RIDE RISE ROAR is a live concert film featuring David Byrne, available now on DVD and Blu-Ray. Here’s some info from the press release:
Ride Rise Roar combines exclusive behind-the-scenes footage with onstage action from Byrne’s recent world tour. Including band audition footage, rehearsals and interviews with Byrne and the key players in his group, the film explores the inner workings of a complex and theatrical live presentation along with the creative process behind the creation of the live show. Ride Rise Roar demonstrates the eclectic artist’s idiosyncratic vision with live performance footage displaying Byrne’s trademark fusion of pop, soul, funk, world, rock and modern dance. The track list spans Byrne’s illustrious career, from his early CBGB days to his pioneering work with Brian Eno. Byrne’s performances during the tour were hailed as “brilliant” by the Boston Globeand “the most open-hearted singing of his career” by The Washington Post.

Oh shoot, I can’t think of the name, but I can see the picture clearly. The face shot with the hat on and multi-color borders. It was so 80’s. Burning Down the House was on it. I had the cassette tape.
