MCT:August 24, 2008Well, the only reason I want to see this is cuz of my curiosity with David Byrne.
Ive seen his photo gallery around 2006 and have been slightly "stalking" him (on and off) thru his blogsite. Hehe.. Hes quite an opinionated person, but as far as his talent is conerned.. Well, I like some of his works, although I found his project last 2007 to be a bit too weird even for me.
Perhaps, this concert vid of Talking Heads is something that I would find more suitable to my liking, but then again, maybe not.
Oh well, still have to find a copy of it anyway :P Anybody know where I can get a hold of this? -

A well regarded concert film from The Talking Heads, directed by Jonathan Demme. I like the Talking Heads, but I wouldn?t say I?m a huge fan. I like a bunch of their songs, but I don?t listen to their albums all that often. Their performance here is not bad at all, David Byrne has a lot of energy on stage, and it shows. There?s a pretty simple formula most concert films follow, but this film ignores it. Demme never cuts away to the audience and the audiences cheers are not as audible as they usually are. More importantly he?s able to get the cameras really close to the performance. The concert itself is not entirely conventional, it opens up on a bare stage when Byrne walks out with a boom box and acoustic guitar and does a stripped down solo performance of ?Psycho Killer.? The rest of the band comes on one by one in the following songs and once everyone (including the backup singers, synth/keybord workers, and bongo players) shows up the back screen begins to be illuminated, later Byrne shows up in an oversized suit. I?m not quite prepared to call it a performance for the ages, but this is definitely a really good concert flick.

Besides Woodstock, this is the greatest concert film ever made. If you're not a Talking Heads fan, you will be after watching this.

sometimes concert movies can be a little slow. but david byrne is a visual artist as well as musician & songwriter, so he hired twyla tharp to choreograph the show. it opens with just david bryne his jambox and an acoustic guitar, and ends with 13 musicians on stage. triumphant!

This movie, in a word, is awesome. Simply awesome. Just see it already, and if you already have, see it again. David Byrne and the Talking Heads forever!

The Talking Heads in Concert. "One of the greatest rock movies ever made." according to Leonard Maltin. David Bryne plotted out this rock concert that begins small with a bare stage--just him, his guitar and a boom box. With every song something else is added including band members and instruments until finally there's a full stage. Watching this was so much fun--I want a copy of it!!! And I want a copy of the CD. Great stuff!!!

Well deserves its reputation as the best concert movie of all time. Arresting both musically and visually - very energetic performances as well!

The movie lags in a couple spots. And, cutting the songs they did from the theatrical release was correct for the flow of the film. The staging and the adding of musicians with each song is genius!

You don't need to know a single Talking Heads song to enjoy this. It's more than a concert, it's a reinvention of the rock stage show.

This is amazing. Talking Heads are a super band & Demme is the director of my favourite movie ever -- the combination was always going to be good.
