The best concert ever!
I have seen hundreds of concerts. Many have been amazing, none have surpassed this one. Byrnes energy is unbelievable.
The way each member of the band comes out is perfect. The song selection is brilliant.
You need to watch this entire video to truly appreciate how genius it really is.
You will not be disappointed.
YES.
Simply, unequivocally, resoundingly YES.
Fantastic movie
This movie of one of the performances of the Talking Heads continues to be one of the best ever recorded.
