David is glowing that weird shade either because this guy's camera is so crappy or the light was reflecting oddly off his BALD HEAD. I was there and saw an usher remind him that recording was not allowed. He was probably watching it on the way home while driving and talking on his cell phone.

LOL. You must have me confused with somebody else...an usher never approached me! I don't quite understand your comment and your choice to take a stab at me.

I am still not sure why I didn't go see him last summer.

we were just there too, wasn't it amazing?!!!. Never saw or will see anything like it again in my lifetime I think

The dancing is mostly random and unrelated, although not distracting.  A couple of times in the show it appears to match the music, and have something to say on its own, or at least complements the music...a good example is on Life is Long.

The dancing is whimsical,however the ladies themselves are GORGEOUS!! Strand Theater,York PA 2008. Overall rating:MUST SEE

Believe me it's radical

Is this billed as "Byrne performing the songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno"? I'm seeing it at Radio City.

[Senoreswanky]

Noooooooooo you beat my Jurrasic Park 4 hits count!!

I'm seeing the show in London next year. I'm a bit worried about the dancing thing - does it really work? The only other time I've seen a frontman backed by dancers was hysterical and my boyfriend and I couldn't stop giggling, especially if we caught one another's eye. It wouldn't be so bad but I'm in the front row centre stage...
