Review of Stop Making Sense (1984) by Mitchell W — 01 Jul 2007
Hands down the best concert film ever, better than "Woodstock," "Gimme Shelter," even "The Last Waltz." This is a great live band at its peak, putting on a great show. Visually and musically, everything comes together perfectly and organically.
Conceptually it's brilliant - right before your eyes, the band evolves from a stripped-down, D.I.Y. post-punk band to an amazing full-fledged funk band. Favorite scene - "This Must Be The Place.
" It's tempting to skip ahead to your favorite numbers, but really, watch the whole thing from start-to-finish if you want to really appreciate this. Again, it's brilliantly constructed.
