Summary:
This is a terrific document of the group shortly after the 2nd album release. They play the 2nd album in it's entirety as well as most of the first album. It's b&w, but well lit, good audio and every second of it is here. The original lineup (they look so young!) bursting with creativity on their first tour as headliners.

But don't get your diaper in a twist, lol they are still performing, though unfortunately just not the same B-52s anymore

However, Private Idaho differs from the album version, which is a 5 string in EBDxBB. Edit, at the 18 thumbs up mark: clarified something I was incorrect on 6 years ago.

Very dissimilar dancing styles. Nothing could be more different.

    She is actually asking the shark to give her back her man (“I’ll give you fish”) She loved him so much that she’s gone a bit crazy even throwing the Divinity candy to the seagulls in order to help her spot her man in the sea. She also wants to go to the bottom of the sea with him; the lyrics say to watch the motorboat she’s in and that “her man is at the bottom of the...” sea being taken away by the shark. Cindy Wilson explains that in her book.

However, within her emerges an astonishing display of demonic prowess, showcasing a truly profound and multifaceted performance.

    @@donbailey6600 Well, maybe I don't use the word "sequencing" properly. With it I mean getting a rhythmic sequence of notes by pressing a key a single time. It was pioneered by Kraftwerk and Moroder, widely used in disco music at the end of the 70s and in electro and synth pop in the very early 80s. When I was a kid my parents bought me a keyboard, in 1979 or 1980.. I could play the lower keys sequenced to a set of 10 rhythms at different speeds, though of course the rhythms were presets. I used to turn down the drums volume and play just the sequenced notes, it was really cool, I just felt like a junior Moroder! 😄 it sounded kinda like this and I thought Cindy was using something like this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppphqbmCicbHpto.html

    Simply amazing! The little squeals from Cindy at the beginning and of course the scream at the end. The energy from her dancing made what it was...fantastic! In my opinion probably the best live/video of their whole catagolue. The whole band was in total sync. Checked out the other many songs but couldn't find anything that came close to this one. It was1980 all in their early 20's and full of energy. After a couple of years of year-round touring probably couldn't match that magical night. year after year their performances were awesome but this was special. Thank you B-52s! RIP Ricky

    +Lansing Michigan I saw them this same year, the club they played in had a strict 'no standing' policy (it was all tables and chairs around the stage) and they had college football players walking around to enforce it. For this show that lasted for about 5 seconds, by the middle of the first song the tables and chairs were piled up off to either side of the stage and everyone was rockin and frugin the rest of the night. The kicker was the venue had a spotlight booth at the rear top of the venue, when I looked up the two male spotlight operators and a girl were dancing around the booth in their underwear. Now that's a B-52's concert!

    2:45 There's a shot of Ricky and all the guitars in the back. There are at least four Mosrites on the stage for this concert: 1: The 1971 - 1974 V-I (Sunburst) that he played for this song. 2: a 1965-1969 Joe Maphis Double neck (Sunburst) 3: 1966 Mark V (Blue) 4: 1966 - 1968 Mark V (Sunburst) Also, there's an Epiphone ET-290 in Red (what Kate played for 52 Girls, and Ricky played in 6060-842,) and then there's an approx. 1963 Danelectro Pro which Ricky played for Private Idaho. Ricky used a lot of tunings which is why he had so many guitars just for one concert.

    @@outtathyme5679 I beg to differ, though I *am* lazy. Copying his sound is perfectly doable. Much of his sound is in the fact that he usually played Mosrite models. Get one of those, put the right string size and type on, tune up to the right tuning in the right HZ range and use a thick guitar pick, and you're very far in to sounding the same. I just don't know what guitar amp or amps were used. He did play an Epiphone ET-290 from the 70s, but there's not much else from early on that is different. There's a Silvertone 1448 played in Private Idaho, but that's about it for the first 2 albums - my best guess is that it's 3 or 4 Mosrites, the Epiphone, and the Silvertone. However, if you'd ask if I want to play *all* B-52s songs from early on... Nah, I really don't. Some of the songs are just not what I'm after anymore.
