The B-52s at Hammersmith Apollo, 30th June 2019
Фильм және анимация
Unedited footage of last night's tremendous performance at the Eventim Apollo. I was afraid this was the last time the B-52s would ever play in London but half-way through the show Kate Pierson announced it wasn't their farewell tour after all.

Check out the New York Times article. She lost it
I was at Rock in Rio 1985, it was love at first sight, I loved this woman, Kate all good !!!
Thanks for this, we were there too! Still buzzing.
The retrospective of the band before the concert started was pretty cool. Thanks for including that.

I'm just so glad I went to that concert! I've been a fan since the early 80s - amazing vocals. Thank you B-52s.
I can't get over the thumbnail. Kate looks like Joan Rivers!

I saw them once... in 1979 at B'Ginnings in Schaumburg, IL (even got some pics)....too bad they didn't play Chicago, didn't want to drive that far, but punk was just taking off here. Soooo many bands... glad I got to experience all of it. They just played this years Riot Fest.
The two best female voices of the Rock!
It's great to see them still playing. I don't see anything for this year 2021. I hope they hit the road again. It's been too long since I have seen them play.
I can’t get over how good they still sound.
Beautiful!!
The last gasps of a great band. Keith Strickland retired at the right moment.

I bought a copy of Whammy! on CD today for $3. I remember seeing them on the Cosmic Thing tour, kind of a "comeback" for them at the time. I remember thinking the show may suck since they're so old but what the heck... (Fred was 39 at the time) The crushed it.

Very good video. Several years ago, last time I went to the Apollo, the ushers stopped everyone filming. So I have not been there since. Do they allow it now, or did you do it without them noticing?
They're still very good. I must confess though, that I think they peaked in Athens in 2011. Thought that show + live album was one of their very best.

Martin, I can see me dancing in front of Cindy! Except when a bald chap obscures the view of me... I think Jate was referring to this not being their last ever tour, just the last one of Europe. I have aftershow tix for tomorrow so I'll hope to ask her then.. Fab footage, thanks for posting

I was told once. " yeah. I was into punk . when I was a kid". Well let me tell ya. Im 50 and I still love and listen to The B52's . If that makes me a kid. So be it.
They still sound great! I hope they have one more studio album left in them. Funplex was underrated.

There comes a moment when you know its time to retire the show for good. This was their moment.
So who is on guitar now that Keith no longer tours with them? He’s pretty good
Nice vid!
What the hell did Kate do to that hair...and the facelift....WOW. Cindy still has the sexiest voice of any female singer alive....change my mind
True RNR troopers, more power to them !!!!
I think it's cute and they can still sing!

Love them still but enough is enough your not young now have respect for yourselves and retire.
Look...I'm a fan of theirs from quite a ways back, but this is not good and downright sad in places. Every artist has a shelf-life expiration date and the '52's are no exception. The vocals from Kate and Cindy still sound good, especially for their collective ages, but the energy level is enervating at times. "Love Shack" and "Roam" are the two biggest offenders from this show...with "Roam" sounding really low-energy and lumbering. Fred is just Fred. I am proud of Keith for showing artistic integrity and retiring from the road years ago before things got to this level.
Okay.. I love the B52s but I think it would be far safer for them to have a seat!! At various times the girls looked like they could have fallen over and broke a hip!! We all get older... but please... it's time to stop...

@@Anony_mutt They have to just appreciate that they had one of the best and longest runs of any 80s New Wave Group.. That's something to be proud of becuase almost Nobody lasted as long as they did with as many hits as they had..
Oh dear they got so old ,kate is dancing but not to the beat ,not good all round maybe stick to old footage and remember them at their best
Gonna need the jaws of life to cut Cindy out that outfit after the concert. Fred is just a twisted old fruit.
It's so disheartening to see senior rock artists trying SO HARD to be/act like they did in their youth...smh
