Here are some questions for discussion:
What performances really stand out for you? What is unique about the way the band performs live? What draws you to the live performance? Do you prefer a live version of a song over the recording? Why?
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense. David Byrne’s performance is captivating. I’ve probably watched the video a hundred times and listened to the album countless times. Every song is better than the studio version
I came to say this one as well. At uni I used to borrow a projector and sound system from the college and hold Stop Making Sense viewing parties for friends.
My parents went to sew the film in tge cinema. Apparently during the first song someone shouted, “turn it up!”, and they did. By the end people were dancing I’m the aisles. I’m from the UK so this is notable, lol!
