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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
@@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.

EXACTLY! We went as soon as it came out, and the whole theatre in Columbia SC was on its feet and shaking the building :)

This entire concert is one of the best ever put on film.
Best concert film of all time, legendary performance.
he's a performance artist, and this was a really novel way to film a concert.
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 ".

remain in light is their magnus opus i think

No ear pieces to keep time...everyone in perfect sync
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.

Talking Heads/Burning Down The House Music Video. New Sub!😮😊!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
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.
Not everyone gets David Byrne.

Comparaison Witherspoon Slipknot is quitte interesting!
Whenever I watch this I lose a couple of kilos.
Anyone have any questions?
Lyrics are more ballsy than any riff any rock band have ever played.
I just dig guitar riffs more then lyrics

There's no getting into character with David Byrne. That IS his character.
I like the honesty.
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!
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.
this is 40 years old
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.
Listen to the lyrics
You didn't get the lyrics, right?
Yea lyrics are not normally what I focus on
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
You seem pretty shallow.
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
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.
New Wave classic band.
They are also one the pioneers of punk music
@@BagoPorkRinds NO. T-Heads were never Punk.
