The combination of Kate's and Cindy's voices is a unique musical instrument in and of itself. After all these years it's a sound that still gives me goosebumps.
I got to meet her last year after their show and she is wonderful, the band was great, and she had something kind to say to everyone during the meet n greet, a very genuine and graceful woman. A memory I will treasure for sure.
Same here. Before her Chicago show. She was gracious and very sweet and not at all rushed. I wish u could post our pic here because you wouldn’t believe how amazing she looks.
This woman (and Cindy, too) can seriously move some air!!!! The harmonies those two create are just otherworldly!!!! Ethereal, super-nova powerful, the whole range!!! **They not no limburger!!!!***
When I was in college in the 1970’s, I wrote a paper on an “up and coming indy band” for my Music Appreciation class. The band was The B-52’s, and I scored an “A” on the paper! The professor commented in his remarks that the band seemed “rather cheesy”. Ahh, what did he know :(
This song got me into the b52s ! I am a metal head ! Back in those days I could never tell my friends that I liked that song! Now I am an 60 year old man !! This is a great song!! 😊😊
I have been hearing this song often lately in my car on the radio and enjoy its amazing vitality and creativity so much ! I thought maybe it had been re-released or something! Such a great hit record.
Many years ago, I won a VH1 Backyard Barbecue where the B52s played in Staten Island for me and my friends. Kate was so sweet to my wife and I and so was Keith and Cindy. Fred was a little standoffish, but still nice. It was a wonderful memory I will never forget.
I remember that contest. It's cool that you had a very positive experience. Often wondered how the winners were treated and if they got to actually meet the performers. I bet it was a wild few days!
@@msh6865 yes it was a lot of fun. Not only did we get to meet them they had us on their bus and they were very down to earth. They treated us great. Fred called us on stage and at that point we were so drunk we made fools of ourselves but a great time. Someone put the entire show on TH-cam. Cindy had her husband and kids there and they were really nice. At the end of the show she gave me a 💋
I remember the backyard bbq! I remember I taped it on my VCR so I could watch it whenever I wanted! And then I recently (during the COVID lockdowns) found it here on TH-cam and watched it again! I had always wondered, too, how much you got to interact with them.

@Weston Jaxx Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yeah for 71 she still looks amazing. Some people are bashing her for showing some age, but she looks darn good. Hey, give her credit for petes sakes everyone ages!
The B-52s and Devo played a concert at my high school in the early 80s. I forgot who opened for whom. Fantastic show! I remember being amazed that they were actually playing at my school.
@AlexKx I went to Brockton High School 1982-1985. I don't know how it was arranged. One factor was probably that it was a very large school. My graduating class was around a thousand students.
What a beautiful place & lovely story about Love Shack. Kate Pierson's vocals & musicianship is pure magic. Thank you for sharing this video. Musical cheers.
Love Shack was such an infectious song - impossible not to groove to. Kate's distinctive voice really made it stand apart from anything else. And her funky dance moves in the video were adorable to watch. She looks happy in this clip - great to see she's enjoying life.
One of the most beautiful humans on the planet, inside and out! I got to meet her and party with her in Vegas in 2001! She was so lovely, kind, generous, genuine, funny and intelligent! Love you Kate! We'll meet again! X
Got to hang out with the band in 2006 after a concert in Ventura CA. My friend, Terry Bozzio popped in on drums that night too. It was fun. Great down to earth, have fun people. A diamond in the rough with an everlasting place in party music.
Good lord, Kate Pierson ages gracefully! I remember when this song came out. I hated it then, but it definitely grew on me. Plus, I was a kid then, and my taste in music was less than stellar in 1988, though that year is my favorite year of music.
Lmao...I felt the same way when I was 13 in 1989 when radio stations and MTV were playing it non-stop. I remember running away whenever I would hear it. Lol Months later ,the song grew up on me and I finally enjoyed listening to it. My favorite part is the middle of the song when Fred goes " I can't hear you" . I crack up laughing when I hear that part of the song.
Thank you for telling the story. We all love being enchanted. You are a beautiful person. God bless you. Sending love, light and blessings to you and your family ♥️✨😇
I love the B-52's! My friend used to work as a waitress at The Four Seasons hotel in Boston. She served them once and remembered how they drank over $1000 in booze at one meal (which was way more than she even made in a week). When Fred says "where did the money go?!" that might be the answer. ….?
B52's should be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame! Incredible catalog of songs and they were on the forefront of acceptance of alternate lifestyles and compassion for HIV /AIDS victims.
Kate is still beautiful and I will never forget the magic of her voice. It looks like she is doing well and that is great. Every time Kate sings, an angel gets her wings.
Hi! I’m a DJ in the LA area. I have to say... that song (love shack) is still a party fest song! I play it all the time. People sing it all the time! Also, my daughter and I met you guys back stage around 2002 in San Diego... B52’s, Psychedelic Furs and Go Go’s. My daughter was 13, red hair and you gravitated to her! My daughter loved the attention! I got free tickets and passes from my friends of Kathy V. That was a memorable event. You girls were so fun and friendly!
The surviving members of the B52s are still doing great shows. I saw them play London maybe six years ago now. Wonderful! But for all the laid back, cruise through life vibe that Kate and her band mates convey never forget that when they started out these guys would drive from Atlanta to New York every weekend to play CBGBs (about 18 hours each way), probably in a vehicle that was too small and couldn't be fully trusted to make it to the first state line. A lot of determination, hard work and raw talent went into all that laid backness and great music. Thank you guys. Would love to visit lazy Meadows one day.
My wife and I took our little old man dog (RIP Lobo 3-10-2018) and spent a Christmas at Kate’s Lazy Desert a few years ago. We were the only ones around for days. We enjoyed the crazy cold and turbulent winds in the middle of the desert out near Joshua Tree. It was magical. The Airstreams were beautiful. Loved it!
They hold their place in music history... many of the most sweet moments with this band... Topaz still can make me cry, So many good bands - this is just one of them.
What a beautiful creative place out amongst nature - a peaceful & inspiring place for ideas to flourish ❤ PS. _Love Shack_ was an iconic song & music video in my childhood (in Australia). And it was the first song I ever sung at karaoke… in my 20s!
The B-52's are simply a unique, one-of-a-kind group, would be nearly impossible to replicate it on purpose. Each member of the group brought a unique quality. Not many groups that have that sort of dynamic. Fleetwood Mac perhaps is like this as well, where each member stands on their own yet the whole group together is unique. The B-52's style is certainly all it's own, brought on by each member being themselves.
I saw the b52's the first time in 1979.... there were maybe 200 people there at The Keystone in Palo Alto...Kate and Cindy are beautiful harmonizers..I've seen them 8 times total now...best party band ever....
"Love Shack" was the first song that I played in the first ever new car I ever bought. 1990 Nissan Maxima. Great times with great friends. I always thought that the Bass player in the video was hot.
toyoscio yes, Tracy Wormorth played on their next album. Also a great bassist (her line on “Christmas Wrapping” by the waitresses is one of the greatest ever). But the bassist in the video and on this album is Sara Lee. Also of note, the drummer is Charley Drayton, who has done a lot of work with Keith Richards and others. Great bassist and drummer.
Seeing The B-52's live (Berkeley, CA) on their first tour is a very happy memory! Their sound and performance was so spot on clean and tight (although not difficult to do, considering the simplicity of their music haha). I saw them for the second time as the headline act for the 2001 Gay Pride Day concert celebration in San Francisco. They were just as simple, tight and clean as they were in 1979!
I wonder why no one ever mentions that "Love Shack" was originally the "B" side of "Channel Z" and that DJ's were flipping over the single and playing "Love shack" instead and thats how it became a hit?
They made my life better with way more than just Love Shack. I still listen to their albums on a regular basis. I’m obsessed with Bouncing Off the Satellites.
swtv1754 I understand that with Ricky’s passing after the album was made that the band was devastated. They didn’t tour for the album and didn’t do any promotional stuff. I feel like the band was solid on the album and the ballads on the album are incredible. Their whimsical and edgy flavor still shows through. Surely it would have done better under different circumstances. This album set up their next one Cosmic Thing which went on to be the most successful commercially. I truly wish Ricky was still with us as his killer guitar and bass would have lead to even more great music. I’m just thankful they stayed together and have toured for so long. I try to catch their shows whenever possible. I think all of their albums are underrated especially Satellites.
I'm shocked that's she's 71, Even in the early 90's when this song was out she would have been in her 40's which I would never have guessed, Must have always looked about 20 years younger.
Been driving RT28 for 35yrs visiting my brothers weekend homes, never knew until few years ago when the Kate's sign caught my eye. Go visit, it's beautiful up there.
I dunno, I know both of them, but it seems to me that in france it's the opposite... Planet Claire has even be used for some TV shows... Love shack is almost not known in france.
It's hard to forget the lyrics of that song. If ever I wake up in a place with pink air, red trees and headless inhabitants I'll know exactly where I am. :)
@@Dave_Sisson They were almost a completely different band in the early days, though. "Roam" is stylistically much closer to "Love Shack" so that's why I mentioned it.
Not going to lie, I could never stand this song when it was released. I still cannot stand it to this day. Good video once again on the origins of the song, still will watch it if i like the song or not.
Yep...I can't stand the song - so cheesy, but I'm viewing this to learn to appreciate other peoples' taste. Every1 I know loves this song ...so the fact it makes people happy means I have an opportunity to be less judgememtal - & see it through their eyes.
Basically my favorite song of all time. I remember when it was released it was so fun. 20 years ago I worked in an audio equipment rental shop in the back of the Music Store. Every speaker that came and went got tested and it was with "Love Shack" the song was on repeat for years in the test rig. It's a great song for PA system diagnosis. I love the song 😎
As a huge fan, I never understand why people love "Give me back my man" so much. I mean, it is okay, but so many tunes WAY better in my opinion. But everyone is different!

Have always loved the 52's music, always will.
She kinda reminds me of Elvira when she isn't in character and is Cassandra Peterson
Cassandra and Chloe (the pornstar) were epic groupies in the 70s and 80s.
Oh look, it's Kate Pierson. She Rocks and jams with Rockers. Legend.
Planet Claire, less known then Love Shack but no less epic imho.
Mike Hydropneumatic She drove a Plymouth Satellite....
I dunno, I know both of them, but it seems to me that in france it's the opposite... Planet Claire has even be used for some TV shows... Love shack is almost not known in france.
It's hard to forget the lyrics of that song. If ever I wake up in a place with pink air, red trees and headless inhabitants I'll know exactly where I am. :)
It definitely was awesome
Love that song
@@garryiglesias4074 That is why I love France, they are so French there...

Les Rita Mitsouko - Y'a D'la Haine
YOU were/ are by far the best thing about the B52s!
Great song. But "Roam" is better.
My favourite is Rock Lobster.
@@Dave_Sisson They were almost a completely different band in the early days, though. "Roam" is stylistically much closer to "Love Shack" so that's why I mentioned it.
@@Dave_Sisson
Same here Dave!
Dance this mess around is the best.
@@brujx4u799 If you're a hot bombshell who'd like to ravish me, I might agree with that.
But that's the condition.
Kate always makes me very happy, she has that rare gift.
Not going to lie, I could never stand this song when it was released.
I still cannot stand it to this day.
Good video once again on the origins of the song, still will watch it if i like the song or not.
Yep...I can't stand the song - so cheesy, but I'm viewing this to learn to appreciate other peoples' taste.
Every1 I know loves this song ...so the fact it makes people happy means I have an opportunity to be less judgememtal - & see it through their eyes.
This song never fails to make me happy and get me in my feet. I’m glad to see she is living well and happy.
Beautiful woman, just love her.
Me too!
@@DAdam-fo1md You're beautiful as well👊😜
Great Band, great video! Saw them at Heatwave, north of Toronto back in the 80's.
Beautiful line up, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello!
I LOVE KATE!!!
Don't ever stop my queen we are always at your service. We're so appreciative of you and the band.
Get Well Cindy 🙌💯
RuPaul is the DRAG QUEEN (with white shorts and afro) in the video!
The band actually was on Drag Race, judging!
Basically my favorite song of all time. I remember when it was released it was so fun. 20 years ago I worked in an audio equipment rental shop in the back of the Music Store. Every speaker that came and went got tested and it was with "Love Shack" the song was on repeat for years in the test rig. It's a great song for PA system diagnosis. I love the song 😎
I love the Schitt's Creek vibe of this video!
That is so funny. I just binged that series and thought the same thing.
That was lovely. Thank you.
I remember this song, had to be about 1989/1990 ??
Yes, 1989!
@@Top2000agogo Thought it may have been and thanks for checking out my channel!
This video was wayyyyyyy too short....ICONIC!!!!!!!!
They should be in the HOF if they aren’t already.
Nah- Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame is a joke and they're above that.
Watch what happened when Steve Miller received his accolade. It's on TH-cam.
One of the greatest voices ever. So, Kate, you wanted to make us happy with that song? You did...!
great lady, good song from way back when.
very timeless this song from Sound it grooves and sounds so funky, my god she is 71
So many years ago I first heard the B52s - still remain my favourite band ever!
She's 70? How??
Talented artist!
I'm guessing plastic surgeries and a lot of cosmetics. I ain't judging, just saying. Love Kate, she's amazing.
Well their debut album was released 41 years ago!
Rolling Stone named "Love Shack" the best single of 1989 and ranked it 246th on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
pretty cool to see, everyone loves the B-52's.
Great track but 'Give me back my man' was better
Garyf hell yeahhhh ❤️
As a huge fan, I never understand why people love "Give me back my man" so much. I mean, it is okay, but so many tunes WAY better in my opinion. But everyone is different!
I love Private Idaho!
