I recognize the Stop Making Sense version of “Life During Wartime” as the real version.
Video highlights:
- David Byrne strutting around the stage at the beginning, quietly confident about everything that’s about to happen.
- The second-verse dance, starting around 1:36, which I swear to god I will learn before I die.
- Around 3:19 when Alex Weir’s cocaine kicks in.
One of the most bad ass things, this song this clip. I could dig through the Earth listening to this.
The entirety of this movie should be required viewing for everyone.
JAMZ!
