10/10 show. One of the most fun, bizarre, captivating experiences I’ve had at any show. Brilliantly done!
David Byrne was amazing! He played Talking Heads and his own new music and every song made me smile. His band was so much fun to watch! One of the best concerts I’ve seen!
After all these years, David Byrne still knows how to give an unforgettable and amazing performance. Recommended for all Talking Heads fans, and fans of great music in general.
Great show, stage was set up to be wild on the eyes. Fantastic musicians, everyone is barefoot and of course they play some of the old and some of the new. Happy to finally be able to say I saw David Byrne live, such amazing energy!
Show was awesome! So different and rad! He plays for about 2 hours and no intermission.
I've seen David Byrne in concert three times. I drove 150+ miles for this one. He never disappoints! American Utopia was superb in its staging, delivery and creative concept. He continues to amaze!
David Byrne was so amazing, literally brought me to tears, I would have never thought I’d have the opportunity to see him live and it was such a cool experience. His voice and his funkiness has not changed. The set list was perfect, a good mix of new and older music. His band mates were super cool and funky too and you can tell they have a lot of chemistry on stage playing together. We waited outside by the buses after the show and he was nice enough to come over and say hey and sign our stuff. What an insane feeling to be face to face with a musical legend and GENIUS.
Nothing like what I imagined it would be,but totally David Byrne! From the moment he started to sing the entire crowd jumped up and stayed up throughout the show. 3 encores! Incredible show.
David Byrne was amazing, like I knew he would be! His quirkeyness makes his shows very entertaining. And the venue was perfect because it’s small.
I’m going to start with the end, for which I nearly deducted a star. The second encore was over the top political and forced upon the crowd a narrative I do not agree with/feel is accurate The show was so incredible though I couldn’t not give it 5 stars. David Byrne is at once brilliant, weird and a musical genius. The instrumentation was spectacular, the kinetic movement and energy never stopped. The sound in the PAC was perfect He played 5-6 Talking Heads favorites including Same as it ever was that hooked me on them back in the early years . Great Burning Down The House rendition Then some older solo things and his current American Utopia Just fantastic
MOST AMAZING SHOW!! HE IS A GENIUS. I WILL NEVER MISS ANOTHER SHOW
This was one of the most amazing productions I have ever seen. The choreography was spot all and the fact that the musicians carried each instrument - it was performance art.
Awesome performance by David Byrne. Would love to see this show again even.
Without a doubt an absolutely outstanding performance !!! The only thing better then the front row seats for my birthday was that they were for David Byrne !!!! David and his musicians were absolutely flawless . The set list , the venue , the correography, .... simply perfect !!! Thank u !!!
David Byrne is an icon. The show was filled with Talking Heads hits as well as his songs. There was constant movement in choreography and a great visual display. Everyone was standing and rocking out by the second song all the way till the last song.
This was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. My husband and I drove after work from Baltimore in crappy traffic wondering if this would be worth it? Amazing! We would drive it again. I was a Talking Heads fan having seen them in the 70’s at the U of MD. My husband is 85 and had no idea what I was getting him into. He really loved it! So there you have it; the young-ish and old-ish both blown away! Kept us going on our 2 hour drive home. Fabulous! This is what artists do when they grow up !
Awesome show. Great music, phenomenal band, and the most artistically innovative stage show of the century. Unforgettable, nothing like it. Minds completely blown. Go see this show, no matter where you have to travel.
I’ve seen DB numerous times this one ranks truly as one of the best . Never disappointed.
Amazing show!! An absolute must see!(& hear) Very engaging!!!
David Byrne’s show was a good mix of his new work and Talking Heads songs. You could see his art school influence at play in the way he conceived the show visually. It worked well perhaps even better if you were a little farther away which was a nice bonus to those of us further back. The sound was great. You could distinctly hear the different sounds, instruments and voices- very good acoustics.
