The short doc suggests Tina only learnt the bass to get into the band. If so she appears to have learnt it very well. They then formed and one second later were gigging at CBGB's and signed by Seymour Stein two seconds later.</p> <p>Remember Kent Brockman does not know who talking heads are </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19431#post-300792 Tue, 05 Feb 2019 22:09:59 +0000 minus six 300792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>i had not seen that one gembo-san, cheers</p> <p>there was that Channel 4 documentary in 1982 that they somehow got wrong on the night and had to restart the programme halfway through, i remember that one fondly</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ-_eIvdhrQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ-_eIvdhrQ</a><br /> .</p> <p>the live gigs at Roma and Dortmund, both in 1980 are well worth revisiting, with Adrian Belew in full effect</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wp2qhoop9U" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wp2qhoop9U</a><br /> .</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQo1YK3I0BY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQo1YK3I0BY</a><br /> .</p> <p>Tina Weymouth is really up front at the Dortmund gig</p> <p>obviously Byrne and Weymouth just could not reconcile.. but over time i've come to respect Byrne's decision not to reform the band</p> <p><em>Fear of Music</em> and <em>Remain in Light</em>, what can you say.. peerless, timeless works</p> <p>I remember Byrne playing at the Barrowlands in Nov '89, just a week or so after the Happy Mondays i think it was.. i still had a cheeky half eccy left over, to enhance the dance</p> <p>Anyway he had an unusual seating arrangement up the back of the ballroom.. and it all became clear, later during the gig he said to the band, "make this good guys, my family is all sitting up the back there.." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19431#post-300587 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 16:18:04 +0000 gembo 300587@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think David Byrne likes cycling and he is from Dumbarton.</p> <p>Anyway, the documentary on YouTube is 26 mins long but 'it's like 60 mins on acid'</p> <p>There is a clip of Kermit from the Muppets in the huge Stop Making Sense Big Suit </p>
