So today my teacher showed this clip in film class.
During the clip, classmates started laughing at David Byrne's movements. At the same time I was thinking, "damn, that's exactly what I do/how I feel when I'm by listening to/playing music.... in my room, in the car, I get it, it looks so like he's having so much fun, oh man I want to play some music right now."
The clip really made my day. I need to pick up this dvd.

Thanks, it is making my evening
This was when David his groove on - you should have seen him around the time of 'Fear Of Music'! Like above and below his waist were two different people. I saw them 4 times around this time, including 2 of the shows being filmed. But I'd forgotten how intimate this song was played. I'm just gettting up; this is such a great way to start the day.
What was the reason your teacher was showing it?
Oh man, so cool! I actually had the same thought and went to listen to it again this morning. The lecture was about documentary/Cinema Verité. We also watched part of this and this.
I remember Bryne once saying that the way he moves is just the music "hitting" him. His moves are merely a reaction.
I'm still soaking up his latest endevour with him and Brian Eno. Diggin' it so far...
Sounds like an interesting teacher- Vertov and the Maysels one expects; Demme not so much.
