I'm a reasonably big fan of Talking Heads but I don't really follow Byrne's solo career. Still, something about the presentation and photography of this show made me want to watch it and I figured this would be a nice musical interlude in the fest to lean back and let wash over me. It filled that purpose very well. I appreciate how they managed having all of the instruments hooked up wirelessly (however they did it. I feel like I saw mics on each of their shoulders? But at the very end they looked more like sensors?) It created a nice dynamic set-up where they could really play with the staging of each song. The music wasn't bad either.

Now it's very very late, but I'm going to try and make it through one more...
