I’m so sad to be a young fan of this band. Anyone irl that I’ve talked to (that’s also a fan) is way older than me, like they have kids my age and older. They were alive and blessed enough to have attended a concert or two, while I have to live knowing they’ll never have another concert again. Danny Elfman said so, because of his hearing. F in the chat for young Boingo fans 🥲
Now this is so much worse, I had no idea they were never going to perform again?? No matter how much I bug my friends, I just can't push them to fully become fans or anything AGHHH I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH!! F :(
@@EmmanentDanger couple weeks ago I was helping setup for my school dance, I had to blow up a shit ton of balloons. I had my phone out playing Oingo Boingo and this girl came over there to help me (she didn’t help really, she didn’t even know how to tie the balloons) and the chorus for “Nothing Bad Ever Happens to Me” came on and she said “what is this song called??” with a shocked/confused voice and I said “…nothing bad ever happens to me” and she just walked off 💀💀💀 I think she thought I was lying, but at least she wasn’t there when “Little Girls” was playing 😭
@@JoJo-fan-right-here Ack! I'm so sorry. 😭😭 I remember one time, someone did know Oingo Boingo, but they only knew them for Little Girls. 😭 The conversation went something like this: Me: Well, I do have an idea for a song we should use. There's this band I have in mind... Person: Oh, okay. What ideas do you have? Me: Well, the band is Oingo Boingo, and the song I had in m- Person: Woah, as in the band that made Little Girls? Me: Well, yes, but not that song -
@@EmmanentDanger any time someone asks me about Oingo Boingo (they don’t know who they are) I had to say something like this: “You know those memes about gen shin impact fans? Well they made the song in those memes that says ‘I love little girls’ but it was a joke song they’re not actually pedos. Their music is really good I’m serious!” And then I have to pretend they aren’t side eyeing me 💀💀💀
Tbh, I actually consider it really lucky that we have access to the demos, unreleased tracks and you can find a live show from pretty much every era of the band. It's not a struggle but I would appreciate officially released mixes of these songs.
I read your comment several times - and yeah - I realized you are 100% correct. They were my holy grail when tape trading / napster started - and we still don't have GREAT quality versions of so much of this stuff. I understand danny might have much stuff / but Steve must? So many demos / b-sides etc.
“he’s bein an ass” danny on the other side of the room: “I’m not being an ass, fuck you!” 😂 this video is a gift. I love how someone (kind of sounds like Dale Turner) came in to defend Danny afterwards by saying “no he’s not, we’re trying to get it right”.
also “let him go..please let him go once, okay? hold it, hold it, hold it! this doesn’t help me - to just do it like this - I got to do the whole transition **inaudible** at the beginning and everything, that’s what I need to work through.” Danny at 29:48
@@bazookajoe9864 lol I would say that’s because of audio quality and just that fact that he is younger and possibly speaking more comfortably/naturally.
Anyone listening and wondering what's the big deal, realize that this was recorded on a very low tech recorder. The real sound would've been fresh. These kind of concerts blow away about anything you'd see today.
This just makes me increasingly disappointed that they never performed Wake Up (It's 1984) in a true live setting. It sounds so incredible here and could've been even more incredible on stage. Edit: Forgot about this comment. Since then I learned about the New Year's show and even an alleged 1990s show (1995 I believe) where it was played. I will say I'm disappointed we don't have any audio of these shows, let alone footage, but one day we'll get it.
It Only Makes Me Laugh was always my favorite song off of So-Lo. sounds like the version on this recording has the same arrangement as the one on Boingo Alive, but something about how the shoddy tape this was recorded on has affected the audio really adds to it. love it
The introduction really makes me wish Oingo Boingo made a cover for Auld Lang Syne. Open Eyes is fine, but Danny's lyrics are hauntingly beautiful in some weird way I cannot fully describe.
@@MistahM man really went from looking like a clone of Ribbs to looking like a stereotypical 80s nerd and yet he still probably was Oingo Boingo's best keyboardist

Hello, fellow young Boingohead.
I sound so silly to my friends mentioning the music I listen to, including Oingo Boingo. 😭

Man I got into this about 5 6 years ago. Never found another band with as much stuff unreleased. Fresh takes on the tracks every time.
Not fer me
Every time I close my eyes I see this image
When I close my eyes and dream, it comes to me.

why does he sound like he's on helium

"Danny's being an ass on purpose" is definitely Sluggo.

Mike is and always will be for me the best keyboard player that oingo boingo could have. His dances and enthusiasm were pure life ❤

I am almost positive they played it at a new years eve show in San Diego. 85,86,87 range. My memory ain't good any more
They did. New years eve 1984 and later years too.
I have seen them many times. I have seen them perform 1984. I was also at the new years concert 12/31/1984
The opening band was the Untouchables
I would gladly exchange all of my finger and toe nails and my ability to blink to see them in concert
It Only Makes Me Laugh was always my favorite song off of So-Lo. sounds like the version on this recording has the same arrangement as the one on Boingo Alive, but something about how the shoddy tape this was recorded on has affected the audio really adds to it. love it
that Marvin Gaye cover could punch me in the face and id be honored.
Yes! So good!
SO SO REAL.
This audio is a true gift! 💥🥰💥

27:38 - 27:45 just gives me serious What You See vibes
going into cool city is pretty great.
Holy moly thanks for posting this
wow that little cover of sunshine of your love they do is really cool, really not the kind of thing i would've expected to hear from the band lol
This is upstairs neighbor material
The boys
cool city sounds awesome
Nice one!
its not a hate crime
i love u

mike bacich, keyboards from 1984-1987 (left just before the release of boi-ngo)

@@MistahM I wonder why he left
@@fredthefungus2688 he was too good
Not used to seeing him without his glasses. Then again, with his glasses on he looks like a guy who’s afraid of the kool aid man
I guess this is the first Mike and John recording we may ever have
Would've never known Boingo covered Cream
dale hq looks creepy
they all do let's be honest
nah he’s a total Babe
This is the kind of image where no one looks good
That schoolmaster, parent, indifferent musician, vibe always made me laugh.
They all look wack
Who is the woman singing in this rehearsal? I can slightly hear her at different parts 🤔
Glorious. Thanks for sharing.
