Just got back from the David Byrne show in Auckland. Got a heck of a surprise when David started talking about how Japan has national treasures and then said "you have a national treasure who live just down the road"....and then on walked Neil in a white outfit like David.
Neil did a song with David, though I've got no idea what it was. Sorry  . The lyrics had something to do with heaven from what I can remember. |

I really wanted to see David Byrne when he was in Brissie... Sadly I did not have the funds for my ticket and I went to see some family that weekend too. *sighs*

Wow - how fantastic would that have been! Saw the David Byrne concert here in Sydney last week and it was excellent, but if it had been graced by Neil's presence too...like Chook said - OH MY GOD...
Long may the mountain ring to the sound of her laughter... |

Wow, that's fantastic! Saw David Byrne the other night, what a show. Would have gone to both, but the second night clashed with the second Leonard Cohen concert.
Anyone who has any info or links etc about Neil joining David Byrne on stage, feel free to PM me! http://www.scoop.co.nz/multimedia/tv/entertainment/18434.html http://dragnew.wordpress.com/2009/02/15/david-byrne/ crimpies |

Fantastic!
I saw the David Byrne at Hamer Hall in Melbourne last Tuesday. Absolutely top show, music, dancing and choreography. Unique among the rock shows at the moment. |

Black_and_White did you happen to take any photos? Your photos from 7 Worlds Collide were excellent!
Seems like Neil is having a awesome summer |

That is great! Right before I read the headline "Neil performs with David Byrne", my lovely wife was singing "I Can Feel My Lifetime Piling Up"- a Talking Heads song, ya know. And I've been listening to a lot of Talking Heads lately, particularly the Eno years (in anticipation of the new U2 album). Heaven is an awesome song. Very Eno. C'mon Youtube for some footage of Byrne/Finn.....hmmm. That has a nice ring to it. ANOTHER Neil side project? One can dream.

Fantastic!
It's so great to see Neil partnering up with so many talented people. Too bad it wasn't the big white suit from Stop Making Sense. |

I saw David Byrne on this latest tour and it was AMAZING! Heaven is one of my favorite T Heads songs. I would have loved to have seen this!!!
Holy Smoke! |

Yeah, FG, I was thinking the same thing. I imagine that's how the connection was made. I checked Youtube to see if anyone had posted visuals but so far, no luck. Links to YT are okay, right? |

Sorry Pez, didn't take my camera to the venue. The security there is *really* strict about their camera policy. There was a guy in front of me with camera and the security would shine a laser pointer in his eyes every time they caught him taking a picture. There was someone behind me with an SLR with a zoom lens and she got told off several times by security mid show (and right in front of Liam, Elroy and Don McGlashan too ) |

I found a photo of Neil onstage with David here:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mDZ2...ne-and-neil-finn.jpg The blog in which it's posted: http://mandy-spot.blogspot.com...vid-byrne-rocks.html So Neil didn't play an instrument then? Is that actually a suit - looks like a white shirt and trousers to me... at least he was spared the tutu  |
