Jam of the Day: Stop Making Sense

“Hi. I’ve got a tape I want to play for you.”

The simple start, a skinny confused man walks onto the stage by himself with a guitar and a boom box and makes the above announcement, would never let on to what you’re about to experience from David Byrne and The Talking Heads. The above statement never leads you to believe that you’ll see this:

Rumor has it there was a run on cocaine after the supply needed for this performance

Or this:

So much cocaine

Or then be moved to tears by a man dancing with a lamp:

Yes, I said tears.

If you’ve got the time to kill, check out the full video. You will not be disappointed. Otherwise, check out the full live album and ask yourself the question, “why would I ever listen to the studio versions again?”
