RIDE, RISE, ROAR is a concert film featuring David Byrne that blends riveting onstage performances with intimate details of the creative collaborations that make the music and performance happen. Shot with multiple cameras over several concerts during the 08/09 tour, the film blends the energy and charisma of classic Talking Heads with the heartfelt pathos of David Byrne and Brian Enos most recent collaboration. Between the songs, the film achieves an unprecedented intimacy with David Byrne and the band, documenting behind-the-scenes auditions, rehearsals, and interviews with key players while revealing the creative process that led to the show's unique fusion of pop music and modern dance. RIDE, RISE, ROAR celebrates Byrnes extensive career as a musician and testifies to the creativity that keeps him going today. Review: At times, even better than Stop Making Sense - During the tour which is the subject of this documentary (and for those who have complained, it -is- a documentary, not a concert film), Jon Pareles, chief music critic for The New York Times, wrote a review after having seen the Radio City Music Hall show. In it, Pareles commented that he thought the dancers in the show were a distraction. David Byrne, for his part, wrote a scathing rebuttal in his blog, in which he said, among other things, "I guess 30 years from now (Pareles)'ll figure out what this show was about." In Ride, Rise Roar, Byrne says that when he came up with the idea to use dancers as part of the show, he wasn't sure how the audience would react, but he was looking forward to finding out. Having seen three of the tour's shows at the time, I didn't fully get what the dancers were about, but thought the shows were great. As you watch RRR, Byrne, the choreographers, the dancers, and the musicians all take turns explaining how the show was conceptually put together song by song. By the end you do get a much better sense of "what this show was about". This is a great documentary. The concert footage is at times more effective than Stop Making Sense, and the picture and sound quality are nothing short of unbelievable. Sit back, crank the volume up on your surround sound system, and let the creative force that is David Byrne launch a full on assault on your senses. Review: Great Music, Performance, & Insights into the creative process - Outstanding film. Byrne is terrific and the performances were captivating. The unique blend of music and modern dance made for an audiovisual feast. Concert footage brought you into the performance in ways not possible if attended live. As much as I enjoyed the performances, my favorite parts were the insights into the creative process and glimpses into the performers' off-stage personalities. If you like concert films, you will love Ride, Rise, Roar!

Great innovative music and dancing - annoying intervals
The music of David Byrne is funky, innovative, rhythmic and engaging. He approaches his music as an art form and therefore keen to explore innovative and expressive dance routines to complement the music. The choreography is fascinating how the two lady choreographers melded the dance in with the music. Even the backup singers were drawn in although not comfortable at times. The program is mixed with interviews and insights as to how the production was all pulled together. This information is interesting but I would have preferred it to have been separated as bonus material and not interspersed between each song. Also, if you removed the interviews the program is only a tad over 1 hour in length which makes the production quite short. Nevertheless it was still worth buying the blu-ray.

best Byrne since the 80's
I love this DVD! I am a huge Talking Heads fan, and I was impressed by Byrne's great selection of TH songs... Air, Great Curve, Houses in Motion, I Zimbra, and Heaven make it worth the price. I love some of the newer stuff too, especially Life Is Long! Nice sound quality, and solid filming. My only complaint is about the length. They could have fit at least 5 more sings on the disc. I know other bands, like Phish, put 3 hours of music on one DVD. If you love the "The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads" CDs, you will love this DVD. I would recommend this DVD over the Austin City Limits if you have to choose between the two.

David Byrne's Ride,Rise,Roar.
I think that the decision to bookend each song with documentary excerpts was a blunder.Not only is the impact of the performances reduced, but it also becomes somewhat tiresome. In addition some of the song selections are poor. For example, 'Road to Nowhere' is not a B.Eno/D.Byrne track, and 'Life during Wartime' is mediocre in this performance. I can only assume they were included because they are recognisable to more people. However, there are some great performances, 'Houses in motion', 'Once in a lifetime' and 'I Feel My Stuff'

Biggest disappointment!!
This should have been a 4 or 5 star video. David Byrne put a lot of creativity and effort into making an acoustical and visual delight. From what I could get out of the video, it would have been visually wonderful. The dancers were young, graceful and exuberant. The musicians and singers were well choreographed too. However the cameras and editing were apparently done by people suffering from extreme ADHD. The camera cut back and forth and all over. Camera shots were pieced together without any concern for the stage production. One could almost never see what was actually happening. Byrne's Stop Making Sense video set the high water mark for live concert videos. The cameras and editing supported the music and stage productions. It was thrilling! Fred Astaire had it right when he always insisted that his dance numbers showed him full length without editing in the middle of the dance. Who ever did this should go back to film school and learn how to do it right. I am surprised David Byrne allowed this to be done to his work. BUY THE CD AND FORGET THE VIDEO.

ブルーレイなので問題無く再生できました。 内容はバーンのソロ最新作とトーキングヘッズの定番曲を 素敵なバックダンサーのダンスと一緒に楽しめる、とても 楽しいステージでした。ただ曲間にバーンやスタッフの 解説が入るので字幕が入る国内版の方が良かったかも・・・

Por el precio que pagué, este DVD merecía mis 5 estrellas: es un buen concierto, un buen show y una buena edición. Lo que no obsta para decir que la frescura en las interpretaciones se le empieza a escapar de las manos a David Byrne. Su presencia sigue siendo magnética, las coreografías son muy originales, la banda es tremenda, y las canciones son en general estupendas (todas de discos de David en solitario o con los Talking Heads, pero siempre de colaboraciones con Brian Eno, que es co-autor del disco que se presentaba en esta gira). Pero si uno vuelve a ver Stop Making Sense...
O**Z
Great DVD from the ex-Talking Heads frontman. Every music fan should have Stop Making Sense by his former band, then as The Name Of This Band Is... is pretty much impossible to find on DVD, why not buy this DVD that chronicles the work of Byrne with Brian Eno. It feature some classics like: Once In A Lifetime, Road To Nowhere, Burning Down The House and Life During Wartime. If you're a music fan the you will be familiar with David Byrne, so buy this. It is different from a straight forward band performance, featuring dancers and supporting musicians. David Byrne is a legend, BUY, sit back, relax and enjoy!!!

リージョナル１（米国など）なので パソコンはコード変更すればみられますが、 DVDプレーヤーではみられないかも。要注意です。

The word genius is much misused. I think David Byrne is as close as it gets in the world of popular music (and the visual arts where he is also very active) I was fortunate to see two concerts on this tour, at Bristol and Barcelona. We were even lucky enough to attend the backstage after-gig party at Barcelona as VIP guests of one of the backing band. I met my hero, shook his hand, and was a speechless nerd. Not only does this DVD capture the superb live performances, the snips in between give a great insight into the process behind writing some of the music, collaborating with Brian Eno, and putting the tour together with choreographers etc.. I am not a bloke, at 54, who dances. I danced to this infectious,irresistible music played live by as tight a band as you will get. The vocal harmonies in particular are SUPERB, and the rhythmn section of Paul Frazier and Mauro Refesco is rock solid. From his start with Talking Heads at CBGB's (now sadly gone) in New York, through all his solo work Byrne has maintained a consistently high standard across a huge range of musical styles. No-one, IMHO, has maintained this standard over 4 decades as Byrne has managed (even the Beatles put some rubbish out individually!) Treat yourself and buy this.
