One of our favorite albums of 2012 was the collaborative effort between David Byrne and St. Vincent dubbed “Love This Giant.” Not only did the pair put together a wonderful album, but they enlisted a badass band to back them on a lengthy tour and worked all sorts of choreography into the mix. Thanks to NPR Music, we’ve got a professionally shot taste of said tour.
Filmed this past September at the Strathmore Music Hall in Bethesda, Maryland, Byrne and St. Vincent run through a collection of tunes from the album, songs from their solo repertoires and the Talking Heads classic Burning Down The House. Here’s nearly 40 killer minutes from that show…
