He honestly is just not an interview person, he feels like this in most of his interviews (though it is a lot stronger here for reasons that don't need to be stated). The only time I ever saw/heard an interview where he felt fairly relaxed was the NPR special where he and Thom Yorke interviewed one another, and I think because it followed no normal format, had no normal interviewer and he also asked a lot of his own questions that made it less awkward. In addition the fact Thom is often awkward in interviews himself may have made him feel "Oh, I'm not alone in this for once".

I saw the live show when they toured and still remember it fondly and clearly today. The musicianship, performance, sense of drama and energy were spectacular. Truly one of the best bands who's artistry stands out today.

Talking heads at 50...when did I get this old? David Byrne is a homie

I've made this comment before and I'll do it again - one of the top 5 live concert performances of my 62 year old life. I've seen a lot of live shows by many of the greats of the last fifty years but his one stands out among all of them. Dallas, TX, Civic Center, summer of 1983, center aisle, third row left, seats 1-4. It was a jaw dropping, spine tingling, foot stomping experience - a great "I was there" moment of my life that was almost equaled by the film of the same name. I later saw the Tom Tom Club live at CBGBs in NYC that following year, standing so close to Debra Harry I could smell her perfume. Ah, the sweet days of my youth. I will try to see the re release in a theater and see if the hair will stand up on the back of my neck again!

Jerry Harrison - one of the great unsung heros of guitar IMHO. Not saying he was Clapton, or Page, or Hendrix, etc - but within the framework of TH he was actually pretty damn incredible. I'm five years younger than David Byrne, and I wasn't a fan of the Heads back in their heyday - just wasn't my cup of (mostly prog) tea. Took me a couple of decades, honestly. But now? I have a real respect and appreciation for them. And a good deal of that is down to Jerry. Turns out they were way more cerebral than I perceived at the time, my loss. Now I see them as true iconoclasts and pace setters. And Harrison was a big part of that (as well as Eno, some of that collaboration stuff is just mind bending, even terrifying i.e. "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts).

Thank god they recorded it digitally back then. I’m so thankful I saw them at the peak. I’ll never forget it.

Big props to the editors of this piece. The clips of Byrne developing the dance moves are great

Who knew when we were 15 that this music would mean so much to us when we were 60...

Talking Heads are one of a kind. Their music is so enjoyable and entertaining to listen to. David Byrne is one of the great musicians/songwriters of any era and any genre. Funky, cerebral, eccentric, eclectic, absurd, kinetic and incredible. David, Jerry, Tina and Chris are musical geniuses.

One of the most unforgettable performances captured on film in an amazing way!!

Such an iconic band! And Byrne is a brilliant sod. They were just starting to gain some traction when I was a freshman in 1980.

Wow reunited it's been a long time in the making in the 80s they were on fire .

I'm excited to see them together in life too short for fighting I'm proud to be a fan . I sort of missed them through the years .

Whenever I'm feeling bad I watch my DVD of this film -- they elevated the exceptional music of that time to a whole other level. I loved what was coming out of the UK but Talking Heads made it clear that we could do it and then some (& Tina Weymouth was a genuine groundbreaker) ❤

A few days ago I was walking through Pike Place, Seattle WA as all the vendors were closing up and the fish stalls were hosing down the floors and "same as it ever was" was playing on a boombox. I stopped, smiled, and listened. From East Coast, all around the world, and now on the West Coast the members of this band will always be part of the soundtrack of my life!

I actually remember Siskel and Ebert talking about this movie when it came out and they were both very impressed by it.

The Talking Heads were one of my favorite bands in their earliest days. “Fear of Music” was a masterpiece.

The best concert ever captured on film

Talking Heads was an amazing band whose performances evolved from a tight foursome to an artistically dynamic stageful of musicians, singers and dancers. I was lucky enough to witness a handful of their performances and they were all wonderful. Stop Making Sense, the film, does a great job of capturing them at their creative peak.

Ones of my favourite bands of all time. I love them so much. Great footage and interview! I was nearly crying at the end when Tina said "you don't forget but you forgive" 😢

My friends and I went to see this film every night for a week, sometimes staying for the second showing, when it opened in Cambridge. It was an out of control dance party each and every showing. Amazing memories of being young and free.

Saw this concert in Austin 1983. One of the first really great concerts my wife and I went to. Not only was the stage empty when Byrne came out with the jam box, it started 45 minutes late. Audience was really making noise, we couldn't tell what the hell was going on. One of the great mind fks of all time. As it unfolded we just couldn't believe what we seeing and were listening to. I had no idea what an incredible funk earthy sound they had. Always a great memory for us. We were just talking about it again a few days ago and BAM! I see this is released again. We went the next day. I've watched a few clips from the show here but to get to see this with the sound and up close incredible camera work. Stunning to be able to relive that moment from 40 years ago. Thank you!

I am also proud to have listened to this band all my life because my older brother listened to them on vinyl records and I played and sang a lot of their songs, with various bands, here in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This band shaped my taste in music and I thank them for that.

Saw the concert live, took my future wife and her sister to see the film, bought the tape, bought the Blue Ray, I guess I gotta go see the IMAX now. . . Always makes me feel good.

Watching David say what he knows he's supposed to say (I should have been easier to work with), but then in the next breath say, "But that's just how we were," is so telling. He knows he was a pain in the a** but doesn't feel remorse. He says he's changed, but I don't think he ever did.
