The critic reviews have been coming out in Boston the last day or two and they've been just gushing over this show.
Saw it tonight and can't add much to what's already been written in this thread. It's a thorough joy from beginning to end. Not much of a narrative arc, but there's a thematic arc that we're guided through by Byrne's narration.
I'd be curious if it has the same appeal to people unfamiliar with (or not enamored with) Byrne's work, but I thought this was a delight.
Had a very different experience than previous attendee-posters. The phones and tablets were out in full force, despite the pre-show admonition, and the ushers did nothing to stop it. Given the concert vibe, people dancing in their seats, leaving mid-song, etc., the technology wasn't that distracting. I grew up with the Talking Heads, so for me it was an enjoyable, if predictable, reminisce. But there's nothing remotely theatrical, or special, about this. The band is tight, the dancers are perfect! Maybe I'm old, but trotting out Janelle Monae's "Hell You Talmbout", after recounting he'd asked her permission to perform it, felt a wee precious.
