David Byrne w/ Arcade Fire - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)

[watchstrap1]

love davids stan laurel dance

[bethanywhitebear]

@nightcrawler796 it's david, what do you expect?

[nightcrawler796]

I like Arcade Fire and all, but WTF?

David's volume is louder than all four of the other guys combined.

[jesuslovested]

@nightcrawler796 maybe it's because they're singing the harmony with byrne...

[The4thGuy]

I wish this badass brought his lamp.

[ryanlk4960]

miles fisher's version is better. i like the original but in my opinion i like miles fisher better, so no trolling my comment.

[ryanlk4960]

miles fisher's version is better

[TBey88]

This is epic..

[walterbrob]

i cant believe someone doesnt have a good copy of this.......

[tamara23232305]

i think is awesome that new good bands like AF play with music legends that in this time are getting a little forgetten by young people..

[timleery]

this touched me

[yannoche]

This Byrne has some cool moves !

[jetershomie]

Chick is killin it on the Steel Drum. Rad

[CylonCenturion]

Thanks uploader for sharing!!! Not being there leaves me feeling a little sad.

[soyunpreditor50]

MATHS!

[somzinc]

sweet combo, minus the woo hoos of course lol Great version

[EscapePlatosCave]

DB still got some impressive dance moves too

[Bobgoggles]

One of my favorite songs ever sung by my favorite band of all time.. how does it get any better?

[ayoyoe99]

So Heaven on heart exist! Thank you!

[IDontKnowCorp]

@ayoyoe99 I think this is a misspelling, and i think it matches the mood better than it would have had you spelled it right

[strummerocks]

Fucking A +

[TheOpuzenac]

thanks for this video

[markdksc]

God this song always makes me cry a little.

[weaselidiotu]

a lamp would have come in very useful here...

[steaminsteveh]

@weaselidiotu "STOP MAKING SENSE" :O

[weaselidiotu]

this is more like it :D

[RnDnproductions]

@MrColdplaysucks awesome.

[GPMRnDn]

still sing just as good as he did 20 years ago.

[antebellum]

Pretty awesome. I like Arcade Fire, but I just love David Byrne so goddamn much.

[strummerocks]

@MrColdplaysucks My Chemistry teacher was't

[allforyouz]

@strummerocks My English Teacher tried to get in but the scalper he bought tickets off of sold him fakes. Scum.

[redifreddy14]

only a band a versatile as A/F could do justice ..to the master... there are so many similarities to Talking Heads by this incredible band.....must make David feel proud that this group has caught the torch, and have developed unique sounds Much as T/H's did 30 years ago....5 stars

[pinkydisco81]

I really dig how a new band, like Arcade Fire, are hooking up with one of music's greatest innovator's, David Byrne. Absolutely breath-taking.

[xBillyTheKidx]

@pinkydisco81 they did this with The Boss, too. unreal. i wish i saw it in person.

[pinkydisco81]

@xBillyTheKidx That would have been badass! Where was this? Bonnaroo?

[rainydaywomen024]

Wish i was there!

[cwhig]

Hey, the sound quality is really pretty good, thanks for posting.  Regine rocks on steel drum!

[TristeroRises]

@DoctorSapperstein, sounds like you have no idea who Arcade Fire is.

[djprecio]

Awful video quality. Great song.

[surfercrow]

Great song, great voice (Byrne) but when he leaves it to the kids in this band, it falls flat. SING!

[TheDeancorleone]

i used to busk this song never as good as the talented mr byrne

[DoctorSapperstein]

this sucks

why does byrne sellout like this?

to try to be relevant and sell music to all these shit head 20-30 something hipsters who don't know this music

big disappointment

pissing on his masterpiece out of ego

[cacobibliodaks]

@DoctorSapperstein maybe he does respect them, I'm sure no doesn't need to do it for the money, and Arcade Fire.. well I love the lyrics, you probably haven't heard them, and the music is good also, he must feel there is some kind of musical kinship

[whereurchips]

@DoctorSapperstein  Ever think that maybe he just likes The Arcade Fire...freaking jackass

[manbearwolflion]

@DoctorSapperstein Arcade fire are a very good band... and IN FACT most 20-30 something hipsters havent heard of them

so go fuck yourself

[dullath]

@manbearwolflion you ever had a grammar class, kiddo? arcade fire is a band. band is singular. uh uh duh huh huh .......half-witted pinhead.

[manbearwolflion]

@dullath hahaha

Wow man you must be an intellectual!!!

correcting grammar!!

wow!!!

you must be some dumb fuck seeing as you cant see past a spelling mistake

and read whats actually there.

resorting to correcting grammar rather than continuing a discussion... have nothing better to say?

[dullath]

@manbearwolflion

dear sir/madam,

my grand apology for the correction.  you have apparently embraced your solecism and who am i to attempt to enlighten you about rhetoric.

as far as continuing the discussion..... WHAT DISCUSSION? i must be the pinhead here. you simply made a puerile comment. there IS no discussion. i am embarrassed this blather is on the same page as one the finest musicians ever. EVOLVE.

[dullath]

@manbearwolflion oh, yes, and creative as well, aren't you? 'dumb fuck' is cutting edge.

and now,

why don't you go outside and play a nice little game of hide and go fuck yourself.

baaahhhh hhaaaaa hhaaaa

[manbearwolflion]

@dullath I honestly pity you. Good luck.

[dullath]

@manbearwolflion the dry-cleaners called and said your car is ready.

[funny0000000]

@DoctorSapperstein I do not like Arcade Fire to be honest but I am 35 and I have listened to Talking Heads since I was 8 years old back 1982 because I remember waiting for Speaking In Tongues to come out in 1983.

So I really resent your comment about 20-30 something hipsters.

Music transcends age. I listen to all sorts of stuff from the 1950's to 2010 music. Yes Talking Heads are in my top three favorites. You should try to be as open minded as musical genius David Byrne is.

[Zanneran]

@DoctorSapperstein never for money. always for love. cover up and say goodnight!

[amarajabara]

byrnes voice hasnt changed much in 40 years

[jewoven77]

the heads are too cool! and so is arcade fire.

[jeffgreensquared]

Ok, I like Arcade Fire just fine, but why do they get to play with all my musical heroes? Maybe it's just David Byrne and David Bowie but I'm starting to get pretty envious

[cheapxchampagne]

I have one question: why weren't they dancing a little ditty with him at the end or at all in general, lol? I felt as if he were looking over at them so much to do something more than just stand there and bob their heads haha

[wellingtonwidebrow]

Probably too cool to get lost in the music

[onebobtwo]

mr. byrne

has got it

going on!

[joegar317]

The guys from Arcade Fire sure look uncomfortable without instruments in their hands.

[pathoplastic]

their bodies are a cage that keep them from dancing with the one they love...

[therealsoulproduct]

Ah yes, the master showing the apprentices how it's done.

[girlgo]

I was at this show. It was absolutely amazing. David Bryne sounded exellent and had so much energy through out the whole show.

[hirondellehappy]

Interesting, and I had'nt noticed... What strikes me, on the other hand, is how alive Byrne appears on stage, compared to the cluster of younger guys standing stiffly (and I presume, singing, next to him). He hasn't lost that zing for whimsical movement that made him so different from the other male singers. I hope I can still be that alive as I get older!

[asaturn]

wooooooooooo.

[ss40lv]

are you kidding me

[GrooveLeg]

i love all the endorsements that AF get from alt. rock legends. eno, springsteen, byrne... so cool.

[nubbs]

bowie, elton john, etc

[joegar317]

You're retarded.

[ango67]

david byrne a genius and one cool muder fuker

[xBillyTheKidx]

@ango67 completely true.

[trackmaster212]

gah i've watched this video over a hundred times ... thanks for posting !

[loudandrelentless]

One of my favourite songs from Talking Heads...and a great performance!

[omclawnchair]

Clearly David Byrne does not agree with you

[inatreefort]

its great, i love both these bands, but Byrne's voice just dwarfs all others here. in volume that is.... hahaha

[weednap7]

so unreal: prophet is byrne.

''z 6 & Rumpelstilzchen hatte doch Recht say good bye

[AcridPeter]

Yeah, this is David Byrne's band isn't it, which is why the arrangement is interesting. Arcade Fire's attempt is total pants.

[nplanet1]

no, it's arcade fires arrangement

[AcridPeter]

It's really not. Check any of DBs live videos doing this song.

[minga2806]

we are AF on the left side and on the right side a lonely dancing DB with a lot of place and fun too...

[frenchkids]

the guys look lost without instruments in their hands

[hamdigidy]

it's always great to see artists collaborating, especially two timeless artists like these.

[steviemoran12]

My favourite song of all time, sung by the original singer and with one of the best bands of this century accompanying him...yeah I'm quite happy about that.

[ShockedSoShocked]

The violins are beautiful.

[dermotoblong]

you can hear the byrne influence in their music (and butlers voice)

[joeltietzer]

talk about sweet. encore.

[newwavepony]

man, whoever is making those weird sounds in the audience needs to stfu

[OdinofWei]

More musical greats should pair up more often like this.

[lalalasamburg]

This sounds awesome!

At 10 seconds it sounds like Elmo's in the audience! hahah

[nikorble2]

Love this video, id like to hear a studio version of Arcade Fire with Byrne playing this beatiful song

with that comment of Elmo in the audience I laughed my ass off

[stevebarry]

easily one of the greatest to youtube....nice work...pity about the whoos etc. during it...but otherwise great audio.

[sonvolt77]

In my view this is one the greatest songs ever written. AF do it justice which says alot bout them as a band.

[incsuch311]

I love this

[jennyhaze]

Dancin it up big style, eh Richard?

[numsii]

Amazing... thank you, this merges my worlds

[S2w0]

couldn't agree more!

[mookie2637]

I love the way he's standing there, and they're standing apart from him looking nervously at him...

[TangerineNZ]

Don't be so rude salmorgenstern, atleast he taped it to share with the world. Dickhead.

[fratsdomino]

this sounds amazing

[jennapoofers]

i was there. and yes. it was insanely awesome.

[hohothedarwf]

feeling it, that look like it would of been awesome to be there...
