I think that the author of that article may have gotten carried away because Eno was so crucial in may other cases or, as with the Talking Heads and David Bowie, exerted such a strong influence. But like Bowie, Byrne is a complete artist in his own right who would have made it even if Eno had nothing to do with it. Eno, as usual, was more a catalyst, helping the Talking Heads to extrapolate and elaborate on thier own unique vision. P.S. I hate stadium concerts too. - this too shall pass Serge Sretschinsky
