Talking Heads - Live in Rome 1980 - 08 Life During War Times

[rexmorgan327]

the heads are very underappreciated

[ripsaa2003]

Tina reminds me of a young Jodi Foster...very hot

[FoxPico]

Great version, but was there some rule here that says that if you're not playing drums or a cowbell, then you're issued a guitar? So many guitarists. ^__^;

[denisekeane]

tiene alpargatas!

[gxtmfa]

Buster Jones on guitar? That's pretty sweet.

[cv41393]

i was there

[REMCUREBOY]

Tina Weymouth... is smoking in this clip!!! (I love this damn song!!)

[heisbusyman]

i think those clips in rome can become movie

like stop making sence

they are worth enough!

[subhumanx7]

These guys are cooking with Gasoline. Like a Molotov cocktail.

The heads at their prime and Belew to boot.

[bucknorm]

OMG these Rome vids are awesome

[jcshultis]

Um, y'all seem to have missed that Tina's syncopated bass lines are the heart and soul of the Talking Heads sound. Without her, this would just be another band. So, quit obsessing about how she looks, and appreciate her amazing artistry.

[pootzie]

@jcshultis Can't I do both? :^)

I should thank her for the bass lessons someday.

[Ksimp9]

anyone ever notice dave byrne looks kinda like bill nye the science guy, and sounds like the guy from B52s, and I think the singer from Joy Division looks like him too.

[Demoman1980]

That guitar player is fucking incredible.

[martydm22]

@Demoman1980 - Amen, that's Adrian Belew of King Crimson fame.

[ArthurEricBlair]

Byrne looks like Frankenstein's monster here. which is apt, because he's killin it.

[Rudolphus91]

Quam bonum est discere linguam Latinam!

[7DeadlySinsVideos]

"Life during Wartime"

[arizonaboy77]

to much A still love 

[Pwrcritter]

Look at Tina...way ahead of her time!!!

[tugster19]

Tina is soo fuking sexy giddAY GOOOO

[spick1923]

what a gig top fucking draw man!

I have been jumping around to this as much if not more then

stop making sense.

pure brilliance!!!

[theevindave]

why is belew so well lit , he looks like charlie chaplins granny

[jgelkin]

they all look suuuper skinny. mad blow...

[XxMiG71xX]

Talking Heads in Rome. fuck yeah

[maclennan73]

I love my wife for giving me this.

[marcodearmas]

i really don't get it....only 117,873 views.....great concert!!!

[boibad12]

whats that white square thing aobve frantz's drumset???

[northjerseydan1]

@boibad12 I think it's a PZM microphone.

[boibad12]

@northjerseydan1 oh ok thanks

[rickydicky100]

rip roaring version of a classic song by a top band

[MoveOverCasanova]

the one background singer sounds *brrr* -- on stop making sense the 2 girls!! sound harmonic -- whata difference those details make!!

by the way, i like harrisons and byrne´s guitar work better than belew´s !

so this is pretty hot, but stop making sense is still the real deal!!!

[crieswhicharewings]

This concert is surely one of the best live performances i've ever witnessed.

[mikegregor1]

unfreaking real

[Bloxy123]

THIS AIN'T NO PARTY!

THIS AIN'T NO DISCO!

THIS AIN'T NO FOOLIN' AROUND!

No time for dancin,

Or lovey dovey,

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT NOW!

[f15mos]

Is Adrian Belew on guitar? COOL

[UrbanGuerilla88]

3:05 LOU REED,kidding

[shamwoww]

@UrbanGuerilla88 this ain't no disco

[SativaBeliver]

adrien belew is the man

[appledecca]

Thank you.1 for the favourites...terrific perfomance. whatever they were on ...i wouldn't mind some...he he.. .

[sydbarret1973]

get your facts right chumleh

[sydbarret1973]

read the talking heads book fa fa fa fa fa the adventures of talking heads in the 20th century,byrne admits to bein a coke freak

[Nohname1]

very few weren't back in the day.

[sydbarret1973]

byrne did do drugs.during stop making sense he would put on his suit and take atoot(coke)

[BigWeebz]

FUCKING AWESOME. I wish I could have seen talking heads live....alas, I am only 22 so I was born a bit too late.

btw: TINA IS SO HOT DROPPIN' THAT BASS

[Chumleh]

Real music hasn't gone anywhere. Talking Heads, at least Byrne and Belew, didn't do drugs.

This song kicks so much ass...

[PaytonWestlake]

Real Music is'nt dead. It's just gone underground. You just have to dig a little deeper to find it. This kinda makes it a bit more rewarding when you do actually find a great band. Check out any of these:

watch?v=rbrq9CC1ips

watch?v=ZtdXl3QZD_A

watch?v=nY7wDdBbLfk

watch?v=Sgt6v_1Rwmo

[wmwasmer]

No pardy no disco..just Skinny R&R ...

do fo?

[40Rtruss]

Someone please tell me what the hell happened to real music, lord I miss the Old days

[surivirus]

i like Tina Weymouths performance

[gards2]

They all on drugs? so SKINNY!

[dubwizenheimer]

uhhh.....1980, me thinks COCAINE !

[650monza]

People were slimmer in those days. Stay hungry!

[drohegda]

no david byrne watches what foods he eats also since the 1980s when he lived in n.y. c. he bycycled anywhere he went. and in his down time he traveled to different countrys and bycycled and made a dairy which he made into a book of urban observations around the world. plus all that energy on stag.

[apolosecki]

@drohegda all of that... AND coke

[FunnyHaHaFunnyHaHa]

They rocked !

[hctee]

how does belew have his guitar so low and play those licks? i can't work it out.

[bufu23bufu]

5 stars, thumbs up! pretty different to "stop making sense" movie, but still so intense and energetic. great video!

[rimbauxxx]

so intense

[Chumleh]

A word to the wise: never watch this video while doing Latin homework. You will be staring slackjawed at your computer screen by 1:00 and jumping around without clothes on by 4:00.

=D

[BringBackTheEighties]

Oooops to late LOL

Your comment made me laugh thanks! :)

[MikeyRed76]

@Chumleh I don't think you need to be doing Latin homework for this vid to have that same effect.

[MrBumpmen]

@Chumleh

Ya baby, I love it!

[madastrota]

why does the stupid cameraman hang on the percussionist's face during Belew's solo?  what a jerk

[ItsRainingDonuts]

the real question is which morons voted your comment to -3?? It's a perfectly valid point!

Belew is playing a fucking great bit of guitar as ever and for some reason they decide to linger on some guy looking like he's adjust himself..

[madastrota]

i think the cameraman rated my comment

[aymric]

Blame the person who edited the film, not the cameraman.

[puppyj93]

is that back up singer naked?

[watchstrap1]

wtf is the director on

[iPwnzorz]

A lot of this concert is filmed... badly. Some really odd moments (and for some reason the repeat of David Byrne saying "THANK YOU!" throughout). Sit back and enjoy the music though.

[yourthocool]

i didnt know tina weymouth ever looked this hawt

[oldoipunk]

@yourthocool Agreed!

[Parisxtc]

@yourthocool hell yeah she did ...

[kotsreveb]

Yes, this is great, in my opinion better even than the Stop Making Sense era Heads, breathtakingly good!

[astertyui]

bye sexy

omfg lol that's so funny!!! g9

[cuddy62dj]

Rai doc riprese di alta qualità Mediaset ancora era in alto mare TALKING INDIMENTICABILI un gruppo fantastico....

[squonkamatic]

Check out Busta Jones playing a Telecaster guitar too instead of bass; Holy Mother Of God this band was special.

[squonkamatic]

If you get the two disc remaster of "Fear Of Music" you can hear the alternate take of this song's studio version with Robert Fripp playing the bridge solo.

[heimdallhinfrode]

This ain't no fooling around. If you can find "Three of a perfect pair" live show by King Crimson, that's a great showcase for Adrian's guitar playing. Plus he plays a percussion duet with Bill Bruford in it.

[alexitin]

tapping phone lines

we know that that ain't alowed.

So relevant.

[zuton100]

this aint no fooling around

[torgo714]

What a great drummer Chris Frantz is. He can bang out a beat or he can get funky, funky, funky.

[paulhcan]

They all appear to be 100% amazing, including Belew.

[statnerd52]

too bad Belew was clueless half the time Byrne swore to never work with him again...

[interpareto]

i must be missing something. live, these concerts are virtually unsurpassable and belew was a part of that, i'm a huge TH and david byrne fan, but belew's guitar on this tour was totally integral to the experience. take that for what you will from a bald 45 yr old guy who saw them once and once only in 83 and still considers it a "once in a lifetime" concert experience.

[frenchkids]

that's not the impression i got, where did you hear that??

[personflesh]

Hey, another response from me... are you basing the 'clueless' bit on what you're hearing, or on what someone (Byrne or otherwise) said? I'm hearing essentially amazing, more-than-complementary stuff from belew in all of these Rome videos.

[squonkamatic]

what the hell ... after 1981 Adrian Belew was a memeber of KING CRIMSON, Einstein, and was working with Laurie Anderson in 1983 and again in 1986-87: he didn't have time for Talking Heads albums or tours. If there was friction it was between Belew and Tina Weymouth over the first Tom Tom Club album where they erased some of Belew's solos. Belew also plays on The Catherine Wheel, done after this tour was over.

[scober2003]

That's Adrian Belew on lead guitar....see King Crimson Elephant Talk..here onj YouTube

[RATkins741]

I thought I was only person this peranoid!

[pinholedstars]

what is that sign that comes down and says "Nadda Cock"?

[cazoo]

ha! adrien is wearing kung fu shoes!

[drofrockology]

typical concert footwear for adrian.

[tomcatfoxy]

Do bass players get any better and any cooler than Tina?

[schmender]

they certainly do not.

or any more attractive, at least.

[bjbjbjbjbj]

agreed

she'd have to have it

this is my all time favourite song

[2nd anyway]

[johnmarkos]

I saw "Psycho Killer" from this show on another YouTube video and I thought it wasn't their best performance, but this? Amazing.

[classof77]

Agree -- Psycho Killer and I Zimbra are both kind of messed up in this rendition, but most of the rest of the concert is freaking transcendent; even better than Stop Making Sense.

[annegrgich]

THIS AINT NO PARTY!!!

[chrisjohncook7]

one of my favourite songs - so unsentimental but makes life worth living

[ekpppp]

These are just incredible, incredible. I'm slack-jawed, incredulous, goose-bumped, and I'm a pretty big Talking Heads fan.

[kitakashiwa]

Cold War Fever!

[ePhilosopher]

so my question is...... what will

[cavarzano]

I saw them in bologna,same tour,amazing!

[swamplifecontrol]

Awsome! Band! Song! Performance! Wish Belew could have been in "Stop Making Sense". But David and the other guy both had some serious guitar chops in that.

[hajke2]

Great concert! Wish I've been there

[benballen]

he fits in well.this song is good

[bapyou]

Guy shaking his head @ 2:53....LMAO! Whacky Italians!

[ePhilosopher]

time squared, throw your television

leftovision, out of the window

[mattaki]

check out the "stop making sense" movie. the guy they have on there is awesome too.

[jbe14]

Awesome song and band. Thanx for uploading this. God bless the web!

[Artemetra]

Missed Fripp? I just miss Tina. And the rest of the Heads. Sniff.

[julianveronica]

fripp is just a guy with fast fingers. i saw him live, and was not impressed.
