I saw them in my my English home town (Swindon) that year and fell in love. Back then having a WOMAN playing in the band was a big deal. But without Tina, Talking Heads would not have had the groove. Fabulous bass player. But wait, what's this? Tina on keys?

I was at the concert. A reggae band called Dillinger warmed up for them. After they finished, the grips came out on stage and removed all the gels and filters from the lights, so the stage became brightly lit. My friend and I ran into David Byrne just before the show in the Lobby. He was bobbing and jumpy with nerves. Great concert. Strange that there were no backing vocals from Tina live on stage as there were on the album
This is pretty much exactly how I remember them when I saw them in 78 at a medium size club called The Horseshoe in Toronto. (They're still in business I think?) I'd never even heard them before, but a friend recommended I check them out. They were quite the revelation and I went both nights they played. Bought a bunch of TH records after that. Never saw them live on any other occasion as they became more popular tho. I'd have to say I liked them best as a 4 piece. Straight up, relatively minimalist, no frills and to the point.
I got a cassette from Albino who? CAnt remember. Some hippie. This cassette of this live audience copy changed my life. This would of been 1997. Peace.
@@jacksonfritts2988 Are you comparing a geniously crafted concert filmatization to a televised gig...? :o Probably talking about music, right? I'd say apples and oranges. I think the only thing from the Rome gig that is missing from Stop Making Sense is Adrian Belew. Also, if you dig the Rome gig, have you noticed the very similar (although few different tracks) Germany gig that was made within few DAYS of the Rome gig in Westfallenhalle Dortmund, 20 December 1980?
@@jannelonnqvist2947 Stop making sense is brilliant. Seen it many times and it never fails. However the Rome concert's lineup is my favorite, and I love how raw their sound is at that point. I feel like that a few tracks off SMS are softened a little. oh, and the Dortmund gig is great too!
Chris+Tina=tightest pocket of their day..
It's a pity they turned out to be Narcissistic Arseholes!
Magic.

Tina Weymouth gave that band such a groove on songs like take me to the river.
SFloridaMike Chris Frantz insisted they'd hire his Tomboy Girlfriend Tina as the band's Bassist. You should thank him for that.
@@plawson8577 We should all thank him for that.

So simple groove music..David is the man !! That is all * Chris knew he was something else

Goddamn I love this band.
It's like they discovered time travel before everyone else did
So wonderful -perfect way to mix both albums and so great to go out on that song
Classic Talking Heads from back in the day . . . 😀
I was there, and they opened the show with "No Compassion."
Chip Stern danggg that’s a good opener
I wish that was included in the video. Great Song
Now THIS...is some good stuff - FROM 38 YEARS AGO!
Now 40 years ago! Time is still flying.
@@Warrogue1 Now 43 years ago and still standing the test of time.
Thanks for uploading, this is ace, I was 14 and I still kinda love Tina :)
This is utterly fantastic, thanks for uploading this.
Que buenísima banda Talking!
love is simple as 1, 2, 3.
Tina’s bass… ❤
Another gem Francey. Thanks.
does anyone know what organ Jerry is playing at 12:20?

Oh man! this is so much better than when they added 197 other members who didn't belong in the band later on. Original line up was the absolute best!
They are both great.
I have time for the expanded version of the band, but I liked them best as a 4 piece. Relatively no frills minimalist and direct.
I know that dude commenting at the 30 second mark. Lucky bastard!
His response to "Why aren't the Talking Heads played more on the radio?" was "They’re scared because it’s going to make everyone think.”
How is this 36 years old....I am going yo go hone and count the gray hairs in my beard...
40 years old now. How did that happen?
42 now bro. Unreal.
Don't blink.
You'll be 60, like me.
In a second, I'll be dead.
I wish I was there and snore the soles of my shoes.
TINNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
keyboard by jerry harrison best 🎹
Christ Almighty, Tina makes the band.
just go to the show and record the least interesting song
After TRYING to watch numerous live vids of this band I've concluded they were not worth a hoot live. YUCK!
I saw them in August '79 and thought they were magical.
Erm, OK. :o
This live performance filmed by Jonathan Demme is widely considered to be the BEST concert film ever made. Have you seen it?
What about live in Rome? I think that was their peak.

I was six when this happened. I became a fan with Stop Making Sense. I love all Talking Heads Music.
