Tina Weymouth is absolute killer on bass which is shocking because she never saw the bass guitar until she got in the band because she was the drummers girlfriend. Imagine youre dating a drummer and suddenly youre ranked as top30 bass player OF ALL TIMES out of the blue
Tina knew how to play a guitar but she had never played a bass guitar till her and Chris joined up with David to form the band. Her influence for her bass playing was Motown.
Damn I hear you. We are the same age. I was just thinking this is why I never saw them. They toured world. Though I did get to see the Who in 1982 . Saw Stones twice. 1981 and 1999. Nothing can compare to the who although I would give all of them except the who to see Foo Fighters.
brings me right back to the true 80s, when music was writhing and flexing to get out of the box--and this band was one of the true flagships of the future!
The number of musicians on that stage is astonishing. What Talking Heads were able to do is so different. Instead of being annoyingly manic, they made it come together. Like Frank Zappa with a dance groove. Very unique and polished.
Friend im agreed with you, but you forgot Parliament Funkadelic , all members in Talking Heads love them like musicians, Bernie Worell playing with Talking Heads on the keyboards.On the stage Parliament Funkadelic is more than 20 members. ; )
No band like Talking Heads ever existed before, and no band shall come close to their unique musical and visual style. They're like a little short-lived galaxy.
Remain In Light is a milestone in Rock history. I also love the albums which followed it. Their early punk/new wave work, does not appeal much to me musically speaking, although i like some of the lyrics.
David Byrne I met you at City Lights Bookstorre. I gave your signed True Stories to Wendy Brinker. I wish I could go with ya'll on the next tour. May the listening wind guide ya'lls way. I'm from somewhere in South Carolina. Bought some property in Old Fort, NC so I'm staying here for a while, so stab the backs of heros and hope to meet you again. Tom Pickett from where gravity don't mean a thing.
Definitely one of the bands near the top of my list of bands I regret not going to see when I had the chance. In the 80s as a teenager was doing whatever necessary to hit shows all around my hometown. Passed on an '82 Heads show down in Atlanta thinking I had all the time in the world to catch them next time. Never did. There is no next time so when you get that first chance to see a band you really like you gotta go. Like right then. I'm old now and my list of 'bands I love but 'will catch next time' yet never did got way too long. Don't be me.
I love how kinetic he gets with his guitar. It's like he has bridged the gap between self and object, and has become one with it, just absolutely manhandling it, but with such grace and precision but still forceful. It's wonderful to watch how he makes that guitar submit to his will.
Meerkat? I could have sworn those were his marmot bleats. Hard to tell, though. He has a little trouble distinguishing between the various members of the Weasel family. He should try a Humbucker at the bridge position. Might help.
@@rman52 Amen to this. Newsweek or Time had him on their cover one week and called him a musical genius; that was the beginning of the end for real news journals from my perspective, I doubted most of what I read after that; and since then they have all gone to rot completely.
Her look is absolutely perfect for Rome in 1980. I have to imagine her stylist left her with the words, "They will LOVE you dahhling!" as she left to go on-stage.
And the B52's hairstyles were also great. Great times for music and art, especially from Talking Heads, my favorite band, along with The Beatles, David Bowie, Blondie and The Clash.
Saw them perform at Pine Knob (Michigan). Phenomenal. People dancing until they passed out. One of the greatest, most original, talented and influential bands ever.
One of the greatest bands of all time at the top of their game playing to a bunch of crazy joyous Italians in fucking Rome in the 80's - what a moment. what a privilege to have been there. The talent packed on that stage is mind-boggling.
They opened with psycho killers,amazing. Then I just kept getting better. What a great band.❤ Thanks for bringing me a experience that I would never had the joy 🤩 without you sharing with the world 🌍 😮.
@@drea4195 "had" does not equal "his"... you inferred that reading of one possible meaning all on your own. Just because Tina "had" David as a band member does not infer someone is claiming being possessive. It seems as though you managed to take a kind compliment from someone who may not be as familiar with band member names as yourself and infer a connotation that is not likely intended to be derogatory in any way... Relax! ...say something once...why say it again!
Wow I must say, I stumbled across this after watching a Police vid. I'm 55 and admit I never really gave the Heads the time of day growing up. Sure I knew the songs from the radio play. But after watching this I have a new respect for the Heads. I loved it. Never knew Adrian Belew played with them at any point. I sure heard the King Crimson sound come out in I Zimbra. Awesome. Priceless video to have now and look back on those days. 80 and 81 were some of the best years ever in music.
This whole show is spectacular. Byrne lets the whole band just soar...supporting vocals of Dolette McDonald, Belew, Weymouth, Harrison, Frantz, Jones are full of quirky, imaginative sounds, especially Belew. The entire spectacle is absolutely astonishing...start to finish just a raging inferno. You can really see how Talking Heads just exploded on the scene and became a must see event...Cross-eyed and Painless and the closer, The Great Curve, are mind bending...
@@fosmith61 I noticed some of that too, but her voice is also quite prominent and a distinctive counterpoint to Byrne. Neither of them have pure, classical tones, nor does the music itself, which is really a deconstructive form of rock music. Byrne and the band were so original and innovative, evolving increasingly with a theatricality to their shows. Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel also featured interpretive movement, dance, etc. to accent their performances. Here, with McDonald, she performs along that continuum, and is fully on board. In my view, though I don't particularly enjoy her singing individually, I think it works quite effectively with the band. That dystonic sound pairs well with Talking Heads dystopian vision...Belew's cacophony is marvelous...
David Byrne- lead vocals and guitar Jerry Harrison- guitar, keyboards, backing vocals Tina Weymouth- bass guitar Chris Frantz- drums Adrian Belew- guitar and backing vocals Bernie Worrell- keyboards Busta Cherry Jones- bass guitar Steve Scales- percussions Dolette McDonald- vocals and percussion
Saw Talking Heads 1986 Burning Down the House was opening song. At end of the show, I screamed out Burning Down the House. ? And they played it as the Closing song. Show was in Philadelphia at the Mann Music Center in Fairmont Park.
Everything Belew played on Remain In Light was recorded in that one day. That’s the kind of spontaneity and creativity you might expect from a musician who was discovered playing his unique, angular, atmospheric lead guitar just a few years earlier by Frank Zappa in Nashville and soon found himself playing with some of the most interesting acts in popular music: King Crimson, David Bowie, Paul Simon, Herbie Hancock and, yes, Talking Heads.
Truly one of the greatest, iconic, and most influential bands. They created what we used to call "New Wave" and changed the course of modern music ever since.
Dude I am not sure if you were getting over prescribed with recreational drugs at the time but Talking Heads had about as much to do with creating New Wave as I did.
@@glenchapman3899 Yes, they were far too original to be placed in any "scene". They could never be slotted into punk, either. CBGB's (to their historical credit) was an available, welcoming venue.
Even dougth already in the 80`s, nothing could take them in front of the many bands of that time!!!...Special band!!... Now, like them even more!! Why??!!
This concert video is an amazing piece of visual art in and of itself. I strongly believe "Stop Making Sense" would not have been made if this concert wasn't filmed. It's like their "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver" before they made their "Sgt. Pepper".
Great band, I'm happy to say that I saw them on what was probably their first UK tour in 1978, when hardly anyone knew who they were, and no one knew what they were to go on to achieve :)
I saw the Talking Heads on the Stop Making Sense tour in 1983 in Eugene Oregon. Amazing show! One of the best I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of shows.
She has some of the edgy rocker persona, yet exudes a striking refinement, intelligence/intellectuality (they kind of all do, in this band) and real feminine elegance: pure artist with no affectation or evident ego. Her appearance generally conveys this, but most especially as she moves with the instrument. The effect is *mesmerizing*.
I have probably watched Stop Making Sense over 20 times through the years, about 5 times in theaters and the rest on video. I love that film. Maybe it's because I've seen it too many times, but actually, I think this is better. Certainly I prefer this now.
Adrian is such a ripper. Having Bernie there is such a pleasurable departure from his day job. Not that his day job wasn’t pleasurable but seeing everyone get in where they comfortably fit in was something overlooked by most back then. So ahead of their time. While everyone else’s sound still resembled the blues even when they tried not to this bands jump off point never consisted of them tired blues licks.
Thanks for posting this Talking Heads live in Italy 🇮🇹 1980.I saw Talking Heads several times in the 1980s. The best times were at the Brixton Academy in London /1983_84/ with the B52S And Blondie. Nice one
I saw them three times and it still wasn't enough ...sad to think they'll never play together again on stage ......Never sat down once to any of their concerts, and crazy enough I tripped for the first one .....that was unbelievable
I saw them during this tour at Radio City Music Hall in November 1980. They had never had an ensemble like this. The acoustics at Radio City are fantastic. It was overwhelming, the best concert I ever went to, and I've gone to many. It was definitely better than a few years later at Forest Hills, which was the tour that they filmed Stop Making Sense, and that was damn good. The next morning I did something I had never done before, or since, I bought tickets for their second show, which was that night. Incredible.
Forest Hills was great, didn't catch Radio City, but caught the Ice Rink (Central Park) a few months earlier. What made THeads so appealing to Deadheads was how dance oriented they were. Adrian Belew had an incredible run Zappa, THs, Crimson, Bowie
So cutting-edge it still shocks here in 2024 ...a total classic what a line up / two basses ? Only Ornette would come up with that innovation as well ( & I believe later !) Stone cold shit indeed . worthy of multiple watchings for sure oh & Bernie Worrell ( RIP ) is so fab , so major here
Its nice to be able to jump from bowie to zappa to the talking heads to king crimson, and hear the same riffs. the music world owes adrian belew a debt.
Tina went to high school for two years at the NATO base in Keflavik, Iceland. Her Dad was Rear Admiral Weymouth the NATO commander. During an interview she was wearing her Dad's Navy wings. She was well liked. Very cool. I went to the same department of defense school...best two years, senior class of nine of us.
@@dabneyoffermein595 I saw him with Zappa and Bowie both before he was with the Heads. He was great in both cases but did not come close to stealing the show from the stars as he does here.
@@dabneyoffermein595 Adrian Belews guitar is a major part of the "Remain In Light" album sound. Those songs couldn't be played live without his very idiosyncratic chops. After Talking Heads he was with King Crimson(singing also) from 1981 onward. The "Discipline" era of KC. His guitar do the trumpeting elephant in "Elephant Talk", a sound akin to his in this vid.
In my not so humble opinion, this particular group "cooks" better than Bowie or Frank, but Zappa and Bowie had other things going for them. (saw both twice.)
Missed so much in my 70 years, not enough me time: like listening to these talented performers!
This concert BLEW my mind.
I played this song for my dad as he died. He always told me that he thought this is what heaven would be like, a place where nothing ever happens. I'm learning to sing and play this on guitar so I can play it at his memorial next month. he's been gone for almost a year. I miss him so much. The Talking Heads were a huge part of our relationship.
Won't it get a little boring ?
Sorry for your loss Deva, i'm sure wherever your dad has gone to has plenty going on.

I wish people would hide the spoilers... i mean tracklist.
I love this guitar player from King Crimson. He breathes music and rhythm. Killer.
... Adrian Belew...
@@C00ltronixa genius...
I too remember him from K. Crimson- recognized him instantly- brilliant and a master of “noise guitar” - always performed at 110%!
We must clone him! I thought it was Adrien Belew ft Talking Heads
I first saw Belew playing with Bowie on the Station to Station tour. I had no idea who he was but was blown away!
Tina Weymouth is absolute killer on bass which is shocking because she never saw the bass guitar until she got in the band because she was the drummers girlfriend. Imagine youre dating a drummer and suddenly youre ranked as top30 bass player OF ALL TIMES out of the blue
I was a bassist from 1980 to 2007 and Tina was my biggest influence.
A Great Time with Bands from another Star,what a Tragic Time was this When you look at now this Desert .
...Sonic Youth, B52s, Talking Head ans many others..
Tina knew how to play a guitar but she had never played a bass guitar till her and Chris joined up with David to form the band. Her influence for her bass playing was Motown.
Yeah. She's got great legs.
GREATEST CONCERT EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFETIME AND I'M 63 SO BEEN TO A LOT
Still listening to Talk Heads on october 2024!!!🇧🇷
you forgot to ask “who else is here in 2024”
Till 20124 will be very timely music
yep killer lead guitarist, nobody gets those freaky sounds like he does. There all ace. One concert i would have loved to be have been at
Watched this so many times and always coming back 🎉
Oh yeah
The energy expended in this performance continues to reverberate and will for all time.
I was there. Before them The Selecters. And i was 19. All Rome was there.

brings me right back to the true 80s, when music was writhing and flexing to get out of the box--and this band was one of the true flagships of the future!
As "they" try like hell to put more "in the box". And caskets. Just like in the volatile warring past.
Of course the more in the box meant the digital age was on the way!
And this was embraced by the heads in the way they structured their music. Don’t you think christyl?
amazing guitarist, one of the best
how well said!
(they can put what's out now back in the box with the auto tune software)
Holy Moly....Whew!!!!!!! Just unbelievably tight and in the Groove! Always a fan but this knocks me out.

I m listening to Talking heads since im 14 and im 52 now they are great forever !!!!
I just don't like how David Byrne broke up the band. No forward knowledge. No notice. Just "I fucking hate this, I quit" Really. Its documented fact

Adrian Belew is unreal on the guitar 🎸 the whole band is so tight their about to snap from the tension
I love how kinetic he gets with his guitar. It's like he has bridged the gap between self and object, and has become one with it, just absolutely manhandling it, but with such grace and precision but still forceful. It's wonderful to watch how he makes that guitar submit to his will.

Timelessly classic. 40 years old and the grooves are still fierce. Often imitated (hello LCD Soundsystem), never equalled.

David's Google autocorrect questions was great. Such a unique, brilliant artist.
What a smokin' tight band they were. Tina W. on that Hofner Club bass is killer...
This was great! A punk, funk, soul, blues rock band! Wow!
can't get enough of that funky stuff
@@phillipnations5482 do not forget Afrobeat as a massive influence!
Haven't seen or heard anything this perfectly spectacular in so long. Thank you for uploading this.
I can't imagine contemporary bends sound like this. Best musical madness ever!
Adrian Belew was really blessed in the early eighties. He got to play with so many great artist.
fantastic guitarist.. he was playin' the heck out of that old thing
I'm going to say the people he played with were blessed too. They were all better with him than without him.
@@Clearanceman2they all wanted him
I saw the Talking Heads on the Stop Making Sense tour in 1983 in Eugene Oregon. Amazing show! One of the best I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of shows.
Completely forgot Adrian Belew's time with Talking Heads. What a talented guy. Brought great guitar, effects and musicianship to everything he did.
Still does!
dirty...in a great good way...
He added a lot to this group of talented musicians. You can tell the songs he plays on in "The Name of this Band is Talking Heads"
For sure.....saw him with Bowie in Toronto. Wicked tones and inventive guitar work.....no wonder Zappa had him in the band too.
This performance is stupid good! They were amazing!
Saw Adrian and Jerry Harrison last night in Cincinnati. Had seen the Talking Heads many times since 1980 as well. Always brilliant.
I could watch Tina play all day.
Me too.
She has some of the edgy rocker persona, yet exudes a striking refinement, intelligence/intellectuality (they kind of all do, in this band) and real feminine elegance: pure artist with no affectation or evident ego. Her appearance generally conveys this, but most especially as she moves with the instrument. The effect is *mesmerizing*.
I had never heard this - Absolute musical euphoria!
I have probably watched Stop Making Sense over 20 times through the years, about 5 times in theaters and the rest on video. I love that film. Maybe it's because I've seen it too many times, but actually, I think this is better. Certainly I prefer this now.
incredible performance......each song better than the last.....top of their game here.
Adrian is such a ripper. Having Bernie there is such a pleasurable departure from his day job. Not that his day job wasn’t pleasurable but seeing everyone get in where they comfortably fit in was something overlooked by most back then. So ahead of their time. While everyone else’s sound still resembled the blues even when they tried not to this bands jump off point never consisted of them tired blues licks.
131 “people” out there that thumbs down this video don’t get genuine good 🎶 music. Sad sad sad. Brilliant upload 🙏 gracias!
Thanks for posting this Talking Heads live in Italy 🇮🇹 1980.I saw Talking Heads several times in the 1980s. The best times were at the Brixton Academy in London /1983_84/ with the B52S And Blondie. Nice one
sounds like a blast Paul!
@@hollowearthsounds Yes it hell off a gig back in 1983/84/. Nice one for the remark.
Gosh darn, this was funky and clean, what a solid live performance.
I saw the same concert 2/3 days before😊....in Milan.
Easy in my life top 5 :))
So blessed to have these recordings... huh. a phenomenal group of an awesome spirit manifesting such a musical truth.
Oh yeah, I felt those guitars on Stay Hungry, truly amazing
Great live performance.
Great camera work. Great show. Adrian Belew is a friken laser beam genius.
Had never seen a performance with Belew with the Heads what a monster.....always.
I saw them three times and it still wasn't enough ...sad to think they'll never play together again on stage ......Never sat down once to any of their concerts, and crazy enough I tripped for the first one .....that was unbelievable
Great energy throughout and what a joy to watch! I want to have some of whatever they had before they went on stage!
Incredible! David felt the spirit that night.
I saw them during this tour at Radio City Music Hall in November 1980. They had never had an ensemble like this. The acoustics at Radio City are fantastic. It was overwhelming, the best concert I ever went to, and I've gone to many. It was definitely better than a few years later at Forest Hills, which was the tour that they filmed Stop Making Sense, and that was damn good. The next morning I did something I had never done before, or since, I bought tickets for their second show, which was that night. Incredible.
I saw the Stop Making Sense show in Berkeley. Spectacular. Just regret not having seen them earlier in looser settings.
Almost as good as Miles, Dizzy, Duke, or Grateful Dead in concert, but I show my bias.
Forest Hills was great, didn't catch Radio City, but caught the Ice Rink (Central Park) a few months earlier. What made THeads so appealing to Deadheads was how dance oriented they were. Adrian Belew had an incredible run Zappa, THs, Crimson, Bowie
What? Adrien Belou was just hanging around Rome looking for a gig? The dude is amazing. A great complement to an already fantastic band.
The whole band is at their peak. Belews feedback playing is awesome
Belews is amazing.
I liked his work with Laurie Anderson the Most!
@@markmower6507 He was great with The Mothers and King Crimson too
@@markmower6507 OMG yes, that variation he did of what became "I am what I am" with her was too good.
So cutting-edge it still shocks here in 2024 ...a total classic what a line up / two basses ? Only Ornette would come up with that innovation as well ( & I believe later !) Stone cold shit indeed . worthy of multiple watchings for sure oh & Bernie Worrell ( RIP ) is so fab , so major here
Groovin' on it right now ... this just in, the aliens have landed!!! ;-)
love it ,,belew is amazing as is david and the whole band..and tina is just wow ...
Thank goodness this was recorded!
Love the fact this was LIVE.
Its nice to be able to jump from bowie to zappa to the talking heads to king crimson, and hear the same riffs. the music world owes adrian belew a debt.
Belew was with Zappa first. Bowie poached him away. Frank wasn't pleased.
holy crap! remain in light was always my favorite talking heads album. now i know why. belew is just incredible here.
Tina went to high school for two years at the NATO base in Keflavik, Iceland. Her Dad was Rear Admiral Weymouth the NATO commander. During an interview she was wearing her Dad's Navy wings. She was well liked. Very cool. I went to the same department of defense school...best two years, senior class of nine of us.
What a great band. Thanks so much for sharing. Had a great time watching and reminiscing.
They are quite a unique band - always pushing the boundaries.
Just saw the Jerry Harrison/Adrien Belew (other guitarist on stage here) tour stop in San Diego performing Remain in Light. It was a great show.
Oh man l forgot about them touring Remain in Light now...
Going to that tour in NJ in August. Really looking forward to it.
Adrian Belew probably deserved top billing on this tour. Kind of amazing that he wasn't even an official bandmember yet he dominates this show.
really, i didnt know that......holy crap...who was he with before this?
@@dabneyoffermein595 I saw him with Zappa and Bowie both before he was with the Heads. He was great in both cases but did not come close to stealing the show from the stars as he does here.
@@dabneyoffermein595 Adrian Belews guitar is a major part of the "Remain In Light" album sound. Those songs couldn't be played live without his very idiosyncratic chops.
After Talking Heads he was with King Crimson(singing also) from 1981 onward. The "Discipline" era of KC. His guitar do the trumpeting elephant in "Elephant Talk", a sound akin to his in this vid.
It's amazing that Tina and Chris stayed married with how much she is vibing with Adrian
In my not so humble opinion, this particular group "cooks" better than Bowie or Frank, but Zappa and Bowie had other things going for them. (saw both twice.)
