We aren’t (shouldn’t) rank things - but favorite Mania ?’
Mine has to be Mania 19.
In the modern era, I think 31 is quite good. 39 was pretty incredible as well.
Of the classic era, I have a soft spot for X. Bret v Owen as an opener was a clinic. The first televised ladder match between Shawn and Razor set such an indelible legacy. And the ending with Owen saying “what about me?” when Yoko finally dropped the belt to Bret is an all timer.
With the exception of the first record, I’d go so far as to say all LCD cover art is bad. Sound of silver mid at best.
Their merch is not great either. Such cheap material. Their most recent merchandise from their recent NY run is probably the best I’ve seen in over a decade
Can you explain why? - sorry man, about to finish the film. Very interested in these guys now
David Byrne played solo in 2018, it was the most magical sunset Outdoor set on the fields (and my favourite outdoor set to go back to that convo)
At the end of the set he and his band played Burning Down The House, everyone flipped out and loved it then thought the set was over and began moving to the next thing, and David quietly said "Wait, don't leave" and proceeded to end the set with a cover of Janelle Monae's Hell You Talmbout (a song listing many of the past poc killed in suspect manner). It was powerful and sad how he begged the fair-weather folks who just wanted to hear Talking Heads songs to please stay so he could go off with a message
I loved that set so much
He closed the show I saw on tour with that as well. I don't actually remember the "wait, don't leave," (I was W1, not sure which you saw) but that was the kind of set where me and my friends had to stand around and spend a minute picking our jaws back up off the ground before figuring out what was next.

I didn't even look this time as it's been so bad each time prior. Probably just gonna make my own on a comfort color shirt

W2; that's exactly what I had to do, couldn't move for a couple of minutes

I can’t fucking believe I got to hear Slippery People and This Must Be The Plaxe for the first time live on the same day I saw Beychellla.
I'm camp "it's coming today" mostly because of the waitlist closing with a re-open date of Monday the 15th. that has to mean something imo. would only panic if they re-open the waitlist again
Who here saw Jeff Mangum in 2012 and NMH in 2014? How did the two compare? (I only saw NMH)
Probably the best comparison I can think of to if Talking Heads ended up somehow playing
..Also, where did the Talking Heads talk even come from? I can't remember if there was even a single actual rumor about them. Probably missed it
Jerry Harrison is following Coachella on insta, but not sure when that happened. And it could mean more that he's taking his Remain in Light show there, or possibly nothing at all lol.
