Man! Wasn't sure what to expect when I saw David Byrne as the musical guest for SNL. This was an AMAZING version of an already fantastic song. I had to rewind and watch several times to make sure the band was actually playing....and they were. Awesome. Best musical performance on SNL that I've seen in a long time.....a long time....
That was incredibly cool. It's good when the artist is still holding on and possibly even adding to the integrity of their material all of these years later when they could have easily just mailed it in. He brought something valid to the performance. I like it.
Dude, so glad you saw that, and thanks for posting it. He got in on a couple of skits too, love that guy.
At about 3:25 when that other drummer and the lady with the crash cymbals come out, I thought it was Tina Weymouth and Chris Franz. How cool would that have been?
That would have been amazing. I would have died. It would also have been cool to have an identical performance with Fred Armisen doing his David Byrne right alongside David Byrne.
I'm sure I've posted this before but every now and then I just gotta hear it... and dedicated to the corona virus...
