Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno Tour
The Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno Tour is a 2008–2009 promotional concert tour of music co-written by David Byrne and Brian Eno with performances by Byrne. In addition to being a retrospective of the duo's collaborations, the tour promoted the album ''Everything That Happens Will Happen Today''.
==Material==
Byrne assembled a band to tour for the album, performing music throughout the latter half of 2008 and early 2009 across North America, Europe, and Australasia. He hired more singers than he had on previous tours to reproduce the complex vocal harmonies of the album〔 and was inspired to bring along dancers after seeing Sufjan Stevens promote the album ''Illinois''〔 as well as the Japanese films ''Funky Forest'' and ''The Taste of Tea''.〔 Byrne was initially uninvolved in the choreography, but made more suggestions as the tour went on and after he saw a live performance by Deerhoof that incorporated dancing with instruments.〔 He began booking tour dates before the album was completed〔 and continued writing his book ''The Bicycle Diaries'' throughout the tour.〔
In planning the set lists for the tour, Byrne initially considered only promoting this album,〔 but decided to assemble songs this album as well as their previous collaborations,〔 including the Talking Heads albums ''More Songs About Buildings and Food'', ''Fear of Music'', and ''Remain in Light'' and Byrne's ''The Catherine Wheel'' soundtrack. By playing music from all of their collaborations, Byrne hoped to "draw a line linking this new material with what we did 30 years ago"〔 with the goal of clarifying the connection between all of the duo's previous work.〔 In reviewing the music, he found that "()here might be more continuity than I imagined, which I hope is going to work in my favor."〔 Although he was invited to participate〔 and early reports indicated that would, Eno chose to not tour,〔 letting Byrne decide how to present this music live.〔
A month after releasing the album, Byrne was skeptical of market saturation, claiming "I sense that a lot of people don't know we have a record out" and hoped to counterbalance that ignorance with this tour. At the same time, the main goal of the performance was not promotion but the show itself.〔
