Talking Heads - Live in Rome 1980 - 11 The Great Curve

[DonYonson1983]

not enough people have watched the 'Making Flippy Floppy' video from "Stop Making Sense"... if you like this, then you'll like that video too.... i promise!

[daregularperson]

Uh oh, I reached the end of Youtube! No related videos...

[ratbatblu]

2 people listen to Bieber and Gaga and have no idea how truly awesome this music is.

[pdgaelitstrat]

Great nostalgic upload !Thanks.Jeez, 31 years ago?"And U may ask yourself,

How did i get here?"Adrian Belew was,is,&will continue to be an astonishingly

origional & creative force in the world of 'sideways'guitar playing! THANX agian!!

[scotmunda90]

Multiple eargasms. This is what I want to do in life.

[peteytwofinger]

a word of advice for aspiring bands , keep the camera guy away from the cocaine . seems like weymouth and byrne didnt appreciate belews minute in the spotlight there . i heard when they brought him in the told him , "just do your guitar freak-out thing " , what did they expect ? what a sound they made , as a whole !

[peteytwofinger]

adrian takes 2 solos , one at 2:05 and then at 5:18 .

[rocknjac58]

This was probably the seed that eventually became Stop Making Sense

[73BigMC]

MASSIVE BASS!

[Sunflower0122Z]

Wow! What an ending they ripped it up. Chris Frantz was the man on this one and Tina was raging.

[chaucerg]

oh my god

Boy, they havin' muthafuckin' church up on that stage!

[xtapir]

This is great, and I am very sorry to recognize that Yoko Ono has something to do with, that crazy bitch! I hate her music, and I love Talking Heads, but they are clearly related.

[uninoculated]

Sorry, but this is better than King Crimson. I mean, I'm glad 80s KC happened, but this will always be more epic.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

This would be the reunion tour of a lifetime!....Only other one to compare would be if Peter Gabriel re-joined Genesis and they did LAMB LIES DOWN

[classof77]

Coruscatingly mind-blowing; incandescent.

[Nautilus1972]

I just don't get the whole Talking Heads thing. I've tried. They look weird, sound weird, just not in a good way ... Bill Bailey said this was brilliant ... but it's not.

[daegrant]

@Nautilus1972 Pity (that you don't get it). It's a good thing to get. This is where new wave, funk, African music, guitar pyschosis, jazz, geek and cool collide. Magnificently

[smartalek1]

@Nautilus1972

Music is a matter of taste; there are clearly no "should"s about it.

Your taste is what it is, and it's no less valid than anyone else's. You don't have to answer to anyone for it.

But because of that, you do need to recognize that "you don't like it" ≠ "not brilliant."

[bamboosa]

2 guitars, Tina on bass. Woops, Cancel that - 2 guitars, 2 basses.

[bamboosa]

2 guitars, Tina on bass.

[gvinoduduki]

Delicious, Unbelievable!!! :)))

[Supaduck0]

0.29 i love her reaction lol

[billbassplayer01]

@Supaduck0  You know it's gonna be good and their cooking right there.

[paulooca67]

"But it moves! On a woman's HIPS!!" - Galileo

[floratone]

do i see 3 bass players?!



[Pervvi]

Totally mind-blowing

[OlderWaiter]

this is ridiculous..

[xxBIRDY]

afrofunk

[o08140o]

WOW!

[gclafontaine]

The wickedest groove ever.

[mpwelk]

Even the Pope was dancing!

[joedaviso]

The awesome. It is too much.

[TheGator2112]

This is undoable the best improvisation seen in years! Adrian!!!

[malovepumato]

ma quanto quanto quanto QUANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO mi piace questa canzone!

"the world moves on a woman's hips"

[clownsyndrome]

shortly after 2.00 mr. belew starts strangling his guitar in sheer awesomeness :-). god i miss those old king crimson vids they had on youtube

and i love the vid quality. it matches the song.

[triscat]

This is Holy.

[Travis1969]

there are no words to describe how COOL this is !!!!!!

I Agree !!!!!!!

[zepnu]

"the hands that move us are invisible"

[maruvianz]

One of my favorites songs!! Sooooo good!!!

[smallpawwly44]

god damn adrian's the fuckin man...during a time when u had to have the skill to match the effects man his playing pretty much is an effect in itself...

[marclarinet1]

I saw them in Chicago in October 1980, and seeing this video brings it all back! Thanks!!!!! This is amazing!!!!!!!

[ihatebowling]

She's looking to describe the world. She has messages for everyone.

[zaezen]

hynotnic !!!!!!!!

[Niraham]

Punk Funk!

[daryldarko]

i'll NEVER tire of watching this. btw, Happy Birthday Adrian!!

[tethystheone]

The best of the best

[rockgod111]

there has been no word invented for how cool this is........

[aandddesign]

True!!!

[ArtsPatron2008]

@rockgod111  How 'bout "spectaculicious?"

[silvr90210]

@rockgod111 @rockgod111 how about..... "cooo........ooo...."inhail" oool."

[oldskoolhooligans]

how much would I love to have been there! Check out Belew's solo!

[malovepumato]

the best bass guitar ever!

[frickadele]

Gives me rushes.

[ModelManTom]

That's a bad ass performance whatever is said about the camera work.

[DelJunya]

Hammah Pants FTW!!

[mars71mustang]

I think the dance rythm is unbelievable. Each of the musicians contribute to the song like a jazz or fusion band. These guys were on a major high in this performance. It just makes you dance and get lost in its performance and sound. Yes, the camera work sucks but it means nothing compared to the bands performance.

[malovepumato]

tina rules!

[LarryCovar]

BELEW THE TWANG BAR KING!

[malovepumato]

way farther than that!!!

[Passthetushengpen]

Far OUT!

[TheFlamingBarrel]

Roland JC-120 represent

[ifightaliens]

Such a great amp... I was lucky to get a vintage one for $350

[ernestoche4ever]

i was at the concert in bologna 2 days before..the best concert i ever seen..adrian belew was amazing

[reefpirate]

who's the white guitar player? He's wicked, and i don't see him in any other talking heads vids...

[iPwnzorz]

Adrian Belew. Played for King Crimson.

[InteliEast]

Still does play with Crimson!

He also performed on Talking Head's "Remain in Light" and "The Name of this band is..."

He also worked with Frank Zappa and a bunch of others, including 3 Nine Inch Nails albums!

[boibad12]

@reefpirate adrian belew?

[almadora]

hi adrian! i love you all the way from carolina!

[MarydoBruno]

what to say! thank you for posting. Pure magic.

[DarkonDozac]

HOLY SHIT!!!

[hskrfnatic]

Almost unreal.

Someone said recently that they felt sorry for people that have never experienced goose bumps while listening to good music.

Prime example here.

The video adds to it.

[GraceToGo]

Remain in Light Album is the best including to Adrien Belew

[suonovisione]

I was 17 and I was there. One of the best concert ever seen a turnpoint in my life. Music, body and mind at the highest level.

[BenjaminThomasCox]

/damn

[Maximillion666]

Wish more music was this good these days. If you like this check out Lcd Soundsystem .

[zopwx2]

Adrian Belew ftw

[zangalho]

Lindo.

[okkitrooy]

Yeah, it was good and great to be young in 1980. And I was there, not in Rome but Amsterdam Paradiso!

[Chumleh]

The Heads transcend music. Everything about this performance is magic.

[Leckbandwidth]

cocaine is a helluva drug

[rairay369]

world moves on a woman's hips

the world moves and it swivels and bop

world moves on a woman's hips

the world moves and it bounces and hops

[TCLYCE]

WOW  MY HEART IS RACING

[ray1bradbury]

Atmospheric in its way but also a great one to dance to - the Talking Heads could do no wrong!

[ceglumeam]

pula

[classof77]

Just blistering bass work from Tina and Busta Jones on this track.

Overall brain-melting concert.

[Soniclife91]

i'm seeing adrian belew tommorow...omgzzzz

[slimturnpike]

I don't think I've ever seen a more clueless cameraman. Great music though.

[mumificirani]

I always listen to this song when I need some energy, it makes me throw my chair and move myself onto this phenomenal rhythm! It's wonderful and none of these newer songs make me so dynamic as this song. Gotta love TH.

[ilMoz23]

tina weymouth is sooooooo chic! just love her.

[al734co]

The best line up ever! What a pity that the director had no idea where the amazing sounds were coming from - hence the random band shots during Adrian Bellew's solos. Anyone have the BBC Old Grey Whistle Test footage with Belew?

[uninoculated]

besides Byrne, the singing in this concert is down right awful. But still, I love these videos.

[reyke]

as david byrne once said "The worse the singer is, the better the music becomes" ;)

[drvector]

It's either Byrne or Belew who is singing out of tune every now and then

[glassbreaker5791]

doesn't matter in the slightest bit though.

[drvector]

that's right :)

[sensi35]

nice lovethis song the name of this band is talking heads awesome

[loyatemu]

one of my fave TH songs - the updated version of "The name of this band is Talking Heads" is incredible for anyone who hasn't heard it.

The world moves on a womans touch....

[bnmlord]

Thanks a lot ! Belew is so fucking awesome !

[slowandcrystal]

Been listening to this today!Remain in Light...fantastic band...incredible album/song!

[lovelesssometimes]

Ah, Talking Heads. Thanks for the video!

[prfctday]

nice. tyvm!
