David Byrne dancing is one of the things in life that make me so happy. He just fills me with delight when he's totally in his own zone dancing. And it's like an invitation of some kind, like we are presented with the dance in all its precision and urgency , it says you can make space in the world for you rather than trying to fit somewhere. So, when he is dancing it is always a giddy liberation.
Yes, and if you have ever seen him live, you know it's almost impossible to pass up the invitation. Byrne is walking (and, yes, Talking) proof that, if you do something with enough authority, even dorky dancing and shaggy hot pink suits, it becomes cool.
You still can, nothing stopping you except perhaps a genius creative ability and energy but hey, nothing is actually impossible because the entire universe is just a simulation.
Stop Making Sense, by far the greatest Rock and Roll movie ever made. I saw it 7 times in theater purchased the vhs and saw it another 30 times and now own it on dvd. So original!!!
Maybe the audience just wasn't ready for this shit! We can look back on it now almost 15 years later and say yeah I would of been going crazy..but David Byrne seems to have habit of being ahead of his time, considering this song was already about 15 years old at the time.
It bums me out the crowd is so quiet, but I think that's a convention of 90's concert shows. They want the focus on the performer, not on the crowd, when really the energy from both should feed off one another. I get the feeling if they filmed something like this now, the crowd would be going nuts.
I read that because these were basically Sony label corporate shows, all the "audience" were label execs and a few friends and family. They see big shows and artists all the time and have become numb to amazing performances. I loved this show, though. Some performers were able to overcome the bland reactions, or they tried to egg on the audience because they were so zombified. Check out the Ben Folds Five episode for an absolute killer performance.
I’m just hella impressed with all of that kinetic dancing in his totally-buttoned-up furry suit. That’s some impressive devotion to fashion, but I’d expect no less. Edit: ah wait, I spoke too soon. But he used the lyrics, “open up!” to cue taking off his jacket. Smoove! BTW, this is pretty much my favorite Heads song. What a wicked groove!
I'm Still Watching This Piece Of Footage 6 Years On... David Never Ceases To Astound Me.. The True Definition Of A Musician, There Really Is Just No Denying It !!!!!!..
fucking awesome. visually as well as aurally interesting, classic david byrne. anyone know what that keyboard/slide guitar instrument playing the solo is called?
Loved The Way The Interviewer Laughed When David Said He Couldn't Afford All That ..' Multi Media Stuff '.... Truth Is ... David Byrne Don't Need All That Bollocks ... xxxx
there were two pieces of music i heard as a 12/13 year old that utterly stopped me in my tracks, I didn't even know if i liked them or not, i just knew id never heard anything like them and i was entranced, one was 'the message, grand master flash and the furious five', the other was 'once in a lifetime, talking heads' which i saw accompanied by the promotional video. I remember exactly where i was when i first heard themThey has such a huge impact on me
This is my favorite live version of this song. I like it better than the version in "Stop Making Sense," if only because the time signature is slower. It's just so, so cool.
I personally prefer the stop making sense version more, not just because of the incredible musicianship that was but also because of the authenticity of the whole performance

When I first saw Talking Heads in 1983 as an 11 year old I didn't think David Byrne was real
simon richardson he isn't real
simon richardson .... He Isn't Real.... He's Surreal !!!!!!..
This is the best comment on TH-cam ever
@Christine Gralow All of you need to transvestigate, they were both female to male transgendered like all musicians, actors and politicians.
1984 discovered talking heads .drove all over Europe listening to classic music like this .

me too
I wanted to be David Byrne when I grew up.
You still can, nothing stopping you except perhaps a genius creative ability and energy but hey, nothing is actually impossible because the entire universe is just a simulation.
That backup singer is FIRE 😍
I don't get how the audience can remain seated through this. Get up and dance, people.
Byrne is unreal
Ah now I understand, Chis and Tina's roll in Talking Heads was to keep David on planet Earth.
Freaking fantastic🎶
michael Morrison phe-nominal
I just realized I dance like David
i like how this implies that jerry's role is still just to look cute
@@tapeworm6093 I do, a little, myself. not as much precision, or rhythm, but with a similar sensibility in relating to the music kinetically.

Do not agree
what’s better than that?
@@seth5394 nothing is better than that.
Is it?
in case anyone was wondering:
christina wheeler, bruce kaphan on keys, rea mochiach at the back, desmond foster on bass
Good to see them credited. They more than deserve it. This is one hell of a performance. Electrifying.
The perfect shirt to wear under a fluffy pink suit.
Never ever ever ever get tired of this version of this song. "I'll show you how to do it, ya'all can do it later..."
such a great bass line
That Pedal Steel Guitar Never Ceases To Impress.. That Man Is A Musician !!!!.. 🙏🏻
Bruce Kaphan 🤟
He is completely mad but OMG I just love it ! David Byrne has his own very special moves.
There is no other band that sounds anything like talking heads....great band
PSY TRANCE the drummer is looking like he having a great time. rock on!!!!
except this isn't the talking heads
this is solo david byrne my man. i mean it's a talking heads song he's performing but he has sort of a different take on music when he's solo
LCD Soundsystem, kinda
Glad I was in Providence to remember David and other alking head members....very special time musically
Their voices are so beautifully awesome together. Very strange, but very good!
Fighting Badgers this lady is such a great dancer. let's party girl!!
Fighting Badgers what wrong with the crowd. Get down
Maybe the audience just wasn't ready for this shit! We can look back on it now almost 15 years later and say yeah I would of been going crazy..but David Byrne seems to have habit of being ahead of his time, considering this song was already about 15 years old at the time.
Looks the the Audience is in a collective COMA.
Heavy meds
David Byrne....🤔😆 He's a brilliant ORIGINAL!!! Can't help but laugh. He's so fun AND COOL!!!
The guy definitely has STYLE!🙂💞👍
I love how organic he is.

this is unnerving. *i love it*
This man is the greatest dancer of all time :)

It was a sit-down , made-for-TV performance, I don't think the crowd was supposed to do anything other than enjoy it.

they were stricken by covid and didn't even know it!
This is my new favorite song of all time
Still have the 12" of this a phenomenal talent
The female dancer / singer is beautiful wow 👍
The perfect show
Just crazy freaking good
+will amato
Second that. Awesome.
Don't know how the audience can stay so still!!
His movements, even talking is cartoon like! Long live David Byrne & TH's!

when the first chorus hit, my brain erupted
He walks that fine line between outrageous and insane - and we happily follow
With all of the visuals and the dancing, you just don't expect that steel guitar solo--truly unique.
unbeliveable...this is MUSIC...
They should be up and DANCING!!!!!!!!!!
I can't get enough of this... :]
One of my favorite Byrne performances, really nails the joy of Talking Heads here
I'm Still Watching This Piece Of Footage 6 Years On... David Never Ceases To Astound Me.. The True Definition Of A Musician, There Really Is Just No Denying It !!!!!!..
I keep coming back, what a great dance track
Thanks you all, kisses Sylvia
David Byrne is a perfectionist.....great performance ! ... great vocalist!
oh if I could only go back 40 years in time!
Where can I get a Barney suit like the one David's wearing? He showed me how to do it so I really want to do it latter.
You there 9 years later? Because I might finally have an answer
How is one white dude so funky?!
freaking genius that's all there is to it !
Like nobody else. Very good albums and lives since many many years. Explorating musics and lyrics.
these are all great..having a great time cleanin and dancing to this!..thank you!
So David Byrne does this, it’s considered cool. I do this, I get escorted out of the library.
0.0 we're doing the dancing as training routines in aquajogging! Epic!
So fkn rad. This song rocks!!
fucking awesome. visually as well as aurally interesting, classic david byrne. anyone know what that keyboard/slide guitar instrument playing the solo is called?
Declan P Idk of it's a Pedal steel guitar or a console steel guitar
"Our president is crazy! Did you hear what he said?"
"Step out of line, they'll put you in jaaail"
"Business and pleasure. Lie right to your face. Decided in sections, and give it away"
And he was referring to Reagan when the album came out. He had NOOOO idea!!

This is either a David Byrne show, or a try hard Substitute teacher trying to be the cool teacher for the last class of the day.
