Original members of Talking Heads, Jerry Harrison & Adrian Belew, along with Cool Cool Cool played an incredible show at the Capitol Theatre on Sunday, June 25, filled with Talking Heads favorites on a tour highlighting Remain in Light. Cool Cool Cool performed a set of original music before accompanying Jerry & Adrian for a set of Talking Heads songs.
Cool Cool Cool started the night off with some original songs which proved to be tight and groovy. Leading the way on vocals were Shira Elias & Sammi Garett, who provided a very upbeat and fun feel. They had great stage presence and crowd control. Notably this horns section is always incredibly tight and spectacular, it consists of Chris Brouwers, Greg Sanderson, & Josh Schwartz who also took lead vocals on a few songs.
The band opened up with “Psycho Killer” which sent the place dancing. The set included fan favorites such as “Crosseyed & Painless,” “Cities,” “Once in a Lifetime,” and concluded with “Take Me To The River.” The show was high energy filled with masterful musicianship and highly psychedelic peaks in true Talking Heads Style.
The audience applauded, begging for more. The band returned to play an incredible encore which included “Drugs” & “The Great Curve.” This was the last stop of an lengthy tour which spanned many “Cities” and was truly “Once in a Lifetime”.
