Is Stop Making Sense the best concert film ever made, or is it overhyped?

The Last Waltz is the only other concert film that can compete against it.

I haven't seen Halber Mensch yet, found a VHS of it and been waiting to repair my player and stick it on my CRT for the ultimate industrial experience
Pink Floyd's Live At Pompeii is also amazing, saw it in the biggest IMAX here and I wish I was stoned for it

Dude, just hype reasonably what you like and let 'best thing ever' bait comments for the plebs.

Early in the Talking Heads documentary Stop Making Sense, David Byrne does a little shimmy directly in front of the camera while performing. It's a centered medium shot with vanishing architecture in the bg, a single male performer performing for the camera. It's brief, but if you know how to see (as I do), you see it:

As soon as I saw the shot, I realized that this was the previous composition that Demme based Buffalo Bill's dance shot on. Although the two shots have very different incidental props (or lack thereof), their architecture and content are the same: a man dancing and mugging for the camera which is directly before him. It helps that Byrne was performing the song "Psycho Killer", which also connects the two shots.
