The brass! The choreography! The St Vincent shimmy! And most importantly- the songs! I always knew the Byrne/Clark combo would deliver, but this was truly one of the most magnificent gigs I've seen in recent times. The “Love Your Giant” stuff was good and all, much more vibrant live than on record, but it was the renditions of Talking Heads and St Vincent material, augmented by the most joyous 9-piece brass section ever, that made this a performance for the ages. I mean, seriously, “Marrow” followed by “This Must Be The Place”? And “Cruel” into “Road To Nowhere”? Truly incredible.
