Anecdotes
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.

Générique farfelu

Just....wow

This blew me away. I'm a huge fan of Byrne and he's only gotten better with age. This was so incredible, it was inspiring, moving, inclusive, and hopeful. The music, the instruments, the musicians, the dancing...all of it was just so unbelievably great. Can't say enough good things about this.
