Drummer Chris Frantz introduced the Tom Tom Club (Talking Heads minus David Byrne) then after they did _Genius of Love_ de-introduced TTC. Byrne also introduced the band during an extended version of _Take Me to the River_ and said “Thank you; are there any questions?” during the applause after _Life During Wartime_. The last was [apparently](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Making_Sense#Set_lists) looped. > [@Dogzilla](#): > > Allegro non Troppo I was going to say there is a live action segment between each musical piece, “The Presenter” having a lot to say. However, there seems to be [two versions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegro_Non_Troppo) of the film, one with just the music.
