Stop Making Sense



It's incredible. Nothing comes close. The way in which it builds from starting with Byrne to, song by song, a bigger and bigger line up, is genius.
The energy is great too, especially Life During Wartime when they're all legging about.
Went to the pictures to see the re-release a couple of weeks ago - I f***ing love it.

Not seen it since it came out, was excellent from the distant memory though.
 
I like Monterey Pop as a concert film, directed by Pennebacker, although of course it’s a festival over a weekend so it’s a bit of a documentary rather than just a gig. It takes some beating for me, really captures the time.

But yes, Stop Making Sense is a good shout.
