I was driving for lyft in Austin a few yrs ago. I get a pick up at a local theater. A husband and wife were all giggly and enjoying themselves after a David Bryne concert. The lady immediately asked me to play This Must Be The Place and I had never heard of it. . Or David... they made me pull over and we watched several KZhead videos of his hits. It was an awesome experiemce jamming out to new music with strangers. I listen to David all the time now. Thanks cute Austin couple!
What a great story! I have found that you can learn a lot from strangers and that they can be wonderful.
Bryne’s one of a kind.
That story started my day off with a smile! The couple was right to introduce you to David Byrne. Ah..date nights. Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome story!
Ive been buying and listening to music since i was a young kid. I’ve never heard a song that I like as much as the live version if this must be the place from stop making sense. It sounds like no other song that i have ever heard. From the time i was in high school to 20 years later I don’t know if i have ever liked a song that i did not sort of grow out of. I love the song as much today as the first time i heard it.
David Byrne is brilliant in many ways plus an overall cool guy. Stop Making Sense remains THE best concert documentary of all time. RIP Jonathan Demme
"Talking Heads should've had a better vocalist." That's a comment from a friend who doesn't seem to get that without David Byrne, there is no Talking Heads.
Absolutely agree. Unbelievable talent, energy and pure grace.
@@brucemacmillan7128 that’s an ignorant observation indeed. 😮Talking Heads are Tied with David Bowie as my favorites of all time.😎🤝
@@dawnadriana1764 🙏☮️🥂👍🏻
I will have to watch that. As long as it's free.
David Byrne looks amazing fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better than most of us who grew up with his music have aged!
Yeah. I’m tense and nervous. Can’t relax
Aged Killer
kudos for the correct number of fas 😌
Same as he ever was
David has aged so beautifully.
Can't believe he's almost 70! :)
such a class act but down to earth and warm
He has❤!
Indeed! I'm 38.......and whenever I get a bit despondent about getting older, I often remember that David Byrne exists. People like Byrne(who's 69!) or Reggie Watts(49) are excellent examples of older people who are still TOTALLY young inside. And not in that cringey sad mid-life crisis sort of way. Rather, he just never allowed himself to become a jaded cynical grumpy old man incapable of connecting to the novelty of the present moment. That's a rather rare quality in a person....but every time someone has it, it's inspiring to me. Because getting old honestly....kinda sucks, imo. Mostly because death and illness(yours and others) becomes inescapably closer. But if I can be as interesting AND interested as David is when I'm 69....I'll be quite ok with getting older. And maybe by then David will still be alive(at 100) and showing the way forward still... Anyway, I'm rambling....I just love the guy. If anyone is interested, besides his amazing music career, he's also a great writer. I've only read his books "How Music Works" and "The Bicycle Diaries" but loved them both. He has several more titles beyond that. Definitely worth checking out. Mostly because David can often come across quite "autistic" when speaking....whereas his writing allows him to fully expound his thoughts in a way where he has more control....and it makes you realize he's a genuinely super smart creative interesting human. I'm still rambling, aren't I? Ok....I'll end my Byrne love fest. ;P
He is an avid bicycle rider.
My uncle gave me a "Talking Heads" album for my 7th birthday back in 1989 and thought it was a catchy record. The more I listened to it the more I understood David, Tina, Jerry, and Chris were amazing together. I asked my uncle where he listened and found out about this group and he said when he was in New York back in the '70s, he heard of this small underground punk group with a weird but smart frontman named David Byrne playing at a hole in the wall club. My uncle passed away a while back and till this day I always listen to " This must be the place". Thx for the gift Uncle Frank!! Miss u..
Have you seen the movie CBGB? It's about that nightclub in NY
This is a very sweet tribute to your uncle!
Great story!
David Byrne is a genius. Same as it ever was
😂
Davids a Shy Dude, Stop making sense was and still is the finest live recording of all time!
Agree!
Not sure if he'd remember me, but David was one of the "big kids" in our community. His mother was an absolute joy with her Scottish brogue!
Awesome
Was it Lansdowne? I about choked when I realized he and I graduated from the same high school in Maryland.
@@getmeouttatennessee4473 , he also went to Arbutus Jr High (before it was a middle school) before going to Lansdowne - both schools I went to.
David looks fantastic
I’d never seen David interviewed before. What a pleasure. And you can see his energy. He can’t sit still. He’s a real mover and shaker as they say..
The constant moving is also very common amongst us with ADHD, which he is pretty open about experiencing
You may enjoy a video here on YT from 1983. He is interviewed in Brussels. Fascinating
@@dark_neverland no he doesn’t have adhd he’s autistic
Still bumpin' a bit
When l was a teenager his band were one of the biggest in the world.
@@Kelly-lp8hj Life during wartime. Kinda like living with Kelly.
@@Kelly-lp8hj 8/1/2 lMBD American Utopia ..sit down. 👋💯
Two goddamn national treasures, making dad jokes, dad dances, and hurt backs. This is the joy we need.
"Talking Heads should've had a better vocalist." Comment from a Facebook friend who doesn't get David Byrne, or the fact that without David Byrne, there is no Talking Heads.
the greatest bands have had unique vocalists, think also of robert plant
David Byrne is less a vocalist and more an Experience.
His own band members at the time when they went off to do their side projects commented about not having to hear him sing I’m sure with the relations between them They were being catty with each other in the press He did it his way and we are richer for it
@@sdjahof1964 Always loved Byrne's odball vocal delivery and his lyrical sensibility is certainly... unique.
@@MelissaThompson432 I'd say he's a bit of both. Like Psycho's Anthony Perkins if he'd been in a position to cultivate more positive pursuits. Lol
I wonder if David rode his bike to Colbert in that jacket and turtle neck lol.
lol...Same. He would ride his bike around New Orleans. I was at a bus stop one day. He stopped to tell me that I had a really nice purse. LOL!
@@UnopinionatedBystander2393 I lived in New Orleans for a time. Never knew who would come into your bubble. Crossed Lenny Kravitz walking his dogs. Sat next to Trent Reznor many times at The Dungeon. Good times. Thanks for reminding me.
@@dianeupshaw5337 Jon Batiste is from Metairie
National freekin treasure right there.....
Indeed. A true inspiration for all the right reasons to break out of the box.
Byrne is genius. Creative, inimitable and brilliant.
David Byrne IS an international treasure.
Byrne touches me deeply. What a creative being!
Wow! When he said "Don't let that kid get hit" I was transported instantly to a non-existent track on Remain in Light (6:23)
I know! Each time he raised his voice a little, I got a zing! Like it was instantly a line in one of his songs.
Mojique
David Byrne being David Byrne and letting us come along for the ride.

Fear Of Music was my favorite album by Talking Heads.
Mine as well. I love it.
It’s tied with More Songs about Buildings and Food for me. I can’t choose between either, so I choose both
Still one of my all time favorite albums of any genre. Game-changing recording for me. I adore them and him!
Best live concert ever!
David Byrne is an absolute genius. His music remains ridiculous and brilliant at the same time as it has always been.
same as it ever was 😊
Genius of what? Overrated. Without The Heads there would be NO David Byrne.
@@nyccheckin OOo egdy
@@nyccheckin You know he wrote the songs yeah??
@@IAmJustR same as it ever was 😄
This man has the energy of a small bird. I'm here for it.
Takes one to know one.

Byrne is an American treasure
kzhead.info/sun/irNwmtaMiHqDmqc/bejne.html
Agreed but technically he is Scottish
@@Sbnp71120 Really Scottish-American.
Stephen is a real trooper. Even through the pain he's right there polishing the plates and stopping traffic!
kzhead.info/sun/irNwmtaMiHqDmqc/bejne.html
Stephen just keeps on going. I admire him.
David is not your average senior. But he was always not average .love him
He don't mind a slight disorder
I have seen David play on Steven's show even when it was The Steven Colbert show. Steven really appreciates great music.
OMG i love Davud Byrne! :D such a fantastic artist 💯
xoxox David Byrne starts at Brilliant, and goes on from there.
Saw the Broadway production right before Covid shut the world down...it was amazing! David Byrne is really a multi-talented individual.
Finally, some dance moves I can actually do!
That was awesome!
This was fun 🙂
feelin' some definite "I Zimbra" vibes from the band at the end there!!
I Zimbra was one of my absolute favorites is the nineties, so glad he's still playing this a LOT.
Is it just me or is David Byrne the new Mr Rogers? He acts almost like him! Total legend
Got to see Talking Heads at Long Beach Arena in 1984. One of the best ever ❤
3:06 someone in the audience catches the "we talk a little bit but not much" nod to houses in motion
I got to see him perform in Nashville on Halloween 1997. One of my top 5 shows for sure. He probably changed clothes at least 10 times. He is a great artist and highly talented performer. Would love to see this on Broadway.
David Byrne and the Talking Heads certainly changed my life in the late 70s at the Forest Hills tennis courts the concert blew me and five of my friends away! Production was exceptional. By the end of the concert there wasn't room for one more human being on that stage.
"Hi. I've got a tape I want to play."
This is one of the most simply delightful interview I've seen in a while!
Ximinez "Cardinal Fang! Fetch...THE COMFY CHAIR!" Audience:- We just want to dance!
musical genius david byrne
Stop making sense is the greatest concert film of all time
David Byrne (always get him confused with the actor Gabriel Byrne) Is a VAMPIIIIIIIIIRE!!!! He hasn't aged all that much and TBH, I find him MUCH MORE attractive at this age compared to his younger years back in the early 1980s.
The guy is one of the best modern American music masterminds. And always wearing bucks. Love that David Byrne!!
You've got to have David go up against John Lithgow for a game of Pictionary!
kzhead.info/sun/irNwmtaMiHqDmqc/bejne.html
i just don't know if anyone is cooler than david byrne . to be that smart and that good-natured is so rare
I now have the strange urge to become a crossing guard.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Like humans do?
Same as it ever was (had to complete the verse)
♥️♥️♥️Love David Byrne!♥️♥️♥️ And he looks great!😍😍😍
He's awesome.
I LIKE David Byrne. 🙂☺
Judy’s in the bedroom. Inventing situations.
David Byrne has "non-traditional dance moves" .... dead right he has!
He came back ! ❤️
He is one of my favorites.
"Living in my head" is a nice reference to The Talking Heads, but as far as Americans going through their shut-downs and lock-downs, as well as social distancing, I'm seeing it as the age of introspection. I'm seeing many signs of social movement for many social causes all across America, and it's about time America cleaned itself up.
Okay Killjoy.... ( but you're right... I'm not denying that... and good things will come of it... because maybe Americans are asking themselves, well, "how did I get here?"...)
@@tomallen5837, 'My god, what have I done ?!'
@@tomallen5837 Nothing wrong with introspection; when the scales get too heavy with "joy", it's time to attend to the other side. Balance is always key.
Much love and seeing them both soon!
Iconic! Same as it ever was!
Brilliant artist. To this day,
Thanks for the dance moves David 😎 After watching this interview while doing the dishes I was listening to music on shuffle, as I usually do. Satisfaction by Benny Benassi played. Caught myself doing these moves. Haha
David Byrne, one of the coolest & talented men on the planet. Love hm.
I love this man so much.
great to see and hear you again David! I am so grateful to you for giving me your autograph years ago in San Francisco. Mahalo and Aloha!
love his music
He is such a fascinating person and so creative...his mind has some dimensions the rest of us don’t have. The big suit is permanently etched in my mind. Thank you for 35+ years of fun and pleasure.
So cute and shy!
I wanna hug him so much
"How Music Works". Great book!
He’s a brilliant performer and songwriter, I’ve loved him and his music since the beginning..
I love him 😭
A genius. 💙💙💙💙💙
Jon Batiste and the band going for the deep cut with the track from my life in the bush of ghosts at the end there!
I came here to write that but you beat me to it. He's a musical legend and most musicians are well aware of the way he fabricates intricate beats and percussions..they went right to it. The music from this 1981 album and its general meaning has aged VERY well...
He looks great!
Love you Tendayi Kuumba!!!
I wish David Byrne was my father.
Mr. David Byren is Brilliant. 👍👍👍🇺🇸
David as kooky as ever. lol
kooky is the perfect word x
i Zimbra has been iconic for a near a half century.
Role model to me showing how to evolve as an artist and great human
David Byrne is a treasure.
fokin love that guy !
Always good to see David Byrne. A great entertainer.Who's the geek with glasses?
Talking Heads was fab!
Genius
Unlimited Genius
Hey, David! There are dishes in the sink!
My idol since the longest time
I have a gammy back too, Stephen.. I feel ya. I was foolish, and tried to get out of bed in one go this morning... served me right, really.
💝💝
He seems happy. The kind of happiness that comes to someone who courageously faces their demons and then gets to have a happy old age.
Utter genius
David's "Rei Momo" is the best concept album by anyone at any time ever!
The man is just pure genius. He and Frank Zappa are in a similar musical category ....... Genius. Not well understood. Before their time. Just plain brilliant.
What Byrne actuallly did for music is illustrated perfectly in this interview. 1:23:40 i had no idea. kzhead.info/sun/odRxqMd7m1-be40/bejne.html
Lovely genius
He's so youngish for a 70 year old man!
Three National Treasures right there Baby!
