Stop Making Sense was the first feature-length documentary effort of filmmaker Jonathan Demme. The director's subject is The Talking Heads, a new-wave/pop-rock group comprised of David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison. The film was made during a three-day concert gig at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. What emerges on screen says as much about director Demme's taste and sensitivity as it does about the group and its visionary leader Byrne. Though some of the material in Stop Making Sense overlaps with the Talking Heads' earlier concert film The Name of This Band is Talking Heads, one never gets the feeling of by-the-numbers repetition; the group's energy is such that it virtually explodes from the screen. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The sound of the Moog Synthesizer is one of the most instantly recognizable in the musical world, and in this live performance captured at the B.B. King Blues Club in New York City a whole host of talented performers gather to pay tribute to Robert Moog and his unique invention. These are the musicians who know there way around a keyboard, and as Keith Emerson, Jordan Rudess, Jan Hammer, Bernie Worrell, and Roger O'Donnell gather onstage to show their skills, the energy is infectious. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
