“We didn’t want any gimmicks. No split screens. No interviews. That would be too Spinal Tap”: Talking Heads on the making of Stop Making Sense

Talking Heads, 2023.

Talking Heads have been talking about the upcoming remastered version of their Stop Making Sense concert film and their music with Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show.

In an 11-minute interview they also touched on recording every album in a different location and how they met Jonathan Demme, the director of Stop Making Sense. Fallon also showed footage of David Byrne practising his quirky dance moves in preparation for the gig which was recorded over four nights at Los Angeles Pantages Theatre in December 1983.
