Making his fame in the iconic new wave band Talking Heads, front man David Byrne (born 14 May 1952) from Scotland, UK, boasts not only his Grammy award winning talent as a singer-songwriter but in his prolific career adds actor, writer and director to his impressive list of accolades.

Early on Byrne developed a love for music developing an obsession with the family record player and at five this inquisitiveness grew as his flair for music took control as started learning to play the harmonica. With his family migrating to America at nine, Byrne spent the rest of his childhood raised in Baltimore, US where he picked up guitar, playing in a few local bands.

A brief stint at Rhode Island School of Design marked the beginning of his musical path and in 1975 created the band Talking Heads who would become a beacon for new wave American rock bands of the 80’s. Whilst having a majorly successful run in the band as principal songwriter and distinctive vocalist responsible for hits such as “Psycho Killer” and “Burning Down the House”, Byrne established a solo career which allowed his creativity to blossom outside of Talking Heads.

Striking a bond with musician and producer Brian Eno would push Byrne’s experimental tendencies starting with the incredible debut solo release “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” in 1981 which critics praised as one of the best albums of the 80’s with its pioneering use of sampling and fusing electronic with world music. With iconic solo albums such as “Rei Momo” (1989), Feelings (1997) and “Look into the Eyeball” (2001) and the entire Talking Head discography, Byrne has influenced major contemporary acts such as: Radiohead, R.E.M. and Vampire Weekend.

Embracing all genres and styles of music, Byrne time after time strikes gold with his ability to adapt and inject his personal style into everything he touches, creating musical masterpieces which transcend time and genre while inspiring generations.

Live reviews

I could hardly maintain my excitement when I heard David Byrne was performing in my hometown! I absolutely adored his music with the Talking Heads and was at that time getting lost in his boundless genre defying discography. I drove down to the venue the day tickets went on sale planing to get the best seats possible within the lowest price tier. When I asked the attendant what the best seats in the $45 range was he provided me with a few options some which were excellent balcony seats. However he said that if I wanted I could get front row center seats to the show for $75. I have rarely spent that much money on a ticket, but I simply couldn't resist and I am absolutely thrilled that I didn't. It was one of the most memorable shows of my life! David Byrne was touring with a group of first class musicians all coming from very different backgrounds. Some were classically trained horn players, some played the trumpet and saxophone in Jazz groups, even one of the musicians played in the indie rock group Yellow Ostrich. All the members on stage including David Byrne were dressed in matching white uniforms. Their sense of timing was utterly impeccable. All of the musicians were perfectly coordinated both in music and their choreographed routines. On one song they marched in a circle around David Byrne while he sung and played his guitar, and sometimes the musicians would disperse on stage in a turbid manner alternatively playing their instruments in an unpredictable order. It was simply astonishing to see all these performers work together with such precession.

I was lucky to catch David Byrne on his Love This Giant tour because he was accompanied by another amazing performer, St. Vincent. They played their collaborative album in its entirety and on top of that they alternated songs from their own catalogue. St. Vincent tracks like "Cruel," "The Party" and "Cheerleader" were performed. During "Cheerleader" David Byrne lay down on his side and would lift up his head and his back when ever the song reached its apex. David Byrne played the fantastic club hit "Burning Down the House" which inspired a hoard of people to start dancing and coerce others to join in. He also performed some selections from his verbose solo career, such as the infectiously catchy "Strange Overtones" a song on his album 'Everything That Will Happen Will Happen Today" an album on which he worked with Brian Eno.

David Byrne has dabbled in sampling, world music, theatrical productions such as the "Catherine Wheel" and "Here Lies Love" and even film scores ("Last Emperor" and "Big Love"). Hands down he has one of the most exciting and unique careers in pop music history and his tours often tend to mirror this sentiment.

Tuesday 19th June, Hammersmith Odeon, London, David Byrne. Day three of my three gigs in three days and easily the most anticipated one with a not really knowing what we are going to experience sort of expectation.

This will not be a long review as the dictionary is yet to invent enough superlatives to accurately describe what we witnessed. I have been to more than 750 gigs or concerts and nothing prepared me for the audio visual display tonight. Stunning, gorgeous, moving, spell binding, enigmatic, thought provoking, hip swaying might describe this but really do not touch the sides. Quite simply the best show I have ever seen. (Please don’t necessarily confuse this with best gig as this was not a gig in any conventional terms.)

For those that don’t know it’s a two hour choreographed show without the usual stage setup, no fixed amps, monitors, or instruments. Everything and everyone is mobile with all instruments attached to the performers. All performers are bedecked in matching grey suits that support the military precision of the show.

The set begins with Byrne alone with a table and a brain and then he is slowly joined by his fellow artistes through silver beaded curtains that surround the stage. What follows is a moving mass of bodies acting in unison belting out heavily percussed Talking Heads hits and David Byrne solo classics. Yes there’s guitar, bass, keys and drums but there’s also probably about twenty other instruments from all around the world used throughout the evening.

There is no let up for the band or Byrne for the whole evening and it’s exhausting just watching. There is so much going on that Byrne who would usually dominate your attention is another cog in this utopian big wheel.

The light show complements the sparse set perfectly but none more so than the shadow puppets effects later in the set that shows you don’t need to spend thousands on lasers to achieve stunning results when a single floor based light will suffice.

Whilst I think the new album is a little hit miss on record, live the songs are transformed but its obviously the oldies that really rock the Odeon (I will never call it the Apollo) tonight.

There is little point trying to pin down a highlight. Although that said, it’s quite easy really, it started at 8.30 and went on until 10.30

A stunning show that hits six on the five star review scale.

Keep on keeping on y’all

Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has gone on to have an equally successful, critically acclaimed career of his own which crosses the disciplines of music, film and theatre. The Scottish new wave musician has always been at the cutting edge of performance and his live show is considered to be one of the most captivating and engaging experiences on the circuit.

When a musician reaches a level where he can be also be considered an artist it allows freedom in terms of performance and David Byrne definitely uses this mentality onstage. His latest dual tour of the UK with St. Vincent promoting 'Love This Giant' was considered a triumph. The two eccentrics stand centre stage bathed in eerie part light as they conduct a rich brass section through the avant garde stylings of 'Lightning' and 'Weekend In The Dust' with surpassable proficiency. Byrne demonstrates his incredible skill with the guitar during complex instrumentals during a cover of Annie's 'Cheerleader'. The audience leaves the venue in a state of shocked contentment, discussing and interpreting what they had seen as if leaving a gallery or a theatre.

Dressed in his famous ensemble, looking dapper in an all-white suit, and with a fabulous array of backing singers and musicians crowding the stage around him, David Byrne looks exactly like the musical icon we know him to be. Byrne stands in front of them all, guitar in hand and microphone to lips, and belts out his classics to the audience’s delight. With his silver fox hair, dapper suit and the spotlight hitting him at all the right angles, Byrne burns just as bright as he always has. He has a natural stage presence that owes to years and years of experience and having confidence in bucket loads. The former frontman of Talking Heads sang mostly his own, solo songs, including ‘Lazy’, ‘Who’, ‘Interview’ and ‘This Must Be The Place’. His song ‘Strange Overtones’ got the entire crowd on their feet, dancing away to the catchy tune and clapping their hands wildly. The entire stage was like a circus, in the best possible away! The backing dancers with their perfected routine, the different array of instruments… let’s just say that Byrne puts on one hell of a performance.

Sony centre Toronto show was a great night!! ten musicians and 2 performance art dancers. I really enjoyed every moment. Beaded curtains on a brightly lit matted stage had my eyes focused on everyone and the sound that was happening was amasing. No speakers or equipment were visible, the drumming was shared by many and playing in sync was amazing. It was musical as well as a visual show..I remember talking heads playing at the kingswood in the 80's, they were great live and david byrne is still able to put on a great show..I loved it! The crowd was singing very loudly along with most of the songs.

Good vibe. I appreciate that the songs were different from the cd making them longer and jamming here and there. I love live music.

Next shows Car seat headrest, simple minds, bob moses.

can't wait. Support your fav. artist !!!

David Byrne and his percussive band of fantastically choreographed and constantly moving musician/singers totally captivated and energized a packed house of mostly senior citizens last night at Sony Centre. Unfortunately for Barb (in a wheel chair), the crowd was on its feet from the opening song and for the entire two hour show. That didn't stop her from thoroughly enjoying the music and watching sometimes through the camera display of the guy standing on her left. Mixing biting and culturally observant songs from the recently released Utopia album with Talking Heads hits (including my fave Life During Wartime) this is a must see show if, as both Don Henley and Keb Mo' sing"she just wants to dance."

outstanding show..the amazing stage, lighting, dancing and of course David and his wonderful music and voice. It was the most entertaining, action packed concert I have ever seen and I have seen hundreds of concerts. His creativity of the entire show was top notch. The stage was empty except for the 12 musicians in marching band form. Each carried their instruments from the drums, percussion, keyboards etc. The lighting was like no other show. All they needed to do to better the show was to subtract out the annoying warm-up band.David did so many good new songs and many originals. The happy spirit of each band member set the tone.David is truly amazing and progressive.

It was great to hear David Byrne live on stage. I missed him 30 years ago while with the Talking Heads in Miami. The theatrics were fun to watch and the playing of ALL the instruments coming together made for a great show

One thing I must say though was that the political BS at the end makes me not want to give him any more of my hard earned $$ ever again. You want people to say the names of known thugs but I didn’t hear the saying of names for the officers that did not make it back home to their loved ones because they were assasinated sometimes just sitting in their patrol cars. If I would have known about the ending I would have never spent the $$ on the show.

I have been a longtime fan of David Byrne. I did not know what to expect since I did not see the tour he did based on this show. The first 30-40 minutes I had a smile on my face knowing this was going to be great. His voice is amazing. The stage production, though sparse was visually great, sitting in the mezzanine which I usually do was a place to be considering the choreographing of the production. The songs were great, he did several of his older tunes. Within minutes of the shows ending, I decided to come again and this timetake my husband, son and his wife. I am just in awe of David's talent. I enjoyed the show immensely.

One hundred and five minutes of pure quality!

David Byrne is a genius and his Utopia show has to be one of the best concerts of all times.

As soon as David's voice expels out into the auditorium David has his audience in his hands.wether the piece was new or old David brought down the house.

It was a privilege to be part of the audience to watch a performance of excellence from all members on the stage and I truly believe that this is a tour that will go down in the history of music of our time.

The audience was a mix of Byrne veterans to guys of 2018 who, understand that going to a David Byrne concert really does make sense.

Byrne is already scheduled to play a string of sold-out U.S. shows this March alongside several South American dates. When he announced this first run, Byrne said the set list would feature new songs and Talking Heads classics. “This is the most ambitious show I’ve done since the shows that were filmed for Stop Making Sense , so fingers crossed,” the musician said.

If You Love ‘Stop Making Sense,’ Don’t Miss David Byrne’s ‘American Utopia’

The timeless Jonathan Demme film is not David Byrne's only time collaborating with an auteur filmmaker, and the results are similarly awe-inspiring.

The Big Picture

• David Byrne's concert film American Utopia is a life-affirming call for unity and a reflection on a nation in crisis, with Byrne using the platform to make political statements about voting rights and police violence.
• Spike Lee's direction in the film creates a uniquely intimate experience, with cinematographer Ellen Kuras emphasizing the humanity and vulnerability of the performances through dynamic visuals.
• Byrne's music, both solo and Talking Heads' greatest hits, brings empathy, optimism, and innovative reinterpretations, while his outlook on the need for positive change injects hope into tumultuous times. "American Utopia" is a celebration that is both joyous and reflective.

David Byrne , front-man of the iconic American rock band Talking Heads , has never been the type of artist to stay in one lane. In addition to his work with Talking Heads, he has an impressive catalog of solo music and collaborations with artists like St. Vincent , Brian Eno , and most recently with indie sensation Mitski on their Academy Award-nominated song written for the Best Picture-winning Everything Everywhere All At Once . Byrne navigates the world of the arts outside of rock and pop music as well, with published books and even a feature directorial credit on a strange and endearing independent film called True Stories .

Most notably, Byrne collaborated with Jonathan Demme to bring the Talking Heads stage tour to the big screen with the brilliant concert film Stop Making Sense in 1984. Unlike many modern concert films which interweave archival footage, interviews, and narration into the mix between live performances, Stop Making Sense is 88 minutes of pure musical bliss that never steers away from the performance itself. This remains one of the most iconic concert films of all time, which is hopefully introduced to many new audiences thanks to A24 acquiring the film for redistribution.

What people may not realize is that Byrne embarked on a similar project only a few years ago, teaming up with another visionary filmmaker Spike Lee to bring his recent stage show to HBO. The film, American Utopia , sees Byrne and a company of musicians and dancers performing solo work, collaborative work, and some of Talking Heads' greatest hits in a visionary new form, while speaking between numbers about a variety of sociopolitical and philosophical concepts that inspired the music.

'American Utopia' is a Life-Affirming Call for Unity and a Reflection on a Nation in Crisis

Byrne takes the stage in a gray suit, with a model of a human brain in hand, to sing about the different regions that connect thoughts and feelings central to the human experience. He is eventually joined by eleven performers with wireless instruments enabling them to move freely around the stage. At one point in the show, Byrne introduces each member and celebrates the varied backgrounds of the people involved with the show, some of whom are immigrants. Byrne, an immigrant himself, moved to the United States from Scotland as a child, and envisions a true "American Utopia" as a place that celebrates variances in culture and background.

Byrne's art is not often political in a provocative manner, which is a stark contrast to Spike Lee who, when Mookie threw the trash can through Sal's pizzeria in his 1989 masterwork Do The Right Thing , invited a firestorm of criticism and outrage. Byrne's messaging, framed through Lee's vision as a filmmaker creates a fascinating and powerful series of sounds and images that bring out unbridled excitement in some moments and sobering reflection in others. Fundamentally, a utopia cannot be achieved without an acknowledgment of what is not working in a given society. Byrne uses the platform offered by this show to make statements about political subjects such as voting rights and police violence, including a heart-pounding and emotional rendition of a Janelle Monáe song that names and honors many people who were killed because of police brutality.

RELATED: You May Ask Yourself, What's So Special About Talking Heads' 'Stop Making Sense?'

Lee's direction, for one of the few instances where the film cuts away from the performance on stage, turns to families holding up photographs and information about their loved ones whose lives were claimed by police violence. It is a gut punch and a much-needed reminder that while we must celebrate and uplift one another, we must also express the capacity to collectively mourn and take action in addressing issues that bring harm.

David Byrne and Spike Lee Create a Uniquely Intimate Concert Film

The audience is sparsely seen in American Utopia , and the stage is bare save for the performers in their uniform gray suits. This may not seem like a visually stimulating watch at home, but Lee's direction closes the distance created by seeing the show on a TV screen instead of as part of the live audience. The movements and lighting offer a dynamic quality without lavish set design or bold costuming.

Frequent collaborator Ellen Kuras worked as a cinematographer on Lee's narrative features such as He Got Game and the documentary 4 Little Girls . Kuras crafts images that emphasize the humanity and vulnerability of the performances. Overhead shots spotlight the rhythmic movements of the performers, while close-ups reveal emotional depth in Byrne's performance that even the live audience is not near enough to fully appreciate. Byrne is playing to the audience in the crowd, but Kuras puts the viewer at home in a unique vantage point which is enough to argue the case for the concert film to make a major comeback in American movie culture .

Byrne, for his part, brings exactly what fans and admirers have come to love his work for. Brimming with empathy & optimism and armed with a dynamic musical quality, Byrne blends some of his solo work with some of Talking Heads' greatest hits. The strength of these classic rock tunes is in how Byrne continually finds ways to redefine them. Talking Heads fans are no strangers to hits such as "Once in a Lifetime" or "This Must Be The Place" being available in multiple official recordings, some live and some in studio. Byrne brings a new life to these songs, proving that even when he plays the hits he will find a way to do something innovative. The solo material is where the political and social messaging takes flight, as American Utopia shares the name of an album Byrne released in 2018 which inspired the show itself.

The music is unifying, and the filmmaking emphasizes a uniquely celebratory, thoughtful, and dynamic production that should develop an iconic status alongside Stop Making Sense . Byrne's outlook on the need for a positive, actionable change in American culture injects a hopeful attitude into tumultuous times.

David Byrne’s ‘American Utopia’ tour might be the most ambitious and impressive live show of all time

Friday 14 June 2018, New Theatre Oxford

Often pegged as a bookish pop prodigy, David Byrne ’s decision to kick off his UK ‘American Utopia’ tour in Oxford seems somewhat apt. The queues are packed with pasty, balding nerds who look fresh from a library, and the comfortable seats of the New Theatre play host to more than a few dodgy backs. It takes mere minutes for that starched-shirt atmosphere to lift, though, as people leap to their feet for second track ‘Lazy’, the usually prim and proper theatre setting instead coming off like a packed-out disco.

Before that, Byrne takes to the stage alone, the stage curtain dropping and revealing the former Talking Heads man sat at a table. A frame of gold beads surrounding the stage is slowly hoisted up – a pared-back stage set-up which will come into its own as the night progresses – as he leaps to his feet, plastic human brain in hand, addressing the crowd directly and dissecting the fake organ, all to the pensive storytelling of ‘Here’. It’s a showy start, setting the tone for an evening that deconstructs the very notion of what a concert can offer.

Byrne is joined tonight by a 12-piece live band, all of whom are barefooted, suited-up free agents, roaming around the stage with their instruments attached to their hips. At times stringently choreographed, and at others seemingly scurrying about the stage of their own accord, they all wear a beaming grin-near permanently. They duck in and out of that aforementioned curtain of gold beads, changing position like American football players enacting a particularly methodical play. It’s a show that blurs the lines between gig and theatre, poetry and dance; a full spectrum of culture under one roof. It’s all impossibly slick, no one putting a foot out of line, and yet never feels robotic – the whole thing feels achingly human.

That feeling is perhaps best evoked by the moments of pure euphoria that greet tracks like Talking Heads classic ‘Once In A Lifetime’ and ‘American Utopia’’s dancefloor-busting lead single ‘Everybody’s Coming To My House’. As the crowd throw their hands in the air and inhibitions to the sky, the band stick to the script, swapping places and moving around the stage in ruler-straight lines. Only breaking from the routine a few times – one to encourage his audience to vote in local elections; another to remark on the decidedly NSFW video for his next track, Fatboy Slim and Dizzee Rascal co-write ‘Toe Jam’ – it’s a stunning display of craftsmanship from start to finish.

As the night progresses, the set-up morphs somewhat. Jazzy Talking Heads track ‘Blind’ sees Byrne’s bandmates wheel a single, illuminated lamp to the front of the stage, which casts huge shadows of the performers on the back of the stage, creating a dizzying change in perspective. A set-closing ‘Burning Down The House’, meanwhile, sees each outing of that anthemic titular hook paired with flashes of crimson light which flood the stage. The band return for the first of two encores, which ends with the stunning, percussive Talking Heads hit ‘The Great Curve’, snarling guitar solo and all. It’s a moment that results in one of the night’s most touching breaks from the script, as Byrne’s guitarist skips off post-solo, only to be greeted with a sneaky, congratulatory fist-bump from one of her bandmates stood at the side of the stage.

Ending the evening on a more cerebral note, Byrne and band return to the stage a second time, stood in a stony-faced straight line. “This is a song by Janelle Monae – she sung it at the Washington Women’s March,” Byrne announces, “With her blessing, we have continued to update it. Sadly, it is as relevant now as it was then. You may not know the names in this song, but Google them – you’ll soon find out very quickly.” What follows is a breathtaking rendition of Monae’s ‘Hell You Talmbout’, a drum-backed, chanted list of black Americans killed by police. It’s a captivating end – one that brings several in the audience near to tears – and evidence that Byrne’s recent peddling of a modern ‘American Utopia’ was always very sarcastic. A brilliant end to a show like no other, it’s proof that David Byrne can do sombre numbers as well as he does celebratory ones, and that the ‘American Utopia’ tour may just be the best live show of all time.
