Saw David Byrne at Carnegie Hall tonight and it was MAGIC. There was a period of my life when I watched Stop Making Sense obsessively, and I think this is the closest I'll ever get to actually being inside that film. Byrne's ageless as ever--either he and Bowie are drinking the same vampire-magick life-elixir, or there's some serious Picture of Dorian Grey action goin' on in that attic. Byrne never stopped moving; he was too busy cha-cha dancing, hip-swiveling, pogoing, or contorting his body into odd Gumby-like configurations. Over half the set was old Talking Heads songs--"I Zimbra," "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)," "Road to Nowhere," "Once in a Lifetime," "Psycho Killer," "Heaven," "Life During Wartime". . .

And I'd never been inside Carnegie Hall before. It's so beautiful in there; it's like sitting inside a wedding cake turned inside-out. Good lord, the acoustics! It's been so long since I've been in a venue that was actually designed for great sound.

I hope I get the chance to dance with David Byrne someday.

saw him may 3rd in amsterdam, it was a great show, although quite frustrating at the same time since it was an all-seated one! i mean, that's okay and all, but not if you're going to play stuff in such a way that nobody's going to be able to keep their hips still! eventually many people left their seats and rushed to the front of the stage in order to be able to dance. after that the show went down very well.
