David Byrne sticks up for man dancing at his show in Oxford

David Byrne, stops his band half way through the song, as security tell a man to sit down. David has it out with him, and tells us all to dance if we like! He then had the whole place dancing for the rest of the evening! Nice one David, your the man1

@lissluis yes there is no sitting for heads or b52's for that matter

Let's see them try to keep people down to "Crosseyed and Painless!"

When I saw him at the Wang in Boston the entire theater was on their feet; there was no way the security could have gotten us to sit down even if they tried (which they didn't). I even saw (or smelled, rather) someone light up a joint at one point.

i saw the great man in birmingham england, i started dancing at the second song, it was i zimbra and some dickhead behind me told me to sit down, the cheek, i told him no, david byrnes a hero of mine and ive bin waitin my whole life to see him, im 26, and im dancing my arse off. security moved me to the front of the stage so i had the last laugh and i was right up front dancing the night away. unbelievable why come see david byrne with that attitude.

i saw him twice in massachusetts in winter... The Wang Theatre Halloween, the ushers kept asking everyone to sit down & Calvin theatre in Northhampton mass, same thing.

Both times it was for the beneift of the people "behind me"

Horrible policy... "now everyone sit pretty & dont fidget to the energetic music being played"
