I played this song for my dad as he died. He always told me that he thought this is what heaven would be like, a place where nothing ever happens. I'm learning to sing and play this on guitar so I can play it at his memorial next month. he's been gone for almost a year. I miss him so much. The Talking Heads were a huge part of our relationship.

@@fosmith61 I noticed some of that too, but her voice is also quite prominent and a distinctive counterpoint to Byrne. Neither of them have pure, classical tones, nor does the music itself, which is really a deconstructive form of rock music. Byrne and the band were so original and innovative, evolving increasingly with a theatricality to their shows. Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel also featured interpretive movement, dance, etc. to accent their performances. Here, with McDonald, she performs along that continuum, and is fully on board. In my view, though I don't particularly enjoy her singing individually, I think it works quite effectively with the band. That dystonic sound pairs well with Talking Heads dystopian vision...Belew's cacophony is marvelous...

Wow I must say, I stumbled across this after watching a Police vid. I'm 55 and admit I never really gave the Heads the time of day growing up. Sure I knew the songs from the radio play. But after watching this I have a new respect for the Heads. I loved it. Never knew Adrian Belew played with them at any point. I sure heard the King Crimson sound come out in I Zimbra. Awesome. Priceless video to have now and look back on those days. 80 and 81 were some of the best years ever in music.

I attended thousands of live shows, pretty much anybody thats any good, and if I have to choose the best one, the TH concert from this tour was probably it. Even the opening act Tom Tom Club was great.

Adrian Belew has brought outstanding new elements to the Talking Heads' already virtuosic concerts. If we don't watch the film, just listen to it, we often get the impression that King Crimson is playing.

We just didn’t know how good we had it. Almost every week in New York we had great bands to go see live. For an affordable price. I mean, 60 bucks to see a show was a lot at that time. This band was amazing and I got to see them.

60 bucks !!!! I paid less than $20.00 to see the Bad Brains, Butthole Surfers, Prince, The Cure, New Order in the 80s and you are sooooo fuckin right we had so much great, ORIGINAL, DIVERSE music coming at us. Everything from Lou Reed, Blondie, Bad Brains, Fugazi, X, Simple Minds, Bowie, Prince, Kenny Rodgers, Dolly to Steven Vai, Van Halen, Police, Tears for Fears, Madonna, Springsteen, Doobie Bros, Monie Love, Tito Puente, Special ED, Teena Marie, Poor Righteous Teachers to Cher, Elvis, the Stones, Led Zep, Sabbath, Santana, Stevie, Marvin, Rufus, Commodores, Isleys, Hall and Oates, Talking Heads, Whitney, Donna, we had the icons, the legends, pioneers and it was fucking wonderful

Led Zeppelin 12 bucks, stones 20 bucks, dead 4 bucks, Television 8 dollars same as the THs on the Bowery. Mahahvishnu 3 dollars same for every concert at college. Stopped jitterbugging after Pearl Jam…50 bucks. Heads in Poughkeepsie 83 one of my top three all time and heaven knows I have been around. Used to see Twisted Sister for two dollar cover at local watering holes. The burbs of NYC was a great place to grow up and be educated. Peace

I was turned on to Adrian in 1982 The Lone Rino. Love "Big Electric Cat". Saw the heads in 81. Great show. They blew both generators and had to do 60% of the show with house lights. Diminished, but still great. "Lone Rhino "Lone Rhino" "Lone Rhino"
