Oingo Boingo Farewell - Insanity

[@oscarlugo8126]

This was my first concert when I was 14. Unforgettable. I always recall those creepy puppets.

[@xxxsaraHelloxxx]

Mine was Styx and Aerosmith in 1976. At 16 i thought it was awesome but they were trashed. Lol. 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

[@racafritz]

They had the creepy puppets there on Halloween night so, the kids that sang in the background could go trick or treating. The two nights before Halloween there were real kids singing. Insanity was the first couple songs so, it was early for the kids to go home after.

i'm seeing it now and i swear, i'm under a spell!

[@Fasnic]

Whoever took you, Always Adore. I would be Honored to have been there, as a Lover of music, to give this as their first concert!

[@thomasobrien1213]

Oingo Boingo is literally the OG of Ska Punk. One of the best bands EVER!!!

[@FredFukkinBear]

Love the way Danny Elfman always looks like he was plucked right out of his own living room, wearing a t-shirt, shorts and no shoes, and put on stage.

[@alexandrablair8826]

That and him yelling "it's like one giant orgasm!" before only a lad are my favourite things of this concert

[@jdssurf]

rollins is the same, love it

[@MysticRhythms87]

The last hurrah for Oingo Boingo...at the time. And then several members would continue to perform over the years, and now Danny's back on stage. Never say never, folks! Serious respect to every one of the guys who ever played for the band. Fuckin' love them.

[@murraythefurry]

I will never ever forget this show!!! They played 4 nights, and I had tickets for the second and last night. How I miss Oingo Boingo! The anticapation was electrifying before the show started, the whole house was jamming, even the ushers were dancing.....and so was the entire audience....all the way up to the ceiling.....sigh....I miss you Danny Elfman.....

[@Arsenico971]

The goblin, the jester, the singing puppets and Elfman's sick look in his eyes, this was just so epic and atmospheric, a wonderful creep ride.

[@ShrinkingDad]

I saw them for the ninth and final time on this tour at the Universal Ampitheater in L.A. We got to go backstage and meet the band. I had Danny Elfman autograph my ticket stub. What a great night.

[@scottmcmullen8178]

perhaps the greatest over looked band of all time... the lyrics... Elfman's vocals.... the instrumentation... the way each song is put together.............. the message, the power, how smooth it all seems (live)!!! especially, this song seems as fresh and relevant as it did all those years ago.... a band ahead of its time.... Bingo will last forever

[@nathantwilight]

Thank you Mr Elfmann, and crew. When I got Tinnitus I knew I had something in common with you.

[@pinky2305]

I was only 9 when they did their farewell... So THANK YOU so much for posting all these videos. They really help me see what kind of band they were live...amazing!!!

[@emdc68]

Never thought it would ever happen again after this concert...just watched Elfman and Bartek do Dead Man's Party at the Bowl. What a treat - best Halloween ever post this 1995 concert.

[@curtmartinson5441]

I saw Boingo the first time they came to Salt Lake City and the last time on their farwell tour. This looks like the concert i saw . They are a amazing band

[@protoxero7754]

Holly sh** i would kill to have been there for this. This right here is why he's my idol! The showmanship alone puts all others to shame.

[@creepycakezz]

at 6:28 when he throws the sticks and grabs the mic to go all out singing is so awesome.

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

I was there, one of the best shows of my life. A total experience! Not one person sat down for the entire concert!

[@CristinaSantos-pw4pt]

Danny is wonderful composer & musician I love it

[@karensteffani1523]

I was there, Universal Amphitheatre in the 90's, one of the best shows ever.

[@johnrodriguez2682]

I was there also and yea one of the best shows ever!!

[@rebelwarrior007]

I was there too and at the Verizon (Now Verizon gone & demolished into making apartments) It was a Awesome Concert. Looking for this on DVD but only was released on VHS. Drummer Johnny Vatos Hernandez still performing with the originals of Boingo. Still miss Danny Elfman.👍 👹🐱💀👺🙀

[@karensteffani5968]

@@rebelwarrior007 I saw them at Irvine Meadows in the 90's too. And have been to see their cover band, they put on a good show. Nothing compared to the real thing, but I'm always nostalgic for the 90's. Such fun times! 👹👹👹

@David Burgess 👀☹

[@rebelwarrior007]

@@karensteffani5968 yes I agree this concert was recorded at the Universal Amphitheater (Universal Studios Hollywood) in Studio City then it was changed to the Gibson Amphitheater and that was demolished and replaced to Harry Potter. A shame part of our history of music memories is gone. I have all Oingo Boingo in vinyl and cassettes in great condition.

[@tb-wy6ov]

This was the first CD I ever had when I was a child it broke my heart when I found out what a farewell tour was though

[@thestranger8716]

I knew Josh Freese played drums with everyone but I didn’t expect Warren Fitzgerald on guitar in this video. 😆Vandals are everywhere

[@davidburgreen2469]

I was mainly a "rocker" in HS in the early 1980s, but Oingo always was on my stereo at home. :-)

[@weets69]

Finally, a full live no holds bar version of this epic OB song. Damn!!! Long live DE and Oingo Boingo

[@necrosis221]

Started seeing them in 1985...never missed a Halloween concert...greatest party ever!

[@retiredmanager510]

I saw Boingo Live at St John Bosco high school. Then New Years in Long Beach, Irvine Meadows, Riverside, Universal Studios.. up the coast to places I don’t remember, I missed the US festival and that bums me out to this day.

these old videos of boingo mean so much to me! endless thanks for posting these. i was 2 when this gig took place, and i'm on the other side of earth, obviously i'll never get to see danny live unless i travel all the way to usa from russia... and yeah, as an asexual saphhic woman i can say that danny elfman is one sexy man. here, i said it.

[@KrystalHarwood-z1b]

sicko

[@markclayton3514]

This song is mesmerising. I wish someone would find a lost album by the mighty Oingo Boingo in some studio somewhere, and release it. Actually, strike that! I wish I'd never heard of them, then I could discover them and acquire all their output and love every minute of it.. There's nothing to hope for since the split. 😭! My favourite though, of all their output, is Islands... Another moody one. But it's really hard to choose the best out of what is ALL best!

[@Acujeremy]

A millón years of evolution we get Danny Quale. HAHA such a bizarre line.

[@caseypons]

Damn there was some energy in that house that nite wasn't their. And who better than Danny to bring it to a crescendo . I'll bet there wasn't a dry pair of Jammie's in the house. Get em Danny!!!

[@erikfinkel2717]

Oingo Boingo stalked you so Slipknot could chase you at full speed

[@briangrigsby1842]

They came and played a t a fair in Cocoa Fl. way back after first two albums unbelievable. I made it to the front stage getting slammed the whole time. Two people over 40 were there and the rest kids.

[@thegame890]

If you look closely, Danny is using a teleprompter. No wonder, because they played like 40 songs, yet recorded the whole show for a commercial release. Its cool!

[@doorran]

really dystopian... I like some of the imagery a lot; other lyrics aren't as exciting for me.. but there is no denying the talent in the music.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

@@teaveins1466 Yeah he’s a sheltered White man who doesn’t know how to care for minority constituents. And he’s proof that the White race is devolving, which will accelerate if abortion is banned I guess. Is it just me or does this song sound weirdly alt-rightish? I don’t mean the groypers or Trump sycophants, I mean the fancy pants Richard Spencer types, they hate mainstream conservatives as much if not more than the left does, since you know the religious right thinks believing in evolution makes you a Nazi, and the alt-right loves Nietzsche who thinks Christianity encourages mediocrity and making believe we’re all the same or whatever. Mainstream conservatives aren’t allowed to be openly racist so they sneak around by being racist on a subliminal level that they’re probably not aware of anymore “Christian nation make us pure and white/white perfection is my goal” interesting word choice, almost like a Freudian slip. And “imitating reality” he’s talking about living in a simulation/simulacrum. Pretty sure Danny read Baudrillard before The Matrix made it cool.

I saw this tour at the stop before Universal Amphitheater. It was at the SDSU Open Air Amphitheater. This song opened the show. I somehow got to go backstage and got Danny Elfman to sign my shirt and my ticket stub. The whole night was electrifying. An amazing concert.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

I went to see him in concert last October. Couldn’t get anywhere near enough for him to sign anything. He’s scared to death of COVID (and probably the vaccine too, at least that’s what “Native Intelligence” sounds like to me) yet somehow people are selling signed copies of “Big Mess” on eBay???
