Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense CD

Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense captures the band at the height of their live powers, with performances drawn from the acclaimed concert film directed by Jonathan Demme. Recorded during three shows at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater, the performances feature David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison, joined by an expanded touring band.

The show famously begins with Byrne alone on stage performing Psycho Killer, before additional musicians gradually join him. The resulting performances combine new wave, art rock, funk and dance music with the distinctive rhythmic approach that made Talking Heads such an influential band.

Highlights include Burning Down The House, Life During Wartime, Once In A Lifetime, This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody), Girlfriend Is Better and Take Me To The River, alongside Tom Tom Club’s Genius Of Love.
