I have been on a mission to explore new music. I have my playlist but am searching for new music. I have heard The B-52s hits, but listened to more of their music. What I found is that they are energetic and fun. And they are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. As a Talking Heads fan I should have known I'd love their music. I wish I had found them in the 80s. But enjoying their music like it is new.
I'll ignore the mlp icon as a tell to your taste and I'd love to recommend man man as they're my favorite band for that exact reason. and besides, you're commenting on a good song, so I'm sure your tastes are fine ;)
Noone listning i guess.. All my life I wanted to see the B52s in concert I finally did chattannoga and well It was a good to go. and I will always cherish it
I saw them live in 1989 at Legion Field in Athens, GA when they were on their Cosmic Thing tour. It was so much fun! I've seen them twice more since then, the last a couple of years ago in Atlanta. They're awesome and sound great live!
Rhino could re-edit the old B-52s video collection that was available on VHS ages ago, now on DVD or Bluray. Maybe updated with the more recent music videos.
This was their first single on Cosmic Thing because they thought it was the best song on the album - and then it did poorly on Billboard. After a campaign on the college level in the USA, it surged and became #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. However, it did not chart in the top 100 - that was saved for the second song which went to #3 in the top 100 along with the third single, both Love Shack and Roam - which were the next two singles. Still, this is a solid B-52s song so it gets played a lot in concert to this very day.
I love seeing this performance because there were people who gave them up for lost some time before. But seeing them in shape and with renewed energy is fantastic !! 👏👏
It was, I have it. It’s fucking awesome. The sound in this version is better though because I believe they must’ve edited it a bit . Look for Mesopotamia live 1990, that One’s from this same show
YES! Love this song! Whether you heard this when you bought the album or you saw Earth Girls Are Easy back in the day, once you hear this, you have no choice but to SHAKE YOUR HONEY BUNS!
Awesome band and awesome video of an awesome live performance. Man, I seen a few of the great Athens GA bands back in the '80s and '90s like REM, Dreams So Real, The Squalls and Pylon but I never got the chance to see these guys live. It must have been one helluva time to be a student at UGA when the 52s were still working the local club circuit. Thanks for posting this gem!
Yes there is , Live in 1990 Cosmic Tour. The sound is not as perfect as this version though but it’s pretty damn close and the performance is totally worth it. Look for “Mesopotamia” live 1990 and you’ll find another video from this show. They pretty much play the best songs from cosmic thing. I have it, I Bought it nearly 20 years ago it’s a jewel 💎
You can see the moves Fred picked up from when he used to play with James Brown. He was also with The Colas, Barnaby Stu, and The Recipe Cards, so he knows.
Would love to see all of these on DVD, or Blu-Ray! (Wasn't there another video of Cosmic Thing that MTV played back in 1989? I recall seeing that in high school...)
I have seen a few songs from this amazing concert by the B-52s, so I reckon the whole concert was filmed. It needs releasing on to DVD, as the sound quality is top class.
ShamockParticle I don't think there is a official video for the song Cosmic Thing. There's Channel Z, Love Shack, Roam, Deadbeat Club and I think that's it.
Gyrate it till you had your fill Just like a pneumatic drill Don't let it go down the drain Ya better hop on the cosmic wagontrain! Cosmic! Cosmic!

The B-52s are still not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
All political dude.
They haven't even been nominated. Yet Bon Jovi...
Kate and Cindy hitting that exact same high note over and over is everything.
With ease. 🎶
YEAH !!!!
Does music ever get more fun than this?
how did they syncronize their whoooo´s ?? OMG so perfect
This is the best live performance that ever happened on Earth.
Good. But I'll take The Who's "Young Man Blues" from the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.
One of the best bands that ever lived.
Frida & Agnetha are well known to have magic when their Vocals blend together. Same goes to Kate and Cindy here
Yassss
Exactly!
Cindy and Kate are gorgeous angels. Dreamy !!!
Cindy was.

We need more modern bands that are willing to break the status quo, just like these guys did back in the 70's.
I'll ignore the mlp icon as a tell to your taste and I'd love to recommend man man as they're my favorite band for that exact reason.
and besides, you're commenting on a good song, so I'm sure your tastes are fine ;)
And eighties.... and nineties....
There are a few, just gotta look hard buddy.
Msi
Omw brb when I get it together I will link!
Kate and Cindy sound really good together!!
This was when the B-52's were totally on top of their game on all levels!
I am just NOW discovering the album, Cosmic Thing. The album is a brilliant piece of musical art.
I wore out the cassette tape...it was 1989 after all.
Also check out the "Good Stuff" album too. It's underrated and nearly as good as the "Cosmic Thing" album.
@@DonMac3K Yes. "Good Stuff", I am very much a fan of.
FUCKING FACTS. One of the greatest albums of all time. So flawless, and the production is AMAZING.
It’s so upbeat!!
Holy shit, they are on top form in this video. Sounds just like the record!!!
There has never been a better sync than Cindy and Kate!! NEVER!!!!!
Ken Weser Frida and Agnetha. However I do love Kate and Cindy
totally agreed! :)
Nevernevernevernever......
I just saw them 2 nights ago and they were SYNCd. Their voices are unreal
Frank iero and Gerard way
Impressive vocals for Kate and Cindy!! That's a tricky harmony to hit in the studio let alone a live concert setting.
Nice to hear 2 STRONG singers in unison.Very different.Great band.
Anything by the B-52's is good, but this song is one of their best.
Moser Gray my favorite is Channel Z
The World needs a New B-52's record...…………..Yeah
One of my most favorite songs ever! If this doesn't get you going, You're dead! Love you Kate!
I love Fred Schneider's jacket and pants! They are so flashy and classy looking!
~Dutch
I think that don't exist a band as B'52's..most original band of the world!!
Legit superstars
I want Cosmic Thing the album, played at my funeral, and everyone must party!
sigh ... everyone so young ... where has the time gone?
OMG!!!! They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
They are still sooooooo COOOOOOOOOOL
love their music.
Finally, I love it. Only 40years
Noone listning i guess.. All my life I wanted to see the B52s in concert I finally did chattannoga and well It was a good to go. and I will always cherish it
Wow, that is a lot of energy haha! Girls and drummer doing a great performance here.
I thought cosmic thing was their first album, but then I found out that they had more music from the late 70's!!
The harmonics are incredible
I saw them live in 1989 at Legion Field in Athens, GA when they were on their Cosmic Thing tour. It was so much fun! I've seen them twice more since then, the last a couple of years ago in Atlanta. They're awesome and sound great live!
Why does this only have 100k views? This is better than the album version!
Because they removed the older posts of this song, which had over a million views..
Rhino could re-edit the old B-52s video collection that was available on VHS ages ago, now on DVD or Bluray. Maybe updated with the more recent music videos.
Amazing energy amazing talent long live the b-52s! 🇺🇸👸🤴👸
You can't listen to this and NOT smile. If you can, what's wrong with you?
This was their first single on Cosmic Thing because they thought it was the best song on the album - and then it did poorly on Billboard.

Those Chuck Berry guitar licks...
This concert needs releasing on to DVD, as I am sure the whole gig was filmed.
It was, I have it. It’s fucking awesome. The sound in this version is better though because I believe they must’ve edited it a bit . Look for Mesopotamia live 1990, that One’s from this same show
@@jpbaidal Can't find any official DVD release of this concert, or even bootleg!
I gotta have it!!!
There is so little on this band, in DVD concerts.
Just amazing. I love the B-52's
Imagine being this iconic
YES! Love this song!
Whether you heard this when you bought the album or you saw Earth Girls Are Easy back in the day, once you hear this, you have no choice but to SHAKE YOUR HONEY BUNS!
What a great sound
Kate is an absolute goddess

Every time I watch this I fall deeper in.love with Kate and I've watched this a lot
Shes mine. 🤬
She belongs to the world.
But me mainly. 🤣
Yeah yeah yeah!
Ah yes, back when bands actually played real instruments and sang with their actual voices. Good times.
Does anyone know if this concert is on DVD? I'd purchase it if so, they are on fire!

Do the b-52's still do concerts over Vietnam
Keith is super cute on guitar, and I'm sure Ricky was dancing along up there.
Capolavoro assoluto!
You can see the moves Fred picked up from when he used to play with James Brown. He was also with The Colas, Barnaby Stu, and The Recipe Cards, so he knows.
Go 1 true to all...
SYNC: ATTAINED!
This is taken from the B52's Cosmic Tour.
すごくいいね！

Happy 35 to Cosmic Thing 💎
Apparently they did this live version so well that they didn’t bother doing studio version 🤷♂️👍
Kate Pierson is a goddess
After every song I think Man. That's the best fucking song I've ever heard.
Was that really a live performance? It sounded studio quality.
I NEED A SPARLKEY FULL BODY OUTFIT
What planet is this?
Earth girls are easy
Gail Ann Dorsey's bass lines put this song into the stratosphere! What concert is this from? Thanks for the posting!
Hot Lava The concert was during there Cosmic Tour. Was at one of them as well. Hell of a show.
This is not Gail Ann Dorsey but Sara Lee ! ;-)
My next tattoo will be The B-52s
