Trivia
If you look carefully, you will notice small spheres on the shoulders of all of the suits. These are tiny BlackTrax infrared transmitters which enable the lights to automatically track performers as they move around the stage. When they leave the stage to march through the theatre, you will notice some of these trackers glowing slightly.

Citas
David Byrne: [addressing the audience] My name is David Byrne.
[the audience responds with thunderous applause and cheers]
David Byrne: Thank you. I can't take any credit for that. I had no choice in the matter.

Créditos curiosos
The end credits are shown on half the screen, while on the other half the band is seen cycling through New York. The music played is 'Everybody's Coming To My House' in the version by Vocal Jazz Ensemble of the Detroit School of Arts.

Most probably one of the best concert movies i have ever seen

David Byrne is well known to everybody who was born at least half a century ago. As the frontman of Talking Heads his genius literally was the core of the band. This movie shows that his brilliance has not withered yet. American Utopia is a well chosen name for a time document that alternates fantastic music with witty comments on life in general and American life specifically. The world has changed a lot the last 50 years, but a lot of things have stayed the same and the peculiar way David Byrne is looking to the world has essentially not changed either, and that is a good thing. What is remarkable is that the vibe, the rythm, the choreography and lighting for almost every song is unique. David is always center stage, but the rest of the dancers and musicians are equally important. In one word; a musical masterpiece.
