David Byrne
Kings Theatre
September 17
There are some things (musically) you want so bad, that you’ll take it any way you can get it. I want a Led Zeppelin reunion, and I will never get one, but at least I saw Robert Plant solo. The next thing I want (besides an ABBA reunion, which I also won’t get, but hey, I did once see Benny Andersson play in a London park!) is a Talking Heads reunion, and that aint never happening, ever. And so you go for the next best thing, but for some reason, I never thought to see David Byrne play live
My bad, cause he good, SO GOOD. Excellent. Brilliant. Amazing. Astounding. Show of the year. Show of the decade. Probably. Check back with me in 2019 or 2020 or 2021 (hard to remember when a decade ends). But seriously – the show that David Byrne and his marching band (no time for standing still) put on is a real beauty pageant – and the winner is the viewer/listener! WOW. Bless you David. You even made your current work sound juss as vital as the stuff we all came to hear. Timely! Timeless!  Thank you for your time!
But, c’mon, no love for Little Creatures? How do you not end a show with ‘Road To Nowhere‘? (or begin a show with it?) And what of the most underloved, but perhaps greatest soundtrack of ALL TIME – True Stories? Next time around? Yay or nay, count me in, cause with you, we’re on a road to somewhere!
