Outstanding band, and watching Byrne doing his choreography routines then shows what he would be doing later, with the entire band using wireless technology and no amps on stage. I was fortunate enough to see Talking Heads play on the 77 tour, with Dire Straights as support, but for whatever reason I never got to see them again. I did, however, see Byrne tour several years ago with Annie Clark/St Vincent, and it was mesmerising, an astonishing show, one continuous dance routine while playing instruments; watching this video really shows what he really wanted to achieve.
Brilliant.
