Movie Review: el mejor concierto grabado, por mucho
Summary: 5 Stars
Amo la musica. En todas sus vertientes, mientras me parezca buena. Y eso me ha convertido en un buscador de perlas dentro de lo grabado aqui y alla. No he podido encontrar algo que se acerque siquiera un poco a este concierto. Se lo he mostrado a teen agers que nada sabian de esa epoca esa musica. Y se les volo la cabeza. Sin excepciones.
En un marco tecnico y conceptual de primer nivel (sonido/video/bonus/ disenio) El concierto se desenvuelve con una coherencia y calidad inusuales. Uno de los secretos de talking heads es una increible habilidad para generar melodias que no pueden sino tararearse tras escucharlas un par de veces, con una base ritmica ante la que es imposible no mover el cuerpo. Y no hablo de musica disco. hablo de una creatividad acompaniada de un concepto musical extraordinario. No pueden perderse este concierto. Es casi un pecado.
Movie Review: Simply astounding
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw this video, I had only vaguely heard of the Talking Heads. I had heard the song Psycho Killer and I knew that David Byrne was supposed to be a weirdo. As the movie opens, David Byrne comes on to a bare stage alone with a guitar and boom-box. David starts playing Psycho Killer and you start to get into it. As the movie progresses, both the music and the stage evolve.
If you're a concert-goer, you know that some bands put on better shows than others. Perhaps it's their energy, good sound mixing, or just a good vibe, but certain bands know how to put on a good show. David Byrne and The Talking Heads do everything right and the result is not only an amazing concert, but also a visually appealing show. The movie is consistently entertaining with no lulls in the fun. The film grabbed me and never let go till it was over.
Movie Review: The next best thing to being there
Summary: 5 Stars
Jonatham Demme's concert film captures the Talking Heads at the height of their powers in 1983. Fans of the band will not be disappointed, and I don't think anyone else who comes to this film with an open mind, open ears, and open eyes will, either. It begins with David Byrne alone on a bare stage, where he performs an acoustic version of "Psycho Killer" with a boom box providing the percussion. The band members and supporting musicians come on stage, set up, and join in during succeeding numbers as the music becomes steadily more layered until we arrive at the explosively exhuberant performance of "Burning Down the House" that ends the picture. Byrne's quirky personality, the exquisite musicianship of the band, the varied influences of the songs, and everyone's sheer love of making music are on full display here. Highly recommended.Movie Review: The best concert video ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a minor Talking Heads fan before this video was shot, but didn't see it until around 1987, having rented it from a video place. It was and still is my all time favorite concert video. David Byrne, Tina, Chris, and Mr. Harrison are brilliant. The supporting musicians and singers? Simply awesome. From the bare stage begining of Psyco Killer, to Life During Wartime, and Crosseyed and Painless, every song is a work of musical art. This is no overly produced star fest. The music takes center stage. Jonathan Demme was supurb. I will probably never tire of watching this. A sure fire way to brighten your day. Even a non fan would probably be hooked to this! My favorite song is probably the second... Heaven Heaven is a place. A place where nothing, nothing ever happens....as the roll the set out to the stage. BrilliantMovie Review: Slippery people
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie holds up very well over time. I saw the movie in '85 in a theatre in the Back Bay of Boston and was bowled over. It is amazing to see the raw energy of David Byrne and the gang. Byrne goes solo on "Pshycho Killer," bringing out his band one member at a time, hitting full stride on "Slippery People." He has added more percussion and some nubile back up singers to give even more umphh to the music. Each band member reveals his or her own character with Tina Weymouth taking the lead on one selection from The Tom Tom Club. Remember them? This is one of the most satisfying concert films I've seen. Jonathan Demme really knew how to capture the kinetic energy of David Byrne. The back stage graphics add to the post-modernist feel of this intellectual punk band, which was a big part of the CBGB scene.
