LA surf punk roots made from some remarkable pop music and especially comes through in this song. Charlotte Caffey was very innovative in combining it all. Under appreciated songwriter and guitarist.
I love their tracks that are really darker and strong like this. It's really amazing! People think Go-Go's and think Vacation .. I think these songs... Both were good but I prefer this style! 65/35
99% sure this concert aired on MTV on a Friday night in 1981. It was one of the first features MTV ever did was air Friday night concerts and the Go-Go’s were one of the first bands that played.
I wish I could go back and see this concert. I love this band and I love that back in the 80s the crowd only pulled out their lighters. Nobody filmed everything on their phone, just so they could never actually watch the video they recorded. These days you can't actually see the band perform, all you see is a sea of smartphones. It sucks. The 80s were awesome.
This is so cool! I always wondered if anyone would ever put this concert up and now it's available! It was such a fun night and it's cool when the camera pans the audience because I can see several of my old class mates - Forever Young!
So nice to hear some of the Go-Go's GOOD stuff, rather than the three "hits." Pity they aren't more remembered for this kind of stuff rather than the bubblegum.
Cat Luciano ...Catrina, Jane is awesome. But all these girls 'Gel' perfect allowed for 35 years of Go Go, go go's rockin it !!.fun fact , lead singer of the goo goo dolls dropped hint/suggestion that he took to name the band after the go go's
Shes a good writer but Charlotte is better "We got the Bea"t is an all time iconic song. Also this band wouldnt have worked minus any of the members, they all played important part and Belinda fronted this band like a queen.
this is one of my favorite GoGo’s songs. what an amazing band. time for them to get in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! next year is 40 years. how much longer do they have to wait?
Gina's tearing it up. She might be the best female rock drummer ever. And to think their f-up manager wanted to use drum machine for their talk show CD.
This is so much fun! My favorite song of theirs too. And it must be unusual too for the current generation of youth to see music actually being created with instruments instead of a computer generated beat or "sample" of another band's song. No voice equalizer software being used either. Again, I wonder if the current generation can understand this?
WOw Taylor Swift is this interesting? NEVER. These lyrics - The street lights are shining bright The billboards are shedding their light And my crowd's hanging around Tonite There's a charge in the air It's kind of electric out there And we're all out on the town Action, gonna track it down Gonna turn some heads Tonite There's nothing There's no one To stand in our way Get dressed up And messed up Blow our cares away Our mind's set on seeing This night through till day We rule…

Totally agree. Charlotte leads the way in every one of their songs
You're right. I never caught the surf influence before.
Totally agree.
Belinda rocking it in spiked heels....they dont make them like that anymore, what a beautiful and talanted woman she is..
Early 80's. Southern California. Nothing like it.
Just watched the Go-Go’s documentary, it was excellent.
I’d forgotten how awesome this first album was.
Look at that. A beautiful all girl band that can play...
You can't spell gorgeous without Go-Go's
One of my favorite Go-Go's tracks.
I love their tracks that are really darker and strong like this. It's really amazing! People think Go-Go's and think Vacation .. I think these songs... Both were good but I prefer this style! 65/35
I like "The way you dance". To me, it's underrated and not on any other album except Vacation. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Saw them in 81! They warmed up for the Specials. They stole the show.
99% sure this concert aired on MTV on a Friday night in 1981. It was one of the first features MTV ever did was air Friday night concerts and the Go-Go’s were one of the first bands that played.
One song after the other... these women friggin rock. I can never get enough. Rock on Go-Go's!
Powerful Pop. Pitch Perfect. This one really brings out emotions................it is more than just nostalgia
I wish I could go back and see this concert. I love this band and I love that back in the 80s the crowd only pulled out their lighters.

Go-Go's at their Best! So fresh and raw here, this song is Awesome!
The concert video that made me a Go-Gos fan! Those High Schoolers were so lucky to be there.
This is so cool! I always wondered if anyone would ever put this concert up and now it's available! It was such a fun night and it's cool when the camera pans the audience because I can see several of my old class mates - Forever Young!
This must be heaven.
i gotta say no 1 dances like Carlyle
Shay Flyer - I saw them in the 90’s and Belinda ordered everyone to do their best new wave dance. It was great! I love her! 💖😉
Natalie Merchant.
You mean Carlisle.
Happy new Years to all the GO GO'S, 2019'!!!
So nice to hear some of the Go-Go's GOOD stuff, rather than the three "hits." Pity they aren't more remembered for this kind of stuff rather than the bubblegum.
Yeah.
I think "Our Lips Are Sealed" is a great song, as evidenced by the number of times it's been covered.
Must be early in the show. Belinda usually has her shoes off by the third or fourth number!
Love the crunchy rhythm guitars on the chorus and Belinda's 'tough and tender' Talk Show era vocals. I wish the recorded version was this good.
I think that's the mark of a great band when a live version eclipses the record.
ThankYou for posting, so much Fun to dance too!
There would be no GO GOs without Jane Wiedlin she’s the most important person to this band
Cat Luciano ...Catrina, Jane is awesome. But all these girls 'Gel' perfect allowed for 35 years of Go Go, go go's rockin it !!.fun fact , lead singer of the goo goo dolls dropped hint/suggestion that he took to name the band after the go go's
All the Go Gos are very important to the band and they play their roles perfectly and mesh together so well
You guys obviously are missing what Cat's saying. He is mad about Jane like I'm mad about KV
Shes a good writer but Charlotte is better "We got the Bea"t is an all time iconic song. Also this band wouldnt have worked minus any of the members, they all played important part and Belinda fronted this band like a queen.
What? Charlotte Belinda Gina & Kathy are so important than Jane.
And 40 years later they're gearing up for their 2021 summer tour.
Yay! Can't wait
- Really PerFormance...The BesT Female Band BeaT-SynTh From The End 70s.-80s.~
Gina hit it like she mean it and mean it like she play it.
Gina Schock from Baltimore.
Favorite Band!
So great.
this is one of my favorite GoGo’s songs.
what an amazing band. time for them to get in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! next year is 40 years. how much longer do they have to wait?
They finally got in in the class of 2021.
Charlotte is a genius
¡Qué banda!, ¡qué Rock And Roll más neto!. Yo tengo una cinta grabada, con las mejores rolas de esa banda, de hace cuarenta años.
What the hell with the guy who climbed onstage and started dancing? He sure got his 5 seconds fame, ha, ha, ha!!!!
I love this song :)
But I can't find the studio version anywhere lol XD
This jams!
I really like Kathy Valentines bass work on here. I mean, she's no Graham Maby, but it's still very solid work.
Gina's tearing it up. She might be the best female rock drummer ever. And to think their f-up manager wanted to use drum machine for their talk show CD.
and now a 12 year old drummer can cover this song almost perfectly while singing it as well.
@@txgoldrush Isnt technology wonderful.
@@4512red this is raw talent ua-cam.com/video/5wvGk5lFmBM/v-deo.html

art deco mate...I make techno, and I had this on cassette tape when it 1st came out!
Theres still bands that don't use the voice software and computer beats but you have to search through a lot of shit to find them
Who cares what they think? I like the Go-Go's, you like them. The hell with anyone who can't appreciate it. Their loss, not mine (or yours), right?
The stage diver tho lmao
Homie sunk right through 😅
THROW our cares away....
Funny to think, all these “kids”, are all in their mid-late 50’s now.
WOw Taylor Swift is this interesting? NEVER. These lyrics - The street lights are shining bright
The billboards are shedding their light
And my crowd's hanging around
Tonite
There's a charge in the air
It's kind of electric out there
And we're all out on the town
Action, gonna track it down
Gonna turn some heads
Tonite
There's nothing
There's no one
To stand in our way
Get dressed up
And messed up
Blow our cares away
Our mind's set on seeing
This night through till day
We rule…
A real band ( they always play their instruments ).
Never heard this song either. Holy crap you're good. Where do you find this? You got them on SNL circa 1980?
It's been easy to find for eons. when did you start looking for GoGo's songs? It comes up on simple search, even for people not searching. GL bro
@@Chris_WG 😂
LIVE, GOOD Music "never" has an expiration date! #2020
like number 714. PS my lover is a witch
KAREN IS THE MOST GOOD LOOKING TALL AND TALENTED
Luis Velez Who's Karen? There's no Karen on the Go Go's. It's Belinda, Charlotte, Jane, Kathy and Gina.
velez I think he means Kathy
KV is stunning, even now.
and when she complanes she calls the manager.
Oops!
Charlotte looks like Kim Carnes
hope they're in the HOF!
they will be soon however the RHF is trash.
They just got in and were inducted in October in the class of 2021.
This baseline was originally created by Margot
Charlotte or Kim Carnes?
Beyas
This is so fucking I can't function
Un
😖 AWFUL!!!
