Just got into the Talking Heads in the last year. Have only seen one or two of the songs from this on youtube. Looking forward to getting to see the whole thing for the first time on the big screen.

I remember seeing this first run at an arthouse theater and people were dancing in the aisles.
I later rented a VHS and presented it in the auditorium of my high school for fine arts week. It was very well received.

Anyone that likes Stop Making Sense needs to check out David Byrne live on Sessions at West 54th. I wish they would release this, in some format.
I actually prefer the version of Making Flippy Floppy in this show to the one on Stop Making Sense.

My best friend from high school and I have very similar taste in music. We ended up sending this to each other basically at the same time. I sent it and a little later he writes, I was just sending this to you!
