if you want to watch an interesting documentary about a band, "Meeting People is Easy" is the way to go. Shows Radiohead dealing with the pressure of the OK Computer tour in the late 1990s, where they went from being "a band" to "THE BAND".

2026-10-02 23:00 Yes! Literally my favorite exercise video - not joiking, I have used this to exercise to. I have a lot of fond memories of watching this with my dad. He died in 2015 so this will always make me think of the times we watched this blasting through the speakers in the living room and rocking out. Not long ago, I got to see the 40th anniversary restoration that played in theaters. I got to see it at the Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee with special guest Jerry Harrison (one of the core 4 band members) who'd been instrumental in getting the restoration done. He's oritingally from Milwaukee so he was interviewed on stage sharing memories of growing up in the area and of recording the concerts for this film. My dad was gone but I carried his memory with me while I watched this on the big screen. And danced.

Sweet memories of seeing this on New Year's Eve 1984. I was 18. probably the best live concert film ever.

David Adler

This was shot at the venerable Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. Not a huge place, hence the small crowd noise.

David Adler

And the Tom Tom Club stuff is awesome.

Youtalkingtome

Cool! We were curious if this was shot over multiple concerts for safety coverage.

I'm so glad I saw this when they rereleased it in theatres. I missed an opportunity to see David Byrne live in 2013 (crazy to still be making good music that deep into his career) and I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if I missed this, too.

Best concert video with an AUDIENCE. Pink Floyd's concert in the Pompeii amphitheater with just roadies and crew filmed in 1971 and released in 1972 as a documentary was the best concert with NO AUDIENCE I'm tempted to request a reaction to that now....

another guy like me who turned 60 this year....

Ben Gilbert

Best concert film ever. Take Me to the River is a cover of an Al Green song.

acidnova

Cities would have been between Slippery People and Life During Wartime. Big Business/I Zimbra would have been between Once In A Lifetime and Genius of Love (by the Tom Tom Club).

2026-10-04 14:00 David Byrne was also on tour this year. He did a great show at Coachella. I watched it online on the live feed. Worth checking out if you can find it. He wasn't running or jogging but he and his band did the whole show almost marching band style (everyone carried their insturments) and never stopped moving the whole time. He's 74 years old! He also did a Tiny Desk Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNmcF6eRE7w

I don't know if it's my favorite TH song in general, but the performance of "Heaven" in this movie is sublime. The way they build both the set and the band is so great. I would also highly recommend the pro shot of David Byrne's Broadway show, "American Utopia." It was my first theater trip after Broadway reopened after the pandemic and it was incredible. Byrne's still got it.

Meryl Lim

The best concert film ever and my favorite band from the '80s. Love David Byrne and his quirky moves and, of course, the big suit. All the band members are fantastic, though I especially love Tina Weymouth on bass. Also, I was laughing because I didn't remember all the squeaky sounds effects in the first few songs and then realized it was your dog with a toy.

Hey guys, thanks for watching! I got into Talking Heads thanks to, of all people, Weird Al. If you've seen the UHF music video, you'll know Al spoofs several musicians (https://youtu.be/NUi926ses94?si=6SDX5A3vZ_FIQSC3). Some time in my late 20s I was watching the music video for the umpteenth time and I asked myself for the first time ever, "I wonder what that big suit is about?" I went to Wikipedia where it listed all the references and parodies from the video and learned about Talking Heads and Stop Making Sense. Then I started watching clips from SMS on Youtube and that kickstarted my love of this band. A few years back they announced a fully restored version of SMS coming to theaters and I was beyond hyped. Here's the trailer announcement: https://youtu.be/BwuQtdb4guo?si=vtgBaBehx0w8zEXN It was fantastic seeing it on the big screen with the amazing theater sound! From my memory, I believe they filmed three shows/nights. Just a heads up, this won't be the last Talking Heads film you'll see from me, so look forward to that in the future (unless someone beats me to it).

No shinola? I love Pink Floyd. Saw them live once back in the day. This concert exists in 4K. I'm all over it.

Ben Gilbert

It was shot over three nights in 1983.

Ben M.

That. Is. Wild. Thanks for burning that into my memory!

Back in the late ‘90s, I had an assistant manager at the bookstore I worked at named Connie. She told me about the time she was hanging out at a pretty small venue in Chicago in the late ‘70s and saw the Talking Heads before they had any sort of national reputation. She was getting a drink at the bar after their set and struck up a conversation with Tina, who was also getting a drink. They hit it off, and Tina invited her to join them club hopping that night. Connie got the impression that Tina was eager to have another girl to hang out with instead of just the guys. She said that everyone in the band was super nice and delightful to dance with! (Connie also told me about a landlord she had in the ‘80s who she later found out had been the first wife of John Wayne Gacy, but that’s another story…)

Panos

Easily the best concert film ever.

John Marnell

A landlord with bad taste? Quelle surprise....

I watched this in 1984 as the start of a planned bike-acid trip in San Diego with a friend. We started at the Hillcrest Theater early in the evening where we dropped before it started so we started the film clear headed. Then biked downhill to Filipe's in Little Italy high as a kite, and after that pedalled out to the Midway for a midnight showing of Clockwork Orange, which unbeknownst to us was swarmed with fresh Marines from the training base and a disturbing number of people dressed up like the characters from Clockwork Orange. And they ALL cheered at the most disturbing parts.... had left a pickup truck at that theater so we wouldn't have to pedal home after, just threw our bikes in the back. I think on our way home we were still trying to figure out what we hallucinated vs what we actually saw.

Just getting to this now — Should I be embarrassed that I’m not familiar with The Talking Heads? (Probably.) My wheelhouse is classical, opera, and old jazz...plus a surprising selection of early 2000's alt rock from high school, lol. I have a feeling my mind is about to be blown. Ready... set.... 😎 Post-watch addendum: Well, there it is then. I need to listen to every album of theirs immediately. There’s my weekend settled ;) Also, like you guys mentioned - I love the simplicity of this concert. Beyond a few simple lighting/set elements, it’s just a business-casual band made of real musicians doing what they do best. I love it. So much fun!

Carl Wilson

It was filmed over four nights of shows in L.A. and edited together. But I think the whole stage show was the same each night. Definitely the idea with the treatment of the audience was that this was going to be shown in movie theaters, so the movie audience *becomes the concert audience. And it really works that way! Saw it when it came out and then when the restored print was released a few years ago. If you ever get a chance, see it in a theater. The experience is a hundred times stronger.

Carl Wilson

Also in case you didn't know: David, Tina (bass), Chris (drums), and Jerry (keys/guitar) - in other words all the white people - are the original Talking Heads, who formed in art school in Rhode Island in the mid-70s. And then everyone else, including some major major funk musicians, is in the hired expanded band. So the way the band builds up in the first half hour of the show also kind of re-tells the story of the group visually.

acidnova

RIP to Bernie Worrell who died in 2016. He was the keyboard player in this. Was also one of the founding members of the Parliament Funkadelic.

acidnova

That's awesome! It's one thing to enjoy the show when you already like the band or at least a couple songs by them. But this particular show has such incredible energy and musicianship, the vibe is so fun, and I think that it crosses enough genre lines to be enjoyed by quite a wide range of people who would otherwise have very different tastes.

Youtalkingtome

I can only imagine seeing this live. God it would have been incredible

Youtalkingtome

I've been listening to Heaven all weekend. Goosebumps every time

Youtalkingtome

They are the best Clare! Come back after you've listened to it all and tell me your favorites!

Clare Manion

They really are! I love the energy. Haven’t listened to everything yet, but some favorites so far - Psycho Killer is super catchy, The Great Curve sounds like the soundtrack to a stylish Guy Ritchie heist movie, and Heaven is gorgeous. Although I think the winner for me (at the moment) is This Must Be The Place :)
