Go-Go's - We Got The Beat (Wild at the Greek Live '84)

[@suburban60sKid]

I was in the audience! Amazing performers!!!

[@RayDiaz-t3r]

These chicks take me back to such happy times in my life.

[@mgparis]

No words can express how grateful I feel to have been a teenager in the 80s...

[@rebellewis5272]

The 80s were the BEST

[@lazybelphegore6748]

Me too!

[@PhatPhrank]

My mom snuck out of her house when she was a freshman in high school to see the Go Go’s open for The Police. Her very strict Catholic mother grounded her for a month, but she said it was totally worth it!

[@ritaxavier6224]

Moi aussi 😊

[@RafaelSale]

Same, my teenage years in the 80s was great.

[@williampaz2092]

This is 40 years old today - 06 October 2024. Dang it, where did time go?

[@NestingSpider]

I'm almost crying at how "fast" it all went by now that I sit here, 55 years old...such great time to grow up in!

[@kenbrownnyc]

Omg... I was in that audience ... I saw the Go-Go’s several times in the 80’s ... I’ve seen the girls about six times or seven times ... can you say .... Rock and Roll Hall of Fame worthy ... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kenbrownnyc]

@You Tube .. what difference does that make?

[@ashe984]

They are getting inducted this year.

[@navarredr]

I've seen Belinda (yum) live, but not the Go-Go's. I'm envious. Cheers!

[@gallinazon]

Definitely

[@nikkiyoung5298]

if it was in DC in 1981, then i was there too! Either that or they always wore the same outfit.

[@sterlingblake7655]

I love their energy. Especially Kathy and Jane. I love Kathys bass guitar attack!!!

[@Jestak]

I love Kathy and Jane's power walk across the stage at about 1:12

[@berkovac388]

80's last in our best memories...

[@deanarupe73]

I'm a female metal guitarist. But Charlotte was a big influence on me. I absolutely love the GoGo's. I saw them on this tour when I was 13 & they were awesome! My dad worked security for the show and met them. They gave him an autographed poster for me when he told them I was a fan and was at the concert. But because he was working he couldn't get me backstage. They were really cool to him.

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

Hope you still have it

[@holakitten63]

IDK how carefully you follow Charlotte anymore, but she's married to Jeff McDonald of Redd Kross and they've performed together. Their daughter Astrid is also a musician (of course?)!

[@rosewoodfretboard]

Kick-ass musicians EVERY ONE and hot as hell, to boot! Gina Schock on the kit and Kathy Valentine on the bass -- bosses, to be sure!

[@hollowpoint45acp]

Charlotte was the Go-Go's

[@vincegedeon6583]

Who doesn't ❤️ The Go Gos 🔥🔥🔥 and Bangles too I also ❤️ Girlschool 😋

She's an awesome drummer

[@charlesbender66]

Love the drum intro on this

[@petestaint8312]

Same! 👍

[@titan-tm7kl]

I keep playing this version just to hear the intro it's probably the best drum intro on any version of this song

[@TomByron-h7s]

I'm so glad these guys made it the RR Hof

[@jeffmattax]

35 years ago? Good Lord, time flies...

[@dwighta8655]

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the Go's Go's song started that movie on fire. Late 70's and early 80's were awesome to be alive.

[@pst702]

Couldn't have said it better

[@pst702]

Was very lucky to see them open up for The Police at MSG in January 1982... the world can go upside down and music can be crappy today but as long as one has memories like this... it puts a smile to one's face... again I was blessed to have witnessed great music in the 80's.

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

Wow! Must've been a great show. I saw Wings Over America there in May '76. Still have ticket stub and TWO programs.

[@holakitten63]

I saw the Go-Go's on this tour, at the Cap Center outside DC on, I swear, the coldest night of my life until I moved to MN. The show was also my first arena concert, as a dorky college freshman (I learned within a few years that I prefer smaller venues... different story). My friends and I loved both bands, and we were SUPER excited for the show, but! Tickets went on sale well after our semester ended and well before spring classes began. Um, BTW, there was no internet then... Luckily, being from Baltimore, I could go to the fancy department store near where my parents lived and buy the tickets! So 14 of my friends each gave me a whopping $10 and I took my substantial wad of cash to the Towson Hutzler's store's "service" department where they handled all sorts of arcane transactions including ticket sales. NBD, 15 tickets = $150. If there were other fees, so they were so minimal that I've long forgotten them. The Capital Center was well outside the 1982 DC Metro's range, and of course none of had a car (even in 1982 that was a bad idea in Georgetown), so my friends figured out how to rent three TEENY 1981 cars to drive to the show. In the wretched single-digit cold. It was a ball!

[@segon4147]

They like all real preatty and they rock! What could be better than that!

[@renecalderon3001]

Amazing..Im speechless..this girls really rock..2019 no female group comes close this days..LOVE YOU GO-GOS

[@petepalmer9281]

Thats a riff ill never forget hearing in the back seat just a boy it changed everything in music

[@jonrogers5765]

One of the best 80's bands EVER! They rocked. Saw them in September of 1984 in Peoria, IL on this same tour - 2nd row, practically looking up Belinda's skirt. Great memories!

[@paulbivens968]

They were the dam best rock band ever in my teen years. I dreamed that I dated the lead singer in my youth year's I miss the 80s good times fun beach girl's lol👍🤘🤘🎸🥰🥰🎸🤘🤘

[@Earthman99999]

I'm glad the Go-Go's made into the R&R Hall of Fame. Would like to see someone make a film about them.

[@hippiehighpriestess]

they all look GORGEOUS!

So much joy in performance on that stage. Inspiring!

[@jeffharder8706]

Definitely inspiring considering they all pretty much hated each other at this point lol

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

How can you tell they're on drugs? Most drug users behave like houseplants.

[@TrackerNeil]

Charlotte messed up the solo, and if you watch other performances from the evening, she looks pretty blasted. Kathy and Gina share a laugh about it, which the camera catches.

[@rafaelsale6364]

Charlotte was a full blown heroin addict at that time. Belinda was habitual cocaine user at that same time as well.

[@wildersalas2668]

Muy buena presentación

[@rpcomms1]

Thats some time timing on drums! fab song!

[@Danny-ju2ip]

The couldn't stand each other at this point but they still put on a good show !

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

That's not ecactly true. Jane had a legitimate gripe in that she wanted to sing lead more. Afterall, her and Charlotte did the majority of the writing. Drugs prevented them from seeing what a money maker the Go-Go's were, and they fired the only person that ever guided them in their best interest, Ginger Canzoneri, their manager. So, yes, there was friction, but it was specific, not general.

[@TrackerNeil]

@@rudolphguarnacci197 I'm not so sure. The band was doing all kinds of drugs, and the money issues had plagued them for years, so it seems to me there were a number of sources of friction.

[@wahoo89]

Gina's drumming....Damn!!!

[@hefeibao]

Ah, for the days when girls played their own instruments, no backup dancers, no fancy staging. Just great music, live.

[@doordieace5high]

hefeibao A lot of bands are still like that. You just have to deliberately look for newer all-girl bands.

[@piteusx8440]

Kathy Valentine keeps a really good beat while jumping around. She's pretty good at the bass.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@doordieace5high No politics, either

On this day in 1982 {January 23rd} the Go-Go's performed "We Got The Beat" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' One week later on January 30th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} and spent 19 weeks on the Top 100 It reached #3 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart and #29 on the Australian ARIA Singles chart The three weeks it was at #2; the #1 record was "I Love Rock and Roll" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}

Remember when I was 19 yrs old back in 84. I was playing this song while playing my roommates bass guitar. We were getting our drink on getting ready to go out clubbing. My buddy hopping around to this song with a bb gun. Then all of a sudden he spins around and shoots out our back patio sliding door.
