Nice to see David being un front man like and letting the other band members enjoy the spotlight . Respect
Surely a first for him
lol. He's doing them a favor, and they're all just doing it because there are no royalties from streaming, otherwise you would not see David and Tina Weymouth together. What f**k does he care? He's been doing creative projects that gets him press ever since the Heads broke up. What has Tina, Chris and Jerry done? Tina pissed the pool in that band, not David Byrne, and it's because of her they never reunited. If she had been cool - which she never was, she was always impressed with herself from that initial early period, when SHE was the one that got all the attention, not Byrne - the band would have kept going, at least on and off, during the 90s and maybe would even be around today.
Drunk driving kills. Please...never ride drunk. Never take a ride from someone who has been drinking. Thanks! Stay safe.
@@TTM9691 I've had the feeling throughout the years that the other members of the band could have in their later years (after the breakup) been more understanding of David's, what appears to be, natural talent as a musician AND as an entertainer (the latter something they really don't have) and more open to the possibility of reuniting. Which could of course have been beneficial to all EVEN if the money wasn't "equal" but dudeeeee...that's some more vitriol you're throwing out...sure there's gonna be some envy, no doubt, but you damn sure aren't helping the situation. WTF
@@EastmanD First off, it's not "the other members of the band", it's Tina, that's it. It's not Jerry Harrison and it's not Chris Frantz (who got caught in the middle). Secondly, I'm not helping the situation? What alternative reality are you living in, dummy? Yeah, my little comment is really exacerbating the situation, it's all about me,......holy f**k are you sycophantic hor what? Go read about the band, bro! Go read about the crap she pulled for YEARS. She put a big giant wedge between the band and Byrne, she'd be mailing him these long, vitriolic, name-calling letters, and his quote was literally something like "Why would I play in a band with a person who writes me letter after letter calling me a scumbag and the worst person in the world?" She's such a wannabe. I love her! Great bass player! Total asshole. One of the villains of rock. Get the picture? (Now we see!) (hope that reference didn't go sailing over your head)
Seeing these kids all together makes it worth having to listen to Jimmy.
Almost
I was literally thinking the same thing.
He clearly doesn't have the grasp of them, as artists, that Letterman, Colbert or Conan would have, being more than a decade younger than those guys (2 and a half decades in Letterman's case).
Jimmy is a mean guy and unfortunately thinks he’s a gift
I like both.
Nice to see they are on talking terms despite their differences.
David Byrne got that Walt outfit from Ozymandias🔥
This interview makes me appreciate Rick Beato so much more.
Rick is a great interviewer. Jimmy could use a few lessons. He asks dumb questions
Fallon is an absolute moron.
So does David.
i saw them in LA last week at the stop making sense screening
the crowd went nuts, everybody was dancing and singing
the group was cordial in the post film interview. they reminisced about meeting each other in college and how playing at cbgb was the best time they ever had. though when the interview ended, david quickly exited the stage while the other 3 remained to wave at the audience. what a fun night
Same tonight in Brooklyn!
I was there too! Most magical night of my life! 🤩
Bro was probably making a beeline for the bathroom😆
Drunk driving kills. Please...never ride drunk. Never take a ride from someone who has been drinking. Thanks! Stay safe.
Pop music with originality, people playing real instruments live without tracks, a non-conformist attitude, taking musical risks. Awesome. Bring it back.
Just saw the 40th anniversary release of Stop Making Sense in Brooklyn tonight. They did a q&a afterwards. It was an incredible night!
The vibes were immaculate! And the q & a went well also.
2:03 "Take Me To The River" was written by the beautiful soul singer, Al Green.
co-written
Always a fan of Talking Heads and still am.
Same as it ever was
“Fear of Music” was a stroke of genius. It was the first record of “different music” I ever loved. I got the album only because a friend of mine bought it and hated it so much he was going to throw it away. I offered to take it and give it a listen……..and I was blown away!
FOM was the "transition" album. Still some of the quirky pop/new wave of the first 2 albums but with the addition of the African polyrhythms and funk elements that would bloom in full on Remain In Light. "Life During Wartime" got some radio play but "I Zimbra" was the revelation for me.
I think it's their best record...prefer it to Remain in Light...which I obviously love too
@@stuartcarswell2815 I think I do, too. But my fave of theirs is still Talking Heads 77.
So great they've come together again and laughing.
The reason the "Punk" scene was so interesting in the beginning is because the bands did NOT all sound the same. when they say they were not a punk band i mean they were a band BEFORE there was a "Punk Scene" which is far more punk in my opinion. once a scene starts wagon jumpers and gatekeepers come along and by default rules are set, what the sound is what the look is what the attitude is etc... which in this case sort of defeats the whole purpose of whatever that movement was.
pretty much all similar scenes go through the same thing, a SMALL amount of genuinely interesting and creative people come together and a scene begins. before long the scene starts getting some sort of exposure and more people start coming along, and then the people that are not actually very interesting or creative start coming along and taking the scene over. then the interesting creative people that started it begin to move on to the next thing because they are creative and get bored of doing the same old thing. now the people that jump on the band wagon starts calling the people that created the scene posers because they are into something else now. the hypocrisy and ignorance of it all.
Saw ‘Stop Making Sense’ in a movie theater when it was first released - great fun! I regret never having seen the entire band live, but was fortunate to see David Byrne on his “pink tutu” tour. The Talking Heads are amongst the best bands out there and I’ve heard a few. Much love from a huge fan.
He IS the Messiah. I should know. I've followed a few...
Thank You Tonight Show Jimmy Fallon, and all you Talking Heads David, Tina, Chris, Jerry, Peace and Love Y'all
If anyone can ever successfully explain to me how Jimmy Fallon got a job presenting a talk show I'll die happy.
no kidding. he’s horrible
Blackmail
Just watched Stop Making Sense again on Max, and it's even better than I remembered, and I was obsessed with it the first time around. It's pure art❤️👏❤️
Jimmy Fallon struggle so much to interview people stutters a lot had a hard time getting through this video. Love the Talking Heads.
Sobriety is hard, man
David Byrne letting his crew do the talking and taking the limelight. That’s a leader ❤
David Byrne’s limelight couldn’t be stolen even if he said nowt… He’s a legend.
Only because he did the exact opposite for their entire career, and it wouldn't be a great look this many years on. Also probably wouldn't be conducive to everyone doing press together like this.
@@benjaminpetersen1952 Wrong. Tina Weymouth is the one who pissed the pool in this band. You're still clinging to that Rolling Stone article back in '87, huh? Tina was the first to get the spotlight, nobody was complaining she "stole" the spotlight from the others. She was a bitter brat for years, and is the most two-faced person on that stage, smiling and grinning. He's doing them a favor by sitting up there with them. What has Tina and Co. done since the Heads broke up? Nothing. Other than album called "The Heads", which tanked. No one's interested in her "work". (PS: Tom Tom Club was before the Heads broke up, just to nip that one in the bud) Byrne writes books, does stuff with Robert Wilson, on Broadway, he did that wild building/music installation which I can't even describe, he's always doing something creative......give me a break. He EARNED the spotlight.
@@benjaminpetersen1952 take that negativity somewhere else crybaby
@@TTM9691 I won't hear a bad word about Tina. Her bass playing, particularly on Remain in Light and Speaking in Tongues is brilliant - she's always been underrated. Talking Heads was about all four of them, not just David. Bands break up, people are people, who knows what actually went down.
MORE OF THIS!!! Actual interviews and no lame skits.
I could be the most powerful man in the world, Ruler of everything. But whenever I hear "Take Me To the River" , I immediately picture myself in a dorm room in the 70's , passing a 2 ft bong🤭.🤭
Talk about a phenomenal band from the 80s. I got the ultimate pleasure in meeting them a few years ago. It was super awesome
Talking heads are a legendary band so brilliant iconic timeless what a gift to see them all together in the same room! Amazing interview Jimmy.
jimmy fallon is right out of his element in almost every single interview.
No he isn't. He's a music fan and behaves like an enthousiastic kid. No problem!
@@hughnique7717 I prefer interviewers who are more knowledgable than children.
That is so right, here he has a legendary band together and he's totally winging with total inanity and idiotic questions and commentary. Such a waste.
It should always be Conan 👍
@@sethklumb8686 I'd go Letterman first, Conan second and Colbert third. All 3 are plenty knowledgeable about music and the first 2 have introduced many excellent bands to America through their shows.
A blast from the past Classic , loved listening to them in 80s
He neglected to ask the number one question on everyone's minds which is if they'll ever do a show together
They're not allowed to ask that. They've been making the rounds and I feel like another talk show host (Kimmel?? I can't keep it straight) tried to ask and it got awkward lol
I don’t think there’s a single interview with any of the members from the past 30 years were they aren’t asked “Are you guys getting back together?” So I think maybe they finally stopped beating the dead horse.
The others might? But David has made it ridiculously clear he has zero desire to do that or go back and play all those songs again and again with them.
Have you ever noticed that David and Tina are always kept as far away as possible from each other and never talk to each other? There's your answer 😬
@@EmpyreanLightASMR Colbert asked them and it got a bit awkward indeed.
Life During Wartime is great song and that video is amazing!
I've changed my typing so many times now, I don't know what I write like!
Please please please please PLEASE reunite and go on tour!!! PLEASE!!!
That will never happen. Jerry, Chris & Tina still want to strangle David Byrne, who continues to attempt to take credit for everything they did.
We used to play video of Talk Making Sense as music/fun when friends came over. It is the background noise to 80's memories.
Even in front of the greatest band of all time, on such a rare occasion, Jimmy Fallon is completely fucking insufferable.
As early as 1973, critics including Nick Kent and Dave Marsh were using the term "new wave" to classify New York-based groups such as the Velvet Underground and New York Dolls.
😂😂😂trying to sound clever but just repeating something you read somewhere🥾💥🤡
@@mrknobchopps Sorry no, it's in print.
@@mrknobchopps Isn't that the way you actually accrue knowledge of anything? Reading it in books and magazines (if you are my age and there was no internet when you were discovering music) or on the internet or hearing it on radio and TV? No reason to be a douche about it.
Not sure you're right. The term New Wave was mostly used toward the end of the 70s for acts like Elvis Costello, who seemed different and angry, but not really punk.
@@mattsilver2237 The term "new wave" first appeared in music reviews of The Velvet Underground and New York Dolls in the early 1970s. CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, referring to the first show by Television at his club in March 1974, said; "I think of that as the beginning of new wave"
This Must Be The Place
The best song.

It's wonderful to see the four of them together again after so much bitterness and hurt feelings. Most of it caused by Byrne but one thing I've learned is that it's never just one person's fault when things go wrong. And good on Byrne for not trying to hog the spotlight.
DAVID BYRNE,VINO A MI CIUDAD:BUENOS AIRES(🇦🇷✌️).
Y PASEO EN BICI,POR UNA ZONA MUY "PICANTE",Y LA GENTE LO AMÓ!!!.
ESO HACEN,LAS PERSONAS CON EL DON DE LA BONDAD Y EL TALENTO INCONMENSURABLES!!!.
MILLÓN DE GRACIAS,DAVID!!!.
✨️🇦🇷✌️✨️🎶🎙🎹🎸🎷📻🎶🎚🎛🥁🎶
Talking Heads changed my perception of music
His opening question is one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard asked on a talk show. It's a close second to Larry King asking Olivia Harrison about what it felt like to have the song "Something" written about her.
He really is the worst.
Talking Heads, R.E.M., Dire Straits. three tours that need to take place, now 🎶
Thank you for the different GREAT MUSIC !
One of the best of all time.
I understand that they will probably never seriously play again together…. But it would be epic on Fallon’s show if they did Psycho Killer with toy instruments and the Roots!!
One my favorite bands. Started listening to them in the 70’s. 🎉🎉
I will love “Psyco Killer” forever, what an amazing song 🔥 Rock Band 3 had an amazing set list.
I owned a bar for 30 years. I started to hate walking in the door because there were always people waiting to ask me for money, for tabs and anything else . For the last 10 or so years, I began singing, no screaming 'Psycho Killer' on my drive to work. It was perfect. When I opened that door, I was ready.❤
The whole album is amazing
OK. Now how about you use that love to forget about video games for a moment, and actually go out and discover the band's discography?
Yes start with 77
It's funny how when they first came out I didn't like them at all but on a New Year's Eve run of Grateful Dead shows in SF 1985 I went to a showing of Stop Making Sense at a local theater near my hotel...
It totally changed my mind about them and was impressed with the movie as well as falling in love with their music! It was so trippy to me too be there and everyone there was pretty much Deadheads and non-Deadheads dancing together tripping on a movie! I think the reason I was in the theater was the Dead Movie was playing afterwards...🎉🥳💃🕺
💗Talking Heads!!!
Jimmy, please stop talking forever.
A midwest friend of mine ran into David Byrne decades ago in a New York donut shop. He said ro her directly," I like the ones with the sprinkles."
Also, me and my buddies were high schoolers when the movie came out, had to be there. : )
soundtrack of my younger life.
I like the band but I don't think Jimmy is doing the best interview here. Lots of generic comments like he's not watched anything and barely knows anything about them besides a subsurface level 10 minute prep.
I want to thank The Talking Heads for being part of my 1980's teen years while growing up! Thank you, David Byrne! You helped make the 1980's great!
I sat next to David on the subway once and even though we didn’t interact at all, it’s my favorite celebrity sighting in 15 years of living in NYC
I still love their song (Nothing But) Flowers. Quirky and cool.
Tour now please!
The film is better than a tour would be
One of my favourite bands
"Do You Like Music, Do You Play Music, Have You Heard Music!? Not Until You've Experienced Stop Making Sense!"!
❤ the Talking Heads great musicians
How is Fallon still working? He's a nightmare interviewer.😬
saw that movie so many times in the theater (including in the 600-seat theater where I worked which would sell out!!!!) saw the re-release last year- still as exciting and fresh as when it came out! definitely one of my all-time favorites
Saw Stop Making Sense at the NY Film Festival. Have a vivid memory of walking into the basement bar of the fraternity I would join at UW Madison with Psycho Killer blasting on the massive speakers. I was hooked both times.
I will always love David Byrne. I loved the Talking Heads. I also loved when he would introduce world music, like the Afro-Peruvian soul. Great mind.
jimmy fallon knows what new wave is and that the talking heads were new wave.
Now he does!
Yeah how does he know they aren’t punk? He’s not that young.
@@d2d2d28 He thought they WERE punk. Jerry and Chris didn’t completely agree.
@@shawnuel yeah and? He should know better.
@@d2d2d28 everyone is learning something new everyday, a$$hole. Also, this IS a talk show. He could be possibly asking the question on behalf of ppl who don't know the answer.
It's like the Stranger things cast reunion in 50 years
Right. As if anyone will remember Stranger Things in 50 years (let alone 10)...
DO ONE LAST TOUR. I cannot emphasize this enough…..
As much as I want this I'm afraid the ticket prices would be astronomical.
@@darthopper7874 Who cares!!!!! They haven’t toured in 30 years!!!! I’d pull money out of my retirement funds to go see them one last time!!!!
ABBA returned after 40 years to do one final album and a hologram concert via motion-capture. They were previously offered tons of money to reunite. Guns n Roses did the impossible and reunited. Boyzone are reportedly reuniting for a string of concerts and a joint business venture, but possibly not back for good. Twisted Sister has been offered a big chunk of money, Dee Snider has said that the money amount is so big that he can no longer refuse. No reunion has been announced at the moment.
@@DanielThureskog Yeah, would be huge if they toured. I remember that Blondie/Devo tour years back...everyone went. The 80's Gen X kids are 50-60 now, and have cash money to spend on stuff like this. Notice even that "Brat Pack" movie was just made. And will probably do well. These folks (55+) have kids out of the house in college now. many are divorced and want to relive youth. Cash in the bank...the time is right.
There’s something sweet about Byrne taking a backseat.
Fallon is a terrible interviewer. Awkward soft fake laughs. Awkward forced loud laughs. Poor transitions. The lack of prep shows.
Saw the Eugene Oregon show just before the filming November 1983. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Would be nice if Jimmy wouldn't add to the interview, but he does.
We love talking heads and jimmy fallon
Nah just talking heads.
Not really, just Talking Heads.
Jimmy is insufferable. Get real
Cool that David sitting on the end
I always thought David Byrne was a genius in this very odd ball way gotta love the guy along with the entire group
David is so subdued...regardless nice to the folks like this and REM out there talking about the old times, even if they won't (know better) than to play...
We were fortunate enough to see the original tour here in Eugene, Oregon, at a wonderful venue built for sound in the 80's. It was a total LOVE-DRUG Dance-Fest!!! One of the top three shows in my life. I don't think anyone sat at all that night. 😁😎🤩
Saw them at some downtown venue in Eugene in '78. Seems like it was some kind of bar/restaurant. Not much capacity and not that many people were there. So few, in fact, that it was sort of uncomfortable. They were just starting to get noticed. Anyway, it's all a blur...that was 46 years ago.
@@user-td7dh4fm3g I can't remember the name of that place..The Place? Anyways, I saw Patti Smith there also. Even saw Dave Brubeck there. Very small and oblong. Sound like the same place? Didn't see Talking Heads there...I saw them at the Hult Center. Wasn't built yet in '78, I think.
@@user-td7dh4fm3g I searched it, and it WAS The Place! September 10th, 1978.talkingheadsconcerthistory.blogspot.com/2012/11/1978.html
Naive melody is my favorite song by them.
At least the outstanding backing vocalists Lynn and Ednah were mentioned, but not the legendary Bernie Worrell.
The great cover version by T H's, "Take Me To the River" is an Al Green song, no one disclosed that.
The David Byrne interview on Conan’s podcast was 100x better.
Well, naturally. David didn't have to share the spotlight with "the other three" that time, and Conan is a great host, unlike some others...
Does anybody tell Jimmy that he’s cringe about 99% of the time?
Awesome album and performance... I thought learning the first few songs was ok, when War in Lifetime 9.42 hit me I learnt the entire song watching the movie. Learning Talking Heads musically is essential.. 🙏🤘🇦🇺
Tina looks so good
It’s nice they all answer the questions when we know it was all David
🙏 To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏♥️😊
Ah, a masochist. Don't you know that the worst thing you can do on social media is to give strangers messages of love in exchange for upvotes?
It's a cheap tactic. You should be ashamed.
David swore he would never do music with them again. To this day he has kept his word.
I have never heard (or not heard) such a dead audience. They did not know how honored they were to see these four live. That just does not happen anymore.
Great guests
the best version of life during wartime is their r&r hall of fame ceremony
Will Talking heads give a new generation of Talking heads fans see them play live 🙏🙏
Nice to see inspiration from king crimson.
If I was Jimmy Fallon I’d simply pass out in that seat
Shhh might be coming soon 😮
I bet it was heavily discussed how much Byrne had to be the furthest away. Byrne was the genius leader of the pettiest band in the world if you do your research.
and he was an asshole too like have you done your homework if they can't get along it's because of him
@@mayias It's more likely a little bit of both. And Byrne wasn't an asshole so much as a guy with high functioning autism (Asperger's) who took a long while to start working on interpersonal relationships. Asperger's sufferers often have hyper-focus on what they are good at and eschew most everything else. You can see an evolution even in his interviews over the years as early spots with Letterman or Kurt Loder were often awkward, while these days, He can be seen looking very comfortable, yukking it up with Colbert of Kimmel when he does solo interviews.
@@shawnueland it’s a shame Tina and Chris can’t take his autism more into account
@@shawnuel I have Aspergers but I would never use it as an excuse to treat my friends like shyt. He clearly was an insensitive asshole, I think he even admitted that he was.
@@d2d2d28 They do now. You have to remember this all happened in the 70s & 80s. Autism wasn't widely talked about or understood then.
Jonathan Demme initially planned to make not this film but instead a concert film of what he regarded as the greatest American rock n roll band working, The Feelies. (See the one music video he made of them playing live.) But he couldn't get financing for a Feelies movie, they were too obscure. The Talking Heads became his fall-back. A second choice that turned out not too shabby.
The Feelies can still be seen live now and then. I was able to seem them April of this year at the Black Cat in DC. Sold out show, 3+ hours, 38 songs, 5 encores... a great time.
I imagine to be a human being saying "..we had a song called "take me to the river"". .. that's quite an achievement!
Tina still got it
Damn, that fallon dude is a knob
Were you a punk band? Listen to the music Jimmy.
David Bryne looks uncomfortable being there with his ex band mates. There was a lot of bad water under the bridge from the past. He wanted to move on and they didn’t. So there was resentment from them towards David.
Hes looking at them like he hates them!
@@PAUL-MHin fairness, Weymouth has said some pretty unforgivable things about him publicly
lol he looked like an autistic person being uncomfortable
@@GregorBarclay I always thought she had a huge ego. She seemed well aware of her spotlight as the "cool chick bass player" in an alt band. Sort of started the trend. And then she AND her husband? Maybe ganging up on David's ideas in the studio? Being in a band with a couple must have been hell for him, TBH.
why does this interview feel so awkward
everytime true genius slipps through the cracks of corporate media, that same media is forced to put them on the show. They aren;t worried, the masses will still go back to Kardashians, and whatever melody absent pop song is on the charts.
David is being very kind but he needs to speak up, he's the leader.
I remember when TH were overdubbing Remain in Light in Studio 5 and mixing in 48-track Studio 8
Do tell
7:13 - I was one of those people who would dance like David Byrne
