But I was amazed at how well the movie was done, not a lot of random scene changes; but a careful focus on aspects of the performance and staging (and the big suit). I'd forgotten how amazing David Byrne was in the physical aspects of the show, not just "dancing around" but honestly performance art. And of course integrated with the music.
There was so much that had never been done before -- probably because it didn't occur to anyone to do them. That was made them special.

Metallica's Through The Never concert film was similarly shot over several nights, but stuck to the same clothes and guitars per song. You can tell it's pieced together from different nights because there will be a closeup of Lars on the drums, then in wide shots there's no cameraman nearby.
Taylor Swift's Reputation Tour show on Netflix does the same; there are closeups of her clearly playing to a Steadicam in front of her, then wide shots have no one there.
Hamilton on Mouse+ really pushes it with two live performances augmented by a third session where they shot the close-ups and reverse angles which would've required cameras on stage which no one paid $1000 to scalpers for tix was going to put up with.

They reissued the soundtrack with ALL 16 of the movie's songs some time back, vastly improving on the original release's 9-song track listing which shuffled the order around, edited down run times on the LP, and ditched the three songs that introduced the rest of the band after David Byrne's solo acoustic "Psycho Killer" - "Heaven" adding Tina Weymouth; "Thank You For Sending Me An Angel" adding Chris Franz; "Found A Job" adding Jerry Harrison - which denies listeners the buildup until the entire 9-piece band is engaged for the raucous "Burning Down The House."
If this was on Vudu or iTunes, I'd be all over it; but Amazon makes it a sad pass.
