I think it's funny going from this 0:57, than skipping all the way to the end to 2:09:00 where Danny has lost most of his clothes and Vatos has some sort of Beekeeper helmet on. God I love this band

This tour was my first concert, at age 11. I loved the skeleton films they had as the backdrop. My mom took me and a gentleman next to us put me on his shoulders because I couldn't see anything! I'm lucky to have been baptized in the concert realm by Danny Elfman.

It sucks that OB never really achieved the status of a great classic band in the eyes of a wider audience. There wasn't a band like them before or since.

+Jan Hrubín Those of us living in Los Angeles in the 80's with access to KROQ 106.7 were blessed with Oingo Boingo. Anywhere outside of LA at that time they could only be heard on college radio. Maybe Weird Science or Dead Man's Party got some mainstream airplay but there were not many stations around the country ready for a band like Boingo. That said Boingo was much more than a Rock or New Wave band and we all knew it then. I mean look at what Danny has done during and since Boingo. Best live band ever for me, bar none! I like their live stuff better than any recordings. They were tight and had almost perfect sound and tons of demented energy. They had stage presence and theatrics. True talented multi-instrumental musicians with an actual freak mad-man musical genius as their headman and a musical orchestrator genius on lead guitar. Absolutely true there will never be a band like this again. BTW, saw Danny and Steve Bartek perform Dead Man's Party together last night (10/31/15) at the Hollywood Bowl, truely amazing and exactly 20 years to the day that I saw them at their farewell show!

One of several times I saw Oingo Boingo was at a festival in Fresno 1983. There were a couple hundred Hells Angels around where I was standing which seemed weird to me. Thompson Twins -no reaction, The Fixx - no reaction, Oingo Boingo - Hell's Angels went nuts and were dancing around spraying each other with beer for the entire set, The Police - back to no reaction.

I was a junior in college and a group of us went to this show. The next night we saw The Busboys live.

It was obvious from day 0 that Danny Elfman would become a legend by stealth. He has accomplished that in spades. Nobody has touched more people with music than this man has. The irony is that many have no idea they hear him every single day. His music is everywhere.

I was there and this is beautiful!

This is incredible......the best live show available prior to the farewell show in '95. The setlist is beyond a fans dreams! NB

I was there it was a spectacular show and to this day have not found a bad that affected me as much as OB did I truely miss them and love reliving the experiance. I have since turned my 7 year old Daughter into a Boingo Lover!!!!

Thanks for posting this. I'm old enough to have seen them five times between about 1987 and 1992.... just after this. They were amazing live.

I'd have to check my ticket stub (which I still have) however, I am 99.9999% sure I was at this show. It was either this one or one of the nights before. I was lucky enough to not only see Boingo for 3 years in a row for their "Halloween" shows but I also saw their next-to-last ever show at the Universal Amphitheatre. Truly memorable and legendary shows. Their "Halloween" shows (in quotes because they normally played about 3 shows, Halloween and two more on the 30th and 29th) were always at an outdoor venue called Irvine Meadows. Unfortunately, this place is long gone. Great place to have seen a lot of shows!

I was at this show in 87 it was held at the old Mammoth Events Center 1510 Clarkson St. Denver Co. I worked for the venue at that time. It was a great party that night.

Thank you for sharing!! Oingo Boing is amazing!!! 🇧🇷👍🏻

I was there and it was incredibly amazing

Damn I miss them.

I love Vatos t-shirt "Gusano Rojo". Funny guy and great drummer

50:10 Stay, my favourite song.

every oingo concert feels like some sort of cartoonish evil ritual where danny is trying to summon satan or something i love it

Them were the days xxx

Jed the Fish from KROQ was the DJ who really broke them huge in LA with the initial 10" ep.

I was at this concert. What a trip, the first concert I ever went to.

Thanks for posting - saw them live more than any other band - between 40 and 50 times.

Wow, fond memories, my bestie and I were at this show!!

I was able to see Boingo 3 times live! The 3 best concerts I ever attended!

Elfman sounds like Freddy Mercury on "Just Another Day"
