First time hearing | Talking Heads | Life during Wartime| REACTION

[@overd002]

Talking Heads is one of my favorite bands. Not only are they terrific musicians but amazing performers. They made a full length motion picture of their concert. It's title is: "Stop Making Sense". I think you would enjoy it. Thank you for reacting to this song.

[@debbiedebster5806]

I consider this one of my favorite "movies"😉

[@trumphatesyou]

Why do people fail to mention the Movie "American Utopia"

[@jsteinberg48]

“Stop Making Sence” was Directed by Jonathan Demme who also directed “Silence of the Lambs”

[@DharmaBeing]

Love this tune and your reaction . . . thanks for not stopping it and just enjoying the flow.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

What a great pick! T Heads are a category unto themselves. First album in 1976. This song was from their groundbreaking 1978 album, Life During Wartime. This performance is part of a live show and concert movie they did in early 80's, at the height of their popularity. it was amazing and I saw it several times in art-house theaters with everybody dancing in the aisles. and the volume turned up really really loud. They are one of my favorite all-time bands. you could pretty much pick any song from this stop making sense show, and you would probably find it fascinating. These songs meant a lot to the fans because they were already familiar with all of these songs but they had never seen them done live with this extended band composed of some incredibly talented performers. David Byrne, frontman in the white suit, has got to be one of the most creative personalities ever. he has been involved in so many different projects, it's mind-boggling.

[@michaelrose1337]

Song was from album titled Fear of Music (1979) - Video is from Johnathan Demme's concert fild "Stop Making Sense"

[@southernwanderer7912]

This is one of my favorite songs and videos from the Talking Heads. Their stamina is off the charts. This is one of the most unique bands you'll ever come across.

[@samlewis7878]

Great reaction----The Talking Heads are one of the most original sounding bands of the era. Really beautiful, fun sounds. Yes, potent, joyful unique....full of life and good will.

[@hollysmith9979]

I saw them live when they toured promoting this album and talk about phenomenal!!! Great song and concert probably one of the best concerts I've seen......glad you're enjoying it❤

[@eljayr517]

You have to watch the whole concert, an amazing event, so original

[@howardkip99]

The problem I see when people react to this song is that they are so overwhelmed by the amazing energetic performance that they completely miss how dark and dystopian the lyrics are.

[@shawnh7930]

If i remember correctly the song is about them touring for a year straight to hone their chops because Byrne didn't think they were ready to record an album

[@kdfox2007]

One of the greatest live performances every. The music is great and the entertainment value is fantastic.

[@pamagnolia]

This was marvelous!! Great musicians and performers. A lot of fun!!!

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Talking Heads is one of the greatest bands that came out of the 80's.

[@alittlebitgone]

70s

[@EbefrenRevo]

i think this song is pretty relevant even today.

[@kittyhendriks4556]

I lost count of how often I saw the movie of this concert, long long time ago... With "Burning down the house" as my favorite song. Great to watch it again with you 😊

[@ticnatz]

Best concert film EVER !!!!!!!!

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Thank you Sarah for reacting to my request..... Can't wait for your SADE Reaction. Sade - The Sweetest Taboo (Live 2011). 🤞✌

[@SarahDengler]

I checked it out but unfortunately it's been blocked, it might be a while before it's released

[@PowderedToastMan420]

@@SarahDengler Okay. I hope that you liked it. Her entire DISCOGRAPHY is AMAZING. ✌️

[@cwegers3]

Happy to come across you (liked and subscribed). This was my favourite band as a teenager. They really had a huge impact on me. So much honest fun, not to mention the music. Check out 'Burning down the house' , from the same concert.

[@SarahDengler]

Thanks so much

[@piphughes2650]

Such fun presentation for so dark a subject! So clever!

[@wayne00k]

I just have to say that I am so happy to see that another person, YOU, had such joy listening to this song - I no longer feel alone! Thank you little sister :)

[@richardhargrave6082]

Talking Heads are another eclectic rabbit hole! Totally unique, totally brilliant. Great reaction, you're right, so much energy!

[@guitarjonn7103]

Fun reaction to a fun song and performance. What I like also is the irony between the dark lyrics and the fun groove. Pure Talking Heads.

[@shemanic1]

Talking Heads tour & video "Stop Making Sense" (which this comes from) is a masterpiece of performance, energy & music. Well worth your attention, from its simple beginning to climax.

[@MisterWondrous]

The entire "Stop Making Sense" audio and video are superb, as are the songs on "Naked", and many others. Thanks for this beautiful reaction. Hope you play more!

[@Faltor895]

Naked is kind of an odd first choice. I would say that's actually their worst studio album. A lot of people rip on True Stories, but it is consistently fun and catchy, something that can't be said of Naked. They tried to go less pop on Naked and return to their adventurous earlier albums, but their songs were weaker.

[@MisterWondrous]

@@Faltor895 De gustibus non est disputandum. Raised on Prog, classical and jazz, I found most of the band's music to be basically pop music by comparison, but it was a lot of good fun. True Stories was a fun couple of hours. I sorta remember two songs from it. There was no "Cool Water", however, or "Democratic Circus", or "Mr. Jones", or "Blind". Dave is a nice fellow. I support him.

[@jameslenahan6075]

I love the commentator's beautiful, expressive face.

[@dwighthaas1771]

Each stage song movements reflects the video.

[@davyhill23]

Dystopian storyline made fun

[@stephanieeverett2461]

Great reaction!!!

[@amandathibodeau4996]

Love this song and the video!! Incredible!!

[@eldritchshiner]

I saw this tour at the Fox theater in Atlanta. It was awesome!

[@keymack2477]

Great reaction, Sarah! I love this performance, and actually saw Stop Making Sense when it first came to the theatres way back in the day! From the same soundtrack/concert I would highly recommend "Psycho Killer"and "Take Me To The River" when you get the urge to dip your toes back into Talking Heads one fine day!!

[@sle2470]

Great reaction! You should check out the whole film, Stop Making Sense. It's a blast!

[@saraheart2804]

Sometimes, music is just fun!

[@HunterMann]

Great reaction video! As others have said, this is a clip from the full length concert film “Stop Making Sense”. It is currently being shown again in many theaters in the U.S. Sept.-Nov. 2023) Treat yourself to a concert experience by seeing this film on the big screen!

[@jdw9397]

Loved it‼️😄

[@kwcribb42]

Good video to watch for your introduction to The Talking Heads. Suggest you watch the whole concert "Stop Making Sense"

[@rodbrown8934]

Back in late 70s, Dire Straits were their support act.

[@tryharder75]

respect to Jonathan Demme who went on to direct Silence of the Lambs

[@yaktaxi1234567]

more of this band please

[@jsteinberg48]

Great movie. What headphones are those? Great design.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

Oh, You are my African Queen. I’m a white boy of Norwegian decent, but I have my eyes on you.

[@Tele-dude]

A song suggestion “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago. It always leaves me with goosebumps.

[@user-Terry314]

Apparently an awful lot of LSD was taken on that tour. True.

[@dariodaverio7968]

Felt in ❤️ when I was kid

[@davidpost428]

Suggest from this same show: "Talking Heads - Take Me To The River". David Byrne was a force and Tina Weymouth on guitar and her husband Chris Franz on drums were all terrific!

[@terenceingledew1442]

8 think that you enjoyed that Ms Dengler,

[@NondescriptMammal]

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

Hi Ms. S., Not sure what it is, but I like it.. ♠W.G.

TINA!!!!!!!!!

[@TheNeonRabbit]

I lost like 6 pounds just watching this

[@joshuaboudreau5258]

Ah, the age of cocaine energy!

[@davidcooks5265]

Hello 🤗

[@stuartbrittain7835]

In answer to your last question....speed

[@justinatest9456]

I have no use for 80s New Wave music, very little use for this band (although Psycho Killer is a good song), and no use for dancing or choreographed acts. But I love everything about this video.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

If I were in charge of prisons, I’d start every day blasting this because it’s joy, pure joy. Turn off Faux News, turn on the Talking Heads!

[@vincentschmitt7597]

Well there's no way to be initiated to the Talking Heads but jump in. This concert movie Stop Making Sense is loaded with fun tunes and visuals.

[@martyjansing2675]

you need to be in good shape to do Talking Heads. If one should get brave they should try Dave Byrnes and Brian Eno REGIMENT (Tribal Fusion Dance). It a real workout!!!

[@sst3d]

Check the lyrics… not as fun as you think..

[@SarahDengler]

Uh oh, I was too into what was going on, on stage that I didn't even pay attention to the lyrics
