  • Just amazing. Can you tell us what Hallie Gerber is up to these days? And since this was before character gen and motion-capture sensors, did you give her any special instructions (e.g., slow movements better than fast)?

  • We did "Driving Me Backwards" first. I showed her the results then we shot "Baby's on Fire" so she had some idea of what was happening, but I'm glad we didn't have a monitor for her so she wouldn't watch herself.

  • Amazing piece of music (stunning gutiar work by Fripp). Not too sure about the bloke in the funny hat...

  • No, I am fairly certain that Talking Heads will survive the sands of time.

  • ...Fab...N.

  • Thanks for the terrific post...The energy really does flow as depicted by the light...

  • GREAT VIDEO! but too bad Eno's on it like he did in China My China!

  • @dougerber I WOULD SEX WIT HER

  • am i related to hallie gerber? she looks like one of my family.

  • @bbqplatypus318 Eno produced More Songs about Buildings and Food & Fear of Music as well. Where Remain in Light is distinct is in the fact that Eno shared in the actual songwriting. This was concurrent with the Catherine Wheel and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. So, needless to say, Eno and Byrne were working very closely at that time, producing arguably most of the best material they would together. And yes, both have survived over time and will!

  • I didn't look at the "WARNING; LOUD AUDIO TRACK!!!" until I, at 2:38 in the morning, clicked on the video and had the volume on both my computer and the Youtube settings all the way up. xD

  • The fact that this was shot in 1976 is mind boggling. I just love this piece!

  • I can just see a bunch of engineers from that era getting into this. Oh yeah, I'm an engineer from that era. This is awesome!
