Talking Heads - Born Under Punches - Rome, Italy - 1980 (Reaction)

[@timhaines2894]

Unbelievable band!! Anything off of the album Remain in Light is genius!

[@beatawallace5725]

The tom tom club, is the bass, and keyboard player of this band. Genius of love, great song. Sure you heard a sample of it, somewhere.

[@jasonbrown2114]

Drummer too. Drummer and bassist are a package deal, as they are married.

[@beatawallace5725]

@@jasonbrown2114 cool, I wasn't sure after I posted , what he played.

[@F28aj]

Bernie Worrel the keyboard player was in Parliament Funkadelic

Talking Heads, I remember 10/1980. I bought two records with my dads help, Wherehkuse records. Prince’s Dirty Mind and TH’s Remain in Light. Both seminal albums. I didn’t truly appreciate what they were doing at the time.true super group. At some points a triple guitar attack, double bass with addition of Buster, who once played with the Ramones! Ms. Dolette, forever immortalized on The Rolling Stones, Gimme Shelter. Bernie Worrel may he RIP one of the creative masterminds behind P-Funk. And the incomparable Adrien Belew, later to join King Crimson. What a line up! Are u kidding me!!!

[@johncarolina4950]

I really appreciate you getting this done for me! Talking Heads live was one of the things I discovered in quarantine. This is over 40 years old and still totally cutting edge. One of the best live bands of all time.

[@TeezMcGee]

Yea I was like you know what, I’m doing this shxt tonight 🤣😂🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@johncarolina4950]

@@TeezMcGee I would never make you listen to something that wasn't great

[@dangabbert3944]

What a great performance! I miss that band.

[@AqueousMantra]

That guy playing the weird guitar noise is Adrian Belew, he was in Zappa's band haha of course. David Bowie discovered him, and he played with King Crimson. And dude you would probably like King Crimson. They do A LOT of poly-rhythm stuff that puts you in a trance

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Adrian Belew's solo work is amazing as well. Twang Bar King was one of my favorite albums when I was 14 and it holds up well.

[@throwabrick]

Check out "Crosseyed and Painless" from the finale of Stop Making Sense. It has the same dense, trippy vibe but with a more driving, urgent beat.

[@AqueousMantra]

And play the intro like 5 times

[@Alsatiagent]

Definitely!

[@johncarolina4950]

It must be amazing as an artist or performer to be able to look back at something like this and see yourself and your friends clicking so deeply and making something so colossal happen. Live music is amazing.

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Brilliant :-) I feel so lucky to have come up during the 70s/80s because of the funk, punk, reggae, ska, new wave

[@lewismaddox4132]

I especially liked Dolette MacDonald singing those angelic backup harmonies. Oh, and that guy that periodically smashed the shit out of the pie tins. That was good! "I'm a government man!"

[@bodacioustness5054]

Adrian Belew's solo on the studio version of this song (which I bought in 1980!) is my favorite guitar solo ever.

[@rayisrayrayisray896]

I love Spike Lee's collaboration with David Byrne from the Talking Heads. Byrne did a great job on Janelle Monae's song too.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

The masters of rhythm, funk, and sound.

[@kevinfisher4768]

Hell yes. More talking heads! They are so damn good. And live stuff is fire.

[@thetextpistols7354]

There it is! The first dude you see in the video is MC Ride.

[@deeg8849]

Jimi, Sly Stone, James Brown, Miles and Funkadelic would be proud. It’s in the groove yall

[@rustynail3743]

With the great stunt guitar player Mr. Belew.

[@sabre6986]

This is my theme song for a rough life! Never give up!

[@bminturn]

This is a rabbit hole. A rabbit hole filled with a surprising amount of funk for a "smart" white band. Or mostly white anyway. I love these guys. You'd do well to just go through their catalogue from start to finish. But I would suggest "Life During Wartime" live for your next nugget. Then "This Must Be the Place" - it's one of the top love songs ever written, IMO - with a definite Talking Heads twist on the subject. It's deep though. So much deeper than romantic love. Have fun in your search.

[@quirkypurple]

Oh.. hope you go on a Talking Heads buzz! :D Love them!

[@alanlantz5131]

That was ultra tough

[@jameshannagan4256]

This whole show is awesome Houses In Motion is my personal fav.

[@blitztim6416]

40 years ago. Try 'The Great Curve' from the same concert. Thank me later.

[@blitztim6416]

Insane rhythms. Faster beat.

[@stephengheen1525]

Defently cross-eyed and painless

[@WallyStreetify]

Frank Zappa said that Adrian Belew reinvented the guitar

[@alanlantz8663]

That was tough

[@davidbaker6912]

Watched in San Bernadino 115 degrees 1982 I think, produced by the Apple 🍎guy, US Federal, again I think, dead head too explains the think part, peace...

[@mmccormick1065]

Tom Tom club were formed by Bass player & drummer who are married

[@bobbyb2725]

Check out selector

[@jameshannagan4256]

Talking Heads and Radiohead are two of my favorite live bands try any of Radioheads basement sessions.

[@robinsonfriday]

Nobody mentions that there is 2 bass players.

[@thetextpistols7354]

Poor Jeff. No way in Hell I’d follow that shit. You just ain’t gone win

[@jamesoconnor9027]

I thought these guys were genious too. I would like to see you review the whole Stop Making Sense film.

[@stoneybrotherbass]

What the hell he doing- Controlled Feedback; the pick ups on the guitar, pick up there own signal, the Distance from the amp and angle of the guitar change the tone of the feedback.

[@jamesoconnor9027]

I'm watching this film and getting real aggrivated that the film crew would rather focus on peoples faces when they are jammin their asses off on the instraments.
