They should definitely watch Talking Heads in action. They’re much better like that imho.

I went through two VHS tapes back in the day. Then when DVD's came out I had 1 until my apartment burned down. Now I have a copy in Blu Ray. Great for doing house cleaning, bopping around the house.!

[@grelch]

The thing about a lot of Talking Heads music is that it’s really funk disguised as new wave. They are downright funky, especially live.

[@DonHaka]

Well the thing about New Wave is that incorporated LOTS of different genres and subgenres. The funk is all over the New Wave movement.

[@jens2049]

Indeed they arent really new wave

[@kenphillips6550]

If I tried running and singing like that I would be more like Redd Foxx, “It’s the big one, I’m coming Elizabeth”

[@kenkeep69]

This concert film was directed by Jonathan Demme, and many agree that it is the best concert film. You need to see the entire thing. The concert begins with just Byrne on stage while subsequent songs add musicians and singers til everyone is on stage. How David Byrne maintained his energy throughout the performance was amazing.

[@brettm2460]

Best concert movie ever. It builds, and it’s brilliant.

[@lynnevetter]

THIS IS IT!! This is the show you need to watch. Sit down on your movie night and watch this show, the whole thing, from start to finish. It is a production! It highlights everyone.. and everyone gives 10,000% energy the whole time. They all get a moment to shine as well from David, to the backup singers, to Alex Weir (guitar)... Amaazing show.

[@hellokimmy68]

That's Tina Weymouth providing that amazing bassline. She is married to the drummer, Chris Frantz, and you can't forget Jerry Harrison rocking out on keyboards. David Byrne gets a lot of recognition and rightfully so, but the other band members are just as awesome at what they do as well. I'm so glad you did this live version, but if you want another really cool TH video, check out "Nothing But Flowers."

[@Kevvinm]

Chris Frantz wrote a book a couple years ago criticizing Byrne for taking more credit than he deserved. Chris Frantz and Tina were also involved in the songwriting .

[@hellokimmy68]

Yeah, he does tend to get a lot more of the credit since he's so front and center, but they are the heartbeat of the band. I can give him a bit of a pass due to his autism, but I know he's not always been the easiest to work with.

[@jpmnewyork]

And she's keeping that steady bass line while dancing. She's amazing.

[@carlosruiz-ob7le]

@@Kevvinm David aportaba la mayoría de las ideas. Aparte, siguió siendo creativo e innovador luego de T.H.. Creo que hay una gran porción de envidia hacia él de parte de Frantz.

Yep. We get to see Bernie Worrell, of Parliament Funkadelic, on keys, also, join in, with this film.

[@johnwolff3206]

The music is so fun and bouncy, don't forget what they are singing about. living during a war, what you have , your needs , what you care about . its actually pretty heavy.

[@rrailguitar2211]

This performance was, for me, the highlight of the "Stop Making Sense" movie, which is saying something because they outdid just about all the studio versions of the songs they performed. Don't forget the synth solos from first Bernie Worrell and second Jerry Harrison. If you're looking for more, how about "Girlfriend Is Better" again from this same show.

[@mamatay7]

Omg, Girlfriend Is Better is one of my faves!!! Slippery People too! 😊

[@daverice2426]

It's definitely a contender. For me it's that moment in "Once in a Lifetime" where the girls and Byrne lean s l o w l y upright with Worrell and Harrison hovering over them like gods; goosebumps every time

[@donnagonatas3155]

That's my favorite song from this show.

[@elcorado83]

I LOVE that song! Girlfriend Is Better is awesome. "Who took the money away.....?"

[@shaunm3206]

Ah yes! The big suit song. It’s again visually amazing.

[@andymageen5308]

We should all be grateful that concerts like this were captured for eternity. This is Talking Heads at their creative and performing peak, they just slay in this performance and I am sure it will still be enjoyed a hundred years from now. This is Classical Music. ✌️

Pure JOY anytime the talking heads perform . Glad you guys enjoy it so much!

[@clementineshammer6808]

Stop Making Sense is considered one of the best concert films ever. They played 3 concerts at the same theater for the film and the band rocked all 3 concerts with same energy throughout. Ot is an amazing movie.

[@LaPinturaBella]

I've loved the Talking Heads since the first time I heard them. This band, the B-52s and David Bowie all possess that avant garde creativity that actually pulls in people of all walks of life. They are each unique. They are all weird but in the coolest way possible. They all have that rare spark of genius at precisely the right time that just happens because it was meant to be. Thanks for responding to the live version, it truly was joyous to watch.

[@bobashley7533]

I was 15-18 years old when Talking Heads were becoming popular. However, in my school, new wave music was not “cool” so we laughed at them, and made fun of how strange they were. In hindsight, I regret that. They are so creative & talented… and musicianship is highly underrated. Love the songwriting, love the performances… love all of it… one of my all time favorites

[@rapsack7058]

Same, but me and my friends were big fans of them. Together with B-52. Eurythmics and so on...

[@mrkrinkle72]

Yeah, I was laughed at for making a DEVO energy dome hat in 3rd grade.

[@markstoudenmire4935]

I listened to SOME of their hits that were on the radio but by and large I was a metalhead and also dismissed them all too easily; I now look back with regret that I didn't listen to them more "back in the day". VERY talented songwriters/performers.

[@lordessducky8494]

I’m around the same age. The Talking Heads and New Wave in general were totally cool with people I knew and hung out with! I guess you were one of those “bullies “that laughed at and made fun of me! 😂 That’s okay, I forgive you. 😄😉

[@michaelbetza199]

Can we talk about how insanely talented they have to be to play bass/guitar while RUNNING IN PLACE?! ❤

[@markzalubas5793]

I don't know what this says about me, but this was my music. This was considered 'normal' to me and my friends. We ate it up. B-52s, Kate Bush, Throwing Muses, Peter Murphy, The Cure, Thomas Dolby, and so many others. So different, but so musical, and so good. I'm glad you are getting into them. It took a few listens, but you are on your way.

"This aint no party, this aint no disco" is one of the best lyrics ever. There aren't many songs about anarchy but this one captures the experience. Thank you guys!

[@e.s.9080]

This early alternative, new wave, pseudo pop rock, funk band was just so much fun. You just could not change the radio station, change the channel on their music videos . I bet their live shows were a blast 👍👍

Best concert film ever made. Saw them a few times in the 80s, so special.

"Stop Making Sense" can double as not only a great concert film, but also a very effective home exercise video.

[@nancyhallatr]

They were wonderful live. I saw them during this tour. The band was a collaboration with drummer Chris Frantz, bassist Tina Weymouth (married to Frantz) and keyboardist Jerry Harrison contributing to the sound. The expansion of the band just made it deeper and richer. Makes sure to see the entire film, Stop Making Sense.

[@UKcanuck55]

Talking Heads were absolute dynamite live.

[@karmakarmakarma]

Saw them in FL when this was their touring band. Bernie Worrell, Steve Scales and Alex Weir took what was already a FANTASTIC band and just shot it into the stratosphere live. One of the best live shows I ever attended (second only to Prince).

[@rocketsforever]

I saw Talking Heads perform this song live on August 23, 1980 at the Heatwave Festival at Mosport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario. Also on the bill were Teenage Head, the B-52s, The Pretenders, Rockpile, Elvis Costello. Fabulous memories of New Wave's Woodstock.

[@jeffw7382]

Whether its for the channel or on your own, I highly recommend watching this whole concert.

[@grahamokeefe9406]

The running in place.... imagine the exhaustion of being in the middle of a war zone. Just trying to survive day to day. And those drum kicks... bombs? Gunshots? Look at the way Alex Weir (the guitarist) "shoots" at Byrne as he runs by.

Talking Heads stood alone. Nobody was even close. "Thinking Man's Punk Rock/Dance Music"

[@InvidiousProductions]

The whole ‘Stop Making Sense’ movie is a trip. It’s a work of art that needs to be seen in its entirety. Great 80s artefact. The other one to see is The Band in ‘The Last Waltz’. Both of these actually changed me as a person.

[@grotsoftsadventuresinelect8868]

Caught the Last Waltz on TV here in the UK back in the early 80s and taped the soundtrack (pre video recorder). Practically wore out the tape. It spoiled me, I don't really like the album versions of any of the songs from it!

[@jazzzman8050]

Amber, you’re the first reactor to this performance I’ve heard to even mention the lyrics! The contrast between the madcap eccentric dance party music, and the dark lyrics is what raises this performance to art. We’ve not had warfare in our homeland since 1865, and Byrne does a poetic job of trying to describe what it might be like in NYC, in the late ‘70’s when this was written. Jay, Byrne is absolutely singing(!) in his own unique style. He never misses a note he goes for, the melody is always there, and he still has the breath to be as weirdly expressive as he wants to be! Not to mention dancing, jogging, rolling on the floor…you know 😆

[@elcorado83]

Not exactly about war but about undercover spies (and I suspect a bit of double meaning about being a celebrity also). "Changed my hair so many times I dont know what I look like..."

I saw this show live back in '84. It was the BEST CONCERT I've ever attended (and I've been to a few goodies). Seriously, just sit down (for a while at least) and watch the whole of 'Stop Making Sense.' It is rightly regarded as being in the argument for the best concert film ever made; best band in the world at the time, at the peak of their powers, filmed by a fabulous director - what more would you like? It starts off brilliantly and just keeps getting better (and funkier) from there. Just watch it!

[@jonathanlocke6404]

Highly recommend "Girlfriend Is Better" from this same live concert video. This features the infamous "big suit"...The physical stamina and conditioning required to perform live like this is extremely high. Near the end, it's one thing for him to jog several laps around the stage; it's another level that the last time around he appears to actually sprint as fast as he possibly can...

I'm 72 years old. I saw this band live twice back in the day. Once with the "Remain in Light" tour in 1981 and once with this tour ("Stop Making Sense") in 1983. Both at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. So much fun. Two of my all-time favorite concerts. Up there with Miles Davis and Joni Mitchell. And, yeah, they did all this choreography when I saw them as well. One of the key players in this band is Bernie Worrell, on the synthesizer all the way to the left. A former member of Parliament/Funkadelic. When I saw them, it was Worrell laying down the basic grooves and hooks, that drove the band. As quirky and unique a musician/human being as Byrne is. Good match.

I saw the Talking Heads in New Orleans during this tour and it remains one of the best concerts I have ever seen. The staging and lighting were so creative. They started with a completely empty stage and gradually added platforms, instruments and musicians until the whole stag was full. The song in this video was the last song, so they put their full energy into it.

I saw this same tour when it was in Toronto in the summer of 1983 and it was hands down the best concert I have ever been at. And yes, they did keep this energy up the whole two hour show; you physically could not stay in your seat. The bad news was this was also their last tour. David Byrne has toured with a stage show that is pretty unique called American Utopia so you should check out some of the videos of that tour which are pretty unique in their staging.

[@MattSimons]

I'm glad you friends like Talking Heads. They are the best, sometimes. Bernie on keyboards!!! is almost always best. You made me smile today.

[@A10thunderbolt]

Don’t sleep on the band they assembled for that tour. The guy on the keyboard synth is Bernie Worrell, co-founder of Parliament Funkadelic and one of the most sampled artists in hip hop. The guitarist is Alex Weir, the production genius behind The Brothers Johnson. The women are Lynn Mabry and Edna Holt of Parliament-Funksdelic and She-Funk. One of the advantages of being old is I saw this tour twice in Los Angeles and the energy was relentless.
