    saw Boingo many times, but the best was at the Santa Cruz Civic auditorium. You had to be a bit careful though because the middle would be a total pit with people throwing each other.. but we all came away completely soaked with sweat from slam dancing, and it was just the best rush of an experience. In comparable energy! Every song was so much fun

    • @doc_jpeg
      @doc_jpeg 2 года назад

      I know he name-dropped a handful of people, I could only make out "Kardashian" and "Logan Paul", and he changed the last verse to something like "finger on the trigger, you're on top of the world, you'll surely rule over them all!" I personally think doing such a thing dates the performance but I like that Danny tried to switch things up and adapt that song for the modern times I guess.

    • @nuclearcatbaby1131
      @nuclearcatbaby1131 2 года назад

      @@doc_jpeg Yeah that’s what W.S. Gilbert did with the lyrics for the song “Little List” in The Mikado, and the tradition is continued in modern performances (just pointing that out because Danny is a fan of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, they hugely inspired his songs for Nightmare and Corpse Bride). I don’t know why I can’t find the new Coachella version of this song anywhere on RUclips though. Did he hurt the feelings of a few trans kids with that line about wanting to be “androgynous”? Haha at least he still has a sense of humor about the whole political spectrum, that’s becoming rare nowadays. I recall him saying on Instagram that he used to be able to debate with Republicans and not view each other as mortal enemies.

      They played New York in 1985 as far as I can find online, not 1987. The end of the video says 1985 so I'm going with that. I saw them in 1987 in California for the Dead Man's Party Tour!

      The concert available shows 1985 at the very end. Also, none of the songs from the Boi-ngo album (1987) are included, so this would have been after Dead Man's Party was released (1985).
