The B-52s were celebrating the 34th anniversary of their first-ever live show on Valentine’s Day in 1977 in the same town. This disc is also the first B52s concert now officially released on DVD. Not surprisingly, as the group had no new material to promote, it’s a retrospective of their work from 1979 to their last new studio album, 2008’s Funplex.
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
BC-52's
Двое закадычных друзей Фред Флинтстоун и Барни Раббл уже много лет работают на каменоломне в Бедроке. Однажды начальство каменоломни решает провести тест среди рабочих, дабы выявить способных работников, которых ждёт повышение, а остальных — просто-напросто уволить. Фред уверен, что не пройдёт этот тест и совсем потерял надежду, однако его добрый друг Барни, жаждущий отблагодарить приятеля за всю помощь, которую тот ему оказывал, незаметно поменял ответы на тест Фреда на свои. После чего Фреда повысили на работе, а Барни уволили. И чем шикарнее со временем становилась жизнь семьи Флинтстоунов, тем меньше крепла дружба Фреда и Барни.

This classic Vegan Society video remains one of the most entertaining and informative introductions to veganism. Viewers will learn why avoiding meat, leather, dairy and eggs is not only the most healthy way to live but also the most compassionate. Highly recommended for both existing vegans and anyone considering becoming a vegan.
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.
