[@pokerusdyami]

That's my dad on the bongos! Good job pops.

[@Games_and_Music]

Hehe nice

That’s awesome!!!

[@alfreddelatourquipenche8287]

Actually no, that's MY dad. (love u Dad !)

[@pokerusdyami]

Actually no, that's MY dad. His name is Davi Vieira. You can google him.

[@MorningCarnival]

David Byrne is a living art installation. Totally brilliant.

[@jservice6594]

I'm in my seventies and I've been a fan for forty years. A supremely gifted musician and is not slowing down.

[@DrJohn493]

I thought it was just me!

[@ColonPal]

He's an amazing guy! Never stops producing and what a talent! I love Talking Heads music!

[@dougstanton9816]

I'm only 37. I've been following him since watching burning down the house in 87.

[@dylandog1289]

A time traveller from the 80’s would be STOKED to see David still rippin it up like this.

[@RobTFirefly]

Am from the '80s. Can confirm, am STOKED.

[@DeadeyeLefty]

Yep...another (very slow) time traveller from the 80s and I don't care how awkward the actual interview was, once the music started tit was all that mattered. Damn...he's still got it.

[@12Saintsrow]

David Byrne doing David Byrne things. Expect nothing but quality.

[@joshdiller2205]

Mig1997 well said my friend

[@HaloAdmiral]

I was expecting Nothing But (Flowers).

[@DISTER141]

These guys are freaks

[@pa609]

thomas I saw the Heads in a 200 person bar in New Orleans back in 1978 and then 5 more times culminating in th Stop Making Sense tour. Until I saw Byrne on Broadway last week, that had been the best show I ever attended... and I’ve seen them all from Paul McCartney, Springsteen, The Who and Stones to Emerson Lake and Palmer and all the bands you can think of. No one compares to David Byrne with his visuals, perfect sound and sheer joy in performing.

[@GBWatanabe]

I'm slowly teaching my wife about David Byrne & Talking Heads. She's started singing his songs randomly throughout the day. 😊😍🤗😚

[@VangeliRock]

Holy fuck...The Talking Head...that is totally rad dude. "We are only tourists in this life, only tourists but the view is nice". Mind blown.

[@MichaelAronson]

This is what I expect from David Byrne. Was not disappointed.

[@georgesos]

David Byrne , one of the prophetic voices ,warning the world since 30+ years. Love you and thank you David Byrne.

[@NativeAmerican10]

He has been. Burning down the house. Is about war. I know all to well. What he is trying to say

[@benneden2580]

LOVE it. Kudos to Colbert for going along with it. These kind of performances stay in people’s minds.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

Yep - and without irony or "look at me, mommy" behavior - just becoming part of the performance, fully aware he is allowed to work with a genius.

[@Major00Tom]

I'm from Chile and this video is how I got to know the Colbert Show. I've been watching ever since.

[@FrancisALuthe]

When I think back to Talking Heads in the late 1970's, and I watch David Byrne today, I am simply amazed. He was way ahead of his time back then and he remains distinctively different now. Even though I was listening mostly to jazz, folk, and R&B back then, I distinctively remember his words: "You may ask yourself..." and I remember that being the very beginning of music videos.

[@flatpointhigh]

"See that Scott?!" Damn it must have felt really good for Stephen to perform with one of his idols, good for him

[@DeadeyeLefty]

Not just that, but to become a stop on the promo tour and be able to give Byrne the Colbert bump. How's that for turnabout ?

[@youreg]

Ha, and we do indeed "see that Scot" too :D

[@BAGAKOOS]

Who's Scott?

[@flatpointhigh]

BAGAKOOS Watch the interview before this performance

[@drewcamero1489]

IXCat yes I see that Scot. Good to see Scottish blood is good for something other than fighting lol.

[@caiofmoraes]

I keep coming back to this performance. So wholesome.

[@trumphatesyou]

John Prine and Stephen singing "That's the Way the World Goes Round" is one of the most heart wrenching things ever!

[@danielaciao1]

Love his voice. The way he moves. Everything. He is so unique. ❤

[@SuperSojourn]

"As it ever Was" Amazing. I going back now to watch it again.

[@hsdgfasdg5646]

I CANNOT understand why someone would dislike this. It's David Byrne for fucks sake.

[@MovieJustin]

this wasn't great. more awkward than the interview.

[@hsdgfasdg5646]

Whoever feels embarrassed or awkward at watching him needs to think... Why? He is comfortable being himself, whatever that is. The insecurities are a product of you and has nothing to do with what you are watching.

[@leadbones]

Embarrassing and awkward? Some seriously stupid comments from what can only be the minds of children. If you don't love this, I truly feel sorry for you, as you have very poor taste and a faint, limited connection with emotions.

[@Tillermiller868]

@@MovieJustin you can’t just say that this wasn’t great because it’s subjective... not even to mention that they each nailed their parts and played them nearly perfect

[@GeneBurnett]

Man, I love this dude. Saw him "live" several years ago here in SW Oregon. He and his band along with a string quartet, got a standing ovation 20 minutes into the show and everyone remained standing and dancing for the rest of the show. And this at a venue where people rarely stand up or dance at all except in small designated areas. But no one could sit. It was just too damn good.

[@sandra3311]

The entire venue was part of that magic. Must have felt amazing. Do you know if it was filmed?

[@baker2niner]

...any Talking Heads concert....

[@GeneBurnett]

I don't believe so...not professionally anyway.

[@alissadesigns89]

Was that on the Look Into The Eyeball tour? I saw him on that as well and had a similar experience. If so - I can make you feel old real quick - that was 2001. I kept thinking of it as a 'few years ago' then looked through my ticket stub collection one day and almost fell over.

[@GeneBurnett]

Hey! I said "several". And I'm keepin' this frisbee. ;~) Not sure what tour it was but 2001 does sound reasonable.

[@zacktadlock5962]

I love that! Go pops!

[@SpinningCastle]

I love everything about this! A glorious gathering of some of favorite performers! David Byrne, Stephen Colbert... and I see you, Kimberly Clark!

[@natashafigueroa9198]

Who is Kimberly Clark? Please tell me she is the amazing guitarist.

[@jessicawheaton9561]

Natasha Figueroa The male backup singer (Chris) is a drag queen who goes by Kimberly Clark and does KZbin videos.

[@kimclarkqueen]

😉❤

[@EvilZoe2]

I was totally watching for you. You looked AMAZING.

[@DivideThatBy9Please]

Yeeessss!! Chris did an amazing job!

[@gpeddino]

The final part a cappella was beautiful. Even the percussionists were singing along.

[@AndrewOvenden]

And you can hear Stephen Colbert's baritone voice also, cool!

[@TheDanVault]

man, i love david byrne

[@CoyKoi57]

What a treat to see him again and what a beautiful composition.

[@DorianStretton]

I've been a fan for over 30 years and David Byrne still blows me away. He is without doubt one of the greatest live performers I've ever seen.

[@ItsMadaleine]

That last part made me cry lol It was really beautiful

[@resplndnt]

Madaleine I’m guessing he has good vocal maintenance, because the voice is an instrument, I’m guessing David drinks a lot of tea and uses a lot of lozenges

[@tiktikivid]

this actually brought tears to my eyes. i want them to come to my house too.

[@hogey74]

From the first shots that widen to show everyone lined up ... awesome!

[@Heysamgrahamcartoons]

classic Byrne and incorporating Stephen was fun to watch!

[@gregoryabraham6565]

[@butchhill6339]

Outstanding performance

[@JohannesWiberg]

Sounds like a Talking Heads classic. David Byrne is a beautiful, unique genius. He might have just escaped from an asylum, but I'm so happy he did.

[@prn0706]

indeed....was my first impression listening to that song...great one...looking forward to seeing him in berlin...

[@Games_and_Music]

And he's never gonna go back to that home

[@JoseGranny]

How did he get there? Did he burn it down?

[@johnfussell4870]

well played,,,I salute you

[@brendanfmahoney]

It's so god damned good.

[@charliegorman1797]

One of the most innovative and creative talents in any artistic field over the last 50 years. Truly exceptional..he should be cherished.

[@danboyle116]

Haven't seen him in ages. Did not disappoint.

[@samsonian]

Good song! I grew up with a healthy rotation of Talking Heads as a child, we also had Byrne’s Brazil Classics compilations of great Brazilian songs and it’s great to see that he hasn’t lost that same sound from the old albums. Listening to the song I was struck most by how great the bassist in the band is. As a true funk believer I always believe that, as Bowie responded to Nile Rodgers’ question, “is this too funky?” while making his seminal album of the 80s Let’s Dance, “Is there such a thing?” Answer: no; you can never be too funky. Glad you’re still around Mr. Byrne, we are all counting on you to keep on keepin’ on!

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

That collection is great came out well over 15yrs ago a lot of Brazil's greatest. I used this as my core for every thrift record cd store visit for those same Brazilian

[@samsonian]

Ronald Petrin might be more like 20 years. If you want a REALLY cool lesser known album with Milton Nascimento check out Native Dancer by Wayne Shorter and vocals by Milton. I grew up with that fantastic album and am pretty surprised how few people have ever listened to it. Straight from the beginning with Ponta de Areia and all the way through is magic.

[@nancylynn7936]

Love!!

[@francadiogo]

Beautiful.This is a great American artist. Congratulations from Brazil.

[@bpaakwaan7325]

Except he was born in Scotland.......

[@francadiogo]

bpaak waan ops! do not say it loud, now the government will want to expel him...

[@TheFamousMockingbird]

bpaak waan yes he was, but left when he as two years old and lived in Canada until he was about 7 or so and seeing as Talking Heads came up in the New York scene. He wasn't living in Scotland long enough for it to be the place that felt like home to him, seeing as he is living in New York.

[@mariagarcia-eggly9833]

David Byrne is a Scot...

[@stephenjett7829]

@@bpaakwaan7325 He was born in scotland But his family moved to Baltimore. He has American Citizenship. Which means he is American and Scottish

[@kscinmichigan7992]

Lucky you! They all ROCK.

[@troybridgeman]

"We're only tourists in this life, only tourists but the view is nice." David Byrne never ceases to amaze and inspire.

[@troybridgeman]

I'll have to check the liner notes - "view" just sounds more touristy.

[@minniewilde9895]

In awe, saw live in Manchester recently and still can't get enough of THE BYRNE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ BIB BYRNE LOVE

[@danielbrosky]

Still creating fresh, vibrant and original music. His voice sounds good; he looks good; the song is good; the style is good; the choreography is good. Thanks to Stephen for getting David to be on the show!

[@andrewpatrick4254]

I adore David Byrne and Stephen Colbert

[@jlbueno0611]

Sometimes i firmly believe that stephen has this type of guest just to let us know what he likes and to educate us on what we are missing ....and to also fulfilled his dream of performing with them...but mostly educate us !! Lok

[@VfletchS]

Now I have to watch "Stop Making Sense" again.

[@gellfex9287]

See Rome 1980, not Demme, but the band was even better, if you can believe that! I saw them on both tours. Fucking Adrian Belew singing through his guitar....

Coolest performance this year. Great song. A true original - can’t ever tire of that. 👍

[@Neanerthebeaner]

Love David Byrne....and so awesome that Colbert was a part of this cool song performance!

That was interestingly good and beautiful. Digging the barefoot vibe. Also, so cool that Stephen got to perform with one of his idols.

[@eljaysmiley]

OMG @Stephen Colbert you're a rockstar now, too!!🥳🎸🎙🎶❤

[@maryrosekent8223]

I can remember watching “Stop Making Sense” at the Castro Theatre (San Francisco’s Landmark Movie Palace) up in the balcony with my friend Donna and the two of us dancing for the entire movie. I still listen to that CD.

[@diannaeversole6622]

Wonderful to see him performing and writing again! Never can get enough of David Byrne!

[@tinydancer8536]

Goosebumps for David Byrne. One of the best.

[@tinydancer8536]

Stephen and David: Went to American Utopia last night with my two daughters. Question: How do you get goosebumps off? If they don't go away by Christmas, am I have to dial 911? Could it have been organized more perfectly? Was I not entertained? Getting people registered to vote as they walked in the door? Senior ladies as ushers? Talking about babies' brains? We were just discussing that in the car on the way to the theater. Protest songs performed with class and grace. I couldn't have asked for anything more. We need to clone your show and have it magically appear every day for the whatever time is left before the election so we can disturb people's consciousness' just long enough to vote for the right person. Just one day of voting is all it will take to make an impact on changing the abhorrent system. David and Stephen...Spread your seeds everywhere please....

[@michaellear6904]

American Utopia , fabulously wonderfully. Full of love and joy and leavened with a heartfelt concern for all humanity and our host with the most, planet earth. I give it 5 Stars.

[@somepoorsoul]

Nice to see a Music Artist doing something. I remember when that was a thing people did.

[@bikebudha01]

anymore the only place I see 'new' music is as guests on late night talks shows. None of the 'new' artists can hold a candle to DB and musicians of old. Which is kinda sad...

[@BNL07604]

Look up Gotye and Lady Gaga. Gotye doesn't "perform" in this sense, but watching him create and perform his music is uplifting.

[@Mike-md7op]

There are actually loads of great artists out there, one just needs to look outside the mainstream. All of the below are great current artists: Knower/Louis Cole, Kamasi Washington, Anomalie, Domi, Snarky Puppy, Thundercat, are a few names that come to mind.

[@MTMF.london]

Stephen Colbert's dream came true - he's been a great fan of David Byrne's and now he gets to perform with him. So envious!

[@katieohara3222]

Awesome! I just saw American Utopia at the Emerson Colonial theater in Boston three nights ago! It was awesome! It's coming to Broadway this month in NYC. David Byrne is still the greatest artist of this generation creating art and music together so beautifully. I still love the Stop Making Sense movie and own it on DVD and CD. I just bought a copy for my girlfriend who came to the show with me. Fantastic! Love you Mr Byrne. Come back to Boston soon! I saw him 30 years ago for his first solo album. He sounds as good today as he did then. 💟💟
