If you like this - check out the movie in full - "Stop making sense" by Talking Heads. Directed by Johnathan Demme who went on to do "The Silence of the lambs" as well as others movies. To this day this is still for me one of the best ever concerts filmed.....(o; welcome to 1983
this is so fucking good it's unreal. It's great to see the whole band having so much fun and enjoying performing together so much.
I remember watching a gig on TV where David Byrne was wearing this massive suit. When asked why he was wearing it he said "Cos it makes my head look smaller". what a legend.
I stopped listening to the radio since the 90's. The 80's was very controversial, since there were a lot of major hits in music, but had the worst culture of the past century. Nevertheless, I would want to live it once more while listening to The Police, Depeche Mode and, of course, Talking Heads.
1:23 oh man i LOVE that little jig, makes me want to learn it more so i can do that xp great song, great song. too bad it had to be minimized =(. so energetic, makes you want to go up and dance with them =)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
uhhh im white and american but i listen to death metal to techno and the only reason people start fights about music is because they think their band is the best and hates all other music just for likeing that one genre..... except for rap and hip hop all those suck
for some reason, even though racism has been pretty much abolished for decades i love seeing people coming together like this, oh and rocking the fuck out!
racism isn't abolished until people neglect it... You abolish something through neglect... the same way you can destroy a house or relationship by neglecting it.
this band were fantastic so ahead of their time yet rooted in the past they knew music like so many others didn't wish i ha been ther e for this concert
im white you moron. and im sorry i like good music thats well composed and not some heavy screaming shit for neo-nazi faggots like yourself. dumb fuck
met my first boyfriend when i walked in a friends house and this song came on when I walked in. Dressed all in blacl and white with white hate...it was awesome...
Where did you get that info from? TH emerged from the CBGBs scene, where drug taking was prevalent, but I have never heard of the the Talking Heads being drug abusers.
im 19 years old and i was born in the last year of the 80's and this stuff is jamming, no one really likes old school anymore...im glad im brushing up on this great music im still searching for more to download...i got like a whole lot of classics...
Good for you man! When I was 16 I also dumped much of what I was listening to and started to listen to the ones that matter. The 80's were really good, there's so much music there. keep on the quest!
401 K song. My best friend a former CSU black q-back. We played some baskets- he said "You make it look ugly"- remember we are friends. Other then excentric band leader- the black musicians MADE this a great video. Is it just me?
Meh, they're all musicians/singers, doesn't really matter imo. Two of the white boys can't even move (drums + keyboard), the other guy near the pips is mostly just following their lead anyway. Good group performance. Though the camera work at 2:58 - 3:19 is pretty lame. Why they stayed in close up when he's moving around like that I don't know.
