David Byrne at Mountain Winery tonight.

As though you all couldn't tell by the number of phone posts tonight, we saw David Byrne tonight.

He started off slow, but built up lots of energy.

No intermission, just 2 hours of music. Some Talking Heads, some solo stuff, some random other stuff (opera? Jimi Hendrix?)

Actually, I don't know why, but I can't read or transcribe the phone posts.

Is it the format? LJ uses OGG format for better compression.

WinAmp in Windows can play them.
iTunes on Macs has a plug in.

Listening to clips of David Byrne in concert was much more exciting than when [livejournal.com profile] ass_ saw Mamma Mia (the Abba musical) in Las Vegas. I actually recognized the songs without having to search for the song titles based on lyrics! (:

I last heard him on Morning Edition last November discussing the Once In A Lifetime compilation. I love NPR. There's a link to his extended interview with Bob Edwards on the feature page for the story.

Incidentally, "Once in a Lifetime" was Himself's and my song.

My sister gave me her copy of Rei Momo cause she thought it was too weird. I LOVE IT. ?Track 2, I think, Make Believe Mambo rules.
