This is the greatest concert movie ever.
It's just the concert, beautifully filmed and no backstage nonsense.
You will not fall asleep, like most. (looking at you, Jimmy Page's cello bow... lol)
Entertaining from beginning to end.
I'm gonna have to check it out! Thank you!

If you ever get the chance to watch Zappa's The ROXY Movie, check that out too.
The famous concerts at Hollywood's ROXY theater from Dec. 1973.
It took until 2015 to release it because the audio didn't sync up with the video.
It took 40 years for technology to come along that allowed those who produced it to get it to finally work.
You've listened to enough Frank to know that the band with Ruth Underwood on percussion was a great lineup. That's what's in store for you if you ever get the opportunity.

It’s an overused phrase on reaction videos but: Tina Weymouth is seriously one of the *most underrated* musicians ever.
Tina Weymouth is a top tier bassist. She knows how to lay down the groove. You just need to watch this entire immaculate concert.
Tina is such a badass
Stop Making Sense is, together with The Band's The Last Waltz, in a complete league of their own when it comes to concert movies!
Agreed!!!
I am not a huge Talking Heads fan but this concert film is Amazing
I really wish I had seen them live back in the day .
One of the best concert films ever. Make a bowl of popcorn and watch the whole thing.
It's awesome and I know many who weren't even TH fans who loved it.
I believe 'Stop Making Sense' has just been re-released in 4K for it's 40th anniversary.
These guys are one of the rare bands where you're just as well off, if not better off, watching live performances or even official videos. The visuals are part of the package...a big part.
The whole "Stop Making Sense" concert on video is so unusual yet so cool. Worth a viewing by far. David Byrne is definite a unique talent.
Yes, their cardio must have been through the roof, lol
I can't imagine how many calories they were burning lol kinda crazy 😜
David Byrne, fun, running around in his bare feet! 🙂
Oh man love what you're saying...
63yr old Aussie woman here, born & grew up in Sydney NSW - teenager in 70's - Independent single adult in 80's. So many times when I listen to what younger Gens are on about, what pisses them off & how angry & closed their viewpoints are... I'm aghast at how self centred they are, how wound up they get over what "Other" people do/think/ believe 😱 We just weren't like that in the 70's & 80's (in particular) we enjoyed people, music in particular for what it was & embraced whatever was good wherever & whoever it came from 🌏😁✌🏼
"Stop Making Sense" isn't a video, it's one helluva concert movie. That energy level is sustained all the way through, although it ebbs and flows. You should absolutely take it in, it's well worth your time. David Byrne is on the spectrum, and it shows. Fabulous band.
Leave it to art students. All four "heads" were former art students. John Lennon was also a former art student. And McCartney studied art. And the three Germans who were with the Beatles in Hamburg were Avant guard art students (existentialists)
And Pete Townshend was also an "Art Student". In the very early 1960s, art offered a less defined area then most other subjects, more room for creative possibility.
They were students at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design). David Byrne and Chris Frantz, who was dating Tina at the time, had a band in college called the Artistics. After school they moved to NYC to form a new band, but they needed a bassist. Chris suggested Tina, but David, who wrote all the songs, was very sceptical, and made her audition several times. Chris and Tina eventually married. When David Byrne disbanded the band, the others carried on as the Shrunken Heads, and even released an album called No Talking, Just Head as the Heads. But Byrne filed suit against them to prevent them from using the name. So, while they had a little success as the TomTom Club (who play a couple of songs during the movie), they basically stopped playing altogether. David says he now regrets his choices, but I'm pretty sure Tina still holds a grudge.
Guess you know this, but apart from maybe "studying" art on his free time, McCartney never studied art at any school👍
Pure energy, maybe chemically enhanced, maybe not. Regardless people cared more, it seems. Hopefully young people will bring it back. My generation, baby boomers need to remember kindness and ❤️
Art is universal. It's the one thing that brings us all together. But only the good stuff 😀 it's facisnating to know this though thank you lol
One of the best live performances I have ever seen. The energy that pours off the musicians is infectious. From the opening track "Psycho killer" with David Byrne alone on stage with ghetto blaster, through the setting up of platforms for drummer & the rest of the band, to it's awesome conclusion make "Stop Making Sense" a Must to see.
David Byrne is a genius. We need a reunion and a few more albums.
One of the great concert films of all time. Directed by Jonathan Demme, who went on to direct Silence of the Lambs. Psycho Killer indeed.
Oh man now you are cooking. This is an excerpt from possibly the greatest concert film of all time and arguably the best track at the peak of the performance. If you don’t know Talking heads then you may want to listen to a few more tracks on the channel first but at some point as a music lover you have to watch the whole concert film ‘Stop Making Sense’ end to end. This was a band where at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s there was no point having seats in the concert venue because absolutely no one would sit in them. People were all dancing themselves into a puddle of sweat.
I agree with you about the film. And Lee, you definitely need to see it all from the beginning.
Each Talking Heads album is unique in its style and sound, but this film really should be watched in order. You'll understand why when you watch it.
Talking Heads, Ska and Reggae were the lifeblood of many of my college dance parties way back when.
you're not old; I turn 70 next month and except for my knees, I don't feel it.
im 55 as of today and i feel every minute of it..
i envy whatever DNA youre working with LOL
You only have a few years on me so I can relate. Btw knee replacement has got me shooting hoops with my grandson again so don't put up with the pain
@@ripvanwinkle2002 66 and feel that plus some!
@@babylonsister118 love the user name.
i assume an SD fan?
@@ripvanwinkle2002 Hell yeah! Love my Dan!
That entire Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" concert film is exceptional. Directed by the great filmmaker Jonathan Demme.
David Byrne is 71 and still doing this!
Awesome movie. Awesome band. They are in my Top 10. I hope this excerpt interests you enough to watch the whole thing, Tina Weymouth is incredible
The energy at these shows was unbelievable
Had the distinct pleasure of seeing Talking Heads about one month before they recorded this concert film, so basically the same show. It turned me into a permafan of Bassist Tina Weymouth, she is the wife of Drummer Chris Franz, and with David Byrne and Jerry Hairston were the original members of Heads. "Stop Making Sense" is a GREAT concert film, and deserves all the accolades it gets. Bernie Worrel, upper left of the stage, has been with many, many bands through the years, including P-Funk and James Brown. Awesome show.
Oh, Bernie...so so good.
David Byrne has had quite the career. He's very,, very, very unique and insanely talented.
BE A GOOD HUMAN! We Will Make It! This Rock band is legendary.
50's to 90's BEST MUSIC EVER!!!!😎😎😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The Remain in Light album is a masterpiece. Speaking in Tongues is too.
RIL one of my all time albums that never gets old.
The 70s was a great time for music. The 80s was such a fun time for music. Very different; both fantastic.
Best Concert film ever ..... They keep the energy up for and hour and a half. Some of my favorat music. It is about life after the start of a new civil war in America. This was the touring band with added members for the core 4. I saw them very early on at the Mudd Club (Mentioned in the song) in a room with around 100 people.
One of the greatest concert films ever made.
Byrne is unto himself. Still like that. Stop Making Sense!
Stop Making Sense is quite possibly the best concert film ever done. Well worth watching.
This show starts with just David B playing an acoustic, they add band members in pieces from there... If you're gonna do all of it, probably best done in order.
Love this version of the song!
Two greatest live concert films ever? The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense. Discuss.
The 70's was better musically overall (best decade of music in history ever) but the 80's was just so damn much fun!
"stop making sense", from "psycho killer" through to "take me to the river", it's a great concert film
...the original album this track was on is called "remain in light", and it's a quiet gem with several hundred (but not quite a thousand) laps of ride-along in my silly lifetime clicker.
... "the great curve" is a track I'd shared with a friend just last week: "the world moves on a woman's hips" and "a world of light, she's gonna open our eyes up"
Thank you for working with this track and sharing it with us.
It's so close an old friend it's likely a cousin by now.
Be well, smilin', and shiny.
I so clearly remember when this concert film came out. I was in college and went to see it with some friends. The theater was packed with mostly students and everyone absolutely loved it. It was like you were there at the actual concert. Talking Heads were the quintessential college art rock band, along with REM. There were lots of other things going on back then, musically, New Wave, post-punk, synth rock and pop, Brit pop, early hip hop, R&B, heavy metal, hair bands, a bit of a folk revival, a ska revival, industrial rock, rock-classical fusion, jazz rock, Euro pop, Caribbean, world music, the works. If there wasn't something for you then there was something wrong with you.
But Talking Heads, along with a few other bands, basically dominated the decade.
Slot of members in Talking Heads were ARTS STUDENTS!!!😎😎😎😎😎
You’re right about the diversity. When I arrived to see this live, I was surprised to see so many black people there to see my nerdy white band. It was great. I didn’t realize how broad their appeal was. I had a great time. I’m glad it was captured on film so everyone can enjoy it still. Definitely one of the best bands I’ve seen live.
True, natural diversity and cultures coming together is beautiful. Now everyone is either THIS or THAT. No nuance at all. We've lost critical thinking skills and a sense of community amongst everyone. But it's all artificial lies meant to divide and conquer. We're all the same. We're stronger together. "THEY" know that. That's what scares them the most. People actually coming together and fighting back against this artifical, forced bullshit. I've seen some CRAZY shit said in my life but the past couple years have absolutely shattered any hope I have for saving society. The absolute disregard for some people is crazy to me. And it's all out in the open now. Sorry for the novel you just inspired me lol
@@L33Reacts Have ever heard ‘One’ by Creed. Touches on those ideas.
I wouldn't say this was pure 80's. It's timeless.
Just one of the best things ever. The whole concert film. It's perfect.
This album helped to make early 80's dance parties awfully fun. : - )
When you spend the entire choreography budget on cocaine.
Directed by the late great Johnathan Demme who also won an Oscar for directing The Silence of the Lambs
"The energy". Theyre just getting warmed up. Best concert I've ever attended. Phenomenal. "Crosseyed and Painless" is a song I'd have to seriously consider a one song deserted island deal. The version from this album. Its a romp. This movie is a must see for L33. The concert set me on a new path in '83. I went to see them only knowing this single, and left the show knowing i was several albums late to a great party.
I saw them in October 83 I think. Tina the bass player was 9 months pregnant, whenever that was. They were so good live. Jason and the Nashville Scorchers opened for them, Jason wearing a red Devil costume and a cowboy hat and a cape. Once of the best shows I ever saw. The Talking Heads are one of the Great Bands, if you ask me.
The band that killed disco while still keeping the beat so we still could keep dancing the '80's away.
Finally someone reacts to my favorite artists of All time!! Thank you so much!
David Byrne a performing artist. It’s not just music, but he plans out the visuals and everything. It’s high art. And great music.
"Stop making sense", simply the most fun concert you will ever see. Pick any song from this, it is a masterpiece!
What more to add? So Entertaining band! The 80’s were combination of 70’s musicality and Rythme decade!!
Hands down best concert film ever and Tina has been one of the most underrated bassists ever
This is from arguable the best concert movie ever.
What a freaking amazing band. That was one of the best concert films ever with an appropriately great soundtrack. My wife and I were in college then and played Talking Heads in the car religiously, along with what came to be known as classic rock. We still do.
all stop making sense is incredible - one of the best live show of all time
Watch the whole movie offline. You won't be disappointed.
Yea we had the good music and the good drugs ! LOL So glad you watch and get our music.
So glad you stated you thoughts on everyone getting along "my state of mind as well" and music is a barrier breaker and the language of all. . . As the Great John Lennon Im my opinion wrote Imagine the best sing ever written. I still imagine and im not the only one, so glad to know youre on that page my young friend ! Ty for the review and enjoy more music. . .
I was in my 20's back in the 80's, and it was very fun decade.
You need to watch the whole concert movie, it starts out with him on stage with a radio, the crew added all that equipment as he sings abd the band is added ...great concert video!!
CBGB!! Burning down the house is their biggest hit!
Watch the opening scene, where he sings "Psycho Killer" with an acoustic guitar, and a tape recorder, same energy, same fun, haha.
What a fabulous band they were. Do a deep dive into these guys. Worth it.
THE BEST- concert I ever attended. From the first downbeat until the last note, we (the entire crowd) were on our feet dancing in the aisles.
David Byrne did an amazing show with just as much energy and diversity until Covid shut it down. At 70 years old 👏👏👏👏 There is a film
I got to see them on this tour in Berkeley, outside under the stars and the whole audience stayed standing and dancing. So fun!❤
I wasn’t at this specific show, I did see them on this tour in Pittsburgh, PA. A dear friend of mine was celebrating her birthday and a mutual friend, whose mother worked for the venue, arranged for us to be seated in the orchestra pit!! What A Night!!!
Ahhhh the genius and beauty, energy of David Byrne and especially, Stop Making Sense!!
IMO, Tina is one of the greatest bass players ever. She's in my top 10 of bass players.
The Stop Making Sense concert movie is fantastic, and each video from the concert is so much fun to watch. Every Talking Heads fan, who watches your channel, will love and watch any reaction you make to a song (video) from the Stop Making Sense movie.
Talking Heads are one of the greatest bands ever, IMO, and I can listen to their music any time of day or night, just like with Yes, Rush and Radiohead, three of my favorites. ❤✌
Without question, this was the most fun concert I ever went to! It was a big TH fan from their beginning and this was the culmination. Then, a year later came the word that Jonathan Demme had made a film from the tour and if get to experience it again and forever (now it's 40 years later!)
You should watch the whole film some time. It's just so creative and different how they combined music with visual elements and stage transitions.
SAW THEM LIVE!! AWESOME..AND THIS IS MY FAVE SONG!!!
PSYCHO
TAKE ME TO THE RIVER👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
THE SWAMP
MY
I never tire watching and listening to this video/song.
Jonathan Demme directed this film…he did an incredible job in his approach to filmmaking. The editing, the photography, all of it. Sublime.
Saw them touring behind the "77" album - awesome!
Genius is in the house......
Performance art at its absolute best!!!
I always wished that there was a David Byrne School Of Dance.
🤣✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Best concert movie, ever!
The original song was on their 1979 album 'Fear of music', this performance was in 1984.
The whole album "Stop making sense" makes sense today...
Check out the song "And She Was" and the official video....Byrne wrote it about an acid trip.
David Byrne and the whole band are just so good and so bizarre. Great film is Stop Making Sense.
Watch the whole concert film. It’s an amazing show.
you have to watch the whole film in one sitting at some point. it's a whole piece of art.
IT WAS A GREAT TIME THATS FOR SURE!!!!!
directed by the same guy who directed Silence of the Lambs..... Jonathan Demme.
Saw this in a small town cinema in the UK, around '84. 10 mins in, the auditorium seats were empty - every one up and dancing! Great show, great music, fun times!
Great concert movie. Definitely worth watching. The energy is extremely high throughout. Strange thing is that even though this tour was so damn good, the band never toured again, even though they went on to much greater chart success later in the 80s with hits like "Road To Nowhere" and "And She Was". I don't think they liked each other much offstage.....
They filmed I think three nights, and moved the cameras each time. So we hear the best performance of each song but sometimes you’re seeing the action from a different night.
If you watch the whole thing at times you’ll see Chris Frantz holding a small box by his ear to make sure the tempos remained steady so they could do that sort of visual composite. He probably just wanted to be sure as the man’s beat is steady.
Tina Weymouth also had a side project called the Tom Tom Club, which had a hit or two. Adrian Belew (of King Crimson) was a member for a time.
One of my favorites. Also a great concert movie.
So Amazon Prime is streaming free ..Stop Making Sense...and The Bands. The Last Waltz.
You gotta....
That's just pure, quality entertainment. They do that for about two hours. They had to be the most tired band in the world every night.
In a small art town surrounded by water and mountains we were dancing in the streets!! 😍 🤼🤼🤸.
Aside from the energy and endurance, it's a great song and well played and sung. Outstanding!
Such a great band to see live, shame they're gone
I saw the first date of that tour, at Hampton Coliseum. All these years later, that show is still in my top five.
Just got released in 4k & Atmos!! its brilliant! 10/10
B 52's, another quirky 80's band. Check out "Roam." Visually unique, ha! I guess that could be a description. For the first time, there were videos, there was MTV. Music needed to be visual, attract a different sort of audience.
David Byrne, fun, running around in his bare feet 🙂 !
You owe it to yourself to watch this movie start to finish.
This won't get blocked Lee; The Th members are all very smart. Do the whole concert.
