  • kate has an incredible voice there is no denying

  • This took guts back then. Indie and Alternative were not mainstream like they are today.

  • LOL tell me! Do you think Elaine from Sienfield got her idea of wordrobe from the B-52's?

  • I don't wanna goto Hell! Don't wanna goto the Devil!

  • Goddamn I love these cats! Stone cold metalhead thinks more bands should have some flair and a sense of humour. B-52's fucking kill!

  • "I've got the devil juice in my carburetor."

    Lyrics are great.

  • Cindy's smokin here.

  • They're r so awesome, completely original style.Cindy's completely mesmerizing at this point in the band's career.She's really sounding great during this Funplex Tour too.

  • makes me think of some the dates I have had over the years :-(

  • Too bad they had to use the dorky psychedelic effects on this video. It would have been wonderful to revel in Cindy and Kates beauty, voices, and unbelievable sensuality without that. Thx for posting!!!

  • Very interesting footage, amphigorous!

  • Great! Love them.

  • Love ya Ricky!!!

  • were can i download this song?

  • The album version of this song is in The B-52's "Wild Planet" Album. I'd recommend getting the entire album.

  • @101Volts Damn skippy...

  • After watching this again, I barely recognize Ricky in this video. (0:23-0:30)

  • 3rd below, I dissagree. I think Cindys opportunist, energetic fun bags solidified the New Wave sound and gave me the oppertunity to say 'Not Alf', 'Full Mast' and 'Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm'.

    I will honour Cindy tommorow and also solidified the New Wave sound by going to my local sandwich shop and buy two HUGE baps.

  • The guitar in this version is so raw. I like it!

  • Kate and Cindy were best at harmonizing their vocals which was in contrast to Fred's voice and was a unique signature to the

    B52's.Likewise the guitar and keyboards solidified the New Wave sound and it's interesting that the band is still the most popular and longest running New Wave band.

  • all live music sounds like crap compared to the controlled setting of a studio. This video was shot some two years before they recorded Wild Planet in the Bahamas. LOL

  • Not all live versions of songs are inferior to the studio versions. In some cases they can be just as good if not better.

  • Ricky Wilson is God!!!

  • Hear Hear!

  • Hey there! I pulled these out of my tape collection. According to the B-52's Universe they shot these videos in a TV studio in 1978.  They were using them to promote the band to NYC clubs.

  • love it! great memories. cool that you got your hands on a copy of my 80s music video sampler reel. you should put up the black flag stuff from 688... killer

  • hey hillbilly when and where was this original sampler put together?

  • you tell me.. ;-) you have the demo. must have names and dates on it? i'm too old to remember. lol

  • that is the best book ever written

  • Too awesome!!! I hope someday all ther performances in full are found... it is such of a teaser! :)

  • wow, this is awesome! where is this video from?
