Last year's collaboration between St. Vincent (Annie Clarke) and David Bryne was surprising on many levels. The album they wrote and recorded together, Love This Giant, is inspired and artful, if not as immediately accessible as some of the solo work each of them has made in the past. On stage, performed live at the Strathmore music hall in Bethesda, MD, the songs found their heart and soul. A band of brilliant brass players made the tunes swing a lot more than they do on the record.
Love This Giant allowed both Byrne and Clark to make songs that were slightly out of their comfort zones; they dug into less familiar territory and found something fresh. When performed live, new songs such as "Who" and "I Am an Ape" sound powerful. But old favorites also surfaced from their solo catalogs, whether it was Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" or the Byrne-Eno collaboration "Strange Overtones," or St. Vincent performing "Marrow" from her 2009 album Actor.
All of these performances became less about nostalgia or their individual fame, and more about creation and building on something great, from a pair of strong creative souls born 30 years apart.
As you watch the performance, keep an eye out for Kelly Pratt, formerly of the band Beirut, on lead horn, as well as fantastic synchronized dancing choreographed by Annie-B Parson. You can also see Byrne and Clark rehearse for the concert in this special video from our In Practice series.--BOB BOILEN

I love the way St. Vincent dances with those adorable little steps shuffling around.
Me to. Cooler than a penguins pantry.
I concur.
She is a problem. Worse than Steve Howe!
I also appriciated this particular adorable thing, but the whole concert is a blast! talking heads updated and revenant!
In addition to her many talents, she is very funny.
It is not only David and Annie, it is also this brass band that makes this consert so superbe. The way they orchestrate and dance to their own rhythm is just wonderful. As if words and melody and orchestration is a complete unit.
Apparently Annie wrote all the horn parts too
@@roddheino If so, she is a genious
U bet!
But you wouldn't have any of that without Talking Heads , (and suit that he's grown in to).
The whole show was choreographed by Annie-B Parson.
This is not a simply performance.
This is a kaleidoscope of poetry.
Couldn't have said it better myself. 👌
David Byrne singing along to St Vincent's Marrow is living rent-free in my head!!!!
All the time, whatever she's doing, Annie Clark just KILLS it. She murdered this concert with her guitar. I'm in love.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ME TOO.
I love /adore DB
I'm new to AC.. But I'm just blown away with every new discovery. This collaboration is incredible! And this performance is.. something I wish I could go back in time to see
@@vickiperreault6527I'm with you!
They really do deserve each other.
More like, America deserves to see such soulful types as them and their ethnicity together, and no Hollywood scandal. She´s his soul daughter, America. That "mysterious" and vital spiritual dimension. Skirting America´s addicted twisted, and offering virtual redemption.
the audience member at 33:46 is EPIC.
Epic moves 💯
Ahahaha kids please... Don't do drugs
Epically annoying for everyone within 100 feet of him. They went to watch the show. Not him gallooping all over the place.
Total LEGEND!
This performance of "I Should Watch TV" is on a whole other plane of existence.
+veritaseros Agree. He was in the zone!!
For gods sake don't listen to it with a good headphone and amp combo.
YES
This mix on this is fantastic. Listening on headphones, and everything has so much clarity without one thing overpowering the rest.
It's that sound engineer. He may not be on the stage.Presence is felt. Love to all the Heads .just wandering along to somewhere.....
Great mix indeed, wondering how there wasnt feedback issues when she was in between the line of horn players on either side of her; the engineer knows his stuff!
Holy shit, thsi version of Marrow is a whole new level
wow that is the same thing i was gonna put. fucking hell i almost cried. so epic
My favorite to this day
Yeah, it banged so hard that I vomited out of jealousy.
Yeah don’t think she’s ever matched this version
the guy at 33:46 is my favorite person alive.
***** The one who commands our attention with his impeccable dance skills.
That dude has it goin' on
Kyle Muldoon Damned hipsters dancers and your gracious movements.
Mush Room graceful*
A Small Babby Right, Thank you! English is not my native language and I have a lot to learn.
I can't believe these two did a show at a theater in my semi-small city last year, and I didn't go.
I must be some kind of asshole.
Forgive yourself and make up for it!
I lucked out and got a front row center seat at The Greek in Los Angeles, couldn't believe it!
that guy dancing during Burnin' Down the House is my spirit animal
David Byrne is perhaps one of the two hippest people to ever inhabit this blue ball of a planet. And, while the other David will always be a music God loved by me and most, this David, I think, makes even more interesting and challenging music. Bless both David B.s
One of the finest performances, and video recordings, I've seen in a long time. Many thanks to NPR for making this available here in HD, and to the song writers and performers who created this delightful music. Nothing better, friends and neighbors.
Yes indeed. I am nearly speechless. Blows me away. Greatest stuff I have heard for years … wow!
That tip-toe dance is the greatest thing I've ever seen
Holy shit, that guy at 33:47!!
+Derek LeBlanc ty u dont know how long i was looking for this im crying
+Derek LeBlanc so great
Stooop being so good. You're making the rest of us look like smchucks.
You should write a short story about this
I was already a St Vincent fan from los ageless, so when I recently started listening to the talking heads I was dumbfounded to find this collab.
This never gets old. Perfect stoner viewing.
i love Strange Overtones
I want to put this up on a big screen and just dance. Man I miss live music. Love Annie's energy and David's suspenders!
Marrow 8:24 😲🙌🏻
yesssssss
Holy shit. This is some kind of radical, innovative stuff. Hard to find a melody line, dissonant, just perfect for this millenium. Wow.
I am talking about Who, btw.
this concert makes me so happy everytime i watch it
This is easily one of my favorite performances, ever.
Oh Wow! Vaudeville from the Twilight Zone,complete with the Timothy Leary Existential Marching Band.
Byrne has truly outdone himself! I am awestruck by every aspect of this concert - the instrumentation, choreography, lyrics, staging, and musicianship. This is the most original performance I've experienced in a long, long, time, and, contrary to many other experimental ventures, very warm in spirit.
Color me stunned!!
You nailed it! Byrne is the only rock star to not only age with grace and dignity, but to continue exploring and moving forward.
Terry Barham Thanks for your comment!
Wagmore Barkless Well stated ! great as he ever was !
Wagmore Barkless I wish I'd been there !!! Finally, a concert worth going to!!! Enjoyable in every aspect!!
+Wagmore Barkless This is VERY MUCH a collaboration; Half the songs are Annie's... the orchestration is hers!! The Marching band is hers! Byrne is the tag-along!
Perfect pairing. Similar sensibilities. That groove in Marrow is so gangster.
OH MY EFFING WORD!!! MARROW! Annie Clark got the H.E.L.P. she never knew she needed! Or maybe she did know if she wrote the brass part as well. Omg so so good!
Wonderful "Strange overtones"! What a great song!
I Should Watch TV is one of the coolest songs I've heard in some time. LOVE the dissonant bass underneath the horns. Such a cool song...
Music like this can save your life. Both of these performers are astonishingly talented, and they're a good fit. Annie Clark can hold her own with anybody. My goodness.
as a band person...... david byrne and st vincent.... you have my outmost respect
Two such talented people, great band, great songs. Bliss
St. Vincent is just.....wow!
David Byrne's voice only gets better with age
Thy guy dancing to Burning Down the House is so great! Music should move you and you should move how you feel!❤
Wow.... it truly all came together at this performance.... better than the album, and far better than the performance at the Ryman Auditorium. They really should release this as "Love This Giant - Live !" with the caliber of not only these performances, but with this level of recording and mixing. Even a DVD/CD set would be a huge seller, I believe, as this is just such an awesome production, recording, and historical event.... just the highest level of professionalism on this occasion on the part of everyone involved.... a totally awesome performance, recording, and collaboration in every way...! Definitely 5 Golden Discs for this one....
there is a Brass Tactics EP that is live performances
Whilst this is an amazing performance, I just wish there was more of St Vincent's guitar work on the album!
+Simon G James agreed
A happy mind is a mind that's just been blown.
"great annie - now lets tippy toe back an forth on this part - yeah that will be great"
Easily one of the coolest performances ever.
This music will be as fresh and vibrant in 2054 as Talking Heads music feels now as composed just few weeks ago. Contemporary Art doesn't show its age.
The Forest Awakes is such a great song, my personal favorite from LTG
Why am I seeing this only in 2022? Why? WHY?
One of the most outrageous performances I've ever experienced. Spectacular in every way. Bravo very good....
absolute jewel...this video, David, St Vincent, all the musicians...THANKS!
I've seen them on french tv (full concert) what a great and refreshing moment ! originality, virtuosity . A smile on my face during all the concert
strange overtones......song of my life!
These two are perfect together; an incredible combination!
Annie, you have a unique sound coming out of your guitar, and seeing you blast out some Dimebag riffs, dimebag and jimi would be proud....
This is the 7th time i've watched this video in 15 days, it's beautiful
Please, one more show. The world needs this so much, right now.
damn i love this version of "Lightning" !! so much attitude.
Looks like Annie Clark has got David motivated. Good stuff.
THANKS A LOT SUR TOUT BEAUCOUP MY BEST FRIEND OF ROCK MUSIC FOREVER AND ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!
D'un bout à l'autre, la perfection classieuse des multiples talents de ANNIE CLARK & DAVID BYRNE qu'on ne se lasse pas d'écouter presque religieusement, avec la dévotion en tout cas, que cela mérite, si on aime le genre humain transcendantal !
Watched this more than a dozen times now... this experience is so much better than what was committed to the "Love this Giant" album - Byrne's vocals are not produced to the point of castration anymore and there are real drums and the brass players are really fucking good... Which speaks volumes about how shitty the process of production is these days as well as accentuating how talented the composers/musicians actually are outside of studio moulding. Best. Shit. Ever.
I'm with you. The recording (cd), which in fairness I must re-visit now, is a little anemic compared to this.
33:46 - Don't u folks have any doubt - This is THE REAL SHIT!
i feel the need to comment on this every time i watch it. I watch it four or five times a week, so i don't. If i did i'd just say WOW.
Such an amazing work of art. A celebration of sound and movement. I so wish i were in the audience. The closest i feel i've been i think, is seeing Ron and Russell Mael "Sparks" live......repeatedly of coarse...........
That version of Marrow was amazing!
5:47
6:04
Her tip-toeing and the sax dude being aggressively chill and meandering just destroyed me hahahaha
People now I am just amazed by both of these two wonderful Artists in their own right ,but together there music is outstanding . and to think i had not seen them together till now is a personal failure .A BIG THANK YOU TO UA-cam for keeping this alive .. out ... P.S. and a big shout out to the band ,just an amazingly well done by all ................
Man, there is nobody cooler than David or hotter than Annie!
Holy moly! Brilliant arrangement of Marrow!
This is one of my most favorite things ever.
Inquiring minds need to know: who did these brass arrangements? Stunning!
Great!
Heaven on Earth or Stage!! 👌👏👌👏👏
WHERE THE HEL HAVE I BEEN?! AMAZING MUSIC!
David 💜
This is SOOOOO good. Annie and David are genius musicians.
The bass clarinet on Strange Overtones is very badass.
Now that's what I call a brass band. Superb.
This album works so well live. Even better than with the cold electronics and samples that mostly sound very hallow.
Magnific performance of Strange Overtones!
Haven't seen anything as musically amazing as this, since discovering Radiohead.
Hail all things brass and Byrne and Clark!
Hard to believe the whole place didn't burst into flames from they sheer heat of this.
ITS SOOO GOOOOD!
This show is a "pure merveille". One day, at the end of my life, i'd like to die looking at it, you now, like on Soylent Green moovie.
These heads are talkin' to me, please, this was a smokin' hot show...
Thank you David & Co.
And thanx NPR (!) (Always a great place to play)
cheers
when david byrne tells you to dance you dance!
They are a perfect pairing of musicians
It's David Byrne, he's been into this kinda thing since Stop Making Sense.
I wanted to hit the like button after each song... wish that was a thing, I can't like this enough.
New level of artists St. Vincent, some kind of Bjork guitarist (looks like and sounds) is she or much better for me because it was time when I was play on this instrument. She looks amazing. Im loving she. I known Im not the only one.
Another awesom white hair musician!! Forefather of the genre..and the mixes of them all!!
My face hurts from grinning! Cannot believe there were empty seats! Ahhh! What a brilliant set! Can't stop with the exclamation marks!!!! AHHHHHH!
Truly one of the greatest collaborations ever!
Very Cool
David sounds great.
Man...every single song sounds WAY better live. Honestly, when I first listened to the studio album, I was disappointed. The songs were good...but lacked much energy and soul. But live....they sound TOTALLY different. Especially "I Should Watch TV" which I think is Byrne's best vocal delivery in decades. Not to mention...great lyrics. And I love the title. "I Should Watch TV." Clever. :)
Love this approach to making music.....will add to my favorites!!!!!!
Sheer entertainment. Awesome mixture of instrumentation and vocals.
exelent comme toujours plutot fier d ecouter david byrne depuis 30 ans au moins!!
saw the show last night (6/28/2013) at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank NJ with my 16 year old daughter who grew up with DB/TH music. The show was unreal, the singing, the choreography, the horn section...when a 16 year old tells you that this is f*cking cool show, I know I did the right thing as a Dad. St. Vincent can wail on that ax!!! Live music always brings a tear to my eye and I'm glad I brought tissues!!!!
Glad I'm not the only Charlottean watching this to relive last night! We were blown away -- what a show!!
Thats got to be the best version of Marrow I've ever heard!
some cool music underrated song writer
