He changed the way this song was played. If you listen to the Remain in Light original, then this version, then Stop Making Sense… Belew left his mark. (He was RAD, played with Bowie and Zappa)
One of my biggest regrets is not catching Talking Heads when Belew toured with them! The good news is that I got to see him with David Bowie, which was incredible...but, yes indeed, he really elevated "Crosseyed & Painless"!
@@Winterstick549Well it was her decision to write two bass parts on each of the Remain In Light songs. You should maybe wonder how Byrne felt about Adrian Belew being there, since he almost replaced him for good.
There’s an answer for this now. In Chris Frantz’s recent book, he says that Byrne hired a second bassist for the tour without consulting the rest of the band. This was when tensions between him and Tina were super high. The guy who was brought in was horrified when he realized what was going on, but Tina just worked out two bass parts per song with him instead of making an issue out of it and the tour proceeded. Byrne was always super weird about Tina from the start. Was honestly a jerk about it a lot.
Adrian Belew? now that you mentioned it, it is something he would be interested in doing, I know they knew each other but never realized that he was on this one.
She does have a great voice which you can hear on the Tom Tom Club’s records, but I’m pretty sure the voice you’re hearing that’s loud in the mix is Dolette McDonald
There are a few Talking Heads shows to consider. Central Park 1980 is a seminal piece of sound and fury from everyone. Stop Making Sense 1984 must have been a fever of a show. But to be a person who got to see them live at CBGB's or the Mudd Club, man...I might have to take that.
Do you know his history? Found by Zappa, tours. Seen by Bowie in Germany, goes and tours with him, seen by David Byrne, Joins talking heads, helps create Tom Tom Club. Outstanding resume!
One of the greatest funk workouts of ALL TIME. That moment when the glitched keyboard riff starts at 3:38... Is it even physically possible to not want to move every muscle in your body at that point?
Not only is Adrian Belew shreading here. He also appears to be playing the "Hendrix Guitar" which Hendrix burned at Monterey. The guitar ended up with Frank Zappa (as many people will know), and Belew actually played the guitar, and appears to do so here.
Yes I was knocked out by him at Bowie 78 live,especially Station to Station. I was then lucky to see him with The Heads in 1980. I run out of superlatives when talking of the man.
Didn't know that Belew joined on the tour as well :-). Nice to see they were already doing the more relaxed start of the song already in 1980. In the live version on 'The name of this band is TH' (11/9/80), it jumpstarts in the more frantic part, just like on the studio version. The stop-making-sense version does have the relaxed start. I had imagined that was a later evolution of the song.
Spare yourself; RBC - Byrne is never gonna have the guts to reunite with his ex-friends. ...BUT you might have a chance of catching Harrison and Belew play this music with a great band called Turkuaz sooner or later...
Is that Bernie Worrell on keyboard ? I know that he recorded several songs with them but not sure when he came on board while playing with P-funk . He is a legend !!!!!!! R.I.P

This is the definitive incarnation of the band!
Roma 1980.. The definitive version of this amazing song..
Yes!
Agreed!
Stop Making Sense WISHES
Agreed, but is there no cleaner hi-def hi-fi version of this anywhere?
@@modifiedcontent th-cam.com/video/IF5NvgWhgro/w-d-xo.html
Adrian Belew's guitar once the song speeds up... holy shit I love this man.
He changed the way this song was played.
If you listen to the Remain in Light original, then this version, then Stop Making Sense… Belew left his mark.

@@shanedpain7734he was incredible in King Crimson also. Check out "Waiting Man Live in Frejus 82"

@@shanedpain7734yep . And king crimson 😊
This is my favorite Talking Heads song.
Greatest rendition of this song! Adrian is epic!
1980 Talking Heads so funky they need 2 bassists
I wonder how Tina felt about that.
@@Winterstick549Well it was her decision to write two bass parts on each of the Remain In Light songs.
You should maybe wonder how Byrne felt about Adrian Belew being there, since he almost replaced him for good.
And two drummers!

Belew’s guitar is loud and clear in the mix - thumbs up
Adrian Belew? now that you mentioned it, it is something he would be interested in doing, I know they knew each other but never realized that he was on this one.
He helped write the album this is on. Later on he has covered these with turkuaz
Devastating live performance of a great song
Adrian Belew is outstanding in this .
It must have been a great tour .
These are his people, maybe even more than King Crimson
It was superb! Saw them just outside of Toronto. Outdoors. A highlight of my life.
@@jamescolyn5960 where did Crimson play just outside Toronto? Thay must have been great.
@@jamescolyn5960 or are you talking heads outside Toronto in 1980? If so my oldest brother was at thay show at Mosport. Lucky you
Still a monstrous performance. What a band, what a bonus Belew is !!
tina weymouth got a hell of a voice , this gotta be the best live version of this track
She does have a great voice which you can hear on the Tom Tom Club’s records, but I’m pretty sure the voice you’re hearing that’s loud in the mix is Dolette McDonald
@@tpm5002 For the most part yes, but Tina doesn't F it up at all and adds to it. What a performance by this group!
Passage of time, the words the music are still current. You don't get any better than this.
Adrian Belew is the special ingredient
And it killed Dave
And Steve Scales, Bernie Worrel, Busta Jones
If someone offered me a one time time travel experience, this concert
Dude, I've always said it would be a dead show for my time-machine trip......but this show has me reconsidering.
There are a few Talking Heads shows to consider. Central Park 1980 is a seminal piece of sound and fury from everyone. Stop Making Sense 1984 must have been a fever of a show.
But to be a person who got to see them live at CBGB's or the Mudd Club, man...I might have to take that.
Belew is insane. Love it.
That was a monumental performance.
holy shit! Adrian Belew AGAIN!
Do you know his history? Found by Zappa, tours. Seen by Bowie in Germany, goes and tours with him, seen by David Byrne, Joins talking heads, helps create Tom Tom Club. Outstanding resume!
i was in bologna the day before..the greatest concert ever
Amazing performance! The video editors took a while to figure out on where things were going, but they figured it out in the end!
Still channeling Fela Kuti around this time... Magnificent.
Ah. When musicians made music for the love of music and not for the pursuit of fame.
One of the greatest funk workouts of ALL TIME. That moment when the glitched keyboard riff starts at 3:38... Is it even physically possible to not want to move every muscle in your body at that point?
How can you not pounce up/down?
no !!!
this is talking heads at their top!
and undoubtedly very influenced by the 70ies ethiopan jazz scene
Every time we saw them we didn't sit for a minute and would drenched with sweat from dancing to every song
Not only is Adrian Belew shreading here. He also appears to be playing the "Hendrix Guitar" which Hendrix burned at Monterey. The guitar ended up with Frank Zappa (as many people will know), and Belew actually played the guitar, and appears to do so here.
Adrian Belew and Bernie Worrel in the same band, Dream Team !! 🤩
Belew adds much to an already great.
Did he ever. That man has one impressive resume.
Yes I was knocked out by him at Bowie 78 live,especially Station to Station. I was then lucky to see him with The Heads in 1980. I run out of superlatives when talking of the man.
Plus, it's fun to say "Adrian Belew."
SEARING HOT!
That solo too!!
Didn't know that Belew joined on the tour as well :-).

Simply Amazing! Contact high.
Still waiting... for Talking Heads to reunite so I can finally see them live.
LOL I saw them live over 10 times and it sucks cause you missed some good shit.
Spare yourself; RBC - Byrne is never gonna have the guts to reunite with his ex-friends.
...BUT you might have a chance of catching Harrison and Belew play this music with a great band called Turkuaz sooner or later...
The 2002 reunion was sad, I think they cut it off at the right time. I’m glad they didn’t drag it out for TOO long.
james brown would be proud of the groove
on the one
Mostruosi, una macchina ritmica devastante e imponente, che concerto!
pazzeschi verissimo
I WAS THERE...KILLER
Liar. I was there and didn't see you.
Me too
After a couple of shots ... We all've been there. This is fucking unreal. The intensity of this is off the charts.
Lucky boy
Lucky dog!
Zappa vibes. Excellent.
So sick 😊
this is the definitive version
Talking Heads fan? No. Love this with all my heart? YES! Funny how we get drawn together eh?!
What incredible unique music
The union of Fela Kuti with the NYC underground of the time. So cool.
You want more cowbell? You got it!!!
😂😂😂
Glorious intensity. 🙂
Sound hamner cool, gräsliches video!
Il concerto del secolo.
Peccato essere stato appena appena adolescente nel 1980
Adrian belew at 1:51 is excellent. Unsung hero
So good
My favorite of the dystopic heads song. Shoot maybe my favorite of anyone ever.
Semplicemente geniali
Is that Bernie Worrell on keyboard ?
I know that he recorded several songs with them but not sure when he came on board while playing with P-funk . He is a legend !!!!!!! R.I.P
That's him alright.
@@buckodonnghaile4309 Thanks !
check out stop making sense movie - Bernie’s there too
Yeah there's p funk on percussion and bass too iirc. Under credited contributors to taking heads' funkier side
Hmmm mmmm BW baby
I didn't want it to end..
WE NEED MORE COWBELL!
Belew was their "wrecking crew"
I was there
...che culo Riccà!
@@dueduequattro A volte conviene essere anzianotti :)
Che concerto incredibile
nasci nel 1991,leggi questi commenti e ti unisci alla fila del : "che culo riccà!"
@@SSdecline :D
Funky as fuck
bruh they are so fucking good
Someone please remaster this version
Ich habe das konzert gesehn in montreux.....
So awesome but I personally wish the bass was bigger in the mix.. that would make it divine.. still Adrian's guitar is taking the song to new heights
Che figata 💪
The original James Murphy
Magical
Cool
Their best song of their best album in the best possible version ever. Monstreous.
This is possibly the definition of Religious ecstasy?!!!!...

rippin
💜🤘🏾
Tapping the mainline
Yup
That's a lot of heavy bass...Busta and Tina! Adrian gonna bill me for the brain surgery he just did on me! Jeebus!
❤
Bernie Worrell
やはりトーキンは永遠ですね。😀
Adrian joined King Crimson right after this tour?
If only I had a time machine…
Belew!
MORE cowbell!
I didn’t realize Charlie Z was a lead singer!
Αυτό θα ΠΕΙ μουσική
Thanks for posting this. SeaBass, eh. Are they ill tempered?
Is that Bobby Watson on bass?
Busta Jones
Mamma Rai offre il Bianco e Nero?
Is he Adrian Belew?
Yes it is.
Dr. Belew eat guitar
pazzesco
I see how they influenced the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
oddio...muoio...
who’s the black guy on bass
No idea but the dude is slaying it
Busta Jones I think
There were razor-sharp movies being made in the 1930s, but this looks like it was shot with a potato..
Appreciate what you have

Dreadful album and song. Horse and Easter are great though
Why 2 bass players? Apparently the wifey couldn't hold down the bass chops by herself. Shame.
