Speaking of Albums That Should Exist! | DAVID BYRNE at BBC 4 - Union Chapel 2002

David Byrne - BBC Four Sessions, Union Chapel, London, 12-2002

Paul says : Here's the only BBC concert by David Byrne that I could find. If you know of any others, please let me know.

This is from a TV program, apparently called "BBC Four Sessions," that ran for a few years and generally was edited down to hour-long episodes (I think). But for some reason, we seem to have gotten a full concert this time, judging by the length.

The sound quality is excellent, despite it all being unreleased. And if you want, you can find the video of the full concert on YouTube. 

I've already posted a Byrne concert from 2001, which is only a year earlier. But this one is pretty different, mainly due to the fact that he was backed by a full orchestra for the concert. So he picked songs that worked well for that, including some from his Talking Heads years.

This album is an hour and 21 minutes long.
