This is what happens when your favorite eighties song played on AB and appears in person on stage, Fans will go berserk on it, Now that's real music 🎶 and real fans enjoy great music.
Ernie, are you implying that CC did all the arranging, too? Do you think KV had some suggestions to the bass line? KV is still the most gorgeous woman in rock.
@@gurzair998 I dunno I’ve seen her do quite well dancing around and singing while wearing heels at least half of their sets if you’ve seen the rest of their Boston 82 footage....she was known to take her shoes off of course too.
This is great for a number of reasons. 1st This band was pure energy with no dance rehearsals, 2. They captured the innocence of the 80s perfectly 3. They had no pretense or ego here. Just a great moment to catch for tv eternity.
We got the beat being chosen as the song to open Fast Times at Ridgemont High was huge for that first Go Go's album. Those 2 just went hand-in-hand in 1982.
Early 80s Southern California! Although it actually hurts just looking at her, that singing goddess of beautiful shimmering youth sure knows how to move to the grooves in high heels! They got the beat!
I remember this when it first aired. The audience was going crazy!! We Got the Beat peaked at #2.🎵🎶 Poor Dick (RIP).He called Gina (the drummer🥁)"Jan". Miss Bandstand Good times..🎶🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎶💿🎸🎹🥁
It's the Go-Gos...who cares if they lip-synched? Every act lip-synched on AB, other shows back then. We didn't have social media, other means to see these artists often so to sit Saturday morning to witness these chicks or others perform meant something. It was about fun and the music. That is something that is lost now.
When they were interviewed, they seemed shy and modest. At the same time, they were very professional and knew what their music was all about. To modern young women, who don't seem to know what real (and attractive) feminine demeanor looks like. That was it.
I was 13 years old, hair down to my waist, and I begged mom to let me cut it like Belinda's. She said no, of course. I loved this band SO much! Still do.
Induct these talented musicians song writers into Rock Roll Hall of Fame!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤ Friendly reminder that when you say ignorant things about women in power, they don't hear you. But your daughters do. Your mother does. Your sisters hear you. Your nieces hear you too. 😘
how do you know???? someone on youtube said that Deborah Harry was on coke during THEIR American Bandstand performance a few years earlier. I can't tell what the signs are....
On this day in 1957 {August 5th} the Philadelphias-based 'American Bandstand' debut on the ABC-TV network... The first record that was played was the Crickets' "That'll Be The Day" {peaked at #1 for 1 week on Sept. 23rd on Billboard's Best Sellers chart}... And the first two live performers were Billy Williams and The Chordettes; Mr. Williams sang "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" {it peaked at #3} and The Chordettes did "Just Between You and Me" {it reached #8} ...
The Best days of Music! Long Live the 80's! The people on AB were watching the GoGo's Live as they danced in the stands there. Even the guys were dancing🕺& of course Drooling over the Beautiful GoGos. I was 📺watching AB this day in 1982, as Most All teens & young adults had their eyes glued to AB every Saturday, ( unless we had a job, & most of us did). We knew The GoGo's were going to be on AB, as there were advertisements during the week. My kids nor my grandkids know the Excitement of shows like American Bandstand.
Loved these ladies!! Was a teenage boy, and was head over heels in love with Belinda and Jane and Gina and Kathy and Charlotte!!They were on top of their game at this time, even though Belinda was coked out of her head, LOL oh the 80’s!! God how I miss this era!!!! Best of all time
Me, too Cartoons 1st, then American Bandstand and then Soul Train on WGN SuperStation then at nighttime it was Hee Haw, SOLID GOLD, America's Top 10 and ended the night with Night Tracks on SuperStation WTBS Atlanta The Good ol' Days of Television
At one point he had a show on all 3 networks at different time slots. $25,000 Pyramid on CBS Mon-Fri mornings, Bloopers and Practical Jokes on NBC Tuesday nights and this on ABC. Saturday midday.
I was 23 or 24.... Was seeing this girl who had tickets to their concert at the Greek Theatre in I think '85.... Wow, what a concert.... What a memory !!!! Now, I'm a 58 year old fart.... Where in the hell did time go ????? 🙄
samuel stukes I remember seeing this clip years ago on VH-1 and got a kick out of seeing that kid at 7:30 going Ga-Ga for the Go-Go’s. Gotta admit this is a freaking bad ass song!
I loved the Go-Go's and went to see them in concert around 85 or 86. I got the first ticket to the concert based on the number on the ticket. What was really sad and embarrassing was that there were probably less than 2000 people in a 13,000 seat arena. The band played along like professionals but I felt sorry for them the whole time.
I wonder what it was like for you to hear these great 80s tunes as a little kid. What songs stuck in your head back then? What was it like watching MTV (assuming you were allowed)? What was it like for you when the 90s came around and Nirvana, Chili Peppers and Smashing Pumpkins came on the scene?
If it weren't for this band I don't think I'd be able to say I've been a drummer for over 40 years! Gina was my drum teacher (but she didn't know it 😁). I would put on their records and drum along to every song every day. Thank you ladies for influencing my life! ❤️
One of the bands the Go-Go's inspired were the Bangles. Susanna Hoff was a fan of them, and she went to one of their concerts in LA. She was passing out flyers searching for people to form a band with her. The only one who answered was bassist Annette Zalinskas.
Belinda is adorable. She completely misses her queue on the second verse of "We Got the Beat" 6:28 Belinda is happy now and in a good place in her life. Many of us know all about her struggle with booze and a cocaine addiction. Rod Stewart said in his autobiography, "Belinda could snort the lacquer off a table." All the Go-Go's could party the guys under the table. Belinda and Jane founded the Go-Go's. Belinda brought in Charlotte and she also was the one that went out and tried to get the group bookings and a record deal. These girls did all the ground work after creating the band. Went on to sing, write and play their own instruments. Damn impressive.
The one in the red dress OMG she was so hype, especially when we got the beat began. Even in the video for we got the beat she was so hype. I keep watching it just for her lol. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
I can't help but love watching this performance on A.B.S. I mean, there's so much energy and excitement not only from the Go Go's, but the audience as well. Yeah, they look like goofballs dancing around, but look how much fun they're having! The Go Go's music does just that! Fun music and great times. I definitely would've been a dancing goofball too had I been there. 😉
It might not seem like it because of the obvious lip-synch performance, but a glass ceiling was shattered when this episode of "American Bandstand" aired back in 1982. Jane's words were prophetic: the success of The Go-Go's paved the way for every girl rock band that came afterward. Whether they want to or not, every grrl band from The Bangles to The Pussycat Dolls and even Japan's Shonen Knife owe a big debt of gratitude to The Go-Go's for blazing the trail. :)
I think The Runaways did more for women in rock (Lita Ford, Joan Jett, Micki Steele). You did say rock, and the Go-Go's are not rock but POP. Still, the Runaways did more for music than the Go-Go's, so lets put proper credit where it's due.
@@talkshow4377 Mostly true, though Nigel Harrison played the bass on their debut album and Vicki Blue only played on one song on the Waiting for the Night album.
These were the good ole innocent day's!! Home's were homey, holiday's were cozy, and street's were safe to walk in!! And the music speak's for itself!!
Saw this when it originally aired and played the cassette too death! They are the bests so much fun and brought some great times to the 1980’s! Beauty and Beast was huge back in early 1980’s.

Me too!!!!
The best decade
LOL...not better than the 70s! That was the times, man.
The 80s we're Great , a futuristic movement , altuogh the 70s were breaking taboos , & improve social , political changes.....
so was i
Belinda Carlile and Jane Weidlin looked amazing! Can we rewind and do the 80's over again?
I miss being a teenager in the 80s, great music and great times
The Girl can dance in those Heels !
you cant dance like that and sing however. The vocals would be impacted in such a way from the jumping she would be out of breath in 30 seconds.

My thoughts exactly...
How come music is not fun like this anymore? Or, am I missing something?
The Time Machine is complete. We must return to AB in 1982 now. Come join me.
The performance may not have been live but the audience certainly was!
Belinda mistakenly thought this was the long album version and not the single version so she missed her cue....
Love the fact that the dudes are the ones who are freaking out most during the performanes - cracks me up!
The Bassist is what makes this Band!!
This is great for a number of reasons. 1st This band was pure energy with no dance rehearsals, 2. They captured the innocence of the 80s perfectly 3. They had no pretense or ego here. Just a great moment to catch for tv eternity.
Belinda Carlisle is so pretty and charismatic.
And she can dance!
Kathy was always the hottest one. That bass speaks volumes!!!
Belinda Jane Gina Charlotte Kathy in that order for me.
Check Kathy out at the Central Park show they did in 2001 and tell me if you can take your eyes off her. Absolute goddess
Cats eyes and a pirates smile, just stunning.
We got the beat being chosen as the song to open Fast Times at Ridgemont High was huge for that first Go Go's album. Those 2 just went hand-in-hand in 1982.
Nailed It! And loved "Stereo In Motion" by Cars and "American Girl" by Petty. RIP, Tom, Ric and Ben.

6:29 I love that Belinda forgot to get back to the mic to sing with the voice track! LOL The Go-Go's were the BEST.
Still are I hope
Between Belinda's makeup and Jane's baby voice - wow.
I remember when We Got The Beat came out. At the time, it felt like the most fun song ever written.

Hello Sandra, How are you doing?
so under rated and the group toronto from toronto canada
Hard not to watch this and smile. Belinda can make anyone get out of their seat and move!
IRS gave REM a chance too. Both opened for the Police back in the early 80's. All I can say about this video is how much I miss Dick Clark's class.
Two powerhouse songs in one AB performance.
straight up legends . all of them
We Got the Beat is such a simple song and beat but what a great song, especially when you turn it up in your car !!
