You listen to their tunes and they sound a little weird & kooky at first until you realize how fkn brilliant those hooks are .. truly, an underrated group of musicians.
They've brought so much joy to the world its immeasurable! A really lovely bunch of nice talented people! Love Shack just never gets old, still a floor filler to this day.
Damn, they are SO cool. The outfits, the performance - incredible stuff. I’ve always really loved the interplay between the three vocal leads on this song and it’s even more fun to see that dynamic performed live!
32 year old live performance!! such a wonderful song. Love that they sound so raw and organic every time a bit different. I love they dont sound the same over and over which sometimes is expected. Harmonies are insane. So cool to leave your finger print for the future generations this way.! love rules, so stay away if you’re a fool! love love love !
Every movement and utterance with purpose and yet feeling spontaneous makes this band a modern day Mozart in performance and edge. So constantly obsessed. They are going to be my life epitaph recording after life. All their performances on vid and repeat.
Joshua Brooks, When was this first released, again? I only discovered them in 1980. As much as I loved their music, I didn’t follow them, really. But, I think I still have their yellow album, that I got late ‘80s, early ‘90s. Somewhere. In 1980, I used to dance at an open-all-night New Wave club a whole lot. That’s where I first heard “Rock Lobster”. And another one of theirs, can’t recall the name of the song, though. That was 40 years ago. And, you’re saying that this song, “Love Shack”, came out in 1990??
I love how you can tell Fred is in absolute awe of the girls talent. He looks over at each of them admiring their incredible harmonizing . Made my heart melt 💜
I remember seeing this airing on Letterman and thought this was the weirdest song that I've ever heard. But as they began playing it more and more on the radio it eventually began to grow on me.
I noticed that at 3:39 there was a local station callout @ the Lower right corner. Ironic B/C that's where I was @ the time that I watched this very performance in its first airing in 1989. What are the odds & how cool is that?!?!
Thats Will Lee. He was bassist for the David Letterman show. One of those session players who can speed read music and learn songs on the fly. Great singer too. Still at it today.
Now this is what I'm talking about for a live performance. Notice how it is Kate that says, "Rusted" . That was clear as a bell and should put to rest that the word is Busted, even on some lyrics. Just saw them last month here at the Portland, Oregon Zoo. Now that was a great performance. Thanks for the suggestion and link to follow from my account. Jeez, that was almost 20 years ago, and the B's are still going strong. And sound just as good as this performance. Thanks again! JF
When those two ladies harmonize, it's magic.
And so fun!!
Yup I still get chills
Are you including Fred?
@@coolasice2187 no, he does his own thing
They aren't even harmonizing correctly. Amateur vocalists.
Jesus .....I never realized how great the B-52s were until now.
What a great band!
same happened to me. I heard them over the years. They’re a great band
Damn right!
You're very right!!!! :-)
I've known since 1979 ; p
What you hear in this live video is the EXACT sound you hear from a controlled studio in the 1980s. Super live vocals from these "3 front men."
You listen to their tunes and they sound a little weird & kooky at first until you realize how fkn brilliant those hooks are .. truly, an underrated group of musicians.
The hooks are what make the good bands brilliant
Yeah, man. Their 1980 SNL performance was also just perfect.
They've brought so much joy to the world its immeasurable! A really lovely bunch of nice talented people! Love Shack just never gets old, still a floor filler to this day.
We didn’t deserve these guys. Not then. Not now. We are truly blessed
So much fun and so unique
Saw them this week. Their "farewell tour." Still one of the best party bands ever. Highly recommended.
They did a show in Phoenix years ago and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Saw them for this tour in '89 and again in '03. VH1 called them the ultimate party band and had a 52's party give-a-way.
They just played in Athens, GA 12/14/24. Still sound amazing!
They belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Trailblazersndud their own thing....crafted their own sound. ICONS!!!
I am so glad this was my youth
I always like the fact that they look like they're njoying themselves
One thing that strikes me about the B-52's is how much fun it looks like they are having. No wonder they are still going strong.
Damn, they are SO cool. The outfits, the performance - incredible stuff. I’ve always really loved the interplay between the three vocal leads on this song and it’s even more fun to see that dynamic performed live!
Kate is the adult version of Pebbles Flintstone in this and I'm here for it.
I was born this year and my dad played this song when I was a child. Great music
They always brought the fun and energy, every time. So fantastic. I'm so glad I was a young person when these folks rose to fame.
Two of the best female singers ever... Band always awesome!
Absolutely! I loved the energy!!
Their chemistry was fabulous.
Lovely Cindy Wilson, there's no B-52 without you.
It sends chills down my spine still after 34 years. Love the B52s.
The blonde is not good looking to me . Which means she must be a great singer
@@salt27dogg
Sultry and sexy!
Sheesh. That live performance has more energy than the studio cut.
😍🥰😍🥰😍
Kate's voice gives me goose bumps all over!

👌💐🙏
Kate & Cindy’s voice’s are just perfect💯👌🏼

i used to hear my mom play this in the car when i was a kid and i absolutely hated it. i hated it so much
but now i absolutely love it
It's hard to believe that this song and album turn 30 years old this year.
I know right! What the heck?
Makes me feel old. Hahahahahaha
Joshua Brooks, When was this first released, again? I only discovered them in 1980. As much as I loved their music, I didn’t follow them, really.

Traekas7! Album came out in 1989 but got took off in 1990.
Almost 36 years now lol
Kate Pierson's voice... gotta love it.
Merci... pour tous ces grands moments de folies
Doing it live. So awesome. They were their own thing.
I ALWAYS LOVED DEVO.😅😅😅❤ BECAUSE THEY WHIPED IT GOOD.!!!!!😊😊😊
je suis Français, j'ai 62 ans, je les ais connu dans les années 80 et quel bonheur encore aujourd'hui ! ❤❤💕💕
Great Video, With The B 52s and Paul Shaffer and The World's Most Dangerous Band
Not lip synced and most excellent performance ...Bring me back to those days
Reminds me of my 1st year university in St. Catharines, Canada (1979-80) .... always played this song whenever we had a party.
They're so plainly all enjoying the song. That's the way it should be.
love kate's voice
i'm 55 and this is aewsome
harmonies are very complex, good arrangement
Those girls had some pipes
Damn, the girls harmonies are insane!
This take me right back to late '89 when I was in 10th grade.
I love how you can tell Fred is in absolute awe of the girls talent. He looks over at each of them admiring their incredible harmonizing . Made my heart melt 💜
I never liked Fred's voice but I still like the song
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 He adds to the originality of the band, though his singing is not at the same level as Kate and Cindy.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867
I love his voice!
@@laswan5 I've learned to like it .
i'm 55 and this is aewsome
harmonies are very complex, good arrangement

Kate and Cindy. I am literally drooling!
I first saw them in the 1980s at the Forest HillsTennis Stadium (Forest Hills, Queens, NY). They were great then and, for me, are STILL great.
I watch their show in Brazil in 2013 . They are brilhant !!!!!!!!!
TIN ROOF RUSTED.... one of those unforgettable iconic lines in rock music...
i'm 55 and this is aewsome
Age don't matter!
I'm 65 and it is still there. I still have this CD!
@@rahkinrah1963
I'm 71 and love them!
MY GOD - THAT WAS SO GOOD! Loved the Most Dangerous Band in the World just getting into it with the 52s. Such good Sierra!!!!!
Thank goodness for RUclips so everyone can see how it’s done.. live with no auto tune!
B-52's are so underrated
Not at all.
Nah they’re about evenly rated. Not great - not terrible - very weird musicians.
@@EnginesandElbowGrease Sounds like it...the guys whos fucking searching for the Love Shack footage....typical...fucking fuck.
Watch The B-52's - Full Concert - 11/07/80 - Capitol Theatre and then tell me how you really feel.....
@@EnginesandElbowGrease Not to say all their songs later sucked but when Ricky Wilson passed, their songs weren't quite as great.
This bass player is doing some great work. Best part of this song;
That is Will Lee - original recording played by Sara Lee - no relation! :-)
Will Lee!
Will Lee, one of the best!
Even if it isn't the original line.
One tight Grove being layed down for sure
I remember seeing this airing on Letterman and thought this was the weirdest song that I've ever heard. But as they began playing it more and more on the radio it eventually began to grow on me.
They're 2 of the most rocking women ever.
Great performance! Fred is the metronome of their live performances. He must be exhausted after every concert!
Absolutely stunning.
Such a cool unique sound. True entertainers.
How can you top one of the coolest music videos. B-52s live.
I can watch Kate dance all day!! Cindy is awesome too.
Oh, her movements. Class.
Why an excellent Funky group,what a shame they don't make anything like that today
Qué increíble banda, suena impecable! llegué aquí por la voz de Kate Pierson y su participación en Out of time de REM. Escuché su voz toda mi niñez!!!
I LOVE the B52s, but only because they're so much fun!
Well, Fred has talent...
yes!! that and vibe energy
I'd say the girls have some nice talent as well in singing. Very unique sound, I think. And Ricky Wilson had a nice guitar sound.
Ya no volveran a salir grupos como B52, absolutamente maravillosos....
Por eso vivelos
Excelent performance👏👏👏
This. Is. Live! Unbelievable!
These guys and gals put on one hell of a show !! ❤❤❤❤
love kate's voice
Makes you feel like the beat of life could never end.
В первый раз я услышал эту группу когда мне было 13 лет ,магнитофоны тогда были тяжёлые,а я таскал ,и сх пор меня не оторвать от B-52-S....
Love this so much!! Can’t get enough
Saludos desde Lima/ Perú 🇵🇪 . Quien está viendo este vídeo en este año 2021
I noticed that at 3:39 there was a local station callout @ the Lower right corner. Ironic B/C that's where I was @ the time that I watched this very performance in its first airing in 1989. What are the odds & how cool is that?!?!
One of the funnest songs ever made.
Love you guys…..I just sit on the porch and swing listening to you.
that's what you called, live performance without auto tune kids,,,,,awesome! b52's still rocks!
Such harmonies.
this song is really beautiful
I love this group. Great party music
This performance is timeless...
Holy shit did u notice how quick they went on stage not even 5 seconds and they start. I can't even get a drink lol
i did notice that too! lol
I'm drunk already
Yeah they started playing so fast!
It is called on the one
It is "Jump Swing "
They are a National Treasure. Love.
From when u found weird bands through friends and trips to the record store!!! Love that time of my life!
A great dance band, miss the old dance clubs, not saying at my age I still got the moves lol. Ty B- 52s
Can't get enough of that song. It's their best by far. I've probably watched the official music video 100 times or more.
Great performance! Everyone sounds amazing! Killer bass player! 👏🏾
Thats Will Lee. He was bassist for the David Letterman show. One of those session players who can speed read music and learn songs on the fly. Great singer too. Still at it today.
Yup… the great Will Lee. Always nailing it!
Just what I was thinking. I'm a massive fan of the B-52s and this is such a great version with that bass line.
I am sad that I grew up past the 80's and 90's they were the best years for music cars you name it including the b-52's
sebastien joseph, Agree with those 2 decades. But, in my case, I’ll add the music 🎵 of the 1960s, 1970s, and a tiny piece of the ‘50s for flavor.
@@traekas7228 I was going to say something very similar!
"I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands"
Superb Performance!! Such an inspirational band in my life
I still have this on a VHS when I taped it when it aired.
Damn, I'm freakin' OLD!
Fred Schneider has always been my favorite...
Now this is what I'm talking about for a live performance.
Notice how it is Kate that says, "Rusted" . That was clear as a bell and should put to rest that the word is Busted, even on some lyrics.
Just saw them last month here at the Portland, Oregon Zoo.
Now that was a great performance.
Thanks for the suggestion and link to follow from my account.
Jeez, that was almost 20 years ago, and the B's are still going strong. And sound just as good as this performance.
Thanks again!
JF
The lyric is - and always has been: "TIN ROOF, RUSTED!"
Beautiful music ❤
Who can not love these guys ❤️
GREAT SONG!!!! Love it.
I Love the B52 !!!
Paulo Bajko from Santo André city São Paulo state Brazil.
One of my favorite bands!
Saw the b52s back in the day when the came to Australia and man what a concert!!!!✌️❤️🙂
The definition of cool.
One of the prizes of my record collection is a Radio Promo copy of this song
what an amazing band- 2020 nothin like that !!
Fred has great moves but he doesn't always show us. He did that night...
One of my favorite bands of all time!!!!
I don't trust anyone who doesn't dig Love Shack
What a perfomance..... Very great song.... Love it sooooooo much!!!!! Thank's B 52's!!!!!!! :-)
They are so underrated. So much fun, you have to smile. Who else does that for a?
