I do and I don't. It would be great, but I'm always a bit nervous when older people in bands (they are 73 to 76 years old) do reunions. Inevitably, a lot of people will complain about how they aren't as good as they used to be. Like when I saw them in August of '82 (coked out and practicality jumping out of my balcony seat), any time he wasn't at the mic, David was running fast laps around the stage. He might be in good shape for his age now, but not like then!
In any case, I wish them the best.
I saw David Byrne maybe five years ago. He was absolutely fantastic. Not running laps but dancing barefoot in a suit with a great (and huge) band. And he sounded great.
I had second row for that and loved it. Was a religious experience for me.
Just scored front row for his new tour Very excited.

I had 2nd row and worth every penny. He puts on a great act.
DB knows most fans would flock to see the complete lineup! I saw them at their height of popularity ill pass on him, I don’t like seeing solo shows by artists that front bands and I’m sure he puts in a great show but ill pass
