Summary:
This is a terrific document of the group shortly after the 2nd album release. They play the 2nd album in it's entirety as well as most of the first album. It's b&w, but well lit, good audio and every second of it is here. The original lineup (they look so young!) bursting with creativity on their first tour as headliners.

I took my daughters to see Blondie for their first rock concert and the B-52’s opened for them. They were incredible and my older daughter still remembers how great they were

[@KathrynKenimer]

They have a song named Debbie in honor of Debbie Harry!

[@mpc3po]

UGHHhhh..Cindy!!! that voice---so sexy raw and soulful. Love Cindy Wilson

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

Ricky Wilson was one of the baddest guitarists of the late 70's/early 80's. Hands down.

[@cliffordototivo]

He's incredible man. R.I.P

[@terce8120]

This song fucking RIPS! Too good! B-52s are severely underrated from what I’ve seen

[@lyndonnilan1112]

Ricky Wilson was a really good inventive guitarist.

[@the4bidden142]

Ricky is definitely underrated 😎

[@forestdwellerresearch6593]

Musicians die upon us. Definetely he played some great guitar.

[@deadreckoning6288]

Well said. He was highly underrated in my book. A phenomenal guitarist. Tragic that he died so young.

[@evanabbott2737]

He was awesome.🙏

[@IEW_7]

Keith Strickland is an awesome drummer. 🤘🏼🔥🥁

[@simiacanis1283]

"He's got his cloven hoof on the clutch." One of the greatest lyrics ever!

[@darengraff7730]

My all time favorite song from them.

[@donpeace894]

indeed

[@loulagramoula]

Agreed! "He's grinning door to door" is genius too!

[@RCAvhstape]

When they show Kate up close you can see that even though she's doing the moves making it look like she's having a good time dancing and playing, but she's actually super focused and obviously practiced intensely. She's almost scary how hard she's concentrating.

[@deadreckoning6288]

She was usually doing 3 things at once.....singing, playing bass & keyboard at the same time. Super talented.

[@coastallad1010]

She is so in sync with Ricky,she makes the difficult look easy.

[@cliffordototivo]

I'll always listen to the B52's 1:36 a wave of pure rock took over. Incredible band. With love always and forever. The B52's. Surreal how music can make you feel. Let's dance to this forever. There ROCKIN

[@SANITIZEDINC]

One of my all time favorite songs.

I cry with joy when I watch these videos.

I thought I was the only one and I’m 61. You got that right nothing but joy and memories.

I love ‘80-83’ performances. 👍

[@joannsiravo3720]

I remember these days, listening to this, driving back home at 4am jersey shore to phila from a weekend of dancing. God those were the days.

[@andrewpotok2661]

Same here. Driving back to Philly from the Poconos. After a weekenders of partying. Thank God the b52s music kept me awake. Ty

[@MegaElvisd]

Why didn't they keep playing this live? It's a stone classic.

[@goodtoGoNow1956]

Fred felt that bad things happened when they sang it so they stopped.

[@dougdoesall]

wow.....I am a huge fan, and am always surprised by this band. They are just so good. A hodge podge thrown together garage band, and I am still forever surprised by these early videos. I love this song, and what a terrific performance. Thanks for posting.

[@Meanstoend]

This is really great.

[@murrayirvin3177]

"I don't need no batteries, I got the Devil in my car". I used to listen to this driving around 35 years ago in my 1971 240Z. I wonder how seriously they took themselves back then.

[@101Volts]

The B-52s were just trying to have fun playing as a group at first and they didn't think they'd get famous. It seems like once they treated it as a job (1981 or 1982, before Ricky passed) the musical style changed but I may be missing a lot of other details.

[@MrToddling]

Great band, great car !!

[@J6Studios]

I noticed a lot of audience members snapping pictures. Their view seems like it wasn’t obstructed too much. It’d be interesting to see how their photos turned out from this concert.

They should have just put this version on the second album. Wild Planet has some great songs on it but the production is kind of flat and muted, sucking the energy out of this and several others.
