Classic Talking Heads Concert

Viewing a filmed music concert has been a tradition of the BFS, so this year we are fortunate to have a new remastering of the very famous 1983 concert that Talking Heads did over four live shows at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles.

Director Jonathan Demme is known for his film Silence of the Lambs (1991) which won 5 Academy Awards and best picture. David Byrne implored the band to wear neutral coloured clothing to ensure an optimum camera recording and quite a lot of editing took place but the reviews of the film are astounding. On the Rotten Tomatoes aggregator, Stop Making Sense holds an approval rating of 100% based on 66 reviews: an average of 9.3 out of 10. Why Talking Heads? Well, they are pretty well known plus they are very, very good on stage. Enjoy! Madman.

USA, 1984 Digital Remaster. Dir: Jonathan Demme. Actors include David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Talking Heads musicians.
