The B-52's Roam - MTV Live 1990

[@newwavepop]

i cant think of any other example where two such absolutely amazing vocalists compliment each others voices with out any ego trips or anything messing it all up. and i dont mean the song but every song where Cindy and Kate harmonize, it is one of the most beautiful sounds ive ever heard.

[@gingerpixie28]

I would say abba are the only other example of two voices sounding perfect

[@patriciawilson9666]

The Turtles.Howard Kaylan & Mark Volman.Besides all their own hits they sang backround for T.Rex, Frank Zappa,Alice Cooper,Springsteen,Blondie,Psychedelic Furs,John Lennon,The Ramones and Duran Duran to name but a few.

[@sandrahoefner]

Agnetha & Frida from Abba

The harmonies are incredible! Two brilliant vocalists! Great musicians in the B52s

There are moments that occur in songwriting where gold is struck and a song is created that will continue to uplift and inspire for generations. This song is one of them.

Most bands are lucky to get one amazing singer... The B-52's had three.

[@jeffreykaufmann2867]

Schneider's voice is pretty bad .

[@absentia1001]

@@jeffreykaufmann2867 It isn't particularly great, but it made them who they are. It's a very defining aspect in their sound.

[@moderndog1975]

How true !!!!! I totally agree ❤️✌🏻

[@carbrock.2854]

This is the only B-52s song I like (really, I think it's great), and that's because the verses are actually sung and Schneider is reserved to what he does best (tamborining)!

[@julesmateo9954]

@@carbrock.2854 I'm sure Fred is a great guy, and he definitely lends a certain uniqueness to the band, but his vocals are like nails on a chalkboard to me. 😬 The girls and the rest of the band are the real talent, and this song is a prime example.

[@Tmidiman]

One of the best bands ever. Great vocal, lyrics, songwriting, playing the complete package.

[@damianmcdonagh7908]

They sang this live in Central Park, New York on Earth Day in 1990. The city rocked that afternoon.

Good lord, that explosive sound from the beginning. It's like shooting a gun before a race. It sets the pace for the rest of the song. B-52 is ageless

[@Timbretwo]

Yes Cindy, She hits the high notes good.

[@pauljordan4452]

She hits them WELL.

11 years later and this is still boss. Kudos to them all for not playing this at the speed of cocaine like so many other bands do while playing live (thus killing all feel and groove).

I've seen them 15 times and have tickets in August. I have cancer and have to see them once more.

This was the first album and first time touring since Cindy's brother(original B 52's guitar player) had died from AIDS. She didn't last long. After making the album and a little touring, she left the band for a few years. You can just see the hurt in her face.

This is the kind of song that could have been written for the Go Go's sung beautifully by Belinda Carlisle

[@Neal_YouTube]

But who would have harmonized with her?

[@Theearthtraveler]

Very good!

[@bellsystem_1877]

a lot of these "80s songs" with great production like didnt always come off live as good as the record, but not this, this is a great live version, great live sound on this

[@Mario_N64]

Right. Sounds a bit different, but it's still good. Has an R.E.M. vibe to it.

[@Mario_N64]

About December of '89 or so, as a follow-up to their monster-hit "Loveshack, in the autumn of 1989. It was a top ten single too.

When they were still five members, the bass here is Sara Lee, they use a different bassist, and that drummer has been there so long.

[@lworley6131]

Really seems now like a song that was recorded earlier in the 80s not at the tail end like it was. Either way it is classic ear candy.

Gloriously messy performance that I keep coming back to more than the official version. Out of the not main 52s: If I know Sara Lee is the bass in LBD that I can't take my eyes off and think that Sterling Campbell is the drummer cos I seen him with Bowie - then who is the other lead guy next to Keith?

[@bobmalack481]

Cindy is the knock out girl for me in all categories, she has the more appealing, but harder high harmozing parts in most songs, in looks with her long side draped pony tail, OR awesome looking in any hat, like the 'official' Channel Z video, who else could look that cute in any ordinary straw hat than Cindy, amazing. Pink hat in Love Shack video is also very becoming. Kate can keep her goofy wigs. Too bad they put on wieght after this early 90's period.Same for Siouxsie Sioux.
