Cat. no: LPNW5664
Format: LP2 Red Vinyl
Barcode: 607396566419
Release Date: 18 Nov 2022
Genre: Rock

This show, captured on November 28, 2001, came on the heels of his hit single, Like Humans Do and the release of the album Look Into The Eyeball, which was another typically eclectic musical stew refecting a variety of styles and infuences, from Philly soul to a DC Go-Go inspired groove and his frst-ever Spanish composition, Desconocido Soy

Critics at the time called it his best work in years, and his performance on the Austin City Limits stage shows why. Joined by Austin's own eclectic tango ensemble Tosca, Byrne takes us down many different musical roads in his ACL debut.

Of course, besides the brilliant songwriter and performer that he is, he's also an accomplished performance artist, photographer, web journalist, flm writer / director, composer of motion picture soundtracks, and founder of his own world music label, Luaka Bop Records.

He also has a collection of Grammys, Oscars and Golden Globes on his mantel. His music may be complex and poetic, but he makes no bones about his ultimate intent: I want to move people to dance and cry at the same time." - Terry Lickona (Producer Austin City Limits ®). 2LP pressed on Red Color Vinyl.
