If I had a time machine, I would A) use it to stop Hitler, and B) see all these Boingo concerts that I missed, due to the fact that I wasn't born yet.
It's rare when a xylophone can command the backing melodies like the one ALL the way through this song. Intoxicatingly beautiful. When those guitars kick in over that solid bass line, it's not doubt what makes Danny Elfman so brilliant in his compositions. I never got to see this band live and regret it to this day. Easily among the best bands the '80s offered.
Probably my most favorite Boingo song of all. Too bad you can't see the visuals being projected on to the screen behind them. I remember this tour from a long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far, away.
One of the few advantages to being my age is having been able to see Boingo when they were still playing clubs in LA. what a great band and what a great memory.
@nick1137 I think all of their live concerts were outstanding...Danny is at his peak here...The world's best live band...besides the Police they are incredible too...Just great music and great talented musicians.
Hi all....I'm Ahuge Boingo FANatic....Saw them for the first time at a festival near Toronto in 1981 called the Police Picnic(Guess who was headlining???).
Anyhow thanks to all who posted all Boingo videos.
I would be very grateful if anyone knew the link for this entire concert.
I have tons of Boingo concerts etc if anyone is interested.
Thanks so much for this - the clarity of the taping is excellent! Saw Men at Work, Icehouse, loads of local bands at The Ritz in the 80's but never knew Oingo Boingo was coming to NYC - amazed that I missed an opportunity to see them live.
was at this show...incredible wall of sound...the 'old ritz' was my second home...an incredible layout for a venue...so much room...man, I miss that place...
@seanwtfgamer Unfortunately Megaupload is no more after the FBI shut it down. So all my download links are gone *sigh* I wonder what site would be the best alternative?
I was born in the wrong era!!!! I never got to see Oingo Boingo ='(

Good, I'm not the only one with a crush on Danny Elfman. I think it has something to do with my Mad Genius fetish though.
