David Byrne Kicked Off Tour This Week -- Here's the Setlist

On Tuesday, Talking Head David Byrne kicked off his tour in support of his new CD, which is a collaboration with Brian Eno called Everything that Happens Will Happen Today. (Listen to and get the album here.) Brooklynvegan has the setlist, which I reposted after the jump. Still stoked -- maybe even more so now -- for the October 18 Fox show. I'm totally going to break my "no dancing at the fancy theater" rule for this concert, I think, especially since songs like this are being played....
