I just discovered Stop Making Sense and I was completely in awe of how brilliant the whole concert was. The energy of David Byrne and his band mates is invigorating. Thank you for posting this clip. I feel vindicated hearing my favorite critics share my feelings for how joyous I felt watching this film.

I saw the opening and closing nights of the four night run at The Pantages Theater the Talking Heads did in 1983 - Tuesday Dec. 13 and Friday Dec. 16. It turns out that the show you see in the film is mainly from the Thursday, Dec. 15 performance. Saw TH a total of seven times from 1978 to 1983. What a great band they were.

According to them, other concerts are by "typically angry and aloof set of musicians" with "the audience being oppressed, like me or I'll throw my guitar in your face" and "a lot of rock concerts are like nazi rallies." I'm a fan of both the Talking Heads, and this movie, but this review is over-the-top stupid.
