The B-52's Rock lobster Part 2,very rare

[directorlog]

video was really suffering in the 70's 80's lol

[sparrowhawk72]

what a treasure!

[FlyinMunky40]

Hahaha description: this video has very poor quality. NO DUH!!

[13thFloorRockLobster]

in 1 word: Totallyawesomegreatfantasticou­tofthisworldthebestthingever. Got that? lol

[RockSalami]

The best song starts at 1:10, - Song for a Future Generation

[em90919293]

the second song is called??!

[tecdessus]

@em90919293  " song for a new generation" from the `WHAMMY! album

[Kickingit06]

The 2nd part looks like something from the Brady Bunch variety hour. LMAO

[youtert]

This looks like it's from the 50's or 60's.

[kyuss91]

this sounds really corny for some reason? i mean even 1940's music was appealing and older b52's but this..

[780triment]

The B52s rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[0pine0tron6000]

"Rock Lobster Part 2"?

Why did I think I was about to get Rick Rolled?

[yracheta63]

[LIAIVI]

[nchq]

vous n'auriez pas plus vieux par hasard?

[phaedra64]

This IS the summer of my youth in Saudi Arabia, party on, the 52's were and are STILL kick ass

[truana26]

como viejito el video....

[Grygazol]

Oh no! How could this stop right before Ricky sings "NOW!"

Thanks for the Rock Lobster clip!

[lovattsarah]

did they never do a B-side called simon templar...

[spaceblanket]

Ricky Wilson the guitarist was Cindy Wilson the blonde singers brother. Because there was not a bass in band , Ricky was innovative in that he had strings on only the 5,6,1,2 positions of the instrument. He died in the 80s I think. he was also responsible in forming the band.

[genXer3]

Thanks for the info spaceblanket & berndawg123. Do you suppose that Ricky's death was the primary reason why Cindy left the band?

I know it was some time after his death, and I'm sure there were other things that factor in.

[101Volts]

Cindy never left the band, She was absent from the band in the recording for their Good Stuff album though.

[genXer3]

The guy, bottom right- "Ricky" died sometime during their peak. I'm not sure from what though. Great party band.

[berndawg123]

he unfortunately passed away from aids in 1985

[ClarenceFisher]

I think if he were alive for "Cosmic Thing", it might not have been the "dish of ice cream" it turned out to be.

[iamsww]

It does look like 1918! Which is fantastic. I love the idea that Edison was the first to film the Bs.

[sks939]

Why not edit Part two and Part one together to get most of Rock Lobster together, then post video of "Song for a Future Generation" separately?

[QVXS77]

looks like 1918 not 1978. I think Edison recorded the first part

[travishayes1989]

Shut up Q, the first part was what is known as bootleg footage.

Bootleg implies not perfect. In the 70s it was even harder to get perfect quality, just look at how some of the Elvis Presley clips from the 70s look, a whole lot of motion blur.

[angusproductions]

o nvm i didtn watch the whold video

[angusproductions]

that part isnt that rare i hear it all the time

[Zekitcha2]

On that very same day, the Sex Pistols were presenting their last gig in Winterland/Frisco. Last live than they ever were.

GiantsNo1, greetings from Brazil!!! Hope you have enjoyed the Rock in Rio videos.

[TalkingOcean1]

@Zekitcha2 Yes I have!! Thank you so much! They sounded so awesome performing live in Rio!

[Cocopupcocoa]

Too much! Hot hot HOT! SFFG is great as well - lipsynching - it's too funny and cool! The audience after RL is fantastic to hear from those early years - what an impact on the music/fashion scene in '78

[carloscheesey]

it's a live vocal, can't you tell?

[love2register]

Everyone was excellent on RL especially considering how early it was. Keith in particular sounded flawless.

[giantsno1]

Yes it is!

[hm4steve]

This second song is Song For A Future Generation isn't it?

[tiana1017]

u got it dude !

[musicman63]

who cares? Its still great to see it...LOVE them in focus or out of focus...I LOVE The B-52's forever!!!!

[giantsno1]

Mt guess it was a home video camera from 1978 that weight 75 pounds and quality sucked LOL

[cpxiexie]

This show was certainly broadcast from another galaxy... What a mess... ...around!
