Incredible




I got to see David Byrne at Massey Hall this wednesday. Suffice to say, I was more than pleased with the show. It was very funky, rythmic and heartfelt performance. He performed a range of material drawn from his collaborative work with Brian Eno both with Talking Heads and in solo outings. The delievery was hot, he can still move for 56. I was especially pleased with the number of pieces from the Remain in Light album, which happens to be in my 'Top 5 All Time Albums'.
