Deep in your Amazon Prime app this film is hidden waiting for you to discover it. My top 2 concert films of all time are Stop Making Sense, and this one that recently replaced "X: The Unheard Music" after decades of being my second favorite concert film Yeah, I am old as dirt, but I still love great music and great performances and there is no greater rock n roll stage presence today than Matt Healy.
At least when I went to see Stop Making Sense the first time, I loved the director, Jonathan Demme. I also went to two stops on that tour. So I was really excited when it was released.
I had never heard of James Barnes, and did not expect much from this film, but he is to be commended for his direction. He makes you feel you are in a front row seat at the Garden. What more can you ask for? I saw this tour live as well, at the Mission Ballroom in Denver a few weeks after this date, nice to be able to go back to it and enjoy a past concert recorded on something other than someone's Iphone.
