The best of the best when it comes to live recordings, and it doesn’t fail as an album either. Simply Peak.

It makes you dance whether you like it or not

perfect album and perfect movie

The best concert film ever made.

This is the only concert film I've seen, but boy it is a great thing. The energetic performances of Talking Heads combined with powerful and iconic renditions of some of their songs, and who could forget the ever unforgettable David Byrne in the Big Suit and his dance moves. It is the must see film for all Talking Heads fans and those, who just need a good vibe to get them out of any slump in their life.

Put on your dancing shoes you slippery people and dance like no one's looking. I saw this over a dozen times when I was a teenager, all of us dancing on the movie theatre stage and everywhere else. My generation's Rocky Horror Picture Show.

One of the greatest concert films ever made.

I forgot how seamless this is I feel as I'm right on the stage w Talking Heads. Unless you hate good music check it out....I promise it will get u movin

TTHs wrote the soundtrack for the end of my college career. They wrote the music that our department (Computer Science/Ops Research) and the math department partied to over the weekend. But somehow, life interrupted before I could watch Demme's film. I could not watch this without a smiling ear-to-ear. Thank you!

WE REALY ENJOYED THIS

Stop Making Sense is a superb concert movie. It begins with one man and his guitar coming on stage and slowly adds more musicians to the stage and builds up to a full band with percussion and backup singers. The songs are very catchy and the performers are excellent with dancing and a lot of energy. I was already familiar with Talking Heads going into this movie, however, I think even the average music listener would enjoy this film. It doesn't get any better in this genre.

Transcendent as a concert set filmed start to finish. Delightfully weird, passionate, soulful, moving, all the above. It teleports you back decades, making you feel like you're on the floor front and center. Loved it.

It is simply THE best movie concert that has ever been created EVER! I love the music anyway and I must have seen this over 100 times, it never gets tired, if I could go back anywhen in time, I would go back to this gig. LOVE IT!!! And nothing is better than this.....is it?

it's terrible 😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡🤬😡😡🤬🤬😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡🤬🫡😡🤬😡😡🤬😡😡🤬🤬😡🥶🤬🤬😡😡😥

A hell of of a movie. Jonathan Demme (pronounced Dem-Me) directed this iconic and at times rather odd film that makes the most of Talking Heads pop choruses by added funk rhythms, excellent backing vocals and a lot of live energy. Part of the enduring nature of the film is how spontaneous, rhythmic and natural the performances are but the minimalist lighting and simple, grey outfits are really at odds with stock 80s pop presentation. Arguably, T.H. were a "70s and 80s" type of band, but something that happens over the three live concerts compiled here, with some additional overdubs, is the volume, texture and impact of the material comes across properly; a lot of 80s pop radio mixes were oddly stilted and trebly sounding. The movie doesn't really have a "plot" or added interview filler - just great band performances with David Byrne's theatricality, lighting setups and projections and an extended cast of excellent touring musicians.

Nothing, nothing like it. Must see. It will stay with you!

Heads up and go see this concert movie. The Talking Heads were at their best and the film with sound quality is exceptional. You're going to have a very good time.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the exquisitely restored Jonathan Demme-directed Talking Heads concert film STOP MAKING SENSE is how it reminds us of how transcendent live music can be. You won't see iPhones lifted in unison, nor will you see people scrambling to take photos at the front of stage in a frenzy to induce raging FOMO in their followers. What you will see is a fantastic record of an iconic and innovative band, captured by a filmmaker that understood Talking Heads' unique performance styles & musical rhythms, and Spartan visual aesthetics. The end result is remarkably timeless and as impactful in 2023 as it was in 1984. Shot in 1983 on location at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood during their tour promoting the Speaking in Tongues album, the film would ultimately preserve what would be their final tour as a group. Not seeing the band live remains one of my biggest regrets, but for anyone who cherishes them – or is learning about them for the first time – STOP MAKING SENSE is essential viewing.

The energy captured here is really infectious, and that's no easy feat. The film seems to cross over from being "just" a concert film to something more. A pretty unique experience.

god that was so much fun. using this as an exercise routine from now on
