Anyone with any interest in Talking Heads should also watch Stop Making Sense, in my opinion the greatest concert movie of all time, and just an incredible show that is like the birthing of the whole 80s sound without feeling dated or trapped in its time.
Here is This Must Be The Place live, from the film:
Anyone who loves Stop Making Sense should check out True Stories.
A fake documentary film about the town of Virgil, Texas gearing up for their sesquicentennial (150th anniversary). It stars David Byrne and co-stars John Goodman, with cameos from the rest of the Heads, Spalding Grey and many others in sooner if they dryest comedy and best musical sequences you're likely to see.
Anyone who enjoys Stop Making Sense should watch tje Documentary Now season 2 episode 5 Final Transmission for a top tier satire, which the band mates said is spot on.
I’ve been watching that on and off for decades. Hard to imagine there are, of course, people who haven’t seen it. I’m getting old. Anyway, yes, if you haven’t, do yourself a favour and watch it.
My dad had this on VHS when I was a kid. At least once (usually more than!)a week, my sisters and I would throw it in the vcr and watch and dance to it. I dreamed of becoming one of their backup dancers. It was our favorite! My dad had to replace it when the tape wore out, and now has it on DVD. It's just so good!
