ugh, byrne garbage burn!
You must be tons of fun at parties!


See it in IMAX if you can.
Also, the restored film gets wider release this month. See it in IMAX if you can. I hope to anyway.

1st July 1982. What a day that was!
That was a pricey ticket for 1982

I Agree!! On Both counts!! I would also like to add: Guiness Stout, IPA, Clams & oysters on the half shell!!
but not anchovies on your pizza
that wouldn't be so bad
The video of the concert is rated one of the best. Good production values for the time.
I need to watch again. Epic! David Byrne wore me out watching his performance.
David Byrne has worn so thin over the years. My ears don't like him the way they used to. What used to sound "hip" and "prevalent" now sounds whiny and stupid.
Sounds like the years have not been kind to your ears, rather than Mr. Byrne's vocals.
Saw them at the Heatwave Festival northeast of Toronto in August, 1980. Great Show, only no show was Dexy's, not allowed through customs!
I was there too, what a great line up
When I hear it "Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go". I'm scared because I understand the relevance of these words. I think Byrne is a genius. 10 for me, this song will forever be in my heart. Greetings from Ukraine.
Add my best of, most Americans are cheering for you.

I have no words. May peace find you.
Bernie Worell on keys.
Keven on imaginary drums?

Like Frank Zappa.
And olives.
I heard the line "we've got computers" and thought at the time, that would have been a a rarity. Read the lyrics and thought, "what the hell?" I never gave a thought to what this was about, it just sounds great.
In David Bowman's book This Must Be the Place: The Adventures of Talking Heads in the Twentieth Century Byrne is quoted as describing the genesis of the song:
David wrote nine of the album's eleven tracks. Two numbers came out of jamming. The first would be called "Life During Wartime." David's lyrics describe a Walker Percy-ish post-apocalyptic landscape where a revolutionary hides out in a deserted cemetery, surviving on peanut butter. "I wrote this in my loft on Seventh and Avenue A," David later said, "I was thinking about Baader-Meinhof. Patty Hearst. Tompkins Square. This a song about living in Alphabet City."[4]

1st July 1982. What a day that was!
Talking Heads AND the Tom Tom Club... you lucky Bar Steward... must have been a great gig! Wait... +U2, +The Alarm ...?

Love the big suit pic (and the ticket!), too.

Wow - lucky you! I regret never having seen them live. Interesting to see special guest U2!
Vector effect.

1st July 1982. What a day that was!

One of the top 5 shows of my life - Wartime or Peace. (1983 btw)

Genius.

"One of?" Really?
I know that ain't allowed
Come on people. I said this a month ago !!!!
I know that ain't allowed
1 9 8 4 !





That show is still on my top 5 list!!! Bought the t-shirt and wore it proudly

Agree. Love their recorded stuff. Saw a tribute band in a pub once, better than the real guys live? Perhaps I got them on a bad night?
You funny
College memories swirl -
The world is better for david byrne's presence.
maybe they got michael franti live

It's hysterically funny, but also bone-chillingly real. I love this song.
I'm with you.

It amounts to the same thing. If you don't want some action taken, then why post at all?
It's what we do around here.
You're just right, buddy.

Talking Heads is kicked to death on RP... and for those of us who "don't appreciate" them, it gets kinda' repetitive ....
I have a suggestion - You should learn to appreciate them, then your life would be a little sunnier

water flowing underground....once in a lifetime./.....I second that sentiment. The house was jumpin' !!
It was the perfect mix of theater and music.
Watch the movie if you've never seen it.
Original: 10. This gets a 7.
I think it's because they push the chorus so hard in the live version. It makes it sound more like a pop song that way. Watch people at concerts. most of them will sing along with the choruses and either blah-blah the verses or not sing along with them at all. But they can remember that part that repeats over and over.

I remember thinking I'd upload the version from TNOTBITH but a search said they already have it. Unfortunately the track listing for that album links back to this.
I ran into the same problem with alt. takes of Psycho Killer. Hmm.
Original: 10. This gets a 7.
That is funny, I was in college when Fear came out and it was a party tune to us. Maybe we we were just dark, taut, tense, frightening...
I remember seeing this tour, and it still ranks as one of the best shows I have ever seen.

I know these guys were innovative. Tight stuff—absolutely no doubt. Most worthwhile stuff for the RP play list.
But for some funny reason, it just doesn't work for me. I also respect people who cannot stand old favourites of mine: Neil Young, for example, or admittedly bombastic Moody Blues or Yes.
What is it? Context?




Just yesterday, all four band members reunited (imagine this!) at the Toronto International Film Festival for a short Q&A as part of a screening of the newly restored Stop Making Sense movie. Came across this recording of it for anyone interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGq6qIcSaZg
Also, the restored film gets wider release this month. See it in IMAX if you can. I hope to anyway.
Thank You for the info!
