In 1984 Jonathan Demme collaborated with The Talking Heads to direct what is one of the best live concert films. Made entirely in digital audio format, and shot over three days, it is a visual and acoustic marvel. To a die-hard fan of The Talking Heads this represents the best of their music, energy and genius. The movie begins with the manic David Byrne coming on stage with a guitar and cassette tape player, then he puts a tape into the player and starts to sing. The opening credits sequence is right out of Dr. Strangelove and at the end of the first song Psycho Killer the music has staccato bursts of “gunfire” as Byrne staggers about the stage like Jean Paul Belmondo in the final moments of Breathless.
