Before the US festival in 83', before the forum and the police in 82', I used to watch them play at UCI in the center quad grass. (free) They were called "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo". Very cool! They were always incredible! Best multi-instrument (horn section) band for a long time. Wish I could watch them play again....
Oh my God, Danny can do such crazy things with his voice. Such as 0:44. It's fantastic. This is exactly what I love about Boingo. They can play so many different kinds of music, and do it PERFECTLY.
Also, I just realized I wasn't even born when this was made. ARGH, why couldn't I have been old enough to see them live!? ONE MORE REUNION TOUR, I'm begging you guys!
Thank you so very much for adding this. Wish it was better quality, but I so wanted to see Danny sing this song.. I have no idea how he does that really fast part...but DAMN he is amazing!!!
Awesome, thank you!

I would kill to have been at the US Festival. So many great bands, including OB. Unfortunately I was only four years old in 1983.

They opened for the Police in 1982 at the Forum in Los Angeles. Best show ever. Vatos on drums, man, those were the days.

That's the shit, for sure. Saw them live at Madame Wongs West in Santa Monica in 1980. They killed.

Why is the video (shot in 1983) being made to look like it was filmed in the 1950's?

Go Danny! so hot! Go Boingo! Favorite band of all time. Steve is great as always on that guitar! And great to see Kerry Hatch in yet another vid! <3

Danny could've passed off as so many things, including an auctioneer.
