Watch David Byrne play “Psycho Killer” for the first time in 19 years

David Byrne began his tour supporting his new album Who Is The Sky? at Pittsburgh’s Benedum Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday night (the original first show, scheduled for Providence, RI’s Veterans Memorial Auditorium on Sunday, was postponed to October). Like his elaborately choreographed and movement-focused American Utopia tour, which became a Broadway show and HBO special, the new show is another choreographed, visual affair, with vivid backdrops projected behind Byrne and the blue-suited musicians and dancers who join him onstage.

Byrne debuted some Who Is The Sky? material on Tuesday night, and his cover of Paramore’s “Hard Times,” and also like on the Americna Utopia tour, he is reached back into Talking Heads’ discography to play beloved classics like “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody),” “Once in a Lifetime,” “Burning Down the House,” and more. On Tuesday night, he also did “Psycho Killer” for the first time in 19 years, and you can watch attendee-taken video of that, and see Tuesday night’s setlist below.

Byrne’s tour hits NYC on September 30 and October 1, 10, and 11 at Radio City Music Hall, and you can see all his upcoming dates (which include his newly announced Coachella appearance) below, and pick up Who is The Sky? and more of his albums on vinyl in the BV shop.
