A B-52's Thread

[C’est la VoR]

Rock Lobster is fairly well known. All my friends know it, anyway. I think Family Guy re-popularised it a little bit. (There's an early episode where Peter does a faithful cover of the whole song).

I'm seeing these live in Manchester a week on Tuesday

They better do WIG

OMG this was so much fun. Everything you'd want from a B52s concert really - aside from some SERIOUS omissions (Wig being the most gutting, but also Give Me Back My Man and Cosmic Thing).

Kate Pierson is an utter QoL. Cindy started off a bit reserved but then stole the show with a beautiful solo performance of Girl from Ipanema that she dedicated to Ricky. This was followed by Roam which I absolutely LOST MY SHIT to.

Definitely the most prolonged, enthusiastic dancing I've ever done outside of a Swedish gay club during Eurovision season.

Did they do Deadbeat Club or Summer of Love?

 

[C’est la VoR]

No

As far as I can remember the setlist was roughly:

Spoiler: In case anyone's seeing them soon (Sheena)

Planet Claire
Mesopotamia
Lava
Private Idaho
Party Out Of Bounds
Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland
Roam
Legal Tender
6060-842
Whammy Kiss
Is That You Mo-Dean?
Ultraviolet
Love Shack

Encore:

Keep This Party Going
Rock Lobster

I feel in many ways this picture sums up the gig

I'm having quite the B-52s revival of late for some reason.

In addition to the songs discussed in this thread already, this is quite the gem.



HELLO I'm CINDY, I'm a PISCES and I like CHIHUAHUA'S and CHINESE NOODLES
