David Byrne - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: BBC Four Sessions, Union Chapel, London, Britain, 7-2002

Here's the second of two BBC concerts by David Byrne that I could find. If you know of any others, please let me know.

This is from a TV program, called "BBC Four Sessions," that ran for a few years and generally was edited down to hour-long episodes. But this is a full concert this time, judging by the length, because it was released on DVD only in 1994.

The sound quality is excellent.. And if you want, you can find the DVD video of the full concert on YouTube. (Last I checked, anyway.) 

I've already posted a Byrne concert from 2001, which is only a year earlier. But this one is pretty different, mainly due to the fact that he was backed by a full orchestra for the concert. So he picked songs that worked well for that, including some from his Talking Heads years.

This album is an hour and 21 minutes long.

UPDATE: On January 6, 2026, I updated the mp3 download file. The music is exactly the same, but I renamed the album after finding an earlier BBC concert he performed. I also found out the concert took place in July 2002, not November as I'd thought. So that changed in the title as well. (I'm sure the November month was wrong because it was broadcast on the BBC for the first time in September 2002.)
