Harrison says the film still holds up today: “To me, Stop Making Sense has remained relevant because the staging and lighting techniques could have been created in a much earlier time period. For example, Vari-Lights, lights with motors to re-aim them, had just come into vogue. Had we used them, there would have been a timestamp on the film, and it eventually would have felt dated… The absence of interviews, combined with the elegant and timeless lighting, created a film that can be watched over and over.” Ebert, Roger (January 1, 1984).

Today, David Byrne says it’s interesting that this album was – for many people – an introduction to Talking Heads: “We had done a live album before this, but coupled with the film, and with the improved mixes and sound quality, this record reached a whole new audience.

The band perform 18 songs in Stop Making Sense, including its recent single at the time, Burning Down The House. That summer, the song was in heavy rotation on radio and MTV, helping the song become the band’s first top 10 hit in America. It was, however, a different song from Speaking in Tongues that was destined to deliver one of the film’s signature moments. Byrne would perform Girlfriend Is Better wearing his now-iconic, oversized business suit inspired by costumes worn in traditional Japanese theater. For good measure, a picture of him in the suit also graces the album cover. This pressing was done with a dark green coloured vinyl.

Almost forty years on, and it’s still considered the greatest musical performance ever captured, witnessed in its enduring legacy, Jonathan Demme’s subsequent fame found in Philadelphia and The Silence of the Lambs, a renewed interest following its incoming theatrical run, and its persisting parodies. One such spoof we collectively love at Norman is the ‘Final Transmission’ episode of Documentary Now!, where American comic Fred Armisen leads the final concert from new wave group Test Pattern. Featuring original songs written in the style of the Talking Heads, a segue parodying Tom Waits’ Big Time, and interview clips made up of spiels from inflated egos, it’s made with such sharp attention to detail that it’s clear it comes from a place of adoration, not of lampooning.
