Available Now: mercury-studios.lnk.to/B52Wil...
"With The Wild Crowd!" was recorded at the Classic Center in the B-52s hometown of Athens, Georgia in February 2011. The gig celebrated the 34th anniversary of their first ever live show on Valentine's Day 1977. A B-52s live show is always the best party in town, yet here in front of their home crowd they even managed to turn it up a notch further. This is unashamed good time rock 'n' roll packed with great tunes, wild romance and a lot of fun. Fantastic musicianship is added to the trademark vocals of Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson to deliver the unmistakeable B-52s sound as they deliver a set list packed with classic songs. Simply unmissable.

@@modemmack I disagree. Listen to the vocals on "Roam" or "52 Girls." Those two women sound like angels when they sing together.

@@Tessmage_Tessera It's a great song and the vocals are perfectly fine for what it is. In my opinion, they both have serviceable vocals. I think music and singing are highly subjective though. To a select few folks, they sound amazing. To most, they sound...fine. Think about it: What famous female vocalists couldn't sing those parts. If you say virtually all of them, you are correct.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

This came out in 1978... 34 years before this performance. When you think about bands that age, the B-52s still have their old sound and it is pretty amazing how close they come back to it even without Ricky Wilson who died many years ago.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

@Steamed Hams I think many do, but they have succeeded wildly without him because of one member who plays the guitar the same way Ricky did.

Thirty-six years passed between the first time I heard a B52s song and getting to finally see them perform live. Tried seeing them on earlier tours, each time some problem prevented me from going. Finally, at the Tobin Center is an Antonio, after thirty-six years, I found myself standing third row directly in front of Cindy. The girls hit every note, spot on with every Eee-eek and wha-wha-whaaa animal sound. When Cindy sang Give Me Back My Man it was no less passionate than it was in 1980, maybe even more so.
