Tina understands that there must always be a rhythmic centre. And she's one of the best. Which is amazing whfn you remember she wasn't a player till she was 'recruited.' ('Look we need a bass player. You do it ') She's like Pete Townshend, a metronome. And that Hofner semi-acoustic - about as unfashionable as you could get in 1980- was perfect. Sometimes things just work out
Zappa, Talking Heads, King Crimson... Bellew's one of the few musicians that's versatile enough to not only PERFORM with these people, but to ENHANCE their music!
Fab. Saw these guys perform in their early days - 1978/9 - in Queens Hall, Leicester Uni, where I was an undergrad. Dire Straits were supporting. There were literally 4 or 5 people standing up against the stage and 3 of us sitting in the balcony. It was a superb night despite the emptiness. So privileged to have experienced that 😄
No cell phone lights and cameras, no one interrupting during the performance with stupid whoops and screaming. Everyone enjoying their $17.50 worth to themselves and letting the band play at their utmost. I miss those days.
After forementioned serious moon light tour 84? Bowie playing mean sax I jumped up on turnstiles at bottom gate Western springs stadium akl nz in front of security guards and grabbed large promotion Al sign one half saying 89fm welcome s to Auckland David Bowie got the Bowie half carried home on crowded bus what was also unique was it was largest crowd southern hemisphere 85000 people from memory cool souvenir my dear old dad binned it when I was in Aussie for couple of years horrifying!
@Daniel Olofsson He played in David Bowie's Isolar II tour in 1978 and in his Sound and Vision tour in 1990. The lead guitarist in the Serious Moonlight tour was Earl Slick which is amazing too.
@@brianfergus839No way the addition of Worrell, Scales, Maybry, Holt and Weird is THE definitive TH lineup. The Speaking in Tongues album and tour is their absolute peak.
I think the great Voodoo chile himself would have been proud of that feedback play. Lead singer has a great voice too, and the bassist and drummer really held it all and made it rock. I never knew much about Talking Heads but this told me a lot!
Talking Heads are unique. Most bands cut a song and then live performances almost sound as good as the studio cut. The Heads are different. When they do a studio cut, it sounds good but then when they play it live, years later, it is so much better.
I'm glad UA-cam wasn't around in 1980. I would have spent all of my time watching awesome videos like this and wouldn't have put down the bong long enough to go get a job.
Its not even the best song on the album,Talking Heads 77 ! Very average at best . Even if this was an 80s song it wouldn't come close . Two of the best songs of the 80s were ...Party Fears 2, The Associates, & Lifes What You Make, Talk Talk .
I also have to wonder how much "creative differences" came into play for the break up. The whole Tom Tom Club thing doesn't really strike me as a path Byrne would have been happy going down.
@@SharlsRS Basically any of the stuff he did with King Crimson is top tier. Tracks like Three of a Perfect Pair, Frame By Frame, Thela Hun Ginjeet, FraKctured, Sartori in Tangier, and anything from the album Discipline through The Construkction of Light. Belew was the first guitarist Robert Fripp deemed of a high enough caliber to be his sideman, and was the first King Crimson vocalist who wrote all of his own lyrics. Keep in mind Belew got his first big break playing with Frank Zappa, putting him in the same rarified air as the likes of Steve Vai, Terry Bozio, Vinnie Colaiuta, and plenty of other virtuosi. He was initially sniped from Zappa's group by no less than David Bowie during the Berlin years, before landing in New York where he and Fripp first met in the new wave scene (Rob contributed guitars to some tracks on "Fear of Music") before Fripp brought him on alongside his old collaborator and fellow prog legend Bill Bruford and NYC session fixture Tony Levin to resurrection King Crimson after nearly a decade of dormancy. Belew is honestly in my top ten most underrated guitarists: despite constantly innovating on the instrument and playing with some of the most famous and influential acts of all time he ne er seems to get his due.
So can we talk about yellow guy's guitar solo? He was playing a guitar solo using the feedback manipulation to play the guitar like a fucking theremin or something. And he was bending the frame to lower the tone of the note like a whammy bar? That was the best thing ever.
@@peterisecis3880 I'll definitely have to check it out, thanks so much for the solid recommendation. I am familiar with Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, and sonic youth, but i only know a couple of their songs. Malibu Gas Station is the only one i know really well and I fucking love it. I've always seen them as not just skillful musicians, but innovative as well. Any good recommendations on which videos to check out?
@@jevinday I am having trouble recalling any specific concert. however Fender recently uploaded an interview with Thurston Moore on their youtube channel. The whole video is 52 minutes but Thurston demonstrates this effect at about 39 minute mark. P.S. If you have time, you can watch the whole interview, it gives quite an insight on how they began to play they way they do
@@peterisecis3880 hell yeah I'm gonna look that up right now! Thank you dude. There is like a 45 minute video where Alex Lifeson from Rush does a guitar lesson for Tom Sawyer and I watched like 30 minutes of it a couple days ago. That shit changed my life haha
To think that I saw the Talking Heads when they first started out in a small venue still blows me away today. So many great acts in my youth. I’m truly blessed…
I saw the Talking Heads in 1979 at the Starlight Ballroom in Los Angeles. No seats, just a big wood floor with the stage in the corner, about 1 foot higher than us fans. The promoters were playing the B52s first album in it's entirety and everyone was ecstatic and dancing like madmen. I remember predicting to my friends that the Heads were gonna be big some day. It was a great night!
I got to see Talking Heads at an outdoor concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion in the early 1980s. they went 3 hours. There was no opening act. Everybody was dancing the whole time. they even did some Tom Tom club music also. At some point, David Byrne introduced the band and of course Tina Weymouth got the biggest hand.
One of the songs that made me cry after I wanted the pain to stop. I didn’t know then that combat and death could have such an effect. I’m glad I made it, but I cry every time I hear this song.
Just talent and passion no auto tune etc. Would of loved to have seen them live in the heyday. I still play all their music regularly each year. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️
This tour was the first time I saw Belew. (Not this gig; I saw them in Boston.) It was wild enough seeing someone ELSE come out on stage with Talking Heads - but then seeing what Belew could do to a guitar - oh my.
Producer: Hey guys, Dortmund tonight, what is everybody gonna wear? They're taping the show for posterity, gotta look sharp. David: Fancy blue shirt, buttoned all the way up. Dark slacks, dress shoes. Hair slicked back. Tina: I've got this hot little red dress, matching stockings. Up-do. Producer: Excellent, sounds classy so far. What else? Jerry: Denim. Producer: Huh? Jerry: Just denim. Denim everything. Denim socks. Producer: Uh, okayyy.... Chris, Adrian, what about you guys? Chris: Eh, it's laundry day. I've got this black T-shirt, some jeans. I'm behind the drums and nobody ever looks back there anyway, what's it matter? Producer: Well... You're not wrong. Just... brush your hair, at least. Chris: Lol, whatever. Producer: Adrian? Adrian: Ketchup & mustard. Producer: Pardon? Adrian: Yellow t-shirt, get this, *tucked in* to these really high-waisted muppet-red sweatpants I found at J.C. Penney's. Producer: Wait, no. No. Those are hideous. What are you thinking? Band: Don't you talk to him like that, he's a genius. Producer: [sigh....]
adrian belew (the other guitarist here) also toured with David Bowie on his Isolar II tour, and you can hear the similarities in his solo here with the opening to Station To Station played live.
As a bass player, I will tell you one truth: This song would be nothing without Tina's amazingly simple but powerful bass line. ...mic drop...
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if u like listening to Talking Heads
Are you insane?!?!?!? (laughs in Geddy Lee)
Ok pseudo bass player, ... Nobodys cares about your stvpld opinion .. U r nobody 😉
Not a bass player but bass lover, I agree !
The bass groove in this tune is phenomenal. Tina is underrated and underappreciated.
Tina with the killer bass!!
the reason I'm watching this vid!
+James Green (one5thdown) Hofner, the so called "Beatles bass" because Mc Cartney used to play one back in those days.
+James “one5thdown” Green - It's either a Hofner Club bass, or one of the newer Hofner CT reproductions. McCartney's bass was a true violin body.
+Frellebay You are right, I just said Hofner based on the head, I didnt pay attention to the body. The filming doenst show it much either.

+BassPlayr81 Yes, absolutely. My 13 year old son, who plays bass, thinks she's amazing.

this is awesome!
The version at old grey whistle is one of the best ones too. However I think that this version is the best one of this song as well.
It's that extra guitar and the silly shoutings
This must be one of the best rock songs in history

TOTAL ENERGY AND ON TOP OF WHAT WAS HAPPENNING!
Tina Weymouth is a queen. What a badass bass player.
So bad ass yes
If she was a dude, no one would care. (Not very complex notes).
It took awhile before Chris talked her into playing bass (year or so). She was hesitant. I guess it was worth the wait.

Tina understands that there must always be a rhythmic centre. And she's one of the best. Which is amazing whfn you remember she wasn't a player till she was 'recruited.' ('Look we need a bass player.

dude, tina is the most fucking cool woman in the rock and roll history and most of the people dont mention her.
I think Brie Howard Darling is the coolest and even fewer people mention her.
Other than Grace Slick, I agree with you.
That’s because there are so many bass players including female bass players who are so much better than she is
@@Mark-bw1wx Amen
Well, perhaps that´s a bit of an exaggeration
What a great lineup of the Talking Heads here. Never seen them like this. Adrian is playing out of this world. David recognized that which is genius.
David sucks
They were better without him
@@brianfergus839 wrongest statement

One of the best party bands ever. Crowds would lose their shit when TH songs were played in a club or bar back in the 80's.
We went crazy.
I've been playing guitar since before this concert and I still have no idea how Adriran Belew does those things. But Tina, she is the queen.
Sheer utter brilliance. The addition of Adrian Belew was so fortunate. A collection of genius.

Belew's guitar style fit so well with The Heads of this era. He really adds some extra sauce to the mix.
Wish he'd stayed on longer.
Yeah, but he was looking at his future as a solo artist at that point, so how could he have stayed ( comfortably and contentedly ) in the band? JS
If this is 1980 I guess he went off and joined KC for the Discipline album? Seems like more than a fair trade to me.
I don't agree. I think he distracts from the whole.
