- Talking Heads performing I Zimbra live on Late Night in 1983. Better quality than any current clip of this performance on TH-cam.
Source: Great quality SP speed normal VHS videotape in mono (master) from over air TV broadcast. Note: Pre-1986 ,very few people had consumer VCRs with ability to record MTS/HiFi stereo and only one station (WNBC4-NY) was broadcasting in stereo in 1984-1985.
Black and white on colored background video effect was added as a desired effect when broadcast (wish they did not do it!). Intro and exit is normal as you can see.

I worked on the show. This was one of my TV career highlights. I was the ONLY person in the audience during rehearsal, which was so much BETTER than this performance, for which I was off-stage...
What was david like.. Do you remember anything? 😊
Are you saying it gets better than this? :)
The thing that always amazes me is how Jerry Harrison flies under the radar. To begin with, he was the guy that gave the band serious street cred coming from Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. On this song, he's playing that opening riff which Robert Fripp came up with, and it is by no means an easy part to play well, yet he totally nails it. He deserves much more credit than he receives, IMHO>
Yes!!!!
you just gave it to him, the credit he deserves
more than all that - which I totally agree with - he can also play the part that Alex Weir is playing here, I've seen him play it in other live stuff ..
Byrne is/was a great rhythm guitarist, but Harrison is a real architect.
they don't need street cred, that's just another term for insecurity (that restricts art & creativity) so i fundamentally disagree with you on that. but the rest of what you say is fine. btw jonathan richman wouldn't hold a candle to TH, so he upgraded.
And my opinion as well. I always recognized his significant contributions to the TH. Also my opinion that his ‘The Red and the Black’ album brought it to fore. Dude was not just a backing musician to Bryne’s ‘genius’. Nor were Weymouth and Franz. For me they were something of a super group minus the legacy cache of that term.
Edit: And just browse the roster on that album. Some serious heavy hitters.
It’s so interesting to see Lynn Mabry’s transition from backing up Sly Stone, to P-Funk, to being one of the original Brides of Funkenstein, to Talking Heads. I hope she one day writes a book or something. She’s simply amazing! ♥️
Nice call. I knew I had seen her before. My very first 45rpm was Everyday People. I am a sucker for 70's funk. Then Ohio Players and Parliament/Funkadelic? I have been to a couple P-Funk show over the years and it stays with me. I've even seen the Mothership in the Black History museum in DC. I have a wonderful photo, but don't know how to post it here.
At their absolute peak. Too good.
When a group of geniuses decide to form a band...
Tina Weymouth is such an underrated bassist imo... every performance I've watched of theirs she is just so nestled in the groove of the song and her tone is always immaculate. This whole band is amazing 💕
This is what I love about YT, finding these gems,
"If you dance, you might understand the words better."
One of the greatest moment in the history of American television
2:51 That ending, haha! With Letterman shaking hands with a few at first, then Lynn not wanting to miss out, so Dave says "No, I'm not done" and they have a fun hug, cracking up the whole band. Lynn Mabry with the fun hug and Dolette McDonald smiling and laughing out loud... so fun.
Lynn is lovely!
It never ceases to amaze me as to how many different moves David Byrne came / comes up with. Love the bit in Stop Making Sense where David points the mic at the camera man and smirks, pure ad lib moment as if to say here, you have a go. He's a bit of a nutter but it works, you have to be different if you want to be noticed. Anyone that has dared to be different is usually successful.
I cannot believe this happened. And that I’m just now seeing it.
An absolute "pipe dream" of mine to see live. Couldn't imagine it happened. A genius track.
I fucking love David Byrne! He's so talented and eccentric!
Same as he ever was, same as he ever was...
one of the best!
My wife and I stumbled into a little English Pub on Hollywood Blvd on our way to another show one Tuesday night and David Byrne was at the piano playing to about 35ppl. I couldn't get my jaw off the floor. We had a Pim's cup and went to our show when he took a break. Brillient!
Great performance. The band brought their A game that night. Thankfully, the control room woke up and did a much better job recording this last song.
THE DREAM CAME TRUE = Talking heads creation: When you watch the video all you can see is Talent, Talent, Talent, Talent, ...Fave song
our sir showed this as part of learning dadaism and while watching the video half the class was laughing and i was there sitting on bench eyebrow furrowed thinking what the actual f is happening here🤷♀
it's quite funny to me now that im watching it another time 😂
based david bryne moves in this
I love how this white dude embraces soul, and look how amazing he turned out.
With Bernie Worrell and Lynn Mabry from Parliament-Funkadelic in the line up.
Nice rarity, tight as hell. There should be more like this today.
So weird seeing the SMS extended band performing in such a small-seeming space.
Yeah it feels like they’re suffocated in an abstract way, lol.
1983 was a groovy year, man.
Except its a 1979 album.
God Genius Song... Steven Scales just epic.
I prefer the original arrangement of this song on the "Fear of Music" album. By the way. the lyricac are based on a 1916 sound poem called "Gadji Beri Bimba" by the German poet Hugo Ball, who was a big name in the Dada art movement.
The black and white aesthetic was great.
Black/White, Male/Female, an updated Sly and the Family Stone.
The dancing kills me
Fela Kuti -> Brian Eno -> David Byrne -> I Zimbra
those were some good days
Yes, they were
This is brilliant...
Almost the same group as in Stop Making Sense.
What a treat. But wow the sound man really scuffed up the mix here. Can't hear Tina at all, synth dominated everything!
Probably the home
Video recording.
Estou aqui depois que assisti o episódio ''criatividade'' do Explicando a mente da Netflix , e ele fala como surgiu a ideia de fazer o álbum de 1979 , amei...me inspirou muito. Ouvi essa musica hoje dezenas de vezes .
Mee too 💛
Eu também.
Spider-Man No Way Home.
Same
already rehearsing The Big Suit moves. :)
Closed my eyes and thought I was listening to 80s King Crimson. Very good! Very good.
What is there to say? They said it!
Excellent
Favorite TH song ever.
Me too!!! Unadulterated genius!
Turn up the bass.
why make a video?
why tour?
why the big suit?
where does the strange David Letterman come from?
I love this song since decades.
One question to the experts here: Who is the female singer on the left side? On the right is Dolette McDonald but the other singer? Nona Hendrix?
I an not an expert, but man... spent way too much time scouring photos.... fairly certain it's Lynn Mabry next to Dolette McDonald. Lynn was teamed up with Edna Holt for the "Stop Making Sense" film. Maybe the personnel changed during the 1983 and/or tour. Dolette was going from one top act to another back in the day. Just stellar. [Nona Hendryx did sing backup with Talking Heads at times, but I think that was around 1980 vs 1983. I could be very wrong, though.]
@@EdwoodCA Thanks, I guess you're right. I knew Lynn Mary (and Edna Holt too) just from Stop Making Sense.
For me Dolette Mcdonald and Janice Pendarvis have been the best Backing Vocals duo. Wonderful voices with an enormous recognition value.
This song is now our friendly neighborhood 👍🏼
ugh this doesn't have the sliding bass that's on the record
Letterman brilliant as always at the end. Talking Heads full extended band on Letterman, doesn't get any better.
DUDE
Wish the bass was higher in the mix, you can barely hear it.
Ésto es tan bueno...
After watching netflix i'm find this music
Hey baby they’re playing our song. When black and white folks used to get along. The Summer of 1983: Good Times. #KingsLeadHat
This guy thinks black and white folks got along better in 1983. How adorable.
Finally found the original 😂
Bernie.
Netflix? Creativity episode
DUUUUUDE
Duuuuuude
@@alexho5769 is this from spiderman?
Yes dude
I like the first song better I had to search for this one if I put on a suit and slick my hair back David might think he's looking into a mirror except my nose is a little bigger
Maybe not everything about me is smaller even though I'm 6ft tall I have them small bone just like him I'm athletic if I put a suit on I would move like that he was what 28 I'm 44 I could copy it does any band want me
I would love to be in a band or I could sing like him I can't do it by myself my whole life I wanted a band to back me I'm very shy but I also know what I want if I had friends that back to me and encouraged me we can make tons of money
It's not just the nose that's bigger - and how athletic are you with that big bulky belly of yours. Lose 50 lbs and we'll talk.
"Spider-Man Name, Is Peter Parker!"
(SHOWS PHOTO OF PETER PARKER)
-"What The F-
Spiderman no way home was pretty good ngl

Fun fact about the lyrics; It was made by Hugo Ball's poem "Gadji Beri Bimba", a gibberish poem, which is a Dadaism movement type of art, also known as anti-art that existed around WW1
