Page 1 of 3 Once a Talking Head, David Byrne has established himself as prolific yet astonishingly diverse artist. Over the years he has released a number of solo records, won an Oscar for the soundtrack to Bertolucci's historical epic 'Last Emperor', directed films himself and run his own world music label Luaka Bop. Nowadays Byrne's music incorporates mesmerizing tunes often entirely performed on strings and brass and introspective lyrics. The performance in Saint-Petersburg was delayed due to sound equipment truck being withheld at the Russian-Finnish border. When the show finally kicked off albeit a couple of hours late, the audience at once realized that it had been worth waiting for since it turned out to be a true feast of energetic and professional musicianship.
