    Adrian Belew's abstract guitar playing was the perfect compliment to David Byrne's vocal style. This was Talking Heads at the height of their power.

    Right at 19:50 during "Once In A Lifetime" the camera pulls back and you see Bernie Worrel's right hand in the foreground.
    And then you realize that his right hand has been doing that little four note run for the entire duration of the song. No sampling, no digital assistance. Just a musician playing music like a fuckin' boss. Along with everyone else on the stage.
    I saw this performed live at the Wolman Skating Rink in Central Park back in 1980. I was 20 years old and my understanding of music changed from that day forward.

Sure Jones might've been technically better, but Tina's melodic Motown-influenced bass lines were so great for the band and helped make the music so distinctive. Many, many bass players admire and respect Tina's cool bass riffs and technique. The Heads didn't need anybody else.

    Frank Zappa corrected an interviewer who assumed the 60s were the most innovative for rock music but it was the 70s. Riding in on Jimi Hendrix live on Maui with the iconic Rainbow Bridge concert and seeing bands like the Sex Pistols and Talking Heads emerge.

      I agree! If I had been about 10 years older, I would have seen them at CBGB in New York. That must have been something !
      I remember watching them perform on NBC's Saturday Night Live around 1979 or 1980 when I was 14 or 15 and thinking they sucked. But what did I know at that age ?

    What I realize watching this just after Stop Making Sense is that David is doing all the rhythm parts while Adrian does the lead here, but for Stop Making Sense, David does the lead while Alex does the rhythm. Songs like Cities, Crosseyed and Painless, Making Flippy Floppy prove this. All this to say, wow David Bryne is such a slept on guitarist
