is so old" "Workout video" ) to the cocaine, etc. I expected better from a musician. Just keep listening to your AC/DC.
You seem pretty shallow.
And you're judging someone based on 1 video, so you're a fuckin saint
You didn't get the lyrics, right?
Yea lyrics are not normally what I focus on
@@volkerwerner2718..that's why he is a metal head. They prefer loud noise. Words are irrelevant.
@@lindacrowe8428 your ignorance is showing 🙄

Shut up and watch and listen.
Watching and listening is what I’m doing but i have to pause every so often and talk about what I am thinking, its a review/reaction
