You are absolutely correct! Saw him last summer at The Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio while he was on his American Utopia tour and it was a spectacular show. I hope to get the chance to see him live again. The best part was when he basically stopped the show a few songs in and demanded--in his comically awkward David Byrne style--that they shut down the 2 huge LED screens that are on either side of the stage because they were extremely bright and distracting, they were also greatly taking away from the lighting effects that are incorporated into the show. It took them a few minutes to figure out how to completely shut them down, but he waited, and reminded us that the show is in front of us, NOT on those big screens. It was great, and he was right too. The Rose is not a huge venue and it really does not need those giant screens. The point of LIVE music is to watch the person/people performing on the stage in front of you.
I think it comes from the bad Western habit of considering only young products as only valid, whereas in most other cultures, masters are done with the benefit of time
ok, I was a bit of an impatient cunt. I've just watched it through and I know what you mean - it's pretty awesome I I do like that mental dancing from the 80's though
Kinda true. But also, I went back to watch some clips from Stop Making Sense in his younger days-- and I have to admit. I had forgotten how breathtaking those performances were. I literally had tears in my eyes.
There is such an unique element of David Byrne's voice that knocks me out. A mixture of trembly vulnerability together with a reassuring strength...how he do that? LOVE
I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. I'm forever grateful that in all of the history of the human being I was born and living concurrently with people like David Byrne.
I usually don't listen to a song twice in a row cause I'm afraid I'll get tired of it. But everytime I listen to one version of Once In a Lifetime, I just have to listen to other live performances, the instrumental, etc. I don't know what's the magic in this song that always makes me want more
A tune that speaks the Old truth of life....?.never gets old. The first time I ever seen them on TV years ago was a revelation . No genre just good stuff.
Every live version of this song that I've watched is always so entertaining, energetic, and uplifting! I've been watching David Byrne for over 40 years and the man has not lost a step! He's one of the best musicians and performance artists that I've had the privilege and pleasure of watching!
He is an amazing voice of our generation. I've been stuck on his songs for years. And hope the rest of my life! Another example of musical genius right in front of us
You'll be hard pressed to see four guys, especially the drummer and percussionist, having so much fun performing. Plus those shirts give "garage band" a whole new meaning!
I'm South African and remember discovering this a while back when the old music channel used to play, it was a trippy music video but i was inlove with it.
Whoulda' thunk, David Bryrne is reminding me of Lyle Lovett. What fun. And I would like to add that it remains over the years, this Austin City Limits program has consistently brought out the best of so many artists.
It was weird how they just went away. Naked was good to my ears, but someone somewhere thought they were played out. I thought they still had room for more.
I've been a fan of Talking Heads since I saw "Stop Making Sense" in a little arts theater in Philly back when it was released. And while I will always love Jonathan Demme's version of David Byrne's vision for the film, this is one amazing performance. David really channels Adrian Belew, who obviously had a big influence during his short time with the band.
I remember first hearing this song in a Hollywood movie staring Richard Dreyfuss, Nick Nolte and Bette Midler (not forgetting the stunning Elizabeth Peña who sadly passed away in 2014) called Down and Out in Beverly Hills released in 1986, which was one of my favourite american style 80's films. *_Paul, (Liverpool , UK)_*
Uh no dumbass, first of all, Byrne was born in 1952. And second of all, adrenochrome isn’t the wonder drug you conspiracy theorists make it out to be. All it does is slow bleeding a bit
A wonderful performance by David Byrne & his band here. I also compare him to Van Morrison in this respect - as both give us all majestic & outstanding 'muse'. They do always bring out the best in their support artists, and with any instruments & vocals, when joining the leader in song. Everyone is always smiling and energetic. Yes, I find that's not always the case. And to borrow from Van here, I do only mean that to be a 'wonderful remark' by me.
@@deaterk I think they meant like most singers when they age their voice sounds more fragile and shakey. So they were surprised when his voice wasn't as bad as they thought. Idk just a guess.

David Byrne is like fine wine, he gets better with age...

Interesting...I find it's been watered down.

He's still got the passion! I'm actually quite amazed. Sounds like he did in 83...wow.
Same as he ever was!
Yes
For a second I thought you said he was 83 years old. I was about to say holy shit he looks and sounds great. Lol
There is such an unique element of David Byrne's voice that knocks me out. A mixture of trembly vulnerability together with a reassuring strength...how he do that? LOVE
He has a mild form of Asperger's
Julie, that is a PERFECT description of what I hear in his voice too.
I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. I'm forever grateful that in all of the history of the human being I was born and living concurrently with people like David Byrne.
That’s exactly how I feel about my generation. Sorry for the rest.
Same as it ever was
There is no old David Byrne. Just different levels of greyness in his hair.
who cares
Wtf when did I post this
yes
@@Aluminum.K rudee
@@Aluminum.K a
He always looks so happy when he does the old Talking Heads songs, lets just cross our fingers and hope for a reunion
Tina Weymouth says that he does not return the friendship of the rest of the bandmates so I doubt it
Tina Weymouth keeps slagging him off publicly.
Bands often disband once they get everything they need. Same as it ever was.
He's The HOLDOUT WHY T.H. never got back TOGETHER.
I hope not. they speak shit of David whenever they have the opportunity, to a person with Aspergers it seems like a terrible relationship to have
Holy hell the percussion in this performance is insane.
The peppiest existential crisis song. 😄😅🤔 I love this man and the energy of everyone in this performance! Wtf?!? Amazing. ❤
This quote is A STROKE OF GENIUS!!!! " EXISTENTIAL ".
yea 2022 to me this came out last week cant stop playin it
Sorry. No comparison to the original. The original band and the brilliant girl dancers and vocalists.
I usually don't listen to a song twice in a row cause I'm afraid I'll get tired of it. But everytime I listen to one version of Once In a Lifetime, I just have to listen to other live performances, the instrumental, etc. I don't know what's the magic in this song that always makes me want more
This might be the best performance I've ever seen. You can feel the energy.
Right?! Well said...
Right?!
I listen to this every time I have reason to say “my god, what have I done.”
Which is a bit too often recently
A tune that speaks the Old truth of life....?.never gets old.
The first time I ever seen them on TV years ago was a revelation .
No genre just good stuff.
David Byrne still has it. Want a great concert movie? Stop Making Sense ( 1984) one of the best if not the best concert movie ever
That dreary little island at the ass end of Europe really has produced quite a few musical geniuses
One of the most significant, truthful pieces of modern pop music released to the public....
Every live version of this song that I've watched is always so entertaining, energetic, and uplifting! I've been watching David Byrne for over 40 years and the man has not lost a step! He's one of the best musicians and performance artists that I've had the privilege and pleasure of watching!
I just wish he would play with the original band, but I guess he told them he didn't want to play with them anymore :/
there’s no feeling to describe watching david byrne preform... even if it’s through a phone screen : )
He looks good for his age, REALLY GOOD and sounds amazing.
His voice sounds good!!
WHOA that was Killa..!
Great back up band
He looks awesome
He sounds GREAT..same as he always waz
He is an amazing voice of our generation. I've been stuck on his songs for years. And hope the rest of my life! Another example of musical genius right in front of us
David Byrne…you make my tinnitus worth all the times I listened to your music at 90 decibels. ❤❤❤
O love songs of Mr. David Byrne from Scotland around the World !
One of the greatest songs of all time, David Byrne is truly a genius and a legend, Thank You My Byrne for this masterpiece of a song
This band are composed of super talented musicians, as well as incredible athletics.
You'll be hard pressed to see four guys, especially the drummer and percussionist, having so much fun performing. Plus those shirts give "garage band" a whole new meaning!
I love the "country preacher" tone of this.
it was the style he was going for actually
@@vendora1 I always figured he was inspired by the goofy 2AM televangelists of the 80s. It's so perfect.
David Byrne is like fine wine, he gets better with age...
Love this man : his art, his music , his style ❤️ and David’s quirky dance moves 💃
Wow he can still rip this song - fantastic!
David Byrne is brilliant THANK YOU David for all the great musicTHANK YOU!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The man is other worldly!!!!
Every time I hear this song it makes me reflect on my life. Every time I reflect on my life this song plays in my head.
Love this man : his art, his music , his style ❤️ and David’s quirky dance moves 💃
Amazing performance!!
Wow, everyone was having fun!
Time isn't holding us! Pay attention. Don't let the days go by. Time isn't after us.
Loved this song forever 💕thank you Mr Byrne
Music will never be the same, such an awesome song!!!
Once in A Lifetime David Byrne lives through his music forever.
saw him on Saturday night live two weeks ago Had never heard of him but now obsessed .He is a consummate artist two art schools studied opera
Born in Scotland......so cool this dude.
this song has so much energy.
I'm South African and remember discovering this a while back when the old music channel used to play, it was a trippy music video but i was inlove with it.
what a fascinating life he must live
His voice sounds good!!
Wow that is great with three sets of drums.
that's a true timeless song, never gets old...
David out of this world
One of the best Live Performance i ever hear and see, thank you @all Musican with greetings from Germany
one word ...CLASS!
Whoulda' thunk, David Bryrne is reminding me of Lyle Lovett. What fun. And I would like to add that it remains over the years, this Austin City Limits program has consistently brought out the best of so many artists.
Lyle Lovett ???? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT ONE FRO.M???
hes so happy in this performance :D i love it
Those old days of Talking Heads live with a full band lots of guitars keys background vocals etc were incredible
Needs more arm chopping
Man, I really miss Talking Heads (I like this performance though)
TokyoBlue i dont know? Talking Heads and then Talking Heads 2.0...Talking Heads 2.0 for me
It was weird how they just went away. Naked was good to my ears, but someone somewhere thought they were played out. I thought they still had room for more.
Just like Paul McArthney ... LOL !!!
A well crafted and produced song

wasn't Elizabeth Pena in Jacob's Ladder? so sad. i @ ---- V ------ @
He just looks like young David Byrne with grey hair but like his actual face doesn't age
Never was a cocaine drinking junk food freak like Chris
Same as it ever was ❤️
It's called moisturizer.
Uh no dumbass, first of all, Byrne was born in 1952. And second of all, adrenochrome isn’t the wonder drug you conspiracy theorists make it out to be. All it does is slow bleeding a bit
Wow...Good one. I shoulda thought of...:)@@RachelPieruccini
Let’s here it for his band too, great accompaniment !!
The meaning of life right there

awesome artist! I get down on my knees
Love this!
Same As It Ever Was ...... the best singer in the world
David Byrne for president 2020
Forever brilliant!
Love those drummers!!!!
A time when music was real.
Wow that is great with three sets of drums.
My favourite song of all time 🇬🇧
Sad that he can't reconcile with the band. Think how special and how much love it would bring to the legions of fans.
He put more soul into it ,yeah!
A time when music was real.
2:56 ... that moment.
His voice sounds good!!
Man, I really miss Talking Heads (I like this performance though)
Same as it ever was - but missing the arm chop :-)))
and the keyboardist
Yesss! I'm the only one I've ever known to comment on the arm chop. I always found it so weird and I loved it!
Monica Stewart bon b. N
Thank Heaven for Scottish people 🫡🏴
This is fricken awesome
Watching, listening and enjoying this in 2021 :)
Ok...so I never thought I would see David Byrne of the Talking heads performing on Austin City Limits. Wow
Music is amazing...very talented 🥁🥁🥁
I love Talking Heads. This might be their best song. You can decipher every nuance of every syllable in every word! What the heck is it about?
traps of Conformity...? precious Time slipping away..?
..Illusions of Security...Regrets
He was watching preachers on tv when he wrote the song. its just a mash up of phrases that they use. genius
There is water...at the bottom of the ocean.
How did I get here?!
I listen to a lot of music. And this is the best song in the collection
I didn't expect him to be that loud
I didn't expect him to be that good. Sounds exactly as he did 35 years ago.
@@callmemastermaster9875 I saw him November last year. I was amazed with how good his voice was.
Sam Carroll - Why is that?
@@deaterk I think they meant like most singers when they age their voice sounds more fragile and shakey. So they were surprised when his voice wasn't as bad as they thought. Idk just a guess.
MyNose IsClogged - fair enough! 😊👍
Excellent !!!
Shortly after 9/11 this happened. Amazing
We're all enjoying it.. hugh jackman in the cymbals.. forest whittaker on the bass, or drums.. and thats a proper song!
