David Byrne has a long history of staging elaborate live shows,...So when we learned he wanted to have more than a dozen performers at the Tiny Desk, playing everything from cello, saxophone and marimba to a Brazilian timbau and zabumba (not to mention various guitars and keys), we weren't sure we'd be able to fit it all in.
With his incredibly talented musicians accompanying him, Byrne performed songs from both his solo work as well as those he wrote with Talking Heads, including "Everybody Laughs", "Don't Be Like That", "(Nothing But) Flowers", and "Life During Wartime".
