Photo from Laura MusselmanLast night I saw David Byrne perform at Radio City Music Hall. This was my
It lightly rained before tonight's show but it was indoors. The concert was sold out or at least thats what it read on the marquee outside Radio City Music Hall. We walked up to the box office through the busy crowd minutes before the show started and purchased tickets in the center orchestra for face value. Easy enough . . . right?
Byrne came out on stage and chatted with the audience as his band set up. He opened the first of his two back-to-back shows at Radio City with his hit "Strange Overtones" off his latest LP. David was accompanied by a group of youthful dancers who did synchronized dances to all of his songs throughout the show. They leaped, galloped, rolled across stage in office chairs and even did acrobatics over Byrne's head.
He played a little over two hours and lot's stuff from this new album he collaborated on with Brian Eno entitled Everything That Happens Will Happen Today and one off My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and even a Catherine Wheel tune but when he performed his Talking Head classics it really turned the beautiful but stuffy Radio City Music Hall into a non-sit down venue as every one stood from their seats and danced till the evenings close.
Fun times indeed but what would really get my panties in a pinch would be a Talking Heads reunion. Come on David, Tina, Chris and Jerry . . . can't you all be friends? Dr. Kevchino is willing to sit down and do a session with y'all.
