i wonder if anyone will be visiting david on stage?
yonder does a sweet ‘girlfriend is better’… to see yonder and david byrne pull some kind of collaboration would be magical!
they could do some sort of snowonthepines>girlfriendisbetter>snowonthepines mix… ahhh that would be sweet…
does anyone know if yonder does any other talking heads songs? i bet they would if they could get david byrne to come and sing with them…
getting excited thinking about it for sure :thumbsup
This also could be pretty good fodder for a beer bet at the KOTO beer tent. The potential issue is timing since Byrne plays late Thursday night and I’m not sure the Yonder boys would be making a Thu night main stage appearance…but we can hope. :thumbsup
Byrne is scheduled to play at Red Rocks that saturday, so he won’t be sticking around for the Yonder Festi show…so if a collaboration is to happen, i would expect it Wednesday night at the Conference Center. I would love to hear ‘Girlfriend is Better’ with Byrne and Yonder… :thumbsup
“IF” it even happens, it all depends on how long he wants to hangout in Telluride…but I can’t see him staying til’ late Friday night to make an appearance and then making the trip to Morrison for a Red Rocks show…I stand firm with a Conference center appearance. Whether he appears at the Conf. Center or Sheridan, it will be awesome, and at least with the Conference center the under 21’s will be able to witness a rare and neat collaboration, I would sure be pissed if I couldn’t see this because I was under 21.
I’d agree that a Conference Center collaboration with Byrne and Yonder would be absolutely siiiick! However, according to his tour dates, it looks like he’ll be in Santa Fe on Wed night. In theory a sit in would be awesome, but I’m a bit skeptical folks. Maybe one of the Yonder boys will sit in with Byrne on his set???
hmm, nice find! I did not know he is in Santa Fe Wed. night…i guess we won’t know til it all plays out. Either way, it’s Telluride and it’s Bluegrass…nothing can go wrong! :cheers
Personally I’d like to see Bela come out and play because of the international influences that he shares with David. Both musicians have traveled around the world to play with incredible instrumentalists on 6 continents… Yonder’s fun but I think they are by far the most overrated band at the Festival…No offense!
But if I could have it my way? Byrne comes out with Adrian Belew on the guitar, Tina Weymouth on some backup. Bela helping , and Sammy addin’ his special touch. Then throw in the guy on the banjo-uke from the Horseflies, and play the first side of ‘My Life in the Bush of Ghosts’ followed by Almost any 'Heads tunes…
PS- Shawn Colvin sings ‘Home’ from an old Heads album…maybe he’ll call her up as well…
