​@@paulamiles9559Lucky guy

they are touring right now

not a good performance, contrast that with live sets from 80s

David " doesn't want to":and his college buddies from RISD are not gonna force ir

hey, that's exactly my story too. big up to the brothers who got it....well maybe I appropriated it

i was 17 in the summer of '83. SMS was THE party album that season!

Criminally underrated in the UK

And married

sounds like "burnin down the bridge" :'(

why. whats the bad blood.

@@MustangRed1967 In between Remain in Light and Speaking in Tongues, David dicked around the rest of the band on some song publishing and Tina and Chris turned around and made a huge hit record on their own that eclipsed Talking Heads' previous success. After that, David couldn't push them around anymore and he's a control freak, so the band relationship started to crumble from that point forward.

The thing is, the other three founding members don't have the same musical chops that Byrne has. They often couldn't competently play what he heard in his head. I think that's the main reason this was the last TH set. The "bad blood" is over that fact. Byrne always brought in people like Fripp or Eno to help support his musical vision. The other 3 were punk musicians, and eventually that didn't cut it. Great albums though, and Byrne's last tour was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

@@ChorusArtists um no. The band existed before David, they found him and asked him to join. I suggest you do your research. Every member of Talking Heads is a great musician in their own right. Tina and Chris were listening to and being influenced by jazz, funk, and soul way before David ever came along. Tom Tom Club is an amazing band in its own right. The bad blood at least party came from the fact that other band members weren't being given credit for stuff they clearly collaborated on. The narrative of Talking Heads being purely David's brain child simply isn't true. Oh, and even if the other 3 members were just "punk" musicians, why would that matter? The narrative that punk bands can't play their instruments isn't true either.

Same here, it's good that the band got back together for one night and were on speaking terms. But David and his wife is quite a story. . .

What i really liked the best about Remain in Love, is that besides all the great band stories from the road, Chris talks about how the music was made. Surprisingly, most books i have read about bands and artists don't reveal much about how they made the music. Thanks for all the great music, dance beats, and words, Talking Heads.

@@CarlosPCastaneda what's the story about David and his wife?

@@jessica5497 David at the time was married to Adelle "Bonnie" Lutz. After the ceremony ended, David left her at the afterparty and she was asking Chris where David went. Chris left David a VM to which he later responded to. Long story short, David planned to leave Bonnie after the ceremony saying "It is time to move on. . ."

The band is playing well here and inspired. I am at home watching this and dancing in my living room many years after the event occurred. The audience [face palm]: I guess there was no room to dance and shake their collective booties. Looks like the Talking Heads are performing to a bunch of zoned out zombies ( at least they showed appreciation at the end )

I couldn't agree more!

It takes the band as a whole to pull it off. Each one brings something unique to the table.

You tend to let things slide if you had previous success.

@@Lance37aYeah - look at Fleetwood Mac…

They can work with him, he just has a hard time reciprocating friendship.

@@DouglasOwnbey And the point?

Aye man he's Fae Dumbarton what you expect

Is he singing notes? Sounds more like rapping.

You may be right. Sounds good.

LOL!

all members reunited in Toronto Canada at TIFF last week for the 40th anniversary release of "Stop Making Sense" film. Imax spectacular!! 🖤♠

It was good jerry was sitting in between tina/chris and byrne. A reunion wont happen

@hendrixhead90 Is this what you do? Sit around all day, disagreeing with people over the internet? How unbelievably sad. However, that would explain your love of his highly overrated solo work.

@@billlonee9470 lol but who is criticizing on the Internet is you mate... and don't you expect people to express their opinions too? How Sad. Is not overrated just because you prefer the past, his last work (American utopia) is fantastic, and the subsequent film with Spike Lee, it was wonderful. Just because you feel nostalgia, it doesn't make the present bad... Time passes and nothing is forever. That's It.

@@jessica5497 You're as boring as he is. So incredibly boring. No matter how much you blather on, you'll never be anything but boring. Look at you. So dull and boring. I'm going to call you Solo Byrne from now on, and I will call him Jessica. That's how much you both bore me.

@@jessica5497 I think Byrne has this same line of speech, very forward thinking, but in reality he keeps on playing a bunch of Talking Heads hits with his own private band of hired guns. I don't care for his solo work very much, it's all right but I agree with the OP it's not up to par with Talking Heads, meaning that the rest of the band did bring a lot to the table and it's not just about him. I haven't listened to TH in years, not living in the past, but this still holds true.

Jessica and Bill should get married and make it official.

While I agree they were clearly rusty and not gelling well, I suspect there were also technical issues. Like, Bernie Worrell's timing was all off, and he clearly knows it because you can see him actually *yank* the monitors out of his ears at the start of his keyboard solo. Which is never a good sign.

Really! Chris and Tina seems to be enjoying themselves.

They're just supercool. I've seen this before.

@@mynheerp that's what I thought

The two drummers were out of sync and it snowballed from there. Any musician wants to be somewhere else when that happens.

I thought the same - great song and maybe a keyboard player took too many gins on the night!

Know your facts : Prophet 5 synthesizers are known to go out of tune for many reasons. In fact, everything went well during the rehearsals, but then, thinking they could save energy, an engineer unpluged the synth, making it go out of tune by the time the gig took place. Bernie Worell, one of the very best keyboard players of our time did what he could to make it sound right
