"Stop Making Sense" Talking Heads Concert Documentary

  • The Newtown Theatre 120 North State Street Newtown, PA 18940 (map)

Directed by Jonathan Demme and recently re-released in theaters, this critically acclaimed 1984 film captures the frantic energy and artsy groove of Talking Heads in concert at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre.

In the film, David Byrne, first appears on an empty stage, armed with only an acoustic guitar, and is gradually joined by bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz, keyboardist Jerry Harrison and a cadre of backup singers as they perform the band’s hits, culminating in an iconic performance featuring Byrne in an enormous suit.
