oh ya of course talking heads songs at all the shows. im just saying that if i were to compare the setlists of the three shows, i would hope to find 1-3 unique TH songs in each show that were not performed in the others. maybe not tho. RCMH was like 65% heads and 35% new album or more recent solo work.

i also saw the david byrne x saint vincent tour, lets say 2011ish? and i saw him sit in with arcade fire, lets go with 2014ish.

i am really hoping we're closed on the house by nov 8. start making sense are playing at assembly kingston. they're a cover band but they absolutely nail early 80s era talking heads. it will be a big drunk party.

unfortunately this recommendation comes late as the east coast dates have now wrapped, but david byrne's current tour is really beautiful and amazing and is high up there on my list of all time favorite concerts. radio city music hall helps. 2+ hours non stop, entire 13 piece band is in constant choreographed motion (keys and drums are set up like a marching band with harness), giant video production the entire show, a narrative and theme. he is a national treasure. i dont know how many aging rock stars in their 70s can do that kind of performance.
Him and thom yorke are tied in my mind as the most influential artist of my lifetime. He really does continue to put out good stuff.

theres a song called everybody's coming to my house. it was the encore. before burning down the house. and it felt like a warm blanket. I was standing there thinking it's some obscure older head's song. buried in my subconscious, but not a song 'i know'. i was shocked after the show when i looked it up and realized it was written for this 13-piece band just a couple of years ago.

Back in the AZ Summit days, we were lucky to catch Start Making Sense one of the years. Got lucky with decent bands most years actually. Also saw Big Head Todd, Assembly of Dust and the Mallett Brothers x 2.

Maybe new AZ ownership (whenever it happens) brings the summit back.
