They were such a fun band. Their music is so random and clever and humorous

If you are sitting at a bar ....song comes on !!....you're moving!!

[@steveh1328]

For today's youth, this is what actual music sounds like.

[@Nick.Ashton]

Maybe for your age. There's a lot of new fresh music that can also hit the spot.

[@TeamRocketHQR]

@@Nick.Ashton That doesn't depend on autotune/and or a computer?

[@Nick.Ashton]

@@TeamRocketHQR It's unfair to bring technology into it, music is music.

I've enjoyed those two lady singers for 45 years. Thank you so much ❤️

[@joycemiraglia280]

Hello...I was waitressing at Perkins Pancake House back in the 80s and 2 of our waiters introduced me to the music of the B52s. They were art students at Akron U. Those were some really fun times. There were about a dozen of us all different ages working together teens to a few in their 50-60-70s and sometimes we'd all go out after work for a meal and some fun. We became like family and every time I hear "Love Shack" by the B52s it brings back memories of those days. I'm 78 now and one of those Art students has passed away and the other a professor of Art at a college. And my bus girl of 18 is turning 60. Can't believe how the time has flown by. Bye from Ohio🌹

[@rosemantonucci-hy7vu]

Same story with me .i just love to hear them.Nothing like it PUNK ROCK.B52S.Great times great memories.Good Times 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jefferyobryan6351]

Gotta love the b52s, totally original!!

[@ltcolumbo9708]

You know the anticipation was building to Cindy Wilson's iconic line. When the audience responded? GOOSEBUMPS!!

[@whitway]

Agreed! EPIC!

[@fredysantos5786]

This song never gets old.

[@53glowe]

True talent never gets old...such a classic 🙂👍

[@orlandophilco]

THE B-52. Were advanced to this time. Whoever would believe it three decades ago sounded like that.

[@bartonted]

I'm from Australia, we love these dudes so much. xxx

[@smee7683]

Absolutely!!!! the sad thing is we dont get to see great bands in pubs anymore.

[@igorsor]

OMG.. they all still looking and singing perfect!! This music is so 'good vibes'. I really enjoy and love B-52s!

Cindy is always going to be lovely, no matter her age! Love the rose choker, black outfit, and lack of shoes.

[@stevenlarvick1748]

Awesome so many years later!

[@thomasvercetti421]

What the hell! They're old now yet they still sound as good as they did in the 80's now that's a talented band! :D

[@Hellwyck]

Yes, it's called talent, well done.

[@JamesFolkers]

They’re not old yet…

[@ChaoticAtmosphere]

Even 34 years later, they still sound like the studio album.

[@jimross2101]

No

[@tinchote]

This version feels like having a slightly slower tempo than the original. It takes a little energy off, in my view. At this same concert, though, their version of Private Idaho was amazing.

[@mr.willywinker4u849]

Not at all check your ears 😂

[@ilovetrump3209]

I remember seeing them back in the Own Private Idaho College Days when they were rocking the college circuits with Rock Lobster as well as other hit that brought an obscure music style from England called New Wave To The USA in a breaking storm of music, style and fashion. Sad to say it was short lived but it was WOW period! This grubbing for money is a sell out to The B52s very legacy!!!

[@vegaslimoguy2376]

@@tinchoteSay what???? This tempo is actually slightly faster than the original studio track! What the hell are you hearing???

[@threedog22]

One of my guilty pleasures for sure.

Kate Pierson, the redhead, also did possibly the best duet in Rock and Roll history, with Iggy Pop, called "Candy," and is also heard on R.E.M's "Happy Shiny People!"

[@finchifinch3316]

Als ich 20 war, sagte ich, dass ich auf einem Conzi von B-52's etwas zur Beruhigung nehmen müßte .... ich glaub es wäre immer noch so. Die Energie der Stimmen treibt mir die Tränen in die Augen.... bang bang bang LOVE LOVE

[@jhoselineparedes6685]

Awwwww me encanta como se escucha sus voces por el paso del tiempo con un ligero cambio, pero nada notable, siguen transmitiendo esa vibra que los caracteriza THE B-52's son lo mejor✨✨✨✨✨✨💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@lancesmith3716]

Los que hablan Espanol 🤮

[@danielpeterman8766]

The drummer looks so chill

[@paulhooson6850]

My very favorite song about big Chryslers ever. - A great hit single with the outlandish performance of Fred played against the more serious, but campy, vocal performance of the girls.

[@rhodarhome6588]

Legend has it, that after listening the B-52, the late John Lennon returned to his studio to continue composing Music.

[@bravesoul5743]

Yeah I remember that too! They inspired him!

[@tylerboi]

True, he said they were his favourite band at the time.
