[bigjimi57]

....Fred @ :26 is PRICELESS!!!!

[bigjimi57]

This video is so amaaazing! U did a great job with the lyrics sync & framing

[chrisbbbbchris]

how in the fuck does this have only 300 thousand views? what the fuck.

[MrJaygiorgio]

really great ~ continuous inspiration!

[DavidLeeT]

I saw these guys live at riverbend 2009 such a great show :)

[spohey]

суперррррррр! привет из россия!!!!

[Prusin66]

What I wouldn't have given to have been there,

[xtubalnet]

This is some serious kick-ass stuff !!!

[1717896]

The B52s eles são demais.. ja não faz musicas boas como de primeiro. Hoje e somente modismo. não tem mais classicos como B52, Pink floid, Scorpion e claro o grande David Bowie que amo de paixão

[aguardow1]

better music... I'm in BRAZIL... este grupo,,, is very very cool ... BRAZIL... BRAZIL... viva futebol...

[QuantumBasis]

One of the best bands of all time!!!!!!!!!

[MrSmokingfrog]

Good times. Less than a year later Ricky would be gone.=(. R.I.P. buddy. Your riff's live on forever.

[DanzDas]

partyyyyyyyyyyyy

[lathekin1]

wonderfully chaotic ! just like the huge Rio crowd !

[damianelrey]

la mejor cancion sin duda alguna de B52 como private idaho o rock lobster ahhhh

[TheBazman111]

Completly amazing bongo playing nice one cindy.

[TageSavage]

She's on fire with those bongos! Totally hip.

[luckystar85]

Fenomenal! todo lo que puedo decir. Elllos son los BEST. Quien es el que toca la trompeta?

[luckystar85]

Fenomenal!  todo lo que puedo decir. Elllos son los BEST.

[101Volts]

I think Rolling Stone magazine is mostly to blame for the confusion between Ricky and Keith. I remember they had an article about them and they said Keith was the guitarist which, for the time, wasn't wrong but they said that Ricky was the drummer, Implying that Keith was always the guitarist. So there you go.

[bchbrt]

i love this party mix version,there are just too good

[BruisedMedia]

Did anybody get referenced to this song by Family Guy?

[JohnnyLovely2]

@BruisedMedia no wtf what does family guy have to do with this? don't tell me they used the b-52s again UGH

[harias37]

!Esta es la cancion que todo mundo bailaba! ya que solo tenias que saltar! que epoca indiscutible la mejor!! !!!!QUE VUELVANNNNNN LOSSSS 80sssssss

[YESSI1808]

@harias37 te apoyo!!! la música de los 80 s fué the best of the best!! B-52, debería seguir vigente, no ha habido otros como ellos, su música era super para bailar!! les pongo un diez!!

[soymuchocaliente]

[LonEr4evah]

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

LOL Fred SURPRIZE!!!

[DonGenarosDog]

We still <3 you Ricky, wherever you are.

[Squeaky1423]

I need to see this band, have loved them since the late 90's, wow!

[mzzh]

[PalmieriRacing]

@mzzh Boingo!

[TheCornrowedcowboy]

@mzzh Yeah, she's so stylish and sexy spanking those skins, and we won't even discuss Kate(Oh my goodness! Umph!) These funky chicks from Athens, Georgia have got it! Who would have 'thunk' it? "Whoa oh oh KATE, Kate, Cindee ee... These are the girls of the U S A, the principle girls of the U S A!" The main 2 of "52". I'm craving the Party Mix.

[sm6161]

they still totally rock. Saw them in Rhode Island in Aug. 09 and they kicked ass.

[nutherefurlong]

nice write-up

[TheHoopify]

Cindy is freakin hot in that yellow dress with her statuesque supermodel body and the b-hive!!She's workin the catwalk, er, stage!lol!!!

[Shadowlily21]

[MuzzikLvr]

Look at the description. The words Talking Heads, Moon and Rock are all included.

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

@Shadowlily21 because I love both this song and that song.

[789pequignot]

[osoplus]

[conservativefloozie]

I saw these guys in concert twice at Ravinia in Illinois......I never really saw the show because both times I danced my ASS OFF the whole time. Excellent

[101Volts]

Fred at 2:54 Lol!

[Virtue7]

[phishhed44]

Wow.

[purvrt]

[MarkNobes]

[gvt2u]

My favorite B-52's song. Love those bongos.

[CletusGranderson]

Thanks for posting this - great quality

[Pwnpitar]

i wish they'd make them a rock band/guitar hero game with tri-vocals

like beatles rock band

[flaviogoncalves]

I was there in 1985, one of the best moments ever. I saw them again in the funplex turne in Orlando this year. Cindy still dances and sing with the same energy. Check pump, the new hit.

[Leighbo1]

GO Cindy on those bongos!

[MYJESUSROCKS]

bee hive hairdoos are hot and the b 52's are too

[stevelegrand]

Kate wailing "Parrrrrtyyyyy!" in Portuguese....is priceless

[Zekitcha2]

I am Brazilian and I would never guess what she had said. Once you tell us it is in Brazilian Portuguese, I could guess it was "Festa", in a real Rio de Janeiro accent. Dragging the shhh sound. LOL

Thanks for telling us.

[fivebentleys]

Kate is the bomb...yummy

[CandyFishCowbell]

RiP, Ricky Helton, you are sorely missed, Sir. Hats off to you BIG TIME Ricky, I love your stuff.

:(

[101Volts]

Yes, Helton was his middle name for those who may be confused.

[projetoallien]

que horas eram essas , ehim ??

a galera do metal tá stoned !!!

surf... forever.

[petedako]

how great to see this clip! i was in the middle of that mud-soaked audience at this show!

[luiscarag]

Da Bomb! Cutting Edge! Still my Favorites!

[madreitaliana]

B-52s'

eccezzionali.

[Zekitcha2]

Ricky "gone out of bounds" at 4:50. Naughty look at 5:04. LOL

[vinylbob]

Ricky was just an incredible guitarist

[101Volts]

@vinylbob Yes, He was.

[stretchmonster2]

What a unique tune!!...I hope the B-52s are remembered for their inventiveness, not just a band with catchy melodies...and Kate, thanks for wearing that mini!!

[ELPEPE350]

donde puedo encontrar la misma cancion pero en estudio por favor ponganla

[madreitaliana]

Molto bello il ritmo

Ottimo complesso

bene bravi.

[pilcherd]

i wonder how ricky managed to get through the last 2 shows?

[Kidrocksis]

I've been listening to this song for 26 years and this is the shit! Cindy is right there.. just jammin! What the hell did we do without Youtube in the 80's ! You kids now-a-days are soo fricken LUCKY! All I could do is stare at my albums and wonder what it would be like! IT STILL IS A PART OF MY SOUL TO THIS DAY.. AND FOR THE REST OF YA.. DON'T LET GO!

[lacucas]

Ricky we miss u foreva' =(

[thesupeshow]

Too Kool nice job,,Cheers

[mfactor88]

gotta love the wrong lyrics displayed...sigh

still who can keep still on a b52s clip

[101Volts]

Whoa I didn't think I'd ever see Ricky playing a Stratocaster! I really like the sound of it from 2:00 to 2:10 (Doesn't sound like that in the studio version)

[SimonDolan]

Ricky must have been really ill there.

[jffilhote]

i was 8, and remember all that collors, those songs, wigs....i liked too much. incridible first rock in rio!

[RUDYCUTY]

Never heard this until today, see what happens after you get married and marry a metal head!

[zandras3ddo]

i just love cindy

[Hammiegirl88]

He does look a bit skinny. How did Ricky Wilson get the virus?

[oranger2525]

the old-fashioned way.

[Hammiegirl88]

I don't get it what does that mean the old-fashioned way?

[oranger2525]

sex.

[Hammiegirl88]

Oh how did u ever know that ur smart i never suspected that cause i was born in the 90's and not the 80's so i guess i dont know much about him.

[mrdreamsisasleep]

I'll be to blame when the party gets out of hand in Birmingham July 23rd!!

Awesome band...welcome back!!

[hibernatus]

Thank you, guys!

:)

[aldacanal]

I became one of their fan because of that festival where I watched them performing live on TV.

[maximoal]

Impacted¡¡¡¡¡¡

[leftcoastskeptic]

This is the frikin best ever...omg

[ronycastro]

Rock in rio - que nostalgia do caralh...!!!

[stereoloov]

C'mon Cindy!!Hit those bongos!!!

[KNXCPLNJ]

the best band ever.........................

[Raiderfn31]

is ricky on this? had he already died?

[WEAKKNEED]

Ricky Wilson appears on the left at 1:25 between his sister Cindy (in the blond wig) and George. Again at 1:50. There are close-ups of Ricky at 2:05, 4:05 and 5:05. I think this was his last tour. From what I remember 20 years ago, he felt sick after this tour. About 5 months later in October '85 he died

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Who's to blame?!

[psaavedrat]

Tal vez este sea uno de los mejores festivales de rock de los 80. Sólo pasen una vista a todas las bandas que se presentaron, de todos los géneros y lugares posibles. Fantástico.

[stevelegrand]

Sergioone62---that is no DEVO hat.....it's a lampshade----the quintessential article of clothing featured by iconic partygoers who get "out of hand"....

"Who's to blame!!??"

[offcameherhead]

I think all participants are to blame when situations degenerate, clearly indicated when a party is, as they say, out of bounds. One of my favorite 52's songs ever.

[stevelegrand]

Youngbunny-- "Party Mix" (that priceless vinyl that warped in your car) has long been available on CD---paired as a double album with the ep that followed, "Mesopotamia". It belongs in ANY true B-fan collection! Get thee to a Virgin Megastore, pronto!

[marvinp01]

Hey! that's Queen's lighting rig

[blackmore4]

My word, those girls have strong arms! Kate's ever pumping bass left hand and Cindy's bananas bongo touch leave me weak.

[richievald]

un grupo original al q no se le puede encasillar, porque son creadores de su propio estilo, el estilo B_52

[yur1944]

Notables!! que buen grupo los b 52's han dejado huella.

[alanowens3]

could my favorite band. i knew it the instant i heard the first song back in "the day"

[stevelegrand]

this is my favorite song by perhaps my all-time favorite band....I will NEVER forget the first time, in 1980, when I slipped the needle onto that 33 1/3 vinyl LP....and heard "Surpriiiiise......Paaaaaaaaaa­arrrrr-tyyy!!!!" for the first time ever....

I was in a dorm room full of B-52 fans....and we all went APE-SHIT! Good times!

[intrepgun]

word. sounds cool.

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Great stuff ,fantastic history. Thanks

[yuppiemobile69]

1985...OK, on further inspection, I found two shots of the guitarist early on...he certainly didn't look "sick" at this point, but anything could have made him decline quickly. Overall, in rationalizing my last post, I think the shots are REALLY off of Mr. Wilson (guitar)...but then again, he was kicking ass to even show up!!

[robert671014]

dlaczego B52 nie bylo w Polsce??????

[RusskogoYiazika]

Because... Well, I really do not know.

[yuppiemobile69]

Where the hell is Ricky Wilson? I can hear really classic guitar riffs, and see Cindy and her other bro, but was he on MIDI and actually dying in some hospital of AIDS? Where is he?

[DickVain41]

Ricky died of aids in 1985.

[Nemova]

There's no other "bro". Ricky was her only brother.

[Zekitcha2]

Brô, o brô dele mora atualmente em Goiânia e estuda Medicina, valew?

[doubletrouble467]

@Zekitcha2 Mucho gracias

[Cat983]

If you were a geeky looking guy who was awkward and out of step trying to dance the hustle at the local disco, the women would look at you like you were a horse's ass. They wouldn't even talk to you. Take that same guy, have him smoke a joint; put him in a new wave club where he and everyone in the place is dancing to Party out of bounds, and the guy would go home with a fist full of phone numbers.

The B52s were so much fun, "Who's to blame"!

[0166four]

" LOL " hit that nail right on the head ....

[Cat983]

The B52s were so much fun, "Who's to blame"! The fast bongos just kill me.

[Blip925]

Saw them this summer in LA 07... FUN FUN FUN...

[youngbunny]

party out of bounds was an album they releases in limited edition that was all longer dance remixes of their songs plus some new ones. It was amazing. I left mine in a hot car one summer in the 8os and it warped. I have been looking for a replacement ever since... amazing album made for partying.

[BronhaMatinal]

You mean Party Mix?

[16sag7]

You can't say this band was not unique. Strangly fabulous.

[wells5150]

underrated band!

[roddersfortysix]

Not at All!

[doublemtr]

the intermede at 4:36 is crazy

[zavinullava]

Damn, I never suspected they were that good - the only full album I've known is Good Stuff, which sort of explains why. Fantastic.

[replicas79]

great great great....80's rules!!! BRILLIANT!!

[yxb1353]

What is Kate saying in place of "Par-ty!" the 2nd time around? (sounds like Portuguese, no real sur-PRI-ise there ;-)

[michaelbohon]

Cindy on the bongos - always a treat !!!

[TheRealInvaderZim]

I watched it again and feel like a party gone out of bounds---whose to blame? great , thanks for posting this and the others :)

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Some really good stuff here, near the high point of the early songs,thanks for posting this video

[sidrocker]

IT'S PARTY TIME!!!!! Thanks Ricky for this great performance!!!

[Zekitch2]

Who'd think at that time of The B-52's down here? That was an important festival, coinciding with the end of dictatorship.

[replicas79]

brilliant music!!!!!!!!!!!

[remain0in0light]

Fred's 'monster' was hysterical.  Anyone got a vid of that?

[lavitroladeldiablo]

Wow, boys!!!, hear it again and realize how much the Red Hot Chili Pepper´s guitarist, John Frusciante, owes to Ricky Wilson

[dadatarantula]

yuk !!

[skyjellyfetti]

wow, ricky is CRAZY on that guitar!

[skyjellyfetti]

I remember listening to this song for the first time and getting this awesome 80s dance/party vibe from it.

Great live, too

[Nemova]

Ricky. :_(

[monkeytrousers]

Ummm...Cindy is a Goddess!!

[Blip925]

Y E S....  I UNequivocally agree

[monkeytrousers]

Ricky Wilson was/is an unsung genius. Cindy is/was brilliant Godeses!!

[monkeytrousers]

LL Ricky...

[akafrank]

"old friends?"  EXACTLY

[SaveYourCity]

[michaeleena]

old friends,friends indead,thanks
