PS..watching it again..this looks loke the tour Byrne did with Richard Thompson (he comes onstage at the end)..I would have loved to have seen them both together.
I love this song. I love Neil's version, of course. And I love Byrne. This is such a passionate version. The only thing I object to is the chording. Neil's descending figure during the verses is slightly more complex in the voicing. Somehow the omission of that diminishes this version.
Remembering the first time I heard Neil’s version, I immediately thought that Byrne would do a wonderful cover of it. I was right!
Thank you for posting this. I've seen Byrne many times. The greatest entertainer on the planet.
I love this so hard!! His voice and rocking the acoustic is the best.
This is just amazing!
love it david! can count on you to make a rock anthem relavent again!
I like how he throws in "Psycho Killer" around 1:47.

Flamenco style 💃
@filmreifberaten I guess David Byrne is the right term.
"Like". :)
Love it.
Is there a term for a copy that is better than the original?
