So you're determined to somehow catch Taylor Swift and Talking Heads in concert in the same week. We hope you're not thinking about shattering the fabric of time, when instead you can simply experience the power of the concert film with theatrical releases of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Stop Making Sense, on the big screen one after the other.
David Byrne walks up to the mic first in Stop Making Sense, in theaters in late September/early October courtesy A24. The Jonathan Demme-directed concert film has seen a restoration for its 40th anniversary, capturing the Talking Heads in a full-bore melody attack with on-stage calisthenics, funky grooves and funkier moves, and the iconic big suit.
You'll also find some of the biggest names in music: Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Janis Joplin, Springsteen, Wu-Tang Clan, and more. The majority of films included are pure concert docs – recordings of live shows with little fuss and extraneous material.
