Great tune! They were really underrated. Hard to believe this was 42 years ago.

I saw them about 3 months after this, and they were not well received. Not sure that billIng them between Joan Jett and The Who was a good idea.

Watch the dc concert tap from 1980. Black and white. Unbelievable passion in that one.

I like a few songs from them, but I believe they are an overrated band in the grand scheme of things. Plus being way too far left political doesn’t endear me to them any extra.

B-52s use plenty of energy.

They were the first band to feature a trans in a music video, which was, “Love Shack.” Amazing how they got the ball the rolling on trying to get the public to accept them and look what have now.
