Talking Heads
Stop Making Sense - Deluxe Edition (2024 Repress)
Sire / Rhino
The greatest concert ever put to celluloid, expanded with extra tracks in a package as huge as that iconic suit.
As fresh as the day David Byrne walked out on stage with a tape deck and a guitar and Jonathan Demme started rolling. Still makes absolute sense. Maybe more than ever.
When it arrived in September 1984, 'Stop Making Sense' was an artistic and commercial triumph. The film had people dancing in theatre aisles, and the soundtrack sold over two million copies. The inspiration for 'Stop Making Sense' came when director Jonathan Demme saw Talking Heads perform during the band’s 1983 tour for 'Speaking in Tongues'. Afterward, he approached them with the idea of making the show into a concert film. They agreed and worked together over the next few months to finalize the details. Ultimately, Demme filmed three shows at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983 to create 'Stop Making Sense'.
