The B-52 hicieron su primer concierto en febrero de 1977. 34 años después, el día de San Valentín de 2011, regresaron a su ciudad natal de Athens, Georgia (EE.UU.) para celebrar un estupendo concierto. Con su peculiar aspecto retro, la banda ofrece un sensacional y cósmico concierto de 7 minutos en el Athens Classic Center. La fiesta y la marcha están servidas!!!!
Taken in one concentrated best-of dose, it becomes evident what a coup The B-52's pulled off when they turned their own concentrated craziness into genuine hits. This is some of the weirdest stuff ever to make the charts, much less beloved by the masses. It's all here through the mad surf guitar of Ricky Wilson (and later Keith Strickland), the banshee wails of Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, and, of course, the, um, well, let's say vocalizing of freaky Fred Schneider. "Party out of Bounds" with a "Rock Lobster" on "Planet Claire," or "Roam" over to the "Love Shack" in "Private Idaho." Whatever you do in The B-52's universe will at least be good, clean, perverse fun
Newborn Baby (singing voice)
La familia Pickles se enfrenta a la mayor aventura que puede vivir cualquier hogar: el nacimiento de un nuevo bebé. Mientras los padres esperan impacientes la llegada del recién nacido, Dylan, su hermano mayor, Tommy, y sus amigotes piensan que las travesuras del retoño amenazan su estilo de vida y por ello tratarán de devolverlo al hospital de donde vino. En el viaje a la clínica, los niños se pierden y acaban en un enorme bosque poblado de sombras amenazadoras, un lobo, un misterioso mago y una manada de monos hambrientos que se han escapado de un circo.
Produced in collaboration with MICA-TV, Summer of Love is a public service announcement produced for the American Foundation for AIDS Research. Featuring The B-52’s, David Byrne, Allen Ginsburg, Quentin Crisp, John Kelly, and others.
By November of 1980, the B-52’s had two albums under their belt and were two months away from their debut Saturday Night Live performance. The New Wave band were quickly rising to national fame, and they were still touring with the original lineup which consisted of frontman Fred Schneider (who in this set’s liner notes is credited as playing both the glockenspiel and “various toys”), Cindy Wilson, Ricky Wilson, Kate Pierson and Keith Strickland.
