David Byrne spelar Brian Eno

The payoff came two-thirds of the way through the song (\"Burning Down The House\"). Moving in\nunison, Byrne and his backups swayed toward the right side of the\nstage, then turned and started moving in the opposite direction. Behind\nthem, from the wings, came a huge group of dancers--mostly female but\nwith a few males scattered in--all wearing tutus. Meanwhile, Byrne and\nhis group were almost at the left side. Just before reaching the end of\nthe stage, they turned back, and out came a new group of tutu'd dancers\nfrom that side, following them and falling in with the first group.\nThen all the dancers lined up and started doing Rockette kicks behind\nByrne and his band, who were belting out the song's climax.

It was something no group of chart-topping 25-year-olds could pull\noff. There was a generosity, a confidence, and a mature sense not only\nof style but of place and history that made it work. Byrne was playing\nwith the idea of Radio City Music Hall, but also paying tribute to it.
