Belinda Carlisle Go-Go's on Letterman 1984

[chauhpham]

i am 43, 12-26-67 ... the 80's were the best ... no worry or care in world ... just sleep, eat and play ... i miss those days

[joxter74]

Can you say Marcy Darcy!? I love Belinda...

[SharkSport]

this is better if you skip the Dick Letterman intro.

[RexianHammer]

alright 1984 !

i ain't talkin' no George Orwell.

[HogbergPhotography]

Im 29, and I also think nothing still can compare to the melodies of the 80´s. I just wanna go back.. wish I hade been born in 1965

[NicholasandJosh]

Wow Belinda sure is beautiful.

[MrDavkoz]

Wonderful interview, charming and down to earth girl.

[mahvachcheidani]

belinda from heaven not earth!

[RSCII]

Back when TV was cool - movies were awesome - tons of great music in all genres - life was affordable - and people spoke English - oh and NO reality TV program. Life in almost every aspect has gone to hell since the 80's were over. The last great decade of American life.

[fred1671]

@RSCII No truer words have ever been spoken...

[nt0xik8ed]

inxs were opening? how cool...

[bibbler9]

INXS opened for the Go-Go's WOW!

[king0cans]

I miss the 80's

[gunslinger32mag]

Ok I pick this page, this format, whatever, to ask this question. Does anybody have the GoGo's on SNL from about 1980? I have seen this once before and it blew me away. They did "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips are Sealed." Very, very rare. I can't believe I didn't save it. Now I'm going to get one zillion emails but send me a link or the content at gunslinger32mag@yahoo.com

[htxguy]

Jane was not thier probably because were they not already broken up at this point?

[swoleness]

her laugh is so cute here!

[oksana116]

WOW, Dvid voz so yang...

[thesethingz]

I watched the Go-Go's doc about how when the girls were asked 2 do interviews the only 1 they were really interested in was Belinda. That & a few other things started the girls having hard feelings towards each other-as in why is this 1/that 1getting more attention/publicity than we are type thing. Sucks that the others have to sit n the audience n watch. Dave said that in order for them 2 play they'd have to pay $8k but couldn't they all have at least sat on the same stage for the interview.

[alangreen100]

Belinda Carlisle is gorgeus

[thaihorsex]

Wow. So young.

[shutuprandyyouqueer]

I had such a friggin crush on her in high school, Now I remember why!

[APRIL62318]

ALWAYS STYLISH

[RideMyBMW]

Belinda, almost drummer for The Germs...she got Punk Rock credentials yeah!!!

[LosAngelesBands]

yep!

[real80smusic]

she did drum for them but quit to do her own band.

[mojoidol]

Nice to see this again. Big Belinda fan.

[APRIL62318]

her features are so delicate and cute she looks good with any kind of hair and she was never ever fat

[mnietop]

wow!!! INXS opened for them, that is an amazing piece of trivia.

[stevevil29]

yummy.  she is still hot even 25 years later.

[yobo1016]

That's so funny that INXS was opening for them.

[tongo311]

g o d she s soooo beauti

[rpowarz]

OMG, thanks for posting, I loved Dave in the 1980's

[Heartboy1031]

umm, why wasn't the rest of the band up with her?

[landerrules]

Great vintage interview..thanks for posting..Shame there is such a loud bass-like hum going on, but it's better than not having it posted

[ddm62571]

Wow, Dave never changes his hair style and Paul? Did he ever have hair?

[miguelucho20008]

So Talk Show was prensented on a talk show... uhm!

[td2gether4ever]

ummm Okay. Why the hell are the Go-Go's not performing? CBS was cheap and Jane probably boycotted the show. Good for her.lol Then why not have all the girls on stage too. They should have fired the talent co-ordinator

[spikeslawson]

Dave was on NBC back then. This was Latenight, the show that is now hosted by Jimmy Fallon.

[Parkatola]

Another note about the context and timing of this. At about 5:10 in the clip, she mentions their opening act, INXS. The audience's response? Exactly one clap. One person who had a glimpse of the future, while everyone else thought, "Who?"

[asbte]

paul looks old even then. lol

[MzMejiaZ]

INXS was their opening act...COOL!!!

[Francozilla]

The 80's is the BEST DECADE in music!

[54spiritedwill54]

belinda is so sweet.

[zoedrick]

letterman looks funny....hahaha

[Justufixion]

When hasn't Letterman looked funny?

[pompei1968]

i just cant stop thinking about the 80's....1984 was the best year

[DrPotamkin]

same, i cant get enough!! i booked a ticket to see kim wilde and belinda carlisle in june so i'm ready to rewind!

[landerrules]

Yup yup! The 80's were the best decade for female rockers for sure! The pretenders, Go gos, pat benatar, Blondie, and Stevie Nicks!!!

[jaxythunder]

I saw them on tour with THE POLICE in the 80s x-ceelent !!!!!!yahhh baby !!!

[brendabaloyan]

compared to todays music, the 80's music is the greatest!!!!!!

[wweoldschool]

Hit the nail right on the head. Also not just music in the 80's but style,people,tv shows,cartoons,movies etc.

[huaxteca13]

WELL WELL FINE LADIES

[extreme80sfan]

she is so beautiful. shame this decade ended...

music nowadays just sucks

[greekamerican1961]

I am 47, I think the 80s had the best music ever

[STEVE8OS]

@greekamerican1961 i'M 54, AND IKNOW IT!  80S MUSIC RULES!

[jodi183]

@greekamerican1961 oh there was awful music in the 80's too. Remember Glass Tiger, Mr Mister, New Kids On The Block just to name a few? The good stuff was mostly in the early 80's, leftover from the 70's.

[acerr40]

@jodi183 GLASS TIGER...&...MR. MR. yes...particularly GLASS TIGER...New Kids on The Block...not so much...

[kingofallwhites]

@greekamerican1961 The 80's had some great music. But starting with John Lennon being murdered and ending with Rick Astley at the top of the charts I would question your statement that it had the best music ever.

[GloriaD5767]

@greekamerican1961 I'm 43...I think you're probably right!

[Alfonsomarisol]

@greekamerican1961 In fact there were a lot of good music....but my friend... the sixties (Beatles, The who, Rolling Stones, hendrix. Joplin, etc etc ....) any way i respect ur opinion...and i like the go go's too, and by the way....at that times there were a lot of pretty songs...unfortunly now we have a lot of crap

[daleroes]

The Go-Go's were huge for a few short years -- hard to believe that CBS wouldn't pay sufficient to have them play in 1984. Weird.

[landerrules]

Dave might have just been making a joke about not paying them enough. I know this tour was when the band was fighting badly and broke up right after. Jane especially was feuding with Belinda and it's interesting she wasn't even in the audience.

[nf0603]

actually, vinyl has begun to make a bit of a renaissance lately. Best Buy is stocking some titles on wax again. I am so glad it's working it's way back to the mainstream

[psychospinn]

what?!! are u for real? i saw the gogo's in 85, 87 and 01 and got my talk show album signed!! wow..thanks for the info

[AcaiBerryMONAVIE]

LETTERMAN with hair

[Parkatola]

Man, the 80s were great. The Go-Gos were playing a blossom festival in Akron, Ohio, and their opening act was INXS. Think anyone at that gig really appreciated it?

[Tazzman]

I hated to see that era end!

[flailingerman]

I saw them this tour in Toronto Canada w/ INXS. Unbelievable energy! To this day, one of the better shows that I have ever seen.

[jccasta1]

She is soooo beautiful!!

[saintandrews84]

She doesn't need to wear short skirts, or tight pants to get attention, because she has the 'IT' factor (stage presence). Girls these days lack everything conceivable to make great music.

[lumpyloks]

OMG LOOK AT PAUL

[bboychoc]

i wish i new her then. hot hot hot

[SIMPFANN]

Since when are they planning a new album for next year? I hadn't heard anything about that. I hope it's true, though, because that would indeed be awesome.

[Zorn76]

Geez, look at her! Look at Letteman! Wow, 1984, what a year. That's when I started having dreams w a "happy ending.".

[RadieCarter]

Go-Go's/INXS was the most amazing concert of my life! Mud Island Memphis Tn. 84

[bettychuck]

nowadays it's more economical to fly! If you have ever seen her on Letterman in her solo years, you can see how much of a crush Dave has on her! BTW, love "Turn To You" with Rob Lowe in it!

[chessmed1978]

Damn, Belinda looks amazing here soooo cute. I have noticed that to me she is one of very few women I have seen that look great with virtually any hairstyle. Go-Go's with INXS supporting I would have paid alot to see that.

[kristinatur]

I would't recognise her

[neodaigo]

wow

[PA65000]

Belinda Carlisle is one of those rare women who gets stunning with age.

[RealTime88]

Women from the 80's are really hot!!! Cher, Madonna, Lisa Bonet, and Belinda Carlisle. I'm only 20 years old but I wanna go back to the 80's sooo bad. Letterman was always great. Today and in the 80's at NBC.

[lvanhalen]

WOW THIS IS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigBlock4Door]

I think Belinda's totally hot-a-rama fer shur.

[easergood]

Hello, shoulder pads!!!

[evolee82]

How cool INXS opened for them

[natsolog]

LOL!

[lifegardgrll]

god i feel old

[mignonhenne]

why wasn't jane there ?

[amateurextra58]

Belinda Carlisle is one beautiful lady. All the go go girls were very beautiful. I hope that they have a reunion with their music! I hope that they have been Blessed in their personal lives by our Lord Jesus Christ.

[ChoirBoyAndrew]

"It's just one big blur..." OMG too funny. The reason it's a big blur is because of all the blow they shoveled up their noses back then (see 1:15)! This was too cute...

[ChoirBoyAndrew]

check that - I mean see 2:15... hehe guess I need some more blow

[doomer79]

Why?, because she touched her nose?

[BennyB5555]

Paul bless his heart looks like a white Stevie Wonder (hee hee)

[jaimej2k2]

Holy sh!t, Paul had hair??

[angelbratzhere]

LOL! MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!

[o0oLinno0o]

Her son James Mason goes to my school, he's in my brother's form

[MissLeigh78]

Kathy roller skates around truckstops. LOL

[lighthouse44]

Letterman used to be funny and likable. Not any more. He turned into an obnoxious unfunny jerk. Maybe he always was and I just didn't notice it. Whatever the case, I no longer watch his show.

[davalos8000]

Yup.. real close to the split.. Jane must have been stuck driving in the rush hour..

[Lexphoto]

Worst interview ever. He has 3 band member sitting in the audience and only talks to Belinda. What a retard!

[toons416]

belinda was and still is beautiful

[beast35214]

Definitely. Although, I think she looks a lot better with long hair

[awwhellnogadammit]

am i crazy, or did michael jackson want a nose just like belinda's? it's soooo frickin' cute. like a button. michael's looks like a butthole.

[closernow]

holy crap, the only thing about letterman thats changed is the set!

[Dieheelgrootstepiel]

Go Belinda - schnarf nog 'n lyntjie! I love you still.!

[jas22]

belinda is so sweet. char and kathy always struck me as shy. and letterman is still funny today. his show is an american icon.

[sandeki]

I was at that Radio City Show, right in front of Jane. It's my fave Go-Go's show. It's New York, Radio City music hall, what could top that?

[ingalambert]

I used to be a big Letterman fan. Now I can't stand him. He hasn't changed in 20 years and that makes him pathetic.

The End

[toterola451]

No, that makes him a pro.

[ingalambert]

She had a crush on Jimmy Kimmel

[werty2000]

I am in love with her

[pittnh]

opening act for the tour INXS....what a show!

[alwaysopen]

I saw them on that tour and they opened for Simple Minds. New wave city and tons of young girls.

I saw the Pretenders with INXS that summer.

[hilljayne]

That's awesome, she's more talkative there then she usually was in interviews.

[gacysdad]

shoulder pads

[kyliecub]

She looks like Blanche from the Golden Girls lol

[sharonneedles999]

OMG, she really does

[pagoshaw]

No kidding!  But Blanche was always trying to look younger so it was how the kids were dressing.

[davalos8000]

Do your math.. this pre-dates the Golden (Hags) Girls by over a year... but yeh.. same bone structure... .. as uh.. Rue McClanahan (???).. spell check on that one lads..

[conspiracistx]

Tense times...they wouldn't even allow the other girls to sit on stage with Belinda not to forget Jane's absence...

[natsolog]

Thanks for sharing this, Chris. :-)
