Another amazing concert for David Byrne. I knew he could not top the American Utopia concerts, but his Who is the Sky? tour is remarkable, an extension of the American Utopia tour and probably its equal..
For this tour the format is similar, all the musicians are untethered and roam the stage throughout the show. The setlist was comprised of an equal amount of David Byrne solo songs and Talking Heads songs, and one cover, which he had recorded recently.
There were a few members of his American Utopia band this time around, and the remaining musicians were wonderful. They were introduced in two very unique way, First during Independence Day, a highlight, where all the musicians names were projected in front of them on the stage floor and also on the screen behind them, and then during Burning Down the House when all the musicians names and their instruments were projected on the back wall..
Mr. Byrne once again could have come out and performed a bunch of his great songs and it would have been a great concert, but as always he created a show which started with a nod to our planet, our "Heaven" as he called it, and brought us on a journey of the good, the bad, the beautiful and ugly that we deal with daily.
God bless David Byrne and his always creative visions.
