Default Playing the Building by David Byrne

I've never met Mr. Bryne, but I did attend one of their Stop Making
Sense tour stops, the tour that the movie was made from.

We live a pretty conservative area, so selling out a large arena for
the Talking Heads wasn't going to happen. Instead, they cut the local
War Memorial in half, creating a horseshoe shaped arena that was
packed with about 8000 raucous fans.

I used to live in NYC and attended lots of concerts at MSG, Central
Park, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Fillmore East, The Meadowlands, etc.

The Stop Making Sense concert ranks amongst the top few concerts that
I've ever attended.
