@@L33Reacts If you ever get the chance to watch Zappa's The ROXY Movie, check that out too. The famous concerts at Hollywood's ROXY theater from Dec. 1973. It took until 2015 to release it because the audio didn't sync up with the video. It took 40 years for technology to come along that allowed those who produced it to get it to finally work. You've listened to enough Frank to know that the band with Ruth Underwood on percussion was a great lineup. That's what's in store for you if you ever get the opportunity.
Leave it to art students. All four "heads" were former art students. John Lennon was also a former art student. And McCartney studied art. And the three Germans who were with the Beatles in Hamburg were Avant guard art students (existentialists)
And Pete Townshend was also an "Art Student". In the very early 1960s, art offered a less defined area then most other subjects, more room for creative possibility.
They were students at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design). David Byrne and Chris Frantz, who was dating Tina at the time, had a band in college called the Artistics. After school they moved to NYC to form a new band, but they needed a bassist. Chris suggested Tina, but David, who wrote all the songs, was very sceptical, and made her audition several times. Chris and Tina eventually married. When David Byrne disbanded the band, the others carried on as the Shrunken Heads, and even released an album called No Talking, Just Head as the Heads. But Byrne filed suit against them to prevent them from using the name. So, while they had a little success as the TomTom Club (who play a couple of songs during the movie), they basically stopped playing altogether. David says he now regrets his choices, but I'm pretty sure Tina still holds a grudge.
Pure energy, maybe chemically enhanced, maybe not. Regardless people cared more, it seems. Hopefully young people will bring it back. My generation, baby boomers need to remember kindness and ❤️
Oh man now you are cooking. This is an excerpt from possibly the greatest concert film of all time and arguably the best track at the peak of the performance. If you don’t know Talking heads then you may want to listen to a few more tracks on the channel first but at some point as a music lover you have to watch the whole concert film ‘Stop Making Sense’ end to end. This was a band where at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s there was no point having seats in the concert venue because absolutely no one would sit in them. People were all dancing themselves into a puddle of sweat.
"Stop Making Sense" isn't a video, it's one helluva concert movie. That energy level is sustained all the way through, although it ebbs and flows. You should absolutely take it in, it's well worth your time. David Byrne is on the spectrum, and it shows. Fabulous band.
This show starts with just David B playing an acoustic, they add band members in pieces from there... If you're gonna do all of it, probably best done in order.
These guys are one of the rare bands where you're just as well off, if not better off, watching live performances or even official videos. The visuals are part of the package...a big part.
"The energy". Theyre just getting warmed up. Best concert I've ever attended. Phenomenal. "Crosseyed and Painless" is a song I'd have to seriously consider a one song deserted island deal. The version from this album. Its a romp. This movie is a must see for L33. The concert set me on a new path in '83. I went to see them only knowing this single, and left the show knowing i was several albums late to a great party.
This whole concert movie is just incredible, and it's really worth going through them in order. But I would also say, they've got incredible studio cuts from their several albums. They started putting out albums in 1976. Incredibly artistic and cutting edge, and influenced so much other music. The same could be said for their music videos. Life During Wartime came from their iconic 1978 album, Fear of Music, produced by Brian Eno. The lyrics are grim, but have that hallmark David Byrne sense of humor incorporated into them. Check out "Cities" from that same album, it's a fan favorite and the lyrics are just so funny but we can all relate to them. And please do yourself a favor and check out the studio track to Life During Wartime, because it will let you focus on the groove and the lyrics more.
Eno was everywhere! What a dude. I'll definitely check out the OG version it sounds completely different probably lol I guess I'll have to go track by track with this one.
One of the best live performances I have ever seen. The energy that pours off the musicians is infectious. From the opening track "Psycho killer" with David Byrne alone on stage with ghetto blaster, through the setting up of platforms for drummer & the rest of the band, to it's awesome conclusion make "Stop Making Sense" a Must to see.
Yeah, as mentioned repeatedly here, you have to see them in order, the songs form this concert, no piecemeal. Also, shoutout to Tina Weymouth, such a great bassist! She had a side project with her husband called Tom Tom Club. They had a new wave hit called Genius of Love. The bass was great, needless to say lol! If you're going by SB to predict 30k in 3 months, their prediction changes with your trajectory (in case you don't know that). :)
Had the distinct pleasure of seeing Talking Heads about one month before they recorded this concert film, so basically the same show. It turned me into a permafan of Bassist Tina Weymouth, she is the wife of Drummer Chris Franz, and with David Byrne and Jerry Hairston were the original members of Heads. "Stop Making Sense" is a GREAT concert film, and deserves all the accolades it gets. Bernie Worrel, upper left of the stage, has been with many, many bands through the years, including P-Funk and James Brown. Awesome show.
You’re right about the diversity. When I arrived to see this live, I was surprised to see so many black people there to see my nerdy white band. It was great. I didn’t realize how broad their appeal was. I had a great time. I’m glad it was captured on film so everyone can enjoy it still. Definitely one of the best bands I’ve seen live.
True, natural diversity and cultures coming together is beautiful. Now everyone is either THIS or THAT. No nuance at all. We've lost critical thinking skills and a sense of community amongst everyone. But it's all artificial lies meant to divide and conquer. We're all the same. We're stronger together. "THEY" know that. That's what scares them the most. People actually coming together and fighting back against this artifical, forced bullshit. I've seen some CRAZY shit said in my life but the past couple years have absolutely shattered any hope I have for saving society. The absolute disregard for some people is crazy to me. And it's all out in the open now. Sorry for the novel you just inspired me lol
Without question, this was the most fun concert I ever went to! It was a big TH fan from their beginning and this was the culmination. Then, a year later came the word that Jonathan Demme had made a film from the tour and if get to experience it again and forever (now it's 40 years later!) You should watch the whole film some time. It's just so creative and different how they combined music with visual elements and stage transitions.
Oh man love what you're saying... 63yr old Aussie woman here, born & grew up in Sydney NSW - teenager in 70's - Independent single adult in 80's. So many times when I listen to what younger Gens are on about, what pisses them off & how angry & closed their viewpoints are... I'm aghast at how self centred they are, how wound up they get over what "Other" people do/think/ believe 😱 We just weren't like that in the 70's & 80's (in particular) we enjoyed people, music in particular for what it was & embraced whatever was good wherever & whoever it came from 🌏😁✌🏼
adrian belew played with talking heads after his frank days. i told you earlier how i recently went to that talking heads cover band and they played "city of tiny lights" (a frank song featuring adrian). all the tendrils...
IMO, Tina is one of the greatest bass players ever. She's in my top 10 of bass players. The Stop Making Sense concert movie is fantastic, and each video from the concert is so much fun to watch. Every Talking Heads fan, who watches your channel, will love and watch any reaction you make to a song (video) from the Stop Making Sense movie. Talking Heads are one of the greatest bands ever, IMO, and I can listen to their music any time of day or night, just like with Yes, Rush and Radiohead, three of my favorites. ❤✌
You need to watch the whole concert movie, it starts out with him on stage with a radio, the crew added all that equipment as he sings abd the band is added ...great concert video!! CBGB!! Burning down the house is their biggest hit!
I saw them in October 83 I think. Tina the bass player was 9 months pregnant, whenever that was. They were so good live. Jason and the Nashville Scorchers opened for them, Jason wearing a red Devil costume and a cowboy hat and a cape. Once of the best shows I ever saw. The Talking Heads are one of the Great Bands, if you ask me.
"stop making sense", from "psycho killer" through to "take me to the river", it's a great concert film ...the original album this track was on is called "remain in light", and it's a quiet gem with several hundred (but not quite a thousand) laps of ride-along in my silly lifetime clicker. ... "the great curve" is a track I'd shared with a friend just last week: "the world moves on a woman's hips" and "a world of light, she's gonna open our eyes up" Thank you for working with this track and sharing it with us. It's so close an old friend it's likely a cousin by now. Be well, smilin', and shiny.
Best Concert film ever ..... They keep the energy up for and hour and a half. Some of my favorat music. It is about life after the start of a new civil war in America. This was the touring band with added members for the core 4. I saw them very early on at the Mudd Club (Mentioned in the song) in a room with around 100 people.
Great concert movie. Definitely worth watching. The energy is extremely high throughout. Strange thing is that even though this tour was so damn good, the band never toured again, even though they went on to much greater chart success later in the 80s with hits like "Road To Nowhere" and "And She Was". I don't think they liked each other much offstage.....
I wasn’t at this specific show, I did see them on this tour in Pittsburgh, PA. A dear friend of mine was celebrating her birthday and a mutual friend, whose mother worked for the venue, arranged for us to be seated in the orchestra pit!! What A Night!!!
I so clearly remember when this concert film came out. I was in college and went to see it with some friends. The theater was packed with mostly students and everyone absolutely loved it. It was like you were there at the actual concert. Talking Heads were the quintessential college art rock band, along with REM. There were lots of other things going on back then, musically, New Wave, post-punk, synth rock and pop, Brit pop, early hip hop, R&B, heavy metal, hair bands, a bit of a folk revival, a ska revival, industrial rock, rock-classical fusion, jazz rock, Euro pop, Caribbean, world music, the works. If there wasn't something for you then there was something wrong with you. But Talking Heads, along with a few other bands, basically dominated the decade.
What a freaking amazing band. That was one of the best concert films ever with an appropriately great soundtrack. My wife and I were in college then and played Talking Heads in the car religiously, along with what came to be known as classic rock. We still do.
Yea we had the good music and the good drugs ! LOL So glad you watch and get our music. So glad you stated you thoughts on everyone getting along "my state of mind as well" and music is a barrier breaker and the language of all. . . As the Great John Lennon Im my opinion wrote Imagine the best sing ever written. I still imagine and im not the only one, so glad to know youre on that page my young friend ! Ty for the review and enjoy more music. . .
As others will point out, the whole concert is great. Actually I think it was three nights, and they picked the best performances of each song from those nights. What you don't see here is that they build it up slowly, first with just David, then him and Tina, and then adding one or two more musicians on each subsequent song until they are up to full complement. They were part of the whole CBGB club scene from which punk (and at least substantially new wave) emerged (the Ramones, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Blondie, etc...) On the 'need to suffer' front, that has a lot to do with the music of the 60s, and 70s, and which ultimately fueled the music of the 80s and 90s. Korea, Vietnam, draft registration at 18 and lots of people dying overseas, a lot of the world being run by emotionally damaged WWII survivors, the massive hypocrisy of western culture at the time wrt race and sexuality and family life, fairly rampant nihilism and fear due to the threat of nuclear weapons. Throw in a lot of drugs, and there you have it.
My favorite Talking Heads fact is the week in 1977 when they signed their recording contract, the drummer Chris Franz, and the bass player, Tina Weymouth got married to each other. 47 years later, they still are.
I’ve had a few people ask me recently what’s my favorite Talking Heads song and I always say life during wartime. And they’re like, oh do I know that one? Lol. But now in retrospect, I should’ve said, And She Was.
I'd say watch them do Burning Down The House from this same concert, but I'd also recommend frontman David Byrne's live performance of the track with St Vincent and an eight-piece brass ensemble from their Love This Giant tour.
Freaking awesome pic I love to see different genres like this and Talking Heads are amazing they have quite a catalog of several hits I would suggest Burning Down The House take me to the river Etc... ❤❤
Music (Jazz, Rock, Blues) has been breaking down color barriers for over 100 years, yet sick minded people keep trying to put those barriers back up. Music is an international language. Check out what Paul Simon did in South Africa with local musicians too numerous to name here, on an album called “Graceland” -1986 songs; Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes and You Can Call Me Al. The album created (not without controversy) was a tremendous success by all accounts.
B 52's, another quirky 80's band. Check out "Roam." Visually unique, ha! I guess that could be a description. For the first time, there were videos, there was MTV. Music needed to be visual, attract a different sort of audience.
They filmed I think three nights, and moved the cameras each time. So we hear the best performance of each song but sometimes you’re seeing the action from a different night. If you watch the whole thing at times you’ll see Chris Frantz holding a small box by his ear to make sure the tempos remained steady so they could do that sort of visual composite. He probably just wanted to be sure as the man’s beat is steady.
Dude I actually saw them during this tour at Irvine Meadows Jonathan Demme filmed the whole concert for the movie Stop Making sense which was filmed at the Pantages theatre we saw the show a few days after the filmingvit was just as awesome as the movie performance
People need to make mistakes and suffer the consequences. It's the only real way to learn. But they also need constant love, understanding, and a feeling of security to hopefully prevent them from "falling off the rails" and not getting back up. Life can be very hard sometimes....so I'm trying to be happy as much as I can. I fail often, as many people do....

It's just the concert, beautifully filmed and no backstage nonsense.

Tina Weymouth is a top tier bassist. She knows how to lay down the groove. You just need to watch this entire immaculate concert.
Tina is such a badass
Stop Making Sense is, together with The Band's The Last Waltz, in a complete league of their own when it comes to concert movies!
Agreed!!!
I am not a huge Talking Heads fan but this concert film is Amazing
I really wish I had seen them live back in the day .
It’s an overused phrase on reaction videos but: Tina Weymouth is seriously one of the *most underrated* musicians ever.
One of the best concert films ever. Make a bowl of popcorn and watch the whole thing.
It's awesome and I know many who weren't even TH fans who loved it.
The whole "Stop Making Sense" concert on video is so unusual yet so cool. Worth a viewing by far. David Byrne is definite a unique talent.
Yes, their cardio must have been through the roof, lol
I can't imagine how many calories they were burning lol kinda crazy 😜
David Byrne, fun, running around in his bare feet! 🙂

Guess you know this, but apart from maybe "studying" art on his free time, McCartney never studied art at any school👍

"The energy" was provided by copious amounts of cocaine. If you've ever experienced it, this concert has many tell-tale signs.
Each Talking Heads album is unique in its style and sound, but this film really should be watched in order. You'll understand why when you watch it.

That entire Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" concert film is exceptional. Directed by the great filmmaker Jonathan Demme.

David Byrne a performing artist. It’s not just music, but he plans out the visuals and everything. It’s high art. And great music.
Slot of members in Talking Heads were ARTS STUDENTS!!!😎😎😎😎😎
Another Eno production. Brian Eno produced the studio version. I don't think he came out and jogged around with the band, but maybe
IMO, Tina is one of the greatest bass players ever. She's in my top 10 of bass players.
The Stop Making Sense concert movie is fantastic, and each video from the concert is so much fun to watch. Every Talking Heads fan, who watches your channel, will love and watch any reaction you make to a song (video) from the Stop Making Sense movie.

I wasn’t at this specific show, I did see them on this tour in Pittsburgh, PA. A dear friend of mine was celebrating her birthday and a mutual friend, whose mother worked for the venue, arranged for us to be seated in the orchestra pit!! What A Night!!!
I never tire watching and listening to this video/song.
The band that killed disco while still keeping the beat so we still could keep dancing the '80's away.
Just one of the best things ever. The whole concert film. It's perfect.
Hands down best concert film ever and Tina has been one of the most underrated bassists ever
Best concert movie, ever!
I so clearly remember when this concert film came out. I was in college and went to see it with some friends. The theater was packed with mostly students and everyone absolutely loved it. It was like you were there at the actual concert. Talking Heads were the quintessential college art rock band, along with REM. There were lots of other things going on back then, musically, New Wave, post-punk, synth rock and pop, Brit pop, early hip hop, R&B, heavy metal, hair bands, a bit of a folk revival, a ska revival, industrial rock, rock-classical fusion, jazz rock, Euro pop, Caribbean, world music, the works. If there wasn't something for you then there was something wrong with you.
But Talking Heads, along with a few other bands, basically dominated the decade.
What a freaking amazing band. That was one of the best concert films ever with an appropriately great soundtrack. My wife and I were in college then and played Talking Heads in the car religiously, along with what came to be known as classic rock. We still do.
Yea we had the good music and the good drugs ! LOL So glad you watch and get our music.
So glad you stated you thoughts on everyone getting along "my state of mind as well" and music is a barrier breaker and the language of all. . . As the Great John Lennon Im my opinion wrote Imagine the best sing ever written. I still imagine and im not the only one, so glad to know youre on that page my young friend ! Ty for the review and enjoy more music. . .
As others will point out, the whole concert is great. Actually I think it was three nights, and they picked the best performances of each song from those nights. What you don't see here is that they build it up slowly, first with just David, then him and Tina, and then adding one or two more musicians on each subsequent song until they are up to full complement.
They were part of the whole CBGB club scene from which punk (and at least substantially new wave) emerged (the Ramones, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Blondie, etc...)
On the 'need to suffer' front, that has a lot to do with the music of the 60s, and 70s, and which ultimately fueled the music of the 80s and 90s. Korea, Vietnam, draft registration at 18 and lots of people dying overseas, a lot of the world being run by emotionally damaged WWII survivors, the massive hypocrisy of western culture at the time wrt race and sexuality and family life, fairly rampant nihilism and fear due to the threat of nuclear weapons. Throw in a lot of drugs, and there you have it.
My favorite Talking Heads fact is the week in 1977 when they signed their recording contract, the drummer Chris Franz, and the bass player, Tina Weymouth got married to each other. 47 years later, they still are.
Try Crosseyed and painless.
I’ve had a few people ask me recently what’s my favorite Talking Heads song and I always say life during wartime. And they’re like, oh do I know that one? Lol. But now in retrospect, I should’ve said, And She Was.
Jonathan Demme directed this film…he did an incredible job in his approach to filmmaking. The editing, the photography, all of it. Sublime.
David Byrne and the whole band are just so good and so bizarre. Great film is Stop Making Sense.
I'd say watch them do Burning Down The House from this same concert, but I'd also recommend frontman David Byrne's live performance of the track with St Vincent and an eight-piece brass ensemble from their Love This Giant tour.
Freaking awesome pic I love to see different genres like this and Talking Heads are amazing they have quite a catalog of several hits I would suggest Burning Down The House take me to the river Etc... ❤❤
This won't get blocked Lee; The Th members are all very smart. Do the whole concert.
Tina Weymouth also had a side project called the Tom Tom Club, which had a hit or two. Adrian Belew (of King Crimson) was a member for a time.
Music (Jazz, Rock, Blues) has been breaking down color barriers for over 100 years, yet sick minded people keep trying to put those barriers back up. Music is an international language. Check out what Paul Simon did in South Africa with local musicians too numerous to name here, on an album called “Graceland” -1986 songs; Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes and You Can Call Me Al. The album created (not without controversy) was a tremendous success by all accounts.
The original song was on their 1979 album 'Fear of music', this performance was in 1984.
B 52's, another quirky 80's band. Check out "Roam." Visually unique, ha! I guess that could be a description. For the first time, there were videos, there was MTV. Music needed to be visual, attract a different sort of audience.
They filmed I think three nights, and moved the cameras each time. So we hear the best performance of each song but sometimes you’re seeing the action from a different night.
If you watch the whole thing at times you’ll see Chris Frantz holding a small box by his ear to make sure the tempos remained steady so they could do that sort of visual composite. He probably just wanted to be sure as the man’s beat is steady.
"Stop making sense", simply the most fun concert you will ever see. Pick any song from this, it is a masterpiece!
I was in my 20's back in the 80's, and it was very fun decade.
Finally someone reacts to my favorite artists of All time!! Thank you so much!
Dude I actually saw them during this tour at Irvine Meadows Jonathan Demme filmed the whole concert for the movie Stop Making sense which was filmed at the Pantages theatre we saw the show a few days after the filmingvit was just as awesome as the movie performance
First saw the Talking Heads perform, 1978, on the UCLA Steps for a short lunchtime concert.
David Byrne is a genius. We need a reunion and a few more albums.
THE BEST- concert I ever attended. From the first downbeat until the last note, we (the entire crowd) were on our feet dancing in the aisles.
People need to make mistakes and suffer the consequences. It's the only real way to learn. But they also need constant love, understanding, and a feeling of security to hopefully prevent them from "falling off the rails" and not getting back up. Life can be very hard sometimes....so I'm trying to be happy as much as I can. I fail often, as many people do....
