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!
+Steven Greaves Those were the days. I joined the Air Force in the early 90's. Put a big KROQ sticker on my suit case the day i left for boot camp. You would be surprised how many people in my many travels recognized KROQ. And knew about OB.
And Steve Bartek is one of the best guitarists ever!!
It’s bullshit!!!!! :(
Jan Hrubín Jan, I completely agree.
Most underrated band ever.
Yes. I'm just getting the full dose now. Obsessed with the fusion they absolutely mastered for popnpunk.
What about Blue Oyster Cult?
Amen
Absolutely!!!
XTC would give them a good running...

this man's a hero
Thank you!!
ha ha gosh
you’re doing god’s work my dude
i love you
Still boggles my mind that Boingo would consistently do 2-3 hour sets, every show, until they disbanded. Most bands are done after about an hour or so. It's not lost on me how lucky i was to have seen them.
Anaguma is excellent german music,!!
best show i ever saw
Saw them half a dozen times and they always put in a great show. As you said - way longer than most bands. They appreciated their fans
& i bet you danced your ass off the entire time too! Lucky! ugh i’m so envious!💚💚
Bob Marley the black crowes followed in the dead’s footsteps with the changing sets & letting fans tape shows. They too would play over 2hrs
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

Thanks
thank you so much
Thank you!!
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.
how envious!
Me too. Remember the year the power went out and Danny yodeled and told jokes? Priceless.
awww
2:02:07 - 2:02:40 Danny breaks his spine gets pushed around by some ghosts
57:50 “this is a new one that you have never heard before, it’s called the winning side.” YES! *video tape glitches and skips to the middle of a different song* NOOOO!
nooo
Danny Elfman is always the hottest man alive!
Oh yeaaah
I thought I was the only one. OMG when I saw the video for "Stay".... ? I don't think he had any idea he was that incredibly sexy
Still is!!
@@anaabendroth3460 For me it was when he looks straight into the camera in "Private Life", like wow
@@anaabendroth3460 for real
Tight band, punchy horn section, great lyrics, Elfman's voice - wicked combination! Cool band! Completely underrated - but who cares - we're still listening and appreciating after all these years!!! Screw the critics and the "wider audience"...
You get it! Cheers!
Danny is the man. This band is legendary, they sound incredible.
Rebel C and this isn't even as really great as they sounded in person. every kid listening to the crap pop music of today should be forced to listen to every album and watch any existing concert footage one after the other.
Mr. Bungle was similar.
@@lordfestivus1968 bro, shart the fart up.
His voice and what he could do with it was amazing.
2:02:07 - 2:03:02 Idk why but this little part makes me laugh out loud every time. Danny's dancing like a lunatic, goes out of frame for a second, then when it cuts back to him he's just lifeless on the ground. 🤣 Also, such a good solo there from Bartek as usual. I fucking love this band.
i get exhausted just watching him, I could believe the playing dead was just so he could take a quick break XD and bartek shredding while being like "omfg he fuckin dead"
HAHAHAHAHA
😹😹😹 thank you for this!
😅😂😂
I just found OB this month, and I fell in love. I’d do anything to be able to go back in time and see them live. I’m gen z, so I had no shot at seeing these kinds of bands live. They just don’t make a whole lot of creative, thoroughly good music like this anymore. At least we have these videos accessible, grateful for that!
same here
check out big mess. Danny elfman's latest solo album. It is a masterpiece. Still overlooked.
same!!
The former members still play, and Danny plays solo shows that include some Boingo tunes and other goodies from his long career. Maybe you could see this music live after all! I'm a millennial and I just saw Danny last weekend!
This is so awesome!!! Danny was an unbelievable frontman. Oingo Boingo is criminally underrated.
Don't worry, he will be listening to mumble rap soon enough lmao!
@@makellasafe 🤣🤣🤣
This band truly does not recieve the recognition it deserves. You can't get jams like this these days.
And I love when Elfman tilts his head back when he filling that diaphragm up to get that next note!! Master writer/ musician
I am so proud that my 9-year-old son's favorite band is Oingo Boingo, followed by Depeche Mode and the Sisters of Mercy.
Because you raised him right.
You're teaching him well!
Plus DM, way cool!
Right on little buddy
My son knows that October is Boingo month!
I've only been to like 15 concerts in my life but I saw them in LA around this very time. They sounded JUST LIKE THE RECORD. They were clearly pros.
i wasnt alive during this, but with all of the live boingo that i've listened to i would say that their music is even better live. danny's voice is just so full and boomy during live performances.
Like any great band, they sound BETTER than the record.
Wow, shirtless Danny Elfman is definitely a sight to behold.
yeah
Why doesn’t he dye his skin orange like other people who can’t get a tan?
MHM
Oingo Boingo has always been my MOST FAVORITE band. I saw them every time they performed in Atlanta - best shows EVER!!! Amazing. I still have a major crush on Danny Elfman........
Agreed I still crush on him
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.
dude that is a great story and a fanstastic description of events, yes that is odd i could see maybe 2 to 5 cool bikers but a few hundred? wtf? i was a hardcore/metal head back then , then i went to see the Dickies and they set me straight they ridiculed me in my jean jacket with MANOWAR patch , after every song, they played so fast with such humor, , i still see them every time they come to phx, never got to see oingo , got into them late , do you hear the simpsons theme in nasyt habit? im gonn research bikers/ oingo boingo , now that im curious ,, and the fixx sound excellent live,
best story ever. I think I was at this one.
williamgatesenson Ah the Us festival...
That is an AWESOME story man!! Thanks for sharing. :) I can totally picture it!
San Diego in 1984 at SDSU, Oingo - crowd went nuts, Madness - crowd went nuts, Police - not so much
to all of you who were not fortunate enough to see BOINGO live, this is not actually a good indicator of a live show. BOINGO was one of the few rock concerts ive seen. Ive seen more philharmonic then anything. and a lot of punk in small venues. steve ignorant of crass was the last show actually w/goldblade and some other lesser known punk bands. anyway I had the privilege to see boingo at the Halloween show at Irvine when they debuted DARK AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. 11TH row center.70% hot young women. by the middle of the 2nd song the only people still in their seats were passed out drunk. nearly three hour show with 2 encores. outstanding good time. these guys were with out a doubt one of the best concert bands ever. just as good as the album versions of songs if not outright better. these were MUSICIANS. make no mistake.
I couldnt agree more! Ive only seen a few bands that got the entire audience off their asses and Boingo was definitely one of them! My favorite live rock band!!! Miss them so much!!!
Remember the giant skeletons bouncing on the sides?!
Well said brother! I saw them every chance I got and still never got enough. Danny is a genius and the band was pure fire!!!
of course you had to point out "hOt YoUnG wOmEn".
i saw them at the concord pavilion-most athletic show i’ve ever seen
I keep on coming back to this video because it is just excellent! I've noticed these days there seems to be a few musicians who are trying to play the "insane musician" character when they preform but to this day i don't think anyone has the raw intense insanity that Danny has during his OB days.
Snap, Boingo played a long ass show. I would kill to go back in time and catch this live.
2:02:54 is the funniest transition in the world
I envy all of you who've seen Boingo live. This band is the last on my bucket-list. Hopefully, Danny et al. ill tour one more time. I would even fly to Kabul Afghanistan if they were playing a Halloween show there.
Sean O'Neill, I was at this one. Growing up in SoCal, it was easy to catch them live. This is the single band I have seen the most times live, 12 or 13 times. I’m 50 now, but they still get my blood flowing. Love these guys.
I've never seen so many people sing along at a concerts than at a Boingo Halloween show. IIRC I hit at least 2 or 3 of those shows.
I saw two of the Halloween shows at Perkins Palace. The only other band I’ve seen live that got people moving like OB did were the B52s.
There is always the cover band “Dead Mans Party” they are. Pretty great.
hahahaha!! You and me both brother, you and me both!
This is literally the night before I saw them and it didn't rain. It was threatening to rain up until they started playing and then the clouds disappeared. It was a great night. 3+ hour concert.
They were just the perfect live band, they had it all.
TRUTH!!! Best live band EVER! Saw 'em 33X!!
@@bobyost42 we don't care
@@ATalkingBadger excellent contribution!! If more people had your attitude it could be an even shittier world to live in. Happy New Year troll.
look how hard danny was working! They are having so much fun, especially in grey matter! come back oingo boingo
OMG, just found this on TH-cam for whatever reason, takes me back to greatest concert I ever saw..I’ve seen the Who in 83, the Stones in 82, AC/DC 8 times in 5 states, the Moody Blues 3 times (twice with orchestra), and misc other great rock bands, BUT, Oingo Boingo at Park City or Wolf MTN whatever it’s called now, outside, was hands down the GREATEST concert I’ve ever seen, the warm up band didn’t show and they played for over 3-1/2 hrs, I’ll never forget that concert ever..what a band!!!
Damn! Love it when he hits the high notes. And the low notes. And all the other notes, too! Okay, you got me...I love it all. :)
I was at this show and many others!
RIP Irvine Meadows!
He begins the show wearing a shirt with elbow-length sleeves; between the second and third songs he is in a tank top, and by the end of the show he is barebreasted. Lol what is this a concert or a striptease?
emotional_mess Well he does need his vitamin D... hope he doesn’t get moonburn!
He uses scalar light..return to lil Wayne ye debased..🤖
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 lmao
Love it
It only gets better and better
1:42:49 - where's all this heat coming from on a cold night like this?! It must be coming from all you craaazy motherf***ers!! Ow my lungs :'] Daniel!!
Absolutely love Boingo!! I saw them four times through the last 10 years including their second to last show in Vegas. But listening to this makes me wish I would have sought out their live shows when I got into them in '85. The energy here is so great with still that reckless abandonment! They were so much more than an 80's band and so many more wonderful and essential parts to the whole and stunning greatness of Danny Elfman. We'll never see their likes again!
SteveEPfunk Check Out Cowboy Mouth Live... they too put on a great show
This brings back a lot of great memories. I went to the Halloween show every year, and it was so much fun. I loved them live.
Absolutely love this band. Only really started listening to them from a random link a few years ago. Sad I know. They deserved far more recognition than what they got, great talent, great energy...and I quite honestly do not know what genre to set OB in.
Class of their own! Amazing!
More bands like OB today please!!!
Sullivan R.,
Nope. They’re in a genre of their own.
Thrash metal has growly singers you can’t understand, and non melodic music.
C Brady,
I heard a band tonight that reminds me of a young OB. They’re called Fencer. They don’t have the horn section, or a lot of songs published, yet, but the singer’s energy reminds me of OB back in the 80s. Badflower is another interesting newer band that has a unique sound.
@@sullivanr.9038 new wave
i think ska is one of their genres
@@beachgirl4583 oh wow a year ago!
Gave Fencer a listen, yeah I know what you mean, definitely some Danny Elfman vibes with the singer! Shall listen some more, cheers!!!
Havn’t really given Badflower a listen yet, will do!
1:18:52 - That's an invitation I would never decline lol 😍😍
oh yes! he can be my daddy 😍😍😘
ladies ladies calm down he is 68
This concert performance is Wild And Grand!😃
My first Oingo Boingo show was a Dec 1982 Toys For Tots benefit concert. Concert was in the giant Circus Vargas tent in the parking lot of Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach, CA. FEAR opened and blew my mind.
29:01 to 34:14 I love this performance of their song My Life. And I see Danny's dance moves similar to the ones he did in Forbidden Zone. This song just gets me vibing
I cant believe how good Oingo Boingo was/is! I've been texting music loving friends and bros the same message, most in disbelief and one reminding me "I told you so ...! back in college ... my roommate was from San Diego and saw them when they were The Mystics ..."
😆😆
DId I mention Oingo Boingo. Awesome. Danny Elfman. No wonder he retired from live performing. I'm getting tired wondering how he could keep up the pace and energy in 1987. Exhausting.
My room mates at Westmont College in Santa Barbara dragged me to a OB show in '81, and I've been a Danny fan ever since. Just listened to "Only a lad" a couple days ago and realized what a prophet Danny was. Johnny was bad even as a child everybody could tell...
anyone else attend a halloween show in the early 80's at universal amphitheater where bartek and avila popped out of boxes wearing jack-in-the-box attire about halfway through the first song? and for an encore, they played reptiles and samurai while godzilla and a samurai fought on stage.
eclecticalchemy man, that would have been so awesome. I hate that I was born just slightly too late to have seen them. I remember crying because of their farewell tour haha. I’m still crying inside.
For my son , Boingo will be like Zeppelin was for me. But his daddy was there man! Halloween '85 and '86. Couple more that I don't remember so well. Pure Magic! People of all shapes and sizes co-mingling with a band that is one and only, ahh but the legend keeps growing. More Concert Vids! Whoevers got em!
Oingo Boingo got hella bops dude hell yea
I was there! Along with the 85, 86, 88 & 90 shows in San Diego. My favorite band of all time to see live.
87 mexfest in tijuana ...if you are fron san diego you have to remember
I wish we had video of Oingo in the studio when they created these songs. I would have loved to see the masters at work!
I was probably at this show... I went to every SoCal Boingo show from 1986 to 1990, and a few up in Northern Cali as well... still to this day have never seen anyone as good live...
I was a fortunate souls to be at this show, Halloween '87!These were the SoCal shows to see in the era...The costumes in the audience were fantastic!
Soul! LOL
I wish they'd remaster the whole catalog with "extras" / demos etc.. I still find myself going back to these albums and discovering more.
The tracks on Anthology are remastered. Honestly, the original cd's sound pretty good, but the original records sound fantastic. I have Only a Lad through Dead Man's Party and they sound so good, especially the horn and drum section. They sound live.
Finding the original demo tapes and cut album songs would be incredible. I hope it can happen one day!
seriously wish i could've seen these guys in concert. probably the most underrated new wave ban of the 80s, yet succeeds to this day with a ravenous cult fanbase. love it
saw them three times and
took a 'christian' girl once:
she never looked back.
we watched the same show
she saw..together today.
Oingo Boingo Dance Party is as close to the original band. 5 former members sans Danny of course. They play SoCal and even Utah recently.
I sure hope you got to the hollywood bowl 2 weeks ago!!
1:41:31 The crowd chanting Oingo Boingo!
Danny's fancy footwork during "Dead Man's Party" gives me the giggles so bad :)
The best band ever!!!
Thanks KROQ for bringing this video to my attention again. Damn I miss me some Oingo Boingo. Love Danny Elfman.
Thanks for posting this. This is awesome!! And remember, tomorrow 4/20 is Oingo Boingo Day in Los Angeles!!
every oingo concert feels like some sort of cartoonish evil ritual where danny is trying to summon satan or something i love it
Holy cats, the guitar solo during New Generation is Prince-like in its brilliance.
Ahem... Steve was playing way before Prince was even born...!
I was one month old when this show happened. Another now defunct band to add to the list of artists I wish I had the chance to see!
I was lucky enough to see them live several times in the late 80s and early 90s, including the Farewell tour. Still one of the top three bands live i've ever seen.
Now if Danny would only release all that rare material properly...
Awesome- count yourself lucky. Looks like I will need a time machine.
me too
me too, meaning I would need a time machine too
OB, My first love and first concert in ‘87 at the Greek Theatre. This video brought back great memories.
I was a junior in college and a group of us went to this show. The next night we saw The Busboys live.
Can't thank you enough for posting. I think I made it to about 10 Halloween/Dia de los Muertos shows in Southern Cal, including their final show at Universal Amphitheater. Got to hang backstage and meet Danny. Couldn't have lived a better send-off. Great to see all the appreciation for the most under-rated band of all time.
My favorite band. Me and my wife’s first date was this concert our first dance at our wedding was not my slave 9/17/88
This is her husband
Incredible band to go see live. Saw them 3 times. High energy shows. Worth every penny
I was there and this is beautiful!
I saw Oingo Boingo when they headlined at MexFest in Tijuana. 17years old at the time. Great show. 91X out of San Diego promoted and played them a ton.
Them were the days xxx
Lauren Shumovich Pacific Amphitheatre Orange county fairgrounds. Was there too. Still have ticket stub from 88 Halloween. First time I saw them Magic Mountain 85.Favorite all time band! Awesome in concert. I made my kids listen, especially when they were teenagers.
Damn I miss them.
This is one of my favorite live concert videos on TH-cam. I was too young to know OB in their heyday, I was only a month old when this show happened!
I was at this show and many others at Irvine Meadows during the 80s. It was how growing up in So Cal should be for everyone! I was 17 and freaking bulletproof! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing. I was at that show and I miss Danny and the boys very much. I needed that!
I love Vatos t-shirt "Gusano Rojo". Funny guy and great drummer
I saw them at Magic Mountain in So Cal in 85 or 86 . Basically the same set list as this show. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. a fun fact for yu'all,, The drummer "Vato" was in the movie "From Dusk Till Dawn" as the drummer in that bar band where everyone turned into vampires. Nor sure if it is his other band "food For Feet" but he and the other 2 guys in that band turn to vamps and explode. he he he
50:10 Stay, my favourite song.
I was at this concert! Great memories at their Halloween concerts for a bunch of years. Love Nightmare Before Christmas too. Amazing talent.
I was there and it was incredibly amazing
Thank you for sharing!! Oingo Boing is amazing!!! 🇧🇷👍🏻
Tightest band ever so badass solid tight!
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!!!!
The horns in "Elevator Man" are not messing around.
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.
many thanks for sharing these vids, bud. gutted i never got to see them live, though i made up for it a bit seeing Danny sing on the Tim Burton film music tour. phenomenal voice.
This is incredible......the best live show available prior to the farewell show in '95. The setlist is beyond a fans dreams! NB
I wish I'd seen them. Such great energy!
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.
Maravilhoso, tocam muito, um som leve Alegre ainda bem q os conheço desde do princípio
Miss Oingo Boingo’s yearly Halloween parties at Irvine Meadows!
Jed the Fish from KROQ was the DJ who really broke them huge in LA with the initial 10" ep.
Cheers, was there! I loved when they did several days in a row plus Halloween at Irvine Meadows!
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.
Wow, fond memories, my bestie and I were at this show!!
I was there. Irvine Meadows. 👍 Wow miss those days.
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!
14:20 is priceless Danny!
Was there. Nosebleed in the grass. Epic show.
