The fact that this band can still freak people out 35 years later is awesome.

[@bminturn]

I think that younger generations have definitely lost the taste for dissonance or irony in art. "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco..." to that groove is obviously the artist intentionally creating a dissonance but it just goes over younger listeners' heads.

[@wadsworthaaron]

The Talking Heads got together in the mid-late 70s... their timeless music/art is still blowing minds 40 years later. Genius stuff!

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

You know David Byrne has to be proud!

[@imdabigdilfdondodah5689]

@@bminturnim a younger fan of this band so tell me, what is dissonant about that part of the song?

[@bminturn]

@@imdabigdilfdondodah5689 the dissonance is the lyrics bounced off of the up-tempo groove. I mean "heard of some grave sites out by the highway" doesn't really match the feel of the music.

[@MBighk]

David Byrne developed the entire staging concept for this show. The film this is from -- Stop Making Sense -- is considered one of the best concert films of all time. It was directed by one of America's best directors, Jonathan Demme. You owe it to yourself to see the entire thing in one sitting (preferably on a large screen with a good sound system so you can dance along).

[@robinjohnston24]

I also loved the fact that it was at The Pantages, a (relatively) small venue. It’s almost like the entire gig is a series of clues, leading the viewer through a story. It’s a masterpiece of production.

[@Bulshitero]

I saw it multiple times when it first came out in theaters, own a copy of vhs, dvd and bluray i regret not to have been there at pantages to watch it live since i lived in the area (l.a.).

[@ptrlxc]

Great film … they capture all his energy

[@islandseeker1260]

Although not a concert film, 'True Stories' was also an excellent quirky film featuring songs from the album with the same name, and showcasing the genius of David Byrne.

[Verse 1] Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons Packed up and ready to go Heard of some gravesites out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town [Chorus 1] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey I ain't got time for that now [Verse 2] Transmit the message, to the receiver Hope for an answer some day I got three passports, a couple of visas You don't even know my real name High on a hillside, the trucks are loading Everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime and I work in the nighttime I might not ever get home [Chorus 2] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B I ain't got time for that now [Verse 3] Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.? You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody'll see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play [Bridge] Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard I ain't got time for that now [Outro] Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now I don't know what I look like You make me shiver, I feel so tender We make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving You ought to get you some sleep Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace The burning keeps me alive Get your instructions Follow directions--

Tina Weymouth is perhaps the most underrated bassist of all the '80s bands. She lays down a solid pattern on virtually every one of the Talking Heads' songs.

[@ohhkayy0919]

Absolutely agree 1000%

[@chriscunnyngham]

She's incredible at knowing what notes NOT to play.

[@northlander4370]

[@madmatteomountain]

Tina is the GOAT!!

[@benshafer5198]

You have to be in excellent cardio vascular shape to be in David's band(s) lol. He's the kind of guy, as an ex-art student, that treated his band and every song as an art project. The track is seemingly about some sort of nondescript dystopian time of civil unrest. He never really clarified it that I've seen, but certainly no time for fun or distraction other than aerobics, apparently. Brilliant band! 🔥

[@marialupinacci5283]

I thought I heard somewhere that the song was supposed to be sung from the point of view of a terrorist but more about how their day-to-day life was. Like a typical day in the life of a terrorist.

[@SyntagmaStation]

Haha! No kidding!

[@cahillgreg]

It was inspired by stories of the French Resistance in WWII, the darkness of the lyrics (which few people actually listen to or comment on) contrasts with the funky high energy of the music.

I had the VHS version in need a digital copy.

[@lumpyfishgravy]

Surely one of the most influential New Wave tracks ever.

[@2Quietus]

Talking Heads are(were) an eccentric band with a VERY eccentric lead singer. The quirky movements and odd behaviour is part of the package that made them stand out and unique in a time when we were bombarded by great bands in concert and radio. They certainly carved their own unique niche into the musical tapestry of the 80's and, so happens, one of my favorite bands from that era in the genre.

[@listeningto8371]

[@rcovel1960]

One of the great live performances I have ever seen. Never gets old.

[@sideline5519]

Great song! Great concert! Such an unique band. They are in my top 5. But you need to let them grow on you for their quirkiness to not be distracting. They are truly Funky and Nerdy. Perfect mix.

[@sideline5519]

The keyboardist in this is the late great Bernie Worrell formerly of Parliament Funkadellic one of the creators of the 70s funk movement. This entire concert is amazing it starts with just Byrne and an acoustic guitar and builds with the addition of an instrument with each track, super high energy awesomeness.

Brad&Lex, you'll love their "Crosseyed And Painless", “And She Was” and "Cities"!!! edit- they mentioned The Mudd Club and CBGB. These were famed NYC venues for underground/punk rock/new wave bands, where they played.

[@jaquestraw1]

One of the very best concert videos ever "Stop Making Sense" Saw them several times and was lucky enough to be at this show in LA.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

I think the song is about how now people can't enjoy anything because they do so much just to survive. You know "This ain't no party/ This ain't no disco /This ain't no fooling around". Everything is serious

I'll say it again: Greatest rock n roll concert film. Ever. Oh, and Talking Heads are a FUN band. Relax and have fun!!

[@SG-js2qn]

This song is a classic, as is the performance (from the documentary "Stop Making Sense"). Next, from the same concert, you should do "Girlfriend is Better." "Slippery People" is also a super catchy tune.

[@jazzzman8050]

We have not had any major warfare in our country since 1865. We don’t know what that’s really like. David Byrne was trying to imagine living in NYC during a war. Taking a side, being committed. To offset the heavy lyric content, the band wrote this iconic party/dance music. And the stagecraft and showmanship raise it all to true art. Fun, absurdist, and deeply troubling all at once. Think of Ukraine…a lot of people a lot like us are living through this.

[@williamburke1882]

Truly one of the greatest live performances in recorded musical history IMHO glad you enjoyed it.

[@Nickel138]

This concert is one of my favorites. The song “Slippery People” from this concert is really good. (Mavis Staples even did a cover of the song!) When you get back to them it’s worth taking a look. I’d recommend watching the whole concert. It’s called “Stop Making Sense.” I’ve watched at least 30+ times. It just makes you feel good. It starts out with one person for the first song, two for the second, and keeps adding on and getting crazier.

About 5 years ago, I was sitting at my desk, at work, and I blurted out a couple of lines from this song. And when I stopped, the 19 year old intern to my left, picked up the next 2 lines. I turned and looked at him and asked "How do you know this song." He replied "My dad plays Talking Heads a lot. I love classic rock." Yeah it was like getting stabbed in the heart when he referred to it as Classic Rock. But I do love when the younger generation enjoys the music I grew up with. And it doesn't sting anymore, when those bands are called classic.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

One of the greatest bands ever but they just are so odd when you first encounter them. David Byrne has such a sense of humor. The fans already knew this song because it was a big radio hit not just on alternative radio but it crossed over to rock and other stuff and it had come out on an earlier album a couple years before, and that whole album is incredible, but life during wartime as a song, starts off that entire album, and the name of the album is, fear of music. So everybody already knew it and a lot of their songs although there was a good deal of newer stuff for this huge concert extravaganza/ movie. So it was just fantastic to watch this huge stage performance of a song that we already knew and loved.

[@BoondockRoberts]

[@inexplicablyleft2729]

The frenetic movements on stage go well with the lyrics. The lyrics are great, so many memorable lines. I can't say why, but I love "I got some groceries, some peanut butter, to last a couple of days / Ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones, ain't got no records to play".

[@zebratroopfan6695]

Best concert film I’ve seen. Funky as hell. You guys need to watch the entire thing.

[@mpig66de]

About the meaning of the song, my take is that it is a spoof of all the clichés found in war/spy/action movies. The band running all through the performance underlines how these movies focus more on keeping the action going rather than trying to develop the plot and the characters. Each single verse could be a quote from a screenplay, and the fact that they don't seem to fit together to build a sensible story is again a comment on how the plot of action movies is often only a pretext to introduce a sequence of fights, high speed chases, explosions and such. BTW, love your channel.

[@billfraser7616]

I was lucky enough to see Talking Heads on this tour back in '83. It was amazing. An entire arena up and dancing the whole time. The Stop Making Sense movie captures it perfectly.

[@drea4195]

Everyone focuses on the lead singer, but let's give credit where it's due to the entire band. They all collaborated to write the music and create these incredible performances. As far as I'm concerned, Tina, Jerry, and Chris were geniuses just as much as Dave.

The other players in this performance are also incredible, like Bernie worrell on keys

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Funny enough David Bryne (lead singer) said the whole thing was choreographed. Even the little interactions throughout the concert were choreographed. They filmed this near the end of the tour, so doing all the shows over and over again it becomes all choreographed.

[@ceciliawilson6328]

Such a great live performance. At their performing peak. They were a very theatrical band, not a rock and roll band. Came out of the art school college scene.

[@twwtjohns]

I once read Bruce Springsteen runs six miles every morning to stay in shape for his shows. I'm guessing David Byrne does an Ironman competition a couple of times per week to perform like this.

[@johnlittle3430]

Great band, and David Byrne continues to be energetic and quirky at 70. I saw one of the first dates of his 2018 tour (which I believe is still ongoing) in Buffalo and then again a few months later in Toronto, and it was incredible. A dozen musicians and dancers at least to support him, and they were all wireless and doing incredibly choreographed movements. About half the setlist was Talking Heads songs and the other half was more recent solo material. It was an excellent show and everybody in the theatre was on their feet by the second song.

[@DocRobert]

In a nearby parallel dimension, David Byrne’s style of dancing caught on and now we all dance like that.

They met while students at Rhode Island Institute of Fashion. What you were watching is one of the greatest concert films of all time STOP MAKING SENSE (1984) directed by Jonathan Demme.

Saw Talking Heads live about a month before this concert movie was recorded, so I did see virtually the same show, and David Byrne, the lead singer, was all over the place. If you watch the whole "Stop Making Sense" movie it starts with just Byrne, an acoustic guitar and a boom box with a backing tape doing "Psycho Killer", and then the band members are added one or two per song until everyone is on stage. It was very cool live. Bassist Tina Weymouth is truly amazing, and is one of the most influential of all Punk/New Wave musicians. EVER. BTW, David Byrne has publicly stated that he is Autistic, so that may help account for some of his on stage activity.

Saw it a month after they recorded it in Sydney Australia. 40,000 at a 3 day Festival. Also saw, The Pretenders and INXS on the same night. David Byrne came on stage around midnight, running over an hour late, thought he was playing acoustic guitar to placate the crowd as they were setting up. Little was I about to know that I was about to witness a concert and stage show by a band who at the time was my favourite, that has spoilt me for live music ever since. Nearly 40 years has passed and have never witnessed anything better.

From their Stop Making Sense stage show. Saw it a 3 day rock festival in Sydney Australia Jan 1984. Was mesmerized by the whole thing. They released a film of the Stage Show later that year, filmed by Jonathon Demme in Dec 1983 in LA. Band consisted of guys like Bernie Worrell, the keyboardist from James Brown, the black guitarist is a cousin of the Brothers Johnson , the back up singers were phenomenal. Everything was choreographed to minute detail and David Byrne was into theatrics therefore the weird dancing. Do yourself a favour and stream Stop Making Sense. It will ALL make sense then :)

The Talking Heads movie called "Stop Making Sense" was just like this. He's like a marathon runner that never gets tired. If I remember this clip may be from that 1984 movie. Loved it & saw it several times.
