Playback Presents a live re-enactment of the Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense at Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast. The performance includes classics like 'Psycho Killer' and 'Burning Down the House'.
You’ve watched the film in its original version and stunning 4K re-release. You've bought the album and danced at the screenings. Now, four decades on from its original release, Playback bring you a live re-enactment of Talking Heads’ classic concert film Stop Making Sense. Floor lamp? Check. Big suit? Check. A tape they’d like to play? Check. Come, watch and dance the night away as the band blasts through classics like “Psycho Killer”, “Once in a Lifetime”, “Burning Down the House” and “This Must Be the Place”. After the last chord of "Crosseyed and Painless" has faded away, stay for encores selected from among Talking Heads' greatest hits. There's truly something for everyone!
