I was a 20-year-old metal head at the US Festival in 1982 when the B-52's came out on stage, to this day I am not sure I have ever seen a band rock the house better than that and they changed my perspective on music, and I have been a fan since. Don't lock yourself into a genre!
B 52s be's almost 52s years old... They are one of the most unique bands in history.. there's a reason why they have been around for so long.. it's called greatness.
Well said and spot on my friend all the bands and musicians all need to take heed to this and have fun it's not about the money or The Prestige it's just about went out there and having fun because without the fun it would just be plain dough misery I'm just there for the money I don't care about anybody else but myself but it's all about having fun and that's what keeps everybody coming back for more.
I want to say thank you to every member of the B-52's for their performance and every thing they have aspired to do. I hope you never stop. To hear those voices and see the beautiful ladies is a breath of fresh air. Much love .
I heard the b52's when I not even teenager but my older brothers and cousins play their music, I grow in my teens,20s 30s now in my late 40s still loving this group,talent, originals,! b52s been in my life forever,good memories and present too, thank you guys you still rock,the icons never end are forever
It such a joy to watch talented musicians creating great music thats outside the norm and it’s obvious they love what they do. Fred has a perfect definitive voice for the spoken unsung song.
How crazy we danced along with them! Were a fantastic part of my highschool years and then the Navy in Hawaii when Cosmic thing came out! I’ll love them ‘til the day I die!!!
I think there might be a bit of regret that they *did* dance that crazy back then - ha! But seriously, how difficult is it for them to do "Party Out of Bounds" now? Bands 1/3 their age would have a hard time doing that song live.
You've gotta love the B52s all now in their 70s, still having fun, kicking butt and making magic on stage. PS I'm 72 and have loved them since the late 1970s. 🤗🤗👍👍😜😜🤪🤪😝😝
The quarantine is never going to end, it's going to transition in to a Marxist Socialist utopia where all your movements will be controlled by the Gov, unless you stand up and revolt
It is disgusting. It feels like I woke up from a dream & everybody is dressed up like Michael Jackson with ridiculous face masks that common sense tells us that if masks don't prevent the wearer from virus coming in then there's no way they would keep a sick person's virus from seeping out. As if we are to believe it's a one way virus that also doesn't spread at riots or protests but KILLS at church and workplaces!
Forget these cynical people and Trust in Providence. I promise you'll get to see The B-52s in concert. You me we I'm going to be okay. Maybe I'll see you there
wonderful and spectacular, the 80s the best musical era of all genres, in English and Spanish, so much musical variation was impressive, and now looking at B52 I have the impression that now they have more fun than in their time, congratulations good video, greetings from Mexicali Mexico
Visti 40 anni fa dal vivo a Milano...sempre nel cuore!!! Planet Claire ha sempre aperto i miei Dj set (Seen 40 years ago live in Milan ... always in the heart !!! Planet Claire has always opened my DJ sets)
i love this song! spacey, mystic, absolutely 80's, when we danced to that music in the disco. the b 52's, such an experimental and unique band! there has never been anything like it ever since. music of my generation, who is still alive and kicking over 60...
Been married almost 36 years and our first concert when we were dating was The B52's at the Zoo Amphitheater in Oklahoma City in '83. Most fun I've ever had at a concert! Pogo danced all night, lol
Awesome. Let me tell you, I saw this tour, I didn’t even know who Berlin was....But good Lord, they were completely awesome! They really rock the house. I was blown away by them. The B-52s were of course awesome as well. So yes it took me a while to become a B-52s fan, but gosh darn it I’m a lifer now. Love these guys so much. What a great night that was.
First heard in UK on the late great John Peel late night show BBC radio one circa 1978, heady days indeed. Saw them at Aston villa leisure centre mid 1990's. No preaching politics just a damn good party band.!
I was at this show. Very fun. The crowd was so into the Rock Lobster, everyone was jumping and dancing and just having a great time. Might be the last time I see the group so, I was very happy to see them at one of the best shows I saw that year.

1978 I was 18 years old and a friend of mine from New York recorded them live off of New York radio station I wish I still had that I lost it over the years it was a great recording
I went to see them at the Sage Newcastle Uk & they still have that crazy edge . So different to anyone else. Great tunes that will last for ever. Long live the B52s. 👍🇬🇧🎸🎼🕺🏻🎤
@@Senna-xi1gr Yeah I saw them 80s in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Very memorable,very weird ! They released a live album from that concert called Rockinandreelinaucklandnewzealand. Unfortunately for them they never had any big hits like the B52s who made a fortune off Loveshack. Rock on from down under ⚡️⚡️👍🏻
I saw the B-52's for the first time in 1978 at CBGB'S I was 13 years old. No I.D. check at the time that was when you felt like you can conquer the world! I was excited to see them and finally, I had found my music scene. No Disco or Hard Rock which was for my older cousins. New Wave and Punk were for me. It was new and exciting and had so much energy. I was a lucky boy to live in NYC at the time
Saw them live in Canada at Festival Of Friends a few years back... unforgettable... they don't just put on a show, they put on a PARTAAAAY!!!!! ... There's just something about screaming out sea creature names and making quirky sounds... that's Soooo much fun, infectious!
This popped up in my suggested videos and after I clicked on it and ready the full title I saw it was at The Mann! I was at this show although way in the back. It was my second B-52s show that week. I saw them in Chicago on Sunday and flew home and caught them in Philly later the same week! :-)
I'm older and kinda reminded today that I'm stuck at home in a certain way. I would so love to leave my personal prison to see them once before they are only a you tube video. Thank anyone who has shared their own experience with these artists

I was at that three day festival. Also went again the next year.
So underrated. Probably the most innovative band of the last 50 years! Absolutely love them ❤️
I LOVE PLANET CLAIRE AND ROCK LOBSTER NOW - IT TOOK A WHILE FOR ME TO FULLY APPRECIATE THESE SONGS!!!!
🤦🏻♂️🤣
true
Except for Devo, I would agree.
How can they be underrated? They’ve been a popular band ever since their first album. Plus they have many hits and are not a one hit wonder.
Still love these guys as much as I did in high school 40years ago. They are an American treasure.
Dindt you like them in the 70s? when these songs came out in 1978 , ;;;
Hell I still love the hair style .
I pedaled my beach cruiser a lot of miles while listening to the B-52s on my Sony Walkman! Can't keep your legs still while listening to the B-52s.
@@theodoreritola9758 They played Rock Lobster on SNL, when it was new, original cast. I was in 8th grade and was watching that night.
Yes I agree, I remember in80s and 90 great group
Let us pay them a lot of respect for what they manage to do at their age. Amazing energy and class
I seen them like 20yrs ago and man they kicked ass! Great show!
Cocaine helps

B 52s be's almost 52s years old... They are one of the most unique bands in history.. there's a reason why they have been around for so long.. it's called greatness.
Absolutely LOVE how they maintain their amazing looks, with the hair, make up, and costumes!
For all the bands and musicians out there....Rule Number One: DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE FUN!!!!! Watch this band for the perfect examlpe.
Absolutely. Another great band for having fun on stage in the UK band Status Quo
Exactly!
It looks like they forgot to have fun, at least for the first few minutes. They look like they have to go to a job they don't wanna do anymore.
Well said and spot on my friend all the bands and musicians all need to take heed to this and have fun it's not about the money or The Prestige it's just about went out there and having fun because without the fun it would just be plain dough misery I'm just there for the money I don't care about anybody else but myself but it's all about having fun and that's what keeps everybody coming back for more.
This would've been a "fun" show👍👍
I want to say thank you to every member of the B-52's for their performance and every thing they have aspired to do. I hope you never stop. To hear those voices and see the beautiful ladies is a breath of fresh air. Much love .
Seriously still 1 of the best bands over the years!!
I've seen them dozens of times and it never gets old!! Been a fan since the late '70s! One of the most iconic bands ever! Keep rockin guys!
Who in the 1980s would have ever thought this band would still be so amazing now?
I didn't...
But it IS!
One of my favorite band growing up, they were way ahead of their times. Glad they are all still jamming!
Totally unique. It is about the greatest thing that any band can have has their legacy
They're having so much fun, sounding great. Puts a sunny smile on my face. Way to go B-52s !
ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS WHO WALKS ON EARTH!!!
Cuando era joven, me gustaba esta banda.... ahora que tengo 58 , estoy feliz de haber escuchado su música y de seguir haciéndolo, gracias B-52's !!!!
"La Musica, La Musica a Los B52's!!"
The B-52S is a great group I remember in 80s and 90s . Glad they are still rocking.
I love the b-52's. Damn shame we all have to get old.
B-52s always make me feel like I'm a teenager whenever I see/hear them, thanks for the great vibes & memories over the years, cheers!
Pure unadulterated fun music. Love the B-52s.
Even after all these years they still rock!!!
I heard the b52's when I not even teenager but my older brothers and cousins play their music, I grow in my teens,20s 30s now in my late 40s still loving this group,talent, originals,! b52s been in my life forever,good memories and present too, thank you guys you still rock,the icons never end are forever
The highlight of my day right here, a whole other level.
It such a joy to watch talented musicians creating great music thats outside the norm and it’s obvious they love what they do. Fred has a perfect definitive voice for the spoken unsung song.
One of the best songs of the last 50 years. So fun and creative.
Who else remembers how crazy they danced when they were young
How crazy we danced along with them! Were a fantastic part of my highschool years and then the Navy in Hawaii when Cosmic thing came out!
I’ll love them ‘til the day I die!!!
Those ladies certainly featured prominently in my adolescent imaginings.
@@gilflores3454 it was the same in Adak when I was stationed there.

Good to see the B-52's haven't lost any of their weirdness in their old age lol.
Just a number.
They have enough weirdness to last the rest of their lives.
@Carl Ronnie no one cares, bot 1.

They're not that old though, here! Not even 60s
Absolutely love this band and all their music. So glad I saw them a few years ago.
May they rock for many more years.
I really hope to get a chance to see B-52s when this quarantine thing is over.
It will never be over. Most of the Sheep have accepted medical tyranny as their new norm. There will never be anymore concerts in all probability.
The quarantine is never going to end, it's going to transition in to a Marxist Socialist utopia where all your movements will be controlled by the Gov, unless you stand up and revolt

Wow this looks like such a good show and it was just about a year ago. They have kept their coolness and edge from way back in the day.
I saw them in feb 1980 in Berlin on a small stage. What an amazing concert...absolutly great performers...
Followed them since 1980 and still enjoy their blend of music and showmanship
Such joy, takes me back many years
Love it- that was an era that broke out of the norm...plus Devo
Don't forget Talking Heads.
Don’t forget Blondie !
The B52s & The Talking Heads. Two incredibly original bands from my youth. Absolutely love them.
Yup. Me too. The B52s, Talking Heads and a very short list of others still do it for me at 64 years old!
They still sound as good as they ever did when I first heard them in around 1979/80. Pure class.
Soo needed to watch this today oh my gosh it put me in a good mood just like that
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm 54, and I was so into them and DEVO back in the late 70's and early 80's.
I was fortunate to see this tour in DC, 2bd time I had seen them first time was in London...1980
Always good!
One of the most UNIQUE bands ever on the known universe !!!!
Saw them during the Cosmic Thing tour in Portland ME. What an amazing concert, one of the best I’ve seen in all my years of going to concerts.
There's nobody like the B52s
Nobody. That's for sure.
Sugar cubes
Thank God for that!
Rubbish! There's the um er OK you win!
@@YourMotivationalLifeAdvice why are you watching ?
This is brilliant! The B's, Terri Nunn and Tracy Wormsworth (The Waitresses) on the bass... on a legitimate CLASSIC tune. WOW!

Yeah I thought so too!
@@Hellwyck We were right there with you!
Huge fan, 79-80 when I was in high school. Saw them live at Midway Stadium in St Paul, MN, about 1995, with the Pretenders. Spectacular show.

B-52 lo mejor 🤘🇨🇱💙
I always loved these people and the fun. We used to go see them at 6 Flags in Atlanta ... The good times I miss so much.

Two great flavors that go great together. Man, I saw them 29 years before this in same venue. Time flies, kids! They are the best kind of kooky.
They're really a fun band to see live! I saw them when I was a teenager. The memories are fuzzy, but I remember we danced throughout the entire gig!

We saw them 5 days before in Metro Detroit!! Oh for the good ol' days of 2019!! 🦞🦞🦞
Planet Claire is my favorite B-52 tune! Brings back a lot of memories form my high school days 😁
I've seen them several times over the decades. Tracy, the bassist, is probably the most under-rated member.
She’s not actually a member.
First heard in UK on the late great John Peel late night show BBC radio one circa 1978, heady days indeed. Saw them at Aston villa leisure centre mid 1990's.
No preaching politics just a damn good party band.!
Always a fun time seeing and hearing them.
Oh I ADORED Terri Nunn in all those Berlin videos back in the '80s! As soon as I say the title on this, I couldn't click play fast enough.
I love "you don't know" video!
I was at this show. Very fun. The crowd was so into the Rock Lobster, everyone was jumping and dancing and just having a great time. Might be the last time I see the group so, I was very happy to see them at one of the best shows I saw that year.
