Cohen, Jonathan (2023-08-16). "Talking Heads Reuniting For 'Stop Making Sense' Screening In Toronto". Spin. Stop Making Sense is considered by many critics to be one of the greatest concert films of all time, and a cult classic. [4] The film is a pioneering example of the use of early digital audio techniques. In 2021, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

There’s another issue: “Psycho Killer” on the film and the 1999 edition starts with “Hi, I got a tape I wanna play,” while the original LP/CD/cassette release and the 2023 remaster use another version without the iconic quote and with a different 808 pattern. Apparently the band wanted a balance of the 1984 LP mixes and the 1999 remixes/edits. Why the inconsistency between the LP and the film? I’m not sure.Christgau, Robert (October 30, 1984).

The band performs 18 songs in Stop Making Sense, including its recent single at the time, “Burning Down The House.” That summer, the song was in heavy rotation on radio and MTV, helping the song become the band’s first top 10 hit in America. It was, however, a different song from Speaking in Tongues that was destined to deliver one of the film’s signature moments. Byrne would perform “Girlfriend Is Better” wearing his now iconic, oversized business suit inspired by costumes worn in traditional Japanese theater. For good measure, a picture of him in the suit also graces the album cover.
