Go-Go's - Vacation (Rockpalast '82)

Go-Go's "Vacation" Live in Berlin, November 3, 1982
Lyrics:
Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
That you won't be in
When you looked at me
I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should've known all along
That time would tell
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

SONG REMINDS ME OF THE GREAT OL’ DAYS, THE’80’S!!

[@glamgal7106]

Being a musician myself, I can definitely hear the Go Gos' punk background in this performance; additionally I've learned about the band's formation. Because I've never had the opportunity to see them perform live, I've seen a number of KZbin videos of them performing this song in which Jane Weidlin provided harmony on the "I still haven't gotten over you yet" lyric. Though this isn't in "Vacation's" original recording--at least what was released to the public--I believe that this bit of harmonizing added a very nice touch to the song as well as displaying the band's musicianship...especially given the time because it wasn't exactly heard of that female bands could play their own instruments and write their own songs...I firmly believe that Go Gos broke music barriers.

[@bogsy3407]

gone the days where bands can actually play AWESOME music. always have the biggest crush on Belinda and Jane. :)

[@south2357]

Louder.

[@SamhainBe]

Man, I'm 23 again, just finished college, and got my whole life ahead of me...Thanks for posting!

[@markhooren5530]

They were absolutely fantastic!

[@jeffharder8706]

What do you mean “were”? They still are! 🤣

[@user-rc7wm7ib5e]

HOW TRUE,Back in the DAY ,THEY PLAYED THEIR INSTRUMENT,s AND WROTE MOST OF ALL THIER OWN SONGS 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️✌️😎BOB!

[@dogfather68]

That was a spectacular live performance. The voice and sound was amazing too, especially since it's a bit faster than recorded vinyl.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Pretty hot performance right there. No weak links in this band. Belinda is radiating confidence.

[@ACobra289]

That was tight!

[@luisvelazquez5420]

Beautiful and talented. They have my respect.

[@jahjah67]

Jane was a sweet little thing back then. Better live band than I remember and this song still holds up. A pop classic

[@Texaslawhorn]

1982 baby here. I was born exactly one month after this on December 3rd. This is definitely one of my favorite songs from my birth year!

[@Julie-jq1sy]

There was this Music era and this American Idol Era, with all the judging and no dancing and texting, no dancing. I liked the Go Go's Era with music and dancing, Belinda Carlile, feel good music.

[@Piratedavessaltylife]

Belinda was a Goddess!!

[@nightreaper1824]

Belinda Carlisle looked great at any weight!

[@greggluck5459]

Hottest band of the 80s.

[@scottbaron121]

LOL! No.

[@philippus67]

OMG still have a major crush on Belinda!!!

[@Kohntarkosz]

I remember reading that Charlotte Caffey used the Roland G-300 she's playing here to recreate some of the keyboard overdubs she did in the studio. So it makes perfect sense that at least on this occasion, you can't hear the damn guitar synth.

[@patluciano5321]

OMG 😮 The year of this song is the 80s I love The GoGos old songs just like old times when I saw them in concert as a 15 year kid 🧒

[@grupomilano4268]

Bellísima Katherine Valentíne

[@campodonico7]

Gracias ...

[@philfischer4115]

back before pro tools when Talent decided who was played on the radio. Man those days are gone.

[@Kohntarkosz]

Actually, it's less of a matter of talent deciding what got on the radio as it was your record company pay the payola requirements of the DJ's who played the records.

[@philfischer4115]

well, a little of both....I had two #1 and never paid a dime.

[@daveg4236]

Phil Fischer never heard of you. So calling bullshit

[@user-nb3ut2tz2s]

Молодые, красивые девчонки. И Белинда такой мне мне нравится куда больше, чем в клипе Circle In The Sand. Может, играют пока не так круто, но энергетика это компенсирует. Слушаю в январе 2024. Привет из России!

[@achobrother7128]

lord have mercy🥰

[@foodlifeetc.8566]

Gina playing the drums in what appears like a tutu type of skirt :-P

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I miss new-wave girls.

[@beatrizfloresescobar1153]

LO MEJOR DE LOS 80 MUSICA DE MI EPOCA

[@cindyland6273]

Induct these talented musicians into the ROCK AND HALL OF FAME!! Only ALL Female Band, Song writers, paved the the way for punk bands like "Greenday" & Avril Levine. First female band to have #1 Album!! 🎵❤

[@rapman5791]

This def looks like they were tired and just mailing it in. An underwhelming performance that was filmed in Europe on one of their earlier tours. Belinda’s voice is cracking and the rest of the girls keep up well. However the drumming of Gina Schock is just as good as any rocker in the business!!

[@jeffharder8706]

I totally agree. This had to be near the end of the tour. They all look pretty ragged. Especially Charlotte, but they kept it together for the most part. Kathy is on FIRE in this video

[@mdkfc7911]

3:02~3:06 After Charlotte Caffey finished playing, she shook her head to the staff. Was it because she was dissatisfied that there was something wrong with her guitar? But I really like her serious attitude towards every sound and instrument.

[@garyvandecar2580]

Jane Wiedlin Are there any Germans out there.

[@rickey24100]

leonardo dicaprio?

[@mikecarter218]
