An amazing show by one of the most entertaining bands of all time! Packed house and enthusiastic crowd at the Ventura Theater. The taping Gods were smiling on me once again. I found a great spot about 30' from the stage with a cool bunch of people who were well mannered, and loved this band! Crank it UP!! Omit track 17 and it will fit on single CD-R, otherwise split where you please.

The B-52's - 1982-11-27 - Montego Bay, JA (SBD/FLAC)


(Soundboard FLAC)

The Jamaica World Music Festival
Bob Marley Memorial Performing Center
Freeport Zone

Let's see, in 1982, my musical taste skewed towards the music we played in our band, like VH, Judas Priest, Journey, ZZ Top, Stones, etc...NOT new wave at all, it was the enemy. Later towards the mid 80's, the new wave started to make more sense, and the campy gyrations of a band like The B-52's was more intriguing, as rock got taken over by puffy hairdo's and MTV.

So now it's even more intriguing, as I would never have cared back then what they sounded like live, and surprisingly it carries over the weight of the recordings into an entertaining performance. If possible, Planet Claire, Rock Lobster and Private Idaho have never been more fun to hear, than here.

A concert re-broadcast on FM radio in the Netherlands, june 13th 2008 by "KRO's Legendarisch Live".
Although it is clear that the concert was not wholly broadcast, nothing was said about the track-order, so I don't know if this is the original one. But it is an excellent soundquality and a very nice concert.

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. The original lineup bursting with creativity on their first tour as headliners.

A great 1978 vintage B-52's performance recorded on a Sony B&W 1/2" reel-to-reel deck. I've only seen this vid on crapTube before and I guess it's pretty rare stuff. I know some hoarders have been selling this on ebay for the past 5 years or so. That's no good. Do not expect DVD quality. Start menu and correct chapter marks at each song.
