Big Talking Heads/David Byrne fan . I go back to the beginning of the Talking Heads when I seen them live on there first tour when they were only a 3 piece in a local movie house that would also have shows that were to big for the Rock Show case club that we had in our neck of the woods in the late 70's (other shows that were to big for the club were Johnny Winters, George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers and Uriah Heap ) Talking Heads were an awesome band that had such an infectious groove and there was no sitting thru there shows as you were on your feet and grooving with the band . Such a great vocalist and frontman that David Byrne is , as I am a big fan . Way back in the 80's when they had that movie out and I can't even remember how many times I went to see that movie and it was great , same as if I was attending one of there live shows . Anyway great artist and such a creative /fertile mind that is David Byrne !

Hi Mike and All,
I was lucky enough to see Dave's show in Leeds on Sunday. Ten years ago I saw him and his band play one of the finest shows that I've seen, so no pressure then DB, hah-hah!
In the event, after a slightly slow start due partly to the 'wtf' nature of the stage and the band (no speakers, wires, amps or lights) as the audience adjusted and got into things. After the first Talking Heads' number the place was jumping and at least down on the floor we were up on the bad foot...excellent!

A special mention to the guy who played the bass and was a ringer for Marcelo (he's Brazilian too!)...he was just a marvel. Mind you, it's almost unfair to single-out any of those players as they're all stellar. Go see!
Cheers,
Simon.

Hi Mike,
Sorry to hear that: in light of this, I'll change my take on the show...they were rubbish, you'll miss nowt...waste of time & money etc.!
Hope you're doing good and enjoying some sun!
Cheers,
Simon.
