I worked the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans and made sure I had the night off for the Go-Go's concert and perfect seats in the amphitheater. The show was amazing, and no one had any idea that the band was falling apart. The place went crazy in response to the delivery of quality sound and all the dance moves and antics we hoped to see in person, and the girls enjoyed themselves together as much as we enjoyed them. That night remains one of my favorite concerts of all time. So. Much. FUN!!!
I was there too & they doubled bill with INXS. '84 was an amazing year for concert tours. Culture Club, New Order, U2, The Smiths, Depeche Mode & even that little girl Madonna...................................& on & on & on. Tickets for $20-$25, AMAZING!!! Best year of music for that decade. Ticket prices these day are totally unworthy of any artist. Sorry.
They definitely deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. They were the first all girl group to write and play there own music to have a number one hit, Ground breaking. Belinda is the best female lead vocalist of all time and the drummer was real good. Just a bunch of talented women.
Oh whoops, I didn't realize this was filmed in 2000. Okay, so now Jane doesn't look so young anymore but at the time of filming this documentary, she looked ageless. :P
Why aren't these extremely talented girls in the Rock n Roll in the Hall of Fame yet? Let's face it, any of us born by a certain time absolutely loved the Go Gos!
@@ratagris21 Yes, it was about time when they did get inducted last year, 15 years after they were initially eligible. Still hoping Belinda will be inducted herself, for her solo career.
The lead singer of a band should not be allowed to use her voice on a solo career without paying royalties to the Band she left. The lead singers voice is unique to the band while instruments are easily reproduced the drummer has no chance at a solo career. Belinda would be nothing without the song writers, I love her voice but she should do the right thing and split the royalties with the other Go Go members from her solo albums. The other go go members made Belinda what she is today and she should repay them.
All these ladies look remarkably well preserved. Charlotte looks and sounds great for someone who was such a serious druggie (compare to Ozzy Osbourne who sounds like a...well, brain-fried moron sometimes), Belinda Carlisle looks more stunning now than she did as a cute but chubby youngster, and Jane Wiedlin somehow does not age. At all. I don't know how it's possible. Men are always saying Susanna Hoffs doesn't age. While she looks good for 50, she does look old. Jane doesn't. Just wow.

I believe that amphitheatre was right on the river so it would have been cool if they sang old black water or rolling on the river or something.

I used to sneak into my sister’s record collection and borrow their Go Go’s records. I had a crush on all of them. To me they were all beautiful.
The best way to break a friendship is to start a band together 🤦🏻♀️
I love most of what Jane has done solo. Definitely check out "Kissproof World."
"Oh it's great, especially to not have the shadow of The Go-Go's hanging over my head."
Wonder what the other 4 thought of that?
Belinda made cracks like that a lot, although to be fair, I imagine she wasn't the only one.
Eligible for induction since 2006.

this is from 2000
@@aprilgosa6315 The Go-Go's are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
They're in the RNRHF class of 2021.

Amen to that and a dam good drummer as well.
At least 2 of the girls were getting royalties, the manager that doesn't give themselves credits in the fine print is a good manager.
Maybe it's just me but Gina has always been my favorite Go-Go.
It's just you. Lol. I loved Belinda the moment I heard her songs on MTV.
It's not just you.
Gina Schock is the Best Drummer in Rock & Roll.
Mine too.
Same ❤
In 2000 Kathy Valentine was just coming into her long prime as a knockout smouldering bombshell 🥵
sorry im just a guy...so sexy to see girls in band singing good songs and they are rocking!
love all these girls. But, Belinda is my goddess:)
God Bless the Go-Go's is a great final album!
The painful reality is...Jane was and will always be jealous of Belinda! The truth hurts.....

She lost the weight in her heaven on earth music video she looked way skinnier

Only Belinda cannot play an instrument, but can sing.
I seen her play the hardest instrument for anyone to play and i didn't stare that much or anything but i could tell it was very good .
