Belinda Carlisle performing "Circle In The Sand" live and being interviewed by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show (6/16/1988). Captured from my old VHS tape recording.

Man, Belinda was SO adorable at age 29!!

[@christophertudor4727]

Belinda was popular here in the UK for many years.
A ridiculously talented and gorgeous artist with possibly the most beautiful pair of eyes I've ever seen on anybody! 💞

[@StevensonStrikesBack]

God she’s just adorable 😍

[@michaeldishler9673]

Amazing - stunning

[@BillysFingers]

I love her voice, and this is my favourite Belinda song, i could listen to it forever...

[@mikeobrien6704]

Watching the Go Go's back together at the RR Hall of Fame in 2021 performing and killing it was great to see.

[@glennozburn9296]

Yes it was!

[@stagecoachal]

Usually when I watch a Belinda Carlisle performance my eyes are glued on her - for obvious reasons! But this time I found my gaze drifting frequently across to the guitar player. He is very good. He has a great sense of time and rhythm and control over his playing. The solo is imaginative and very melodic - much better than the original. Compare this with the same song performed on the Runaway Horses Tour - no comparison! Well done Mr Rick Boston - you are clearly a cut above the regular back up guitarist. I wish you had also been hired on the Runaway Horses Tour.

[@BillysFingers]

I noticed this too, yes the guitar work really stands out

[@StevensonStrikesBack]

Gawd I love this song. Underappreciated classic, overshadowed by Heaven is a Place on Earth…. So different but just as good. I’m glad she still includes it in live shows to this day….. and she’s done some amazing acoustic versions too.

[@joseportillo3417]

Lovely Belinda !!

[@DEEP_PRACTICE]

Such an amazing vocal! Thanks for sharing this. 📼

[@danielmarshall7095]

I remember this exact time i was sixteen and watched the Johnny Carson show all the time it's like almost going back in time.

[@TehKaiser]

Thank goodness for preserving this!

[@SallyAlexandriaAlexParakeets]

Fantastic interview.

[@user-mj8nf2vp7q]

Back when live performers could sing even when they weren't lip-synching.

[@moonbananababy6870]

Great to see and hear singers singing not rapping or lip synching

[@muffs55mercury61]

I was working nights at the time so I missed this telecast. Thanks for posting this great memory. This is beautiful.

You ain't alone dude

[@johnhuber354]

Wow,
Belinda Looks Like Ann Margaret.

[@leonskum.5682]

Gorgeous

[@kylec8051]

Wow, so many comments about Johnny and his questions, but none about Bill sitting next to her. Weird!

[@Go_for_it652]

Only on the Tonight Show

[@sebafloyd1]

[@geraldlewis8272]

Thanks again Forever much

[@davidragland6161]

Who is the guitarist?

[@GeeBee909]

That is ace guitarist Rick Boston

[@VooshieLurks]

I was wondering the same thing. I thought it was Terry Silva from Karate Kid 3.

Belinda watch your cup when you’re sitting next to Cosby!

[@AJRabies]

Man Johnny is obsessed with hair color. How about talk about her music... the song she just sang.

[@clydestewart3174]

Back when they could really sing

[@xyzxyz997]

She looked so amazing here. Not sure about the interviewer though, went on about green hair a bit too much

[@mazdafiero112]

Adrian Paul on guitar.

[@stevenwinans3489]

NOPE!! That is RICK BOSTON playing guitar, & Eric Pressly on Bass, & the dark haired back-up singer is Donna DeLory -- who sang back-up for Madonna for years....

[@jamesmuller1481]

Great performance. Bad quality video.

[@Lexarflashdrive]

ah yes, the slow degrading process of vhs recordings

[@stevabobic]

This is probably a tape overdubbed a several times and when we have the fact that You Tube overcompresses the video and sound, the end result is this kind of garbage...

[@shazam1969ish]

Not a good song for her

[@DizzyCloud12]

@@TheLionTheLambRom1221 agreed this song is a banger one of my favourites

[@rebecca75588]

@Suzanne uh negative it's an excellent song,....
