Review of Stop Making Sense (1984) by Mark S — 30 Jun 2007

Sadly I will probably never have the opportunity to see the Heads live, but this movie allowed me to witness the amazing performance these guys and girls put on. It's fantastically shot, Demme really approached the visuals in a very cool way.

I wish a few songs would have been swapped out for others, most specifically I wanted to see Big Country performed. Overall, though, it's a great compilation. Byrne's solo Psycho Killer is fantastic, and Burning Down the House was performed with an amazing amount of energy.

This is a must see for all Talking Heads fans, because performance is really their forte.
