    Summary:
    This is a terrific document of the group shortly after the 2nd album release. They play the 2nd album in it's entirety as well as most of the first album. It's b&w, but well lit, good audio and every second of it is here. The original lineup (they look so young!) bursting with creativity on their first tour as headliners.

      Part of it's that he used Mosrite (pronounced "Moe's Right") models early on. But his tunings, commonly omitting the G and High E strings and using 2 thick B strings in the B and High E positions while tuning those top two to the same note, changed things too.

    I've just recently rediscovered the B52s...WOW! I can't stop listening to them, especially Wild Planet. I think the band was at their peak of creativity on this album. Cindy and Kate are in perfect synch and are gorgeous. Keith is amazing on drum. Fred's vocals are new wave at its finest. And then of course there's Ricky. My God, his guitar playing would never sound more driving, more creative, more distinct than on Wild Planet.

    I was way too young to see the Bs around this time, but I had people making me tapes of their first few albums and such. I'm amazed that Ricky is seen here playing a double-necked 6/12 string guitar! Normally only associated with the likes of Led Zep, etc. Wild! And he's got his gas attendant shirt on it appears. Poor Ricky.

    • @101Volts
      @101Volts 6 років тому +2

      BTW, Ricky being underrated is an understatement. Part of the reason why this happened in the first place is he died in 1985, he had no idea what tunings he was using (or did and didn't let on; his guitar tech, Keith Bennett who later became Cindy's husband, knew them though) and the band didn't replace Ricky or release any video from when he was alive up until this concert came about. You can't tell easily on casual listening that Ricky was even playing what's there. I suppose he picked this up from when he played finger-picking guitar; speaking of which, I haven't heard recordings of him playing any of that.
