That is the perfect description of this band: tribal funk. The fusion of sound here is so fresh and innovative, just bursting with raw energy and individual creativity. All members of the band soar with a freedom of spirit, becoming a wonder to behold. It struck me that the unique essence of Byrne, with his Asperger's-like qualities, fosters unbridled responses in others, plainly displayed in his band. They are a continuation of his vision, offering a unique and boundless interpretation of life. Remember the line from the Crosseyed and Painless track, "Facts cut a hole in us." It is almost like Byrne transcends reality, revealing something about ourselves that we weren't aware of, but was always there. His ability to recognize those subconscious ideas, describe them in his lyrics, then express them in his music, is astonishing. Perhaps we should consider the notions of other similarly affected people, such as Greta Thunberg, and take them a bit more seriously. Differences can be bazaar, but they can also lead to new ways of doing things. We are often so afraid of change and reluctant to do things a different way. However, as Talking Heads revealed, new ways can be downright glorious!

"Talking Heads in Rome 1980" with Adrian Belew it's not just a concert, It's a "milestone"! It is a mystical experience, ten artists in a state of divine inspiration who play as they have never done before and will never do after, and a gigantic and monumental Adrian Belew who finds creative solutions that make the pieces of Remain in Light unique and different from the studio album , he engages in explorations of sounds that will make him cited as the white Jimi Hendrix and gives the band's sound openings, electric landscapes and languid reverberations to the amplifiers that will inspire future generations from Japan to Guns N' Roses! The songs from "Remain in Light" without Adrian Belew will never sound like they did on that tour again.

Adrian guitar playing sends chill through my spine from 1:58 to 2:50 on the energy he puts out into this song! Adrian is one of the best underrated guitar players ever.

This live version has more of a Krautrock vibe than the studio version. Groovy as hell.

Adrian Belews guitar solos are amazing in this. He is probably the most underrated session musician in rock history.

talking heads were already four very accomplished musicians; by inviting these amazing people to play with them on the RIL tour they created such a tight team, still unmatched in mainstream music today. imho their best tour

I play this song basically everyday and I imagine myself in the corner unplugged just in the moment there lol, and at the end I give everyone in the band a high five haha.
