Don't know if anyone else went but the Baltimore show tonight was fantastic. He's such a great performer.

His show in 2001 at the 9:30 club is the best show I saw in the years I lived in and out Washington, between 2000 and 2005. Close second place to Super Furry Animals and Grandaddy in 2003 or 2004.

Didn't catch the 9:30 show, but saw two others on that tour. This show in Baltimore was as good as anything I've seen him do live. It's very reminiscent of the 'Stop Making Sense' tour, but totally its own thing. It looks like they've delisted the DC date on TM, but I hope they bring it back. Also, the Baltimore audience was so into it, I thought I was at a U2 concert or something.

saw him in Santiago in 2004 and it was pretty good then. Like good wine, he's getting better with age. Last night show in Baltimore was almost perfect, the dancers were graciously awkward, and the band played pretty tight. Great concert.

Yeah...I was thinking Stop Making Sense II.

The Baltimore show was amazing!  Warner Theater is showing a David Byrne show on the 9th of November, only problem that it is much more expensive than Baltimore.
