Jerry Harrison kicks off tour built primarily around music from “Remain in Light,” the iconic Talking Heads album considered by many critics to be the band’s magnum opus.
It had been a long day of music at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival this past October, but there was one last band I wanted to see before heading home: Marin’s own Jerry Harrison, a former member of the Talking Heads, and King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew playing songs from the Talking Heads’ groundbreaking 1980 album “Remain in Light.”
“On that tour, there was a joy that came over the audience that’s palpable,” says Harrison, sinking into a plush couch in the spacious living room of his home in Mill Valley. “When people get excited enough it has a nearly religious feeling. It doesn’t exactly feel like a concert. It feels like something else, like reconnecting you to your core, to your youth.”
For them, the highlight of that 1980 tour was a concert in Rome’s Palazzo dello Sport. The video of that show has become a cult classic for Talking Heads fans, an effervescent performance whose exuberant spirit Harrison aims to recapture with this new band more than four decades later. “We took a little break and there were all these people at the door listening in,” Harrison says. “They were all saying, ‘Wait a minute, what’s going on? Are you guys getting back together?’ Even back in 2019, we knew this was going to be a success.”Born into an artistic family in Milwaukee, Harrison had never planned to be a professional musician.
Drummer Chris Frantz was hurt, saying he’d learned about the breakup in the Los Angeles Times. In response to a question from Anderson Cooper on a recent broadcast of CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Byne admitted that “it is very possible I did not handle it as best I could.”Harrison, who describes his relationship with Byrne and his former bandmates as “cordial,” could sense that the end was coming. The band hadn’t toured or performed since 1985.
In the early ’90s, Harrison, Weymouth and Frantz toured for a time as the Shrunken Heads, releasing an album in 1996. But Byrne took legal action to stop them, accusing them of what he called “a pretty obvious attempt to cash in on the Talking Heads name.”
