Stop Making Sense ( 2023 remaster)- audience dancing in the aisles

Screening of the remastered film Stop Making Sense, starring The Talking Heads. Shown at The Castro Theater, San Francisco, California, October 6, 2023. This is the last song: Crosseyed and Painless

[@JeffGes]

We saw it four times and every showing had full-blown mass dancing.

How dope. Took my dad to see the film. Was great to get to see it on the big screen for the first time. Still very jealous that he got to see it when it first came out in theaters. Either way…

[@lestranged]

I saw the movie when it first came out, but even better, I saw the Talking Heads live twice during the Stop Making Sense tour ( when the movie was filmed). Plus 2 other tours before that.

Big dance-offs happened at plenty showtimes in Los Angeles too. Totally unexpected for me. It was amazing!

[@rickgaeta2206]

I just recently went to one of these showings ... Best date night ever! I highly recommend it

[@reachbk101]

I was blessed to have gone see the concert in the '70s without knowing what I was getting into. I was an invited guest. And oh my goodness!! What a thrill it was to see it and now realize I wasn't the only one that thought it was absolutely great.

[@lestranged]

The Stop Making Sense tour was 1984. Do you mean you saw the Talking Heads in the 70's?

My brother (10 yrs old at the time) came to visit me my freshman year in college for Sibling Weekend and Stop Making Sense was playing at the Co-Ed Theatre in campus town. He decided that night he wanted to be in a band. Roughly 3.5 years later while home on break I took his first band to see Iron Maiden at the New Haven Coliseum. After a full night of headbanging, he decided he wanted to be in a metal band. In 2001 I got to see his band celebrate their signing to Capitol Records (with help from Sharon Osbourne) at the Viper Room… followed by several summers on Ozzfest.. during which time in several interviews he pointed to the significance of the Talking Heads film and Maiden gig on his life path. Moral to this story: SEE THIS FILM IN A THEATER! Get up and dance! Chase down your dreams! Yes, this IS your beautiful house. That IS your beautiful wife. Live your best life!

What band was he in?

[@kevin6667]

@@johndiloreto3738 otep.. and several others in Connecticut and California. He’s playing in a few projects currently while teaching special ed and pursuing his masters degree. He’s still my favorite bass player.

We were dancing in Chicago, too. Such a fun time.

Oh me too! At the music box!

[@packagedfailure]

the audiance at our showings was completely still, they didnt move at all. it was heart breaking. my mom and i were busting a fucking move though

[@gerrykp]

OMG! I wish I were there! Our theatre was a snooze fest! I was going crazy!!!

[@lestranged]

I picked this theater because I knew it would be the best crowd. The only IMAX near me showing it was out in the suburbs and I knew that would be a hard place to dance- IMAX theatres are usually steeply raked so the aisles are stairways and you can't dance in that. The Castro isn't a huge high tech screen, it's an old art deco movie theater- but it was a party!

This is one of the coolest fucking things I've ever seen

[@QuementRBLX]

I remember like a month ago me and my father drove all the way to Winnipeg (Which is like 3 hours from where I live) Because that was the only theatre near me that had it playing, to say the least when I was watching it I for some reason shed a tear because I was just so happy to see it. I loved every song, I am glad that we didn't go to the screening that happened when we arrived to Winnipeg as we could have missed a song or two.

[@myHorribleMusic]

When I saw it in England, there were three people (me included) in the audience. The other two looked bored. Insane.

[@cfsbrisbane9539]

Wow! Looks like a phenomenal time! I hope that the screenings here in Brisbane, Australia, will be as lively. Still waiting.

[@FrankJSelkeIV]

saw it a couple months back in San Francisco, theater was almost totally empty (maybe 7-8 people total) but it was still great and we hit the vape pen, good time. this video rules btw.

[@sunibunny5]

I saw it yesterday in Kino in Vienna- so great - fenomenal! I listen their musik with my older cusins as I was a kid, in Ex Yugoslavien. Later as a student... for a first time I experienced the band live on the big screen and I really love it! Such an energy and joy, very autentical. Without glamour - and almost nacked female singees...no fake erotik, and still - such a good groove and atmosphere! THANKS

BEST CONCERT FILM OF ‘83!

[@mishtaromaniello8295]

Maybe the best concert film of any year.

[@RJJNY]

This is how to do it! Just like when it first showed at Scala all-nighters in London during the 80s.

[@Ami483]

Can't wait for a New Year party.. blasting this wonderful music.

[@MrUndersolo]

Saw it in a theatre ages ago. No dancing then. But I will be up and shaking when I see the rerelease! I'm still waiting...

[@matn.a.2061]

WOw, what wouldn't I do to dance along to Crosseyed and Painless (and the whole concert) in a theater! Shame they're not probably showing this newly remastered movie in my country.

[@JordanVanRyn]

HOLY SHIT!! That looks awesome! I wish I was there when it was happening! Talking Heads is epic!!

[@Joao3961]

Still waiting in Brazil

[@philippecerise978]

Amazing! First time I saw it I didn't even know the band, but it was a musical revelation to me! No... it's an exorcism! But there were not many people in the hall, so no freaked out dancing for poor old me, only in my seat. Germans seem to be less outgoing, I guess. Still went to see the movie three more times!

[@jmason61]

Back when the OG film played we did the same thing in a grunge NYC theater

[@TenMinuteTrips]

I loved this film but I had to leave a comment to this video. As I’m watching this, I feel like I’m watching a clip from an old episode of “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” except with more robots.

STILL WAITING

Debieron traerla a México. Ganas de estar así

[@tombirner]

I wanted to dance but I was/am far too self-conscious.

[@RotorSpotter_]

I guarantee you half the people in this video are too. Nobody cares about you more than you do, man. You gotta let go. You’re restricting yourself from greatness. Trust me. I’ve been in your shoes. Your comment sounds like a cry for help
