The Go-Go's - Mad About You

[Starbuckfsd]

It never surprises me when they do covers, it's 99.9% of the time BETTER! They definitely have their own unique sound. Nobody will ever recreate it...

[screenhorrahfan]

This might have been a Go-Go's hit if they didn't break up back in 1985. The song was slated for the possible (but never recorded) 4th Go-Go's album... Crazy how life goes...

[APRIL62318]

I am partial to the original

[IgorM65]

WOW! I love Belinda!!!!!!! She is one of my absolute idols! I didn't know she's still playing live with the band, perfoming the Go-Go's hits and her solo songs. She's absolutely BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING!!!

[gogomike75]

awsome!!!

[haloclyne]

According to Belinda's autobiography, this song was originally a Go Go's song, which was to be on a 4rth album... which never came out (at least not in the 80's)

[maddymud]

I had always hoped they would start playing this ... now, if they want the healing to continue, they need to cover "Hazy Shade of Winter" ...

[elephantfan85]

Didn't Jane sing backing vocals and I thought Charlotte played on the original as well. I recall thinking it was almost a Go Go's song at the time.

That Graces album is one of the most underrated records of all time. There are some really great songs and performances on it.

The quality is terrible, but great tune.

[clintnio]

So I like this tune a lot...and I like how it is a bit heavier with the Go Go's live. But I think if they are going to start throwing Belinda songs into the set they need to throw in Jane Wiedlin's Rush Hour. Just sayin.

[JCBullock1959]

agreed - and some of the Graces and House of Schock and Delphines, too

[david30918]

@clintnio  damn right, jane rocks

[hilljayne]

@clintnio They performed COOL PLACES that same night.

[Cicilo1983]

So nice that they included this amazing song in their live set. Belinda hasn't been performing "Mad about you" in her solo concerts for so long now... it's time she put it back in !

[chillidogdupree]

great performance--better than the studio version...

[DelsFan]

I took a buddy of mine to see the Go-Go's in Chicago the night before this show - he was shocked at how rocking this band is. If you ever gets a chance to see the Go's, this is no pop band when playing live. Buy a ticket, drive to see them! You will not be disappointed. Rock on girls...

[joeyron1]

We went to see them in 2002, in No. CA, when we still lived there, at Luther T. Burbank Ctr. and they STILL sounded spot on!! They got over their petty differences and do shows now but not trying to really prove anything, anymore as they r SO established! The 80's were the best in SO MANY ways, with the BEST tunes and MANY artist's that opened the road wide open. Hey, remember when MTV was good??!! Oh, the opulent 80's!! ROCK ON:-)

[oldmudhopper]

great vid!!

[Tweety101a]

I was not born yet but i still left them, I missed the fun :(

[Knugabug]

That '85 Go Go's album would have been amazing. "Blue Kiss" Go Go's line-up: oh my. I.R.S. just ripped them off blind. Their royalty checks were a joke compared to other artists with the rate they were getting.

[fresnoca559]

thanks for the video

[robstr12]

Thank you so much. It almost brings tears to my eyes. The memories. My youth, our youth. It will never be the same.

You can't go back.

Regards,

Robert

[ericnwren]

damn dude, U said it all especcially the U cant go back part....i feel the same way!!I miss them times so much

[mika7367]

bloody great memories,thanks girls!

[newsprod]

i was at their concert in Vegas, my fourth of the GoGo's, and never had they done a Belinda solo song, I was so excited, I scared my friends!

[Gina97xls]

listening to Belinda and the Go Go's brings back so many great memories from my high school and college days! they STILL have it!!!!

[wildbilltexas]

Whats with the briggs & stration banner behind them? Were they promoting lawnmowers on this tour? Nice Version!

[prjr1973]

This is absolutely brilliant. These women can do no wrong in my book. I love their music and i love their chemistry together. There is no one like them. By the way for those who didn't know,"Mad About You" was originally written for the Go-Go's 4th album by Paula J. Brown (who replaced Jane) before the 1985 break up.

[BCK]

These ladies are PRO'S!

[reerocks]

Makes me smile!

[pagoshaw]

Originally Belinda and Charlotte Caffey were going to be a duo and be credited as such on the first "Solo" album. But Charlotte wanted it "JUST" for Belinda.

[Cooperdog1985]

prjr1973, a movie was to be made about The Go-Go's however they put a stop to it after the "Behind The Music" special aired. They all agreed it would just bring up a whole lot of dark memories, and also most of them are now wives and mothers and they didnt feel as if airing all of their past escapades would be a responsible or fair move.

[JosephKuby]

Were they a female Motley Crue or something?

[natsolog]

Sorta

[JosephKuby]

Cool.........tell me more! :) :D =) =D

[natsolog]

Groupies, opening acts, rodies..you name it, they did it. Their tour with INXS was wild!

INXS talked about it in their autobiography. They all slept with earch other and there were a lot of drugs involved too.

[JosephKuby]

Coolies, thanks.

[wildcatter63]

No, not by a long shot. But you might want to check out The Runaway's...They kicked Motley Crew's ass... Joan Jett and Lita Ford togeather... Nuff said?

[prjr1973]

These 5 women are FABULOUS!!!! When is anybody going to make a movie about their story? It's long overdue.

[scarcastic]

Sounds totally Go Go's. Brilliant. Never thought I'd hear the Go Go's do a Belinda song live...

[smac929]

great clip, sounds awesome!!

[coathangerkid]

I was at the Chicago show the night before and I was floored when they played this. Rumoured to be one of the last songs they wrote before the 1985 break up and reworked into a huge hit for Belinda. Totally awe inspiring to hear it played in the 'original' Go-Go's style. Great stuff!!

[onealchris]

Awww, that's cool

[edgela]

mambojimbo rocks! Thanks!
