    David Byrne Live at Union Chapel London DVD

    I stumbled over this DVD today and can recommend it for Talking Heads and David Byrne fans .
    Filmed at the Union Chapel in London in 2003 it has good sound quality but on my PJ it was a bit soft as allmost all NTSC dvds I watch are.
    It is well filmed by the BBC with a stack of cameras.

    It covers songs from through out Talking Heads era as well as Davids more recent solo work and a number of covers including belive it or not Whitney Houston's "I wanna dance with somebody"!
    David's band is acompanied by a string section and percussion section .
    Set list;
    Nothing but flowers,And She Was,Once in a Life Time,God's Child,The Great Intoxication,Un Di Felice,The Revolution,Sax and Violins,This Must be the Place(Naive Melody),What a Day That Was,Like Humans Do,UB Jesus,Life During War Time,Lazy,I Wanna Dance with Somebody(who loves me),Ausenica,The Accident,Road to Nowhere.

    The DVD is NTSC, 16;9 Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 and region codes 2,3,4,5,6

    A real pleasure to find this being a David Byrne /Talking heads fan as I did not know it existed even though David Meek listed it in his New DVD release list back when it first came out (teach me not to read it carefully :roll: )

    Brendon, I presume you've watched "Stop Making Sense"? That's worth a look.

      Hi Nigel,
      I have watched that film dozens of times and own it on VHS and dvd.The CD sound track would have to have been about my favorite CD in the 80'/90's.
      I recently bought the "Brick" (all the studio albums remastered and remixed for DVD-A) and cant wait to get my new house finished so I can complete my souround set up to hear it properly (currently 3.0).I also have The True Stories DVD and another VHS compilation of Talking Heads film clips(The Story telling Giant).

        Hi all,
        Apparently Talking Heads has just put out all thier albums together in a box set called The Brick all remastered in one of the multi chanel formats.

        If you have any interest in good live music, especially vocal and acoustic instruments (but amplified, granted), you just may want to check out Alison Krauss and Union Station Live.

        It's available on CD, and on SACD Hybrid, which includes a DSD down converted CD layer, so it will play...

        by nabulldog
        The only complaint I have about this set is that I have to watch most of the broadcast stations in the Theater 1 or Theater 2(Ex. E.R.) mode in order to eliminate the grey or black bars and prevent any burn-in. I have ordered the Digital Video Essentials DVD in hopes that I might be able to adjust...

        Talking Heads “Stop Making Sense”
        by Barney1
        I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but does anybody own the Talking Heads “Stop Making Sense” DVD wide screen? How is the PQ and is it more a documentary type DVD or music DVD? Thanks in advance!
