Starting to Make Sense
by Deano on 4/29/25Orpheum Theater - MadisonRating: 5 out of 5The Jonathan Demme's concert documentary "Stop Making Sense"captures the musical wonder of the Talking Heads in its own artful way. The whole movie pulses with music and choreography of the funkiest high quality. The band had played the set list over 150 times in the previous year and had a group of three perfect performances which were used for the film. Guitarist/Keyboardist, Jerry Harrison introduced the movie and afterwards took thoughtful audience questions revealing not only his own sweet humbleness but expanding even the deepest fan's knowledge of what they had just seen (e.g. black tape was used to cover instruments brand names so as not to distract from the visual aesthetic). The digital presentation was high quality as well as the sound in at the Orpheum Theater in Madison, WI.
