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.

Ricky Wilson, a guitar legend that no one ever heard about! ❤

[@EarlyB-52sGuitars]

The guitar for this example is pretty simple, but who said simplicity's "bad?" His tuning for this one is DADxBB (no string in the G slot,) and he only played the lower 3 strings for this song. He used the same tuning for other songs, too, and it's his most common tuning.

[@101Volts]

Ricky played a 5-string here. Only 4 songs in this concert are in 4 string tunings: Dance This Mess Around, Rock Lobster, and Runnin' Around are in CFxxFF, where Private Idaho is in xEBxBB. However, Private Idaho differs from the album version, which is a 5 string in EBDxBB. Edit, at the 18 thumbs up mark: clarified something I was incorrect on 6 years ago.

No similarity to JD whatsoever. Drums: completely different style. Guitar: completely different style. No bass here (Kate plays a keyboard bass, which id totally different), while JD is Peter Hook's bass guitar up front. Vocals obviously galaxies apart. Vibrophone missing in JD. Very dissimilar dancing styles. Nothing could be more different.

Simply amazing! The little squeals from Cindy at the beginning and of course the scream at the end. The energy from her dancing made what it was...fantastic! In my opinion probably the best live/video of their whole catagolue. The whole band was in total sync. Checked out the other many songs but couldn't find anything that came close to this one. It was1980 all in their early 20's and full of energy. After a couple of years of year-round touring probably couldn't match that magical night. year after year their performances were awesome but this was special. Thank you B-52s! RIP Ricky

[@MickAneworderfan]

@@donbailey6600 Well, maybe I don't use the word "sequencing" properly. With it I mean getting a rhythmic sequence of notes by pressing a key a single time. It was pioneered by Kraftwerk and Moroder, widely used in disco music at the end of the 70s and in electro and synth pop in the very early 80s. When I was a kid my parents bought me a keyboard, in 1979 or 1980.. I could play the lower keys sequenced to a set of 10 rhythms at different speeds, though of course the rhythms were presets. I used to turn down the drums volume and play just the sequenced notes, it was really cool, I just felt like a junior Moroder! 😄 it sounded kinda like this and I thought Cindy was using something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpeQeIp_jsiUrNk

She also wants to go to the bottom of the sea with him; the lyrics say to watch the motorboat she’s in and that “her man is at the bottom of the...” sea being taken away by the shark.

+Lansing Michigan I saw them this same year, the club they played in had a strict 'no standing' policy (it was all tables and chairs around the stage) and they had college football players walking around to enforce it. For this show that lasted for about 5 seconds, by the middle of the first song the tables and chairs were piled up off to either side of the stage and everyone was rockin and frugin the rest of the night. The kicker was the venue had a spotlight booth at the rear top of the venue, when I looked up the two male spotlight operators and a girl were dancing around the booth in their underwear.
