I saw them on the tour - where Byrne was in the big white coat - I think it was '84, in Binghamton, NY... (consults wiki)... ok, yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the Speaking in Tongues tour...
...that last part of the song where the bass and the organ-synth kicks in huge - I remember - it was sublime thunder; the notes went through you like you were tissue paper.
Fay, thanks! I was thinking of these guys as I was writing that.

I love this song. David Byrne is so quirky!

Cool! That's how I picture him, with that white jacket and the huge shoulder pads! I've never seen them, sounds live they were good live performers??
