Yeah.
There is enough inventory that the plan is evolving into seeing who is selling what seats outside and plan B the box office.

Oh I agree. I'm old enough to have seen Talking Heads a number of times but last saw him 8 or 9 years ago at a club in DC.
Funny David story. His mom was in the audience at that DC show as he is from the area. So he introduces the sang "And She Was" by saying something like "Mom please don't be mad; but this next one was inspired by an LSD trip".
I saw David Byrne back in 2004 in New London when he was on tour with the Tosca Strings in support of his Grown Backwards album. One of my favorite concerts of all time.

Might be a once in a lifetime opportunity. But I hear it is the same as it ever was.

Decided last minute to go to the show and man, am I glad I went. Got a seat in the middle of the first few rows of 209, but moved further back and center to where I can see a more center view of the stage and there was more space for standing and dancing. Great call since the production was excellent and needed to be seen in its entirety.
That was actually my first concert at the Oakdale and the crowd was in good spirits. Loved the unhinged 12-piece band, all in suits and marching band-esque formations. Also liked how his two backup singers were also his backup dancers. Art at its highest quality.

Good for you, nice to hear.
Last time I saw him was biking past each other in Greenwich Village 20 years ago.
Before that, 1982 & 1983 with Talking Heads at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, both shows recorded onto cassette. Anyone else here go to either show or tour?

Caught the tour last Spring in Waterbury at the Palace and its been my favorite show I've seen all year.
Would of gone again last night but had tickets long planned for Jamiroquai at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens.
The Jamiroquai show took over my #1 spot.
Wowza!

More than what I'm paying to see Paul Simon next week.

Great show last night. Last time was him and his band so seeing this full production was tremendous. Reminded a bit of Stop Making Sense tour that I saw at the old Wollman Rink in Central Park.

Yep. Great show. Really well-conceived in all respects imo. Great band, too.
Unless it's a Phish or Dead show, it generally takes a lot to keep a Connecticut concert crowd on their feet and dancing the entire show. He did.
