    Nice mix tbh - setlist.fm - don't want to spoil it for them that rather not know - setlist seems unchanging at the moment, and I hope it stays, or at least keep the likes of

    aaaaah f**k it, was intent on not buying any more gig tickets this year but cannot pass this up.

    hearing the spoiler song (preceding post) with the rest of the other talking heads stuff he did with the brass ensemble at EP many moons ago was one of the greatest gig going pleasures I've ever had.

    Was at the gig on Friday night in Glasgow.

    Genuinely, if you are even half a fan or sort of thinking about going,just get the tickets now.

    It was a sensational night. The venue, the set list, the concept, the " band " , everything was amazing.

    Now I will admit to being a huge fan but in my book it was nearly as good as the Concert Hall gig in 2009. For me, the Eno era of Talking heads which formed the majority of set for that 2009 gig will never be bettered by any band..............ever :-) * .

    Can't wait for October.

    Whoever said that the GCT or the NCH would have been perfect for this is bang on but don't just not go because of the venue.

    * May be exaggerating slightly.

    Picked up tickets for Block L at 49.50 + 6.20 booking a couple of weeks ago, really looking forward to this now. Saw some previews of the American show and it looks fantastic. Would have loved something nearer the stage, but hey ho.

    Was that the gig where he came out in the anatomy skin suit at the end to do Psycho Killer? If so, also one of my all time favourite gigs.

    Seats are always released within two or three days of most gigs. They're usually returned tickets from corporates, production, sponsors or the artist themselves.

    A friend is selling 2 for below cost price. PM me for details.

    An e-mail from Ticketmaster now says "David Byrne 8PM sharp", and no mention of Benjamin Clementine, who was due to support. Maybe he's not doing the Dublin show. Or else it's an error. Either way, I'm just mentioning it in case some people were assuming a 9:00 stage time for David Byrne. You don't want to miss the start. Some of you people could just about miss it.

    thanks, but I got sorted with the new release from Ticketmaster last night....

    actually, whats the policy on taking photos in 3 Arena does anyone know? DB actively encouraged people to take photos at the NCH gig, and I got some great photos that night, so was hoping the same would apply, but will 3 Arena staff stop photos being taken?

    You could just sit back, leave the phone in the pocket and enjoy the show.
