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.
This song is the most B-52s song in their entire catalog.
Love Kate's scream after the "Kiss the Pineapple" line
Strickland laying down some heavy suppressing fire
Keith Strickland is a good drummer🔥
One of the greatest band ever, full of creativity, talent and passion.
Hope u got to see them on their final tour
Such a killer track. Punker than punk almost. The band sounds tight and the stop/starts and noise are amazing.
First Tume I heard from them, summer of 80'😮😂😂❤❤❤
Daaaamnnn, if I could use a time machine. I'll go to this day
b52s, Talking heads, Dead Kennedy's, sex pistols,what fun times! But B52s just make me dance and smile! This is one of my faves, along with Private Idaho, and other early ones.
Those 2 unmistakable distinct voices.
Funny and Freaky at the same time. Only the B-52's can pull that off!!!!!!!!
That bass drum is killer
Totally badass.
this song has always made me laugh...god I love this band so much :)
Love it, such good memories
Watching Fred singing into a disconnected phone is everything. I can die now.
If I had a time machine this is where I would go
Fred's delivery of his lyrics is unmatched.love it.
0:22 Fred is saying « where is my telephone » almost like the same way we do these days cause we all have one. I’m from the 80s and nobody has never said a phrase like that then. I’m sure he was the first human owning a phone🤪.
I remember them playing this at UT Knoxville. I must have burnt 2000 calories jumping around that auditorium!
Keith Strickland laying it down at 2:45! BAM!
He'll yeah!!!
Sick powerful performance
Absolute Genius!
The B-52's are a very enigmatic group for me. Someone told me, they were Punk as f***, but for me, they are a mixture of Punk and Rock.
B 52 For ever, the most underrested band in west europe !
Woke up with this stuck in my head for some reason. Good times!
I love you Fred!!
Excuse me while my face melts off. And I'm so glad to see the people up front getting some dancing in. That's what you gotta do to music like this.
Quaalude recreational use kicking in right about now 3:43 . Top 5 song from Fred and co for sure
Awesome still, even after all the years.
Why aren't they in the R&R HOF yet?
Wow!
How does this song/vid have only 78k views. Smh
The coolest
this has to be the best cut from this series.
The only song in this concert where Ricky played the 66 - 68 Mosrite MK V that was painted in Sunburst. It was tuned to D standard, but it only had the bottom 3 strings on it.
THE. ABSOLUTE. BOMB. B52s rock.
Hard Core... tough kids 👊
then i'm gonna kiss your PINEAPPLE!!!
But first i;m gonna kiss your neck....you know....if that's ok ?
This reminds me of the closing scene from "Looking for Mr. Goodbar".
It recalls to me of other times of life. Marvelous years
❤
Those of you who are too young to remember these glory days, we had just come out of the disco era and hero guitar based stadium bands and this group and Talking Heads hit. We were like wtf?! this is epic!
Disco era did not end with the 70s
@@ChicanoPhD It didnt. But I remember watching the Detroit tigers/Chicago white Sox double header in Chicago where a local rock radio station blew up a truckload of disco records in between games billed as "the death of disco" and they had to cancel the 2nd game because it blew a huge crater in the field. Fkn hilarious!
Strobe light and private Idaho and rock lobster altimate jam for ever
Cindy is only 23 in this and they had already been together almost 4 years
This is a punk rock song.
from the "no shit' category...
I feel like The Offspring stole some part of the vocals when the ladies do that magical harmony part...chilling how powerful these ladies are when they sing together-WOW!!
@@arthurbishop3173 I would say so, The Offspring were influenced by them and covered "52 Girls" early in their career.
Absolutely 100%
One of the most underrated bands ever
Oh yeah
I remember, as a long haired metal kid, a lotta chicks liked this. So, I listened p.
RIP Ricky......
Classic!!!
Love It! Thanks for this!~
Fred "It's a Love Song". When Wild Planet came out DJ's would play this & We & other's did Make Love in The Clubs Under the Strobe Light, Outskirts of Atlanta Late Club, Chicago, Madison Wi, different times tho still have the occasional Afterparty at Hotels with Pools, Security is Cool with it as long as we are quite, they like looking at the naked girls in the Pool.
I got motion sickness doin' it under the strobe Light but hey, it was fun
under rated band!!!
😳😳😳 Strobe Light! (Spandex, it's a privilege, NOT a RIGHT!) 👾
The best
T HANK YOU
I want that pineapple too baby!
How many kids can identify that thing Fred's holding as a phone?
Back then, a telephone was cutting edge technology.....lol
Depends what you mean by "kid." I don't count, I'm 27 and Grandpa was still using the old phone he had installed in the 60s.
Hang up the phone Fred, kiss that pineapple already
2:48 chet baker on drumss
So many people say "Tom Brady on drums".
I don't see it.
But Chet Baker?
Yeah, man!
Good call.
re the comment about Fred and AIDS, he looks, sounds and moves in this video and all the videos from this amazing concert - he looks to me like a super-healthy music/song/dance geek, bringing joy to the world whether or not the world was ever ready for the B52s. And he and his cohorts inspire me in my later age to get off my gay ass and dance. And I do. You and people who think and express themselves in the way that you did, so publicly nonchalant, as though you were making fun of a paraplegic kid in a wheelchair when just you and that kid are alone in a room (have you done this? probably, right? OMG you are so...wrong...) , to give you every opportunity to pluck off his/her wings, as though s/he were a fly on your table: what on earth do you think you're achieving/accomplishing/ getting done, in this world? You sound like someone who would have volunteered, even starving and unemployed, to operate the Nazi gas chambers. Is that who you are? Is that how you want to be known?
clearly one of the many brain dead who speak out of their ass, he's a dense tool at best
Coming from a big early B-52s era fan whose uncle has been thin since his uncle was a kid, I know thin doesn't automatically mean AIDS. It is true, though, that an uneducated eye might think a thin person looks like he has AIDS from just being thin. Fred was thinner than Ricky at this time but Ricky's the one who got AIDS; I've seen photos of the band (1979 - 1983) on a beach and that's just the way it is.
Nothing worse than a triggered pickle smoker / listen captain gayness- nobody cares who you sleep with..... comparisons to Nazis, really? Grow up .... nobody gives a sh#t!
Needs a cordless phone
I was negative 5 yrs old!! Did people see in color in the 80s?? What a strange world we live in.
I was negative 4. And the B&W make the concert look more of a classic masterpiece which the B-52's are
WHERES MY CORNFLAKES
Where's my telephone?
No awesome Ricky solo?!
I don't recall any guitar solos in the live performances I listened to. The highest Ricky went on the guitar neck (that I can think of in a B-52s recording; I may be missing something) was for "Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can." The beginning to "Party Out of Bounds" comes in second. Most of his playing's under the 12th fret.
baba booey at 3:45
Wait...does he sing "arms"...or 'arse'?
Disclaimer: DO NOT WATCH IF YOU'RE AN EPILEPTIC!
I can say that it sucks to share a mic..
That audience is a trip, they use to be called yuppies back then, now a days it's geek.
Yuppies are what they called upwardly mobile young businessmen/women
Even hetrosexuals love this song, too.
Great performance but what a crappy production. Not one of Capitol Theatre’s best.
Strobe light and pineapple kissing great lyrics B52s'. 😜
