Talking Heads is a great rabbit hole to go down. They were a very talented group that were very influential for later bands, both musically & visually (they were a bunch of Rhode Island School of Design kids after all).

I hear you, and I can relate. I grew up in Austin, and we had an incredible punk scene in the mid 70s throughout the early 90s, during the post-punk, post new wave eras. I was a teenager, and went to all the punk, and new wave shows in the clubs, as minors were allowed. I was lucky to see amazing local Austin punk and new wave bands, as well as national and international bands, for next to nothing. What was even better, was that the venues were tiny, and my friends and I got to meet and hang out with a lot of the musicians; many of whom went on to be very famous later in life. When that happened, it was nearly impossible to see them in the same way, ever again. But, I am glad so many of them got famous, good for them.

Amazing female BASS Player... look up Carol Kaye.... who???

@ArcFixer

Жыл бұрын

Hi Marty. I don't need to look up Carol Kaye. Carol Kaye is the most heard unheard of musician in the World. She laid down the groove on some 10,000 recordings of various genres and was a key member of the elite session band The Wrecking Crew. The Wrecking Crew included other such notables as Glen Campbell and Leon Russell. She's still going strong at the age of 88 and has a KZread channel. Tina Weymouth had never played bass before the Talking Heads. She was founding member Chris Frantz's girlfriend. But she had taught herself to play guitar. They couldn't find a bass player they liked so they asked her to give the bass a try. She succeeded magnificently. What more could you ask? Carol Kaye's eminence among all bassists, not just female, does not throw shade on Tina Weymouth's incredible talent in any way, shape, or form. Give credit where credit is due. Cheers.

This is one of those instances where the live recording beats the studio hands down. Something about the frenetic nature of the running makes it crazy good.

Tina Weymouth is one of the greatest bassists, she still plays as well today as she did in the 70's and 80's. She's 72 years old now. David Byrne is a musical genius, and he always has something fun up his sleeve for the live shows. You should check out "Burning Down the House" "Wild Wild Life" "Once in a Lifetime" "And She Was" "Road To Nowhere " to mention a few. Glad you enjoyed this, they've always been one of my favorites. I graduated high school in '82' so this brings back a lot of great memories. Take care and stay safe. ❤ & ✌️

I had the awesome experience to see this phenomenal band in the early stages of their beginnings at a club, many old timers would know about in NYC, called CBGB's back in 1976. As a young dude at 22, I was starry-eyed when I met my first ever female bassist. Tina Weymouth blew me away. She also went on the perform with her own group, a side project, called The Tom Tom Club. The drummer Chris Frantz is also her husband and played drums for the Club. Thanks Polo for sharing this awesome concert and reaction. Looking forward to more of this content from you.

They were a great, very original band - and the movie from with this is taken (Stop Making Sense) is one of the most well constructed and executed concert films of all time.

I am a huge fan of the Talking Heads, and when this video came out in the 80's I was amazed. Loved it my whole life. Such a talented band.

It was 1980 when a friend (still a close friend😊) introduced me to 'Remain in Light'. That record blew my mind and opened myself up for a wise scale of music. Later i got the feeling that this record defined the decade. I saw Talking Heads in the very early 80ies at Cologne (Germany) when a couple of songs of the 'Stop Making Sense' tour where not even released on a record. 'Talking Heads' are still one of my favourite bands and i really think, that music aged very well.

You owe it to yourself to watch the entire movie "Stop Making Sense". Its one of the best concert movie's ever made.

You should consider watching this whole concert video. In my opinion one of the best live shows ever caught on tape. It’s called Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense. It is fantastic the whole show starts as a blank stage and David Byrne comes out with a boom box and an acoustic guitar and destroys “Physco Killer” and then as the show goes on they gradually build in the rest of the stage. Highly recommend !!

The amount of energy of The Talking Heads of this performance was incredibly fun & the crowd had a great time watching that performance. You have any questions 😂

One of the most entertaining bands ever. Jethro Tull would be another band that is amazing live.

This was the soundtrack of my college years and it changed my taste in music. TH were all individually brilliant musicians and this concert will go down in history as one of best live performances of all time. Stop Making Sense is an experience you won’t regret 🙏🏼

Best rock movie ❤ Amazing band.

I’ve loved the Talking Heads since the first time I heard them back in 77. I just recently turned my 23-year-old son onto them and he loves him just as much.

I love Tina watching at 6:30 like "what's he up to?". Proves that David's stage moves weren't all rehearsed.

Eccentric is the best way to describe The Talking Heads!! I hope Life During Wartime isn’t a prophecy that will be soon fulfilled 😢. One of my all time fave’s

Saw David Byrne last year on Broadway with his American Utopia show. Man still is a great performer. If you get a chance, give it a watch.

You got the best introduction possible brother. I like a lot of their live performances even better than the studio ones. A lot of band don't fare well live but they stand out. Glad you did this one.

Stephen Colbert just interviewed Talking Heads on their 40th anniversary. They have a film coming out on IMAX. For those of you who don’t know, the drummer and female guitarist have been married to each other for 40 years. Interesting tidbit. I was in the military as was Tina’s father. He was a Navy Admiral and we happen to both have the same auto insurance company…USAA. Years ago when Tina and Chris were living in San Antonio where USAA is headquartered, their magazine did an article on the couple. I remember she was holding a gorgeous turquoise guitar.

Amazing live show. Whole thing is worth watching. Girlfriend is Better is an absolute banger in this performance.

This album was my getting ready to go out soundtrack - especially Slippery People.

Such a strong band and this is one amazing film. Definitely have a good sound system for best results.

The entire recorded show is a must see! Imagine how good that sounded in that little theatre! Great reaction!

Talking Heads' album 'Remain in the Light' is flawless, a marriage of rock and electro effects that is astonishingly fertile, moving, excellent to dance to, and unique. Do give it a go dear Polo.

From one music lover to another, you need this whole concert in your life. It changed my life, honestly. You don’t have to react to it, but watch it.

David Byrne and Freddie Mercury from Queen IMHO put on the greatest stage shows ever. They are both great compsers, writers, directors and and musicians. David has this crazy ability to run around stage for 2 hrs and never miss a breath or a note while singing his artistic mind is unbelivelible. Thank you for doing this one haven't thought about them in years gonna watch the whole concert now...peace

You know I grew up on this at the time of the New Wave and all that and I still think that bunches like the Talking Heads or the Specials or Tom Tom Club or the Selecter or English Beat or Fun Boy Three that had blacks and whites playing and writing together were the absolute top musically and still are in regards to the cultural synergy these groups were able to reach. Truth is it was pure magic and for me and the other punks and weirdos of my gen simply the norm. So sad we live in a world where this is not much possible because we are all missing out on so much. Thanks God all these people were so brave. Needless to say none of them had it easy. Never stop praying that these vibes and open attitudes come back and everybody just chills. Peace out!

It's a performance for the ages. The energetic ad lib choreography elevates an already excellent song to a new wave masterpiece. I'm equally perplexed at how they can play so tightly while jumping around and whatnot.

The whole concert was amazing.

This concert is the 8th wonder of the world. Never gets old.

The fact you notice Tina Weymouth on bass without knowing anything prior shows how underrated she was. And now you have to listen to the first Tom Tom Club album.

These guys came into the scene in the late seventies and by the time of this performance they were absolutely huge! All over the airwaves constantly. I was in my early twenties and when I think of the 80s this band immediately comes to mind.

Yes! You got to do Psyco Killer or Once in a Life Time, next and Burning Down the House is their big hit but it's a hit for a reason

Yessss, Thank you Polo. This is one of My favorite songs and especially videos to watch. David Byrne is a Genius!! So glad you liked it. ❤️❤️

The band is actually just four members - eccentric singer David Byrne, bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz (Tina and Chris are married) and crazy keyboardist Jerry Harrison. For this concept live movie (Stop Making Sense) they assembled a much larger group of musos. The whole thing is worth watching start to finish. So many brilliant tracks and, as you point out, unbelievable energy throughout.

This is one EPIC band!!! They started out at CBGBS in New York in the 70’s

Widely considered the greatest concert film of all time. I’ve never known anyone who didn’t think it was great.

Born in 83 like my first born son. I was an early Talking Heads fan from 1977. Scottish born David Byrne is an on the spectrum autism genius songwriter and performer. They were so funky. This is an art performance. It was the 80's. Brought in a world music vibe, working with Brian Eno has a huge influence on their work, too. And Bassist Tina Wymouth created the funkiest bass lines. I listen to only all of Talking Heads right through most of the 80's. A deep catalogue. Watch their live in Rome concert too. Burning Down the House is one of my faves,

For a totally different take on the dichotomy of this song, read the lyrics. It's about the harshness of life during wartime.

Only David Byrne could take a song with such dark lyrics, and perform it with unmatched, upbeat choreography. And, it works!

​@@robertirvine6307Yup, and I think the point of the comment was that neither Polo nor many of the posters here have taken note of the lyrics. Yeah, it's a banger, yeah Byrne is a remarkable showman and the band absolutely nails it... but the lyrics are serious. Give me chills every time, especially these days when we've seen the US Capitol attacked, people openly threatening violence and talking about civil war. The message is that calamitous events can make partying to good music, and all that goes with it, a distant memory. Don't assume it can't happen to us. "Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, PA? You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play" - Talking Heads

@@civildiscourse2000 Absolutely this music is serious. But it's not just music, it's performance art. The good time party atmosphere is meant to be totally ironic. The danger is the American public aren't getting what goes on because they are too busy with their superficial lives. Polo included it seems. Listen to the chorus of the song. "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin around..."

One of the most underrated and underappreciated bands of all time . You should definitely explore more from them . I recommend some lesser known but amazing songs such as Blind , Mr. Jones , or the Lady don't mind . The hits can wait.

Underrated and underappreciated by whom? They were extremely appreciated and highly rated in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, at least. Glad that KZread is around so that younger generations can appreciate them all over again.

@patrick brandimarto So you wanna bet 90 out of that same 100 wouldn't know who the Beatles were? I still hear Queen , Aerosmith , Van Halen , Led Zeppelin, THE BEATLES, etc constantly played and referenced in the mainstream culture , the Talking Heads WERE ALWAYS considered counter culture before the term was invented .

I used to drum on a cover version of this, and it was always a personal favourite moment in the set... It's definitely worth watching the whole "Stop Making Sense" gig in order, as the band kind of assembles itself song by song

They're running because they're acting out the narrator's first person perspective of being on the run "during wartime".

David Byrne the lead singer is a musical genius and yeah he's probably a little crazy Sometime in the early 90s he moved to Brazil and is the greatest music producer in Brazilian Rock and roll history Just goes to show that when it comes to music the line between crazy and brilliant gets blurred often and I feel like he's got both in spades .. any time I see his name attached to something it's worth checking out
