I think Talking Heads saved my life. Was a depressed 15 year old growing up in farm country in 1977... where I lived music was all about country/bluegrass rock which I liked and still do but as a person I didn't see how I fit in there. An older 19 year old girl I knew gave me her Talking Heads 77 album because she said she didn't like it but thought maybe I would because I was kind of "different". She was correct I loved it and imagined there was so much more out there and one day may find people just like me. Ended up going to art school and moving to NYC which is where I still live. The first time I heard Speaking in Tongues I was with three friends and we took lsd with that album on repeat all day. Many years ago I had an exciting new york moment of talking with Tina and Chris at an after party. David signed my copy of his book from the film True Stories. Talking Heads will top the playlist at my wake.

The concert tour came to Montreals Olympic Stadium. They were part of a four-act concert. Opening act was Stevie Ray Vaughn, followed by Peter Tosh, then the Talking Heads, and the Police. We wouldn't let the Talking Heads leave. They played encore after encore. Police roadies cut them off mid song. Never forget the opening: a boom box on a stool with the opening riff of Burning Down the House playing, and each member walked onto stage, took up their instrument, and played.

Talking Heads did a free concert at UC Berkeley on 27 November 1978, where I first saw them. Started around 11am on campus. A minute or two before the show started the crowd was suddenly abuzz with the news that Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk had just been shot dead at City Hall. We were all kinda freaking out and David Byrne walked onstage with his guitar and began Psycho Killer. It was a ligthbulb moment and that evening the streets were full of marchers and police cars were burning in front of City Hall.

Tina Weymouth is the best. Her bass was crazy.

One of the very first albums I bought when I was maybe 13 was a cassette of Stop Making Sense. Live albums are often not very interesting, but this transcends them all. The live versions on Stop Making Sense are the definitive versions of those songs, at least in my ears.

Let's give some love to the late Jonathon Demme, who brilliantly directed "Stop Making Sense".

It warms my heart to see them together again.

Music Royalty.

From a head trauma injury as a young child I ended up with a very fractured relationship to music. Unusual for me to catch onto music groups on my own..but I sure did with Talking Heads..they broke through my vagueness and I listened to their music continuously. And I managed to earn a degree from art school in that time..a real achievement. I still work creatively every day. Thank you!!

Let's not forget: their album 'Remain in Light' got selected in the National Recording Registry in 2016, while their concert movie 'Stop Making Sense' got selected in the National Film Registry in 2021, by the U.S. Library of Congress!!!

Great to see them together and nice interview because Cobert is actually a fan and knows what to ask.

Great interview for all of us over 50!

Talking Heads was THE music of my childhood and Stop Making Sense was always playing in the car. The intro alone brought me to tears.

What a joy to see this. Stop Making Sense is a benchmark against which all other live performance movies can be held, and they all fall short.

Thank you Stephen for engaging all of the band members in the interview. Other hosts would have just focused on David Byrne. Talking Heads was a most talented band with everyone contributing to its unique and unparalleled sound and not just the singer.

And what is cool about David is even if he wouldn't have been included it would be no big deal to him.

​@@flickwtchr Feels like he would had drawn more attention not being there than he does sitting there but not talking much like he did here. Nice interview.

They toured Australia as part of a dual concert line up. One night was Talking Heads and The Pretenders. The other night was The Eurythmics and Simple Minds. Wasn't much more than $15 for the ticket for either show. Nice to see the animosity of previous years dropped. There were some bitter comments e.g. Chris said "David Byrne only wants to play with David Byrne." Some real hurt and this is affirmation of the band and an Epic live film. Rocked my world and EVERYONE was saying "You have to see this!!!" A brilliant idea with so many magic moments beginning with "Hi, I gotta tape I wanna play you."

The tour where Chrissie Hynde and Jim Kerr met & hooked up, ultimately leading to marriage & having a child together.

Even though they're just doing this to promote the re-release of the movie I'm still happy as a fan to just see these 4 all sitting together.

I had the VERY GREAT privilege to see Talking Heads Live in Melbourne Australia 29th January 1984 playing the exact setlist of that concert film 'Stop making Sense'. Just a week later on Feb. 6, 1984, at the Sweetwaters South Festival in Christchurch David Byrne walked off the stage and Talking Heads stopped touring.

DAMN!!! We need an ENTIRE evening of stories from them. ❣ one of my most favorite bands.

Chris is such a funny, articulate person. So lovely to hear him talk about his time in the band ^.^

I absolutely love how all four members of Talking Heads are getting together for interviews like this. The more they do, the more comfortable they'll get being around each other. Maybe it will inspire David to write and record new songs and a new album with the other 3 which could in turn inspire a tour.

That is the dream, would love to see & hear a combination of the song styles from Naked & True Stories with the Latin/South American/Caribbean style from David's early solo albums & Natalie Merchant on guest vocals

I want to believe... I want to believe... perhaps a recording, but I suspect the old chemistry has changed sufficiently that prospect is iffy at best. Touring? Eh, we can wish but I don't see them reuniting for a tour at this point in their individual careers and lives. They don't need it, commercially or artistically. I think we're seeing the closest thing to a reunion as we're likely to see. I'd love to be wrong.

That would be awesome. I got to see The Tom Tom Club back in the day with The Ramones. It was called the Escape from New York tour. Would love to see a reunited Talking Heads! 👍

David could probably work with Jerry again, but too much baggage with Chris & Tina.

I'm a huge fan, but I hope there isn't a reunion. They've been there done that.

It makes me happy to see them all together again! They were so important to me through high school and college and I still play their songs all the time. It was a good time in music.

This is a real event. Incredible band.Love this❤️

As Pauline Kael, the legendary movie critic of the New Yorker, said, "'Stop Making Sense' makes wonderful sense."

This interview is Once In A Lifetime. Sorry I had to. 😂

I have tears of joy just watching them walk onto the ES stage.

I knew David Byrne's mom from our mutual anti-nuclear activism in the early 80s - after I saw TH in Maryland she told me she had been there & tried to find me in the audience to bring me backstage to meet the band. I was so disappointed! I was working a minimum-wage job & renting a room for $150 a month then, but I had the Speaking in Tongues album playing nonstop on my landlady's turntable. Such memories!
