Unlike most music, I have absolutely no problem picking out the bass part here. I can't tell if this is because 1. At the soundboard, the bass line is mixed as one of the louder parts in the band or 2. Tina is sexy as hell, and happens to be playing bass.
@bluescarlet11 #1 Most of their songs are built around a bass line and a catch, so the bass line is always prominent in the mix. They were all visual artists first; they made songs like paintings. The bass line and the catch were like a sketch, and then layers were painted over it. You can hear this in the evolution of versions of songs. #2 Yeah, she is.
This song is going on my Apocolypse mix tape along with Miami 2017 by Billy Joel. If I'm lucky enough to survive a pandemic, zombies, roaming gangs of brigands, or the U.S. military, these songs and many more will be on my personal "End of the World" musical compilation.
No words enough to say how much important the Talking Heads were (and still are). Seen lots of Byrne solo concerts, and let me tell you, they were as superb as this one surely was.
The people who dislike this are the ones who are also responsible for the puerile predigested pap that passes for pop these days. You know, people with no sense of creativity or imagination who are unable to think for themselves.
That Byrne character is one odd duck as apparent in these "white man shouldn't dance" displays. On a more positive note I wish to acknowledge his fine contributions to the rock music catalogs.
TODAY is MY BIRTHDAY! for my BIRTHDAY I ask that YOU search SNAPSHOT BOYS so we can reach the 3000th mark FOR my birthday PLEASE & THANK YOU !! #PEACE
i need a time machine! Good music started after WWII and just seemed to end in the early 90's...wheres the creativity nowadays?? If it weren't for Lady Gaga we'd have nothing today!!
I love what David Byrne is doing with his body, floating around like a wave is running throughout his body. That is so much fun to do and it looks so mezmirising when it's being done... almost hypnotic!
what a horrible tyrant david byrne is - he ain't no david bowie or bryan ferry - he should stick to the enos of this world ..........but what a fantastic song - and my favourite drum roll ever.............
Nice example of what's missing from music these days: talented, creative musicians with artistic vision. I've literally seen 1000's of bands in concert, from Elvis Presley to Nine Inch Nails, but I'm sad that I never had the chance to see the Heads. Fucking awesome.
I was in elementry school when my mother used to drive me to school we would listen to this everyday. now 2011 I am rediscovering this awesome record now. The best part of this is the songs have some meaning to it today
That is one cool ass nerd.... David Byrnes makes me smile when I watch him perform.... I was born in late 89' so I never got a chance to hear them growing up. I won't lie, I've only started to listen to them just recently, And i'm better for it. Their music brighting my day every time I hear it now, I love finding "new" Bands from before my time.
I saw them live when this was the tour.. Loved it them and still love it. If you don't start moving watching this you have no soul.. Lady GaGA this she is an artist what a laugh when you Bryne and company.........
@FullmoonPB yes I'm sure on the Sand in The Vaseline album he talks of his dislike of drugs how they made him paranoid and such I can't remember properly but I am quite sure it's true
heeeeelllllllllllllllll noo. I would give my right nut to be with tina back then. A hot chick that plays a mean bass for one of the most innovative bands ever. Does it get any better? nope
Love the song, great for a live perf. Gotta say it: dancing at the beginning is slightly reminisent of Peewee Herman - except David Byrne makes it look good. Wish I could move like that!
pretty slick especially for live. heard this first in 7th grade. One of my go-to songs. Too bad my speakers and my headphones don't let me play this as loud as it should be played.
it is rather comforting that this comes up when you search my channel name 'iamthepeanutbutter' :)
