Go-Go's Wild at the Greek - Original 1984 Airing on Cinemax (including Cool Jerk)
Ойын-сауық
This is how the concert originally aired on Cinemax, including the Cool Jerk performance. I have heard that Cool Jerk was left from disc pressings/VHS due to licensing concerns for that particular song, since it was not written by the Go-Go's. Please note - this has been digitized from a 36 yr old VHS tape, thus the lower quality. Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Gina Schock, Kathy Valentine, and Jane Wiedlin.

Love The Go-Go's. LOVE and dearly miss the 1980's.
I begged my mom and she escorted me to this concert at The Greek, I was 14. Lifelong GOGO"S fan here.....Im like, oh my god, like totally trippin watching this dude....Tubular!
"Head Over Heels" is one of their best songs ever. I'm surprised they would open with that song and not save it towards the middle or end of the concert. Reason being you want to build up to your better songs to keep the anticipation and excitement of the crowd going.
About time they made the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Go-Go's are by far, the best all-girl band ever.
Everytime see these guys these days ,More and More impressed .they really were they're Own Thing ! Looking great here .

True.
I absolutely love that performance of "Cool Jerk"', a song that usually leaves me cold. I'd never seen it before. Thanks for posting the entire concert !
Thanks so much for posting. I used to have the biggest crush on Belinda Carlisle. No idea why this band isn't in the HOF.

The intro with "Special Presentation" is before my time, but so cool to see. I can't believe this was before I was even born. Belinda was so beautiful. Wish we all stayed young forever :(
Such pure rock/pop.

Great to see this footage of the wonderful Go-Gos ! .. Despite the girls battling drug addictions, being on almost toxic terms with each other, and on the verge of a break up, they still managed to put on an entertaining and energetic show .. Loved the performance of my favourite song of theirs, "Yes Or No" .. Thanks, Wayne
...Thank you soooooooo very much for posting this classic Go-Go's concert!!... 🤗🤩🎶
Belinda has such charisma and stage presence. And she has rhythm like a Black person.
I love the live version of "Tonight" ....best song on the set.....
Saw them at them at The Muny, in St Louis when they were on this tour. AWESOME!
1984 - my senior year/graduation. Listened to them my whole time in high school up to today (2020). Have one of their CDs in my car now - can't get enough of them. Someone needs to take this concert, remaster it and slap it on a CD!!! Thanks for the upload =)

We Got the Beat, I love how Charlotte played almost straight 16s in the verse kind of like she did in the 1980 Urgh! live version. Almost every other live take I've seen the guitars play more of a staccato style. I like this version same with Urgh because it makes them sound a little closer to their punk early beginnings!
Love the soul you girls put in your music, SWEET.

Just had to come rewatch your REAL version of this concert..It does bother me that somewhere buried in the Cinemax archives is the 4 or 5 other songs from the set. Not to mention, there's actually 2 seperate full shows since this special was edited from clips over the 2 nights. Notice how Belinda goes back and forth from wearing heels to being barefoot haha

"Head over Heels" is WAY better in the Central Park show. I'm not sure what it is with 80's keyboards, but it always used to sound like Charlotte was playing with an arpeggiator instead of doing that awesome piano groove on her own. It does NOT sound like that in the Central Park show; it sounds all natural.

@@FireMinstrel the gals just seem to be more skilled with their instruments in 2001, to my delight.
Even though they are playing at the corporate Greek Theater they at least seem to have some of their old punk composure, not at all like you can see on the clip of their Central Park show with hairstylists, make-up artists, costumers. Where were they in the Masque days, and all of us original fans, which made this band!?!
