@@cdst8888 In 2001 these gals would've been around 40. I was so bummed I never got to see them in person back in their heyday around 1982. I was available then with dark hair. LOL
Over the years from the 80's and 90's, few drummers had played this song but the sound so stiff and it doesn't sound better, but when Gina sat on the drums it sounds perfect and the way it supposed to be sound Gina is one of my all time favorite drummer....
different drummers had tour with Belinda when she became solo, it never sound right ,not as good as Gina the original drummer who played and hit the right note and timing of music especially her passion of playing the song. may I add not just the drum, ...,guitar, keyboard and bass
@@HorrorFreak68 I disagree. LOL Studio recordings can use as many takes as they want for each singer or musician. They can get a flawless recording. Live recordings often have mistakes. Plus they can also use multiple tracks of the same singer or instrument in the studio to make is sound better.
@@my3dviews i hate flawless recordings. I want to hear the human element. Studio recordings completely lack the emotion that live performances have. I want to listen to a band that's playing to a large audience, not one who's playing to a studio director.
@@HorrorFreak68 It is subjective though. I do like studio recording. Not a fan of hearing audiences cheering over the music or singing along. I'd rather hear the band that I like without the added noise/sound. Like listening to Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon from the multichannel SACD. That's as close to perfection as it gets (in my opinion). Wouldn't be the same with a cheering crowd.
It's too "perfect". I don't understand how or why they would want to play such classic songs in their discography so close to the original studio versions. A song like Head over Heels is screaming for an interesting and extended piano solo, a (slap) bass solo, and a hard driving drum solo but the girls NEVER do this. It's their show, not some kid's bar mitzvah. They could take a whole lot more risk and semi reinvent these beloved songs but instead they play like they want the performance to be played on radio the next day by some approving DJ.
For God's sakes, please put The Go-Go's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have more gold and platinum records, more hits and a bigger fan following than most acts that are already in the Hall. Plus, they were the first real all-girl group. Come on Hall of Fame. Get it right.
Well the Hollies started in 1962 and weren't inducted into the Hall of Fame until 2010. Some things take time, but I agree there are some more recent inductees that should not have been inducted so soon.
This song is excellent. Drove my semi through the Bitterroot Mountain Range in Montana with a load of oversize machinery on listening to this. Kept me awake!
August 2023 and I keep watching this over and over. I'm an old rocker, grew up with the Beatles, Stones, Zep, etc. But these girls were/are amazing! Gina & Kathy..wow! Charlotte hittin those keys, little Jane rockin that SG and of course Belinda...yeah Belinda. DAMN!!!
1980’s music is fantastic. This was totally the generation that I lived through. They still sound great and were pioneers when the bands back then were mostly male influenced.
Only after watching this twenty seven times did I notice 3:36 when Belinda gave the shout too early, the band kept playing like the professionals they are, Jane and Kathy looked over at her, she resumed the song, and nobody in the audience noticed the mistake. Perfect.
The most perfect pop song ever written. Such great musicians. I just love what a cool lead singer Belinda is. She doesn’t jump around and make anything cheesy. She just sings and moves so relaxed.
i always liked the Go-Go's but I was never obsessed with them until recently. I think it was the Showtime documentary and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that gave me a new found appreciation for them. When you see what tremendous musicians, writers and performers they are, you realize that this band was something very special and was overlooked for a long time by many in the music industry.
I think this may have been an under-appreciated tune in it's time. This was one of the great "energy" songs of it's era. As for the Go-Go's? They had "it" and I'm very happy for them they got the Call to the Hall!!
So happy to see that they will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this fall. Well deserved. A true force/inspiration in the male dominated world of rock.
Yes your mom rock in the 80's and still does in 2024 am a big fan my sisters and I grew up listening to their music and we enjoyed it then and now. You have an amazing mom be sure to let her know this and give her all the love and support we the fans will live to express ❤
I've loved the Go Go's since day one. Say what you want. There is something very special and magical here. This song is so good. I literally had tears of joy.
Go-Gos are one of the few groups that sound same or better live than in the studio. You know they paid with hard work and attention to detail for that level of ability. True musicians, a credit to their craft
They sound so good. If that's a total live concert with no recorded music they totally nailed it. They are so talented and entertaining. They look like they're having so much fun. And kudos to the person who did the soundcheck. Everything blended perfectly.
Yes, I like that what they play is what you hear. No overdubbed crap. They could have easily programmed in those claps that are in the recording, but they didn't.
Wow!+! They crushed this!!! I thought it was a little too fast at first, but Gina kept pounding that backbeat (as she always does) and they just took off! Perfect harmonies. Damn. I love these chics!
The lady playing the piano is fabulous! That piano! I feel like the parrot, Iago dancing on Jafar's shoulder in the movie Aladdin. Can you imagine what she would do on a Grand Piano?
Glad to grow up as an "80s kid" back when MTV played music videos and rock bands were based on their talent instead of the help of sound distorting synthesizers. Kids nowadays will never understand!!
Apparently it’s finally happening. I’ve seen both May and October 2021 (maybe the decision was made in May with induction in October?). Either way, it sounds like they’re finally getting recognized. Cheers.
Congratulations girls finally nominated rnroll hall of fame, their live performance is totally above original recording. just feel the electricity and chemistry between these underrated ladies. i,ve been saying for years they are up there with the best of the best. just listen closely to the bass and drums,Kathy and Gina drive the riffs and hooks unbelievably tight cheers from old rocker downunder
This song is bass overload - i love it !!! ❤
Sure is and a gorgeous bass player too!
@@cdst8888 In 2001 these gals would've been around 40. I was so bummed I never got to see them in person back in their heyday around 1982. I was available then with dark hair. LOL
I don't care what anyone says, that is one of the tightest drummers ever.
I once got to see Belinda do a solo show w/Gena drumming. I was front row, 5' from Belinda and 15' from Gena, with a perfect view, and she's GREAT!

Welcome to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ladies...you deserve it!
Usually live performances have a tendency to not hold up to the original but HOLY COW this was perfect. Fantastic band.
I disagree. Live performances are almost always better than the studio version.

Prepare your like 60s dancestep...
hell yes, me too
Timeless, great song.
Belinda... simply beautiful at every age!
I love it when she kicks off her shoes! So sexy! Beautiful barefoot girls make me melt!❤

"First real all girls group." The Runaways would like a word, George.
It’ll no doubt happen eventually but far later than it should have. Look all the killer bands from the 70s that were only recently inducted.
"First real all girls group." Fanny might want to have a conversation, George.

@@rapid13 They love to say what they believe is correct.
thanks for the music , hall of famer
Kathy Valentine's bass playing is great, right in the pocket with every run!
So underrepresented! Plus she still is looking BA!!
She’s an amazing bass player and musician
I have no idea what that means but it sounds good
They always seem to avoid her in any live footage for some reason.
I remember seeing Kathy in Austin when she was first learning to play. She announced she was moving to LA to make it big and she sure did!
Nothing beats 80s music
I always liked the keyboard work in this song. And the bass of course.
They don't show the piano player enough. I wonder if she is "camera shy". I dig the piano.
I agree 100%, the Go-Go's belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Amazing music, singing & energy.
This song is excellent. Drove my semi through the Bitterroot Mountain Range in Montana with a load of oversize machinery on listening to this. Kept me awake!
Gina NEVER misses. She's always ON!
She is incredible !!!
August 2023 and I keep watching this over and over. I'm an old rocker, grew up with the Beatles, Stones, Zep, etc. But these girls were/are amazing! Gina & Kathy..wow! Charlotte hittin those keys, little Jane rockin that SG and of course Belinda...yeah Belinda. DAMN!!!
There all sooo beautiful ❤😊
Whoever did the sound mixing in this concert did a great job. Kudos to the sound engineer !!!
central park no less
Yes.! The sound is outstanding.
Give credit to the band they were tight
@@ca77721 one of the few bands that sound as good if not better than in the studio.
Yes Great Mix. worth a real Listen to.
1980’s music is fantastic. This was totally the generation that I lived through. They still sound great and were pioneers when the bands back then were mostly male influenced.
Whos watching on the heels of 2025?

So awesome & just inducted into" The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" May, 2021
About time... long overdue...
So Thrilled For Them, They So Deserve It!
Greatest female band ever!!
Only after watching this twenty seven times did I notice 3:36 when Belinda gave the shout too early, the band kept playing like the professionals they are, Jane and Kathy looked over at her, she resumed the song, and nobody in the audience noticed the mistake. Perfect.
Great catch, and great recovery by both the band and Belinda.
Belinda is so beautiful and talented , had a huge crush on her in the 80s ❤ now 63 and still listen 😂❤
Lejos, lejos las mejores rockeras de todos los tiempos!!!
The most perfect pop song ever written. Such great musicians. I just love what a cool lead singer Belinda is. She doesn’t jump around and make anything cheesy. She just sings and moves so relaxed.
Too cute when she kicked her shoes off and performed the rest of the song barefooted.
@@usafvet100 Rest of the concert barefooted so she could be all over the stage. What a great performance!
@@usafvet100 If you watch Go-Go's concert videos you quickly see that it's Belinda's norm to do that.
@@Jestak That's a down-to-basics rocker girl right there.
The most perfect pop song ever written? Are you insane? Congratulations on making the stupidest comment in TH-cam history. Your family must be proud.
Congrats to the GO GO's being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! Long over due!!
The Go-Go's belong in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.Tony
la bajista es una diosa!!!!!
Like many have said, these ladies belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Not even close that they belong.
Loved watching Belinda kick off her heels and cut loose! They all sparkled!
Absolutely love this song!!!!!
I was a metal head. My girlfriend loved the GO Go's.
Central Park Rock Concerts are really amazing energy.....The Go Go's in Central Park are five steps past amazing.....
You never get ripped off when the Go-Go's are on stage
i always liked the Go-Go's but I was never obsessed with them until recently. I think it was the Showtime documentary and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that gave me a new found appreciation for them.

Same
Listened to them from the beginning in 1981,there awesome
Wait, what Showtime Documentary?!
@@Philmoscowitz This one. th-cam.com/video/GsiRfL11I08/w-d-xo.html
@@Philmoscowitz Alison Ellwood's documentary "The Go-Go's" was initially released on Showtime. It's also on Blu-Ray and DVD now.

Definitely they will ba inducted..God Bless
Yeah.
Down with the patriarchy!
Proud son here!!!
Go MOM!!

@@Nal9411 thanks!
@@stringfellowhawk3392 she trully is! Thanks!
Which one is your mom?
I love the way Kathy and Gina rock out that bass and drum riff, it's my favorite part of the song!😁😁😁
Quem passou aqui pra ver esta banda maravilhosa ❤ em 2023.
I've loved the Go Go's since day one. Say what you want. There is something very special and magical here. This song is so good. I literally had tears of joy.
The voice that never grow old..kabooshhhh!!!!
Full of energy , no matters the years.
Man beat the shit out of those drums!! Love it!!!
Wow, they sound good live.
More than the bass, I love the bassist... ❤️
Beautiful and talented bassist!
Kathy Valentine!
That's a top notch rock band. Every player firing on all cylinders on an iconic classic. Kathy on bass makes their sound.
This has more energy than the original!
Go-Gos are one of the few groups that sound same or better live than in the studio. You know they paid with hard work and attention to detail for that level of ability. True musicians, a credit to their craft
WOW ..these women aged like a damn fine wine! and they made great music..excellent!
This was 20 years ago. I doubt they look as good now.
Go-Go’s forever. Always takes me back when I was 15.
FINALLY !!!! HALL OF FAME !!!
They sound so good. If that's a total live concert with no recorded music they totally nailed it. They are so talented and entertaining. They look like they're having so much fun. And kudos to the person who did the soundcheck. Everything blended perfectly.
Yes, I like that what they play is what you hear. No overdubbed crap. They could have easily programmed in those claps that are in the recording, but they didn't.

I don't think there is a band that more resemble the Majesty and fun of the 1980s than the Go Gos!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Nice BASE LINE🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!!!!
Yea! Go Go's voted into Rock Hall of Fame on May 12, 2021!
The lady playing the piano is fabulous! That piano!
I feel like the parrot, Iago dancing on Jafar's shoulder in the movie Aladdin.
Can you imagine what she would do on a Grand Piano?
when one's maturity reaches a peak. It's nice that it was recorded.
Cool.all black bass, the go gos were lucky to have such a great drummer, the best of the best
A great rock band rests on its drummer and then its bassist. Anyone can play guitar chords
Gina looks great. Filled out nicely. And her drumming is spot on.
Love this girl banď till now.. part of my teenage life.. God Bless you Go-Go's❤
The drummer is a beast
Yes !!!
Basic
@@joshuaowens4797
Better than you can play
@@joshuaowens4797 Yes you are basic and less.
They really had excellent stage presence and charisma!
I could watch their performances all day all night. They are true rock gods.
Greatest single of the early '80's.
You are not far off at all there, my friend.
One of the best concerts that I ever stumbled on threw U tube!!! Wow!!! Thanks GO GO,S !!!!!!!
The Go-go's, one of the most best female rock band group in the world..
The Ultimate rocking go go's song even better live!!
One of the greatest bands ever to grace the stage!

What a great song! And a great band! I’m here 2025
This is a song you can headbang to! I can’t believe it!
Charlotte, Gina and Kathy really shine here.
Music was so much better than today's fillers
The Go-gos should be in the Rock and Hall of Fame.
Surely she will rank as the greats in .music history . Absolutely .And the band as well .
Their music just made you feel happy!!
Great to see the Go-Go's reunited.
Just discovered this track and video - just amazing line up and as for the drummer = subline
The Go Go’s rock… period!! 🎤🎸🥁🎹🥰
Das Ist Live! Das ist der Hammer! Einfach perfekt!
mein ich doch.
I remember hearing this song when I was 7 at the Sun Valley Mall. Vivid memories...I still get butterflies...
Glad to grow up as an "80s kid" back when MTV played music videos and rock bands were based on their talent instead of the help of sound distorting synthesizers. Kids nowadays will never understand!!
Son espectaculares, una gran banda empoderada por mujeres, por siempre su música, un gran abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱
It’s time to put them in the hall of fame. The greatest girl band in the 80s
Apparently it’s finally happening. I’ve seen both May and October 2021 (maybe the decision was made in May with induction in October?). Either way, it sounds like they’re finally getting recognized. Cheers.
Who cares?
One of my favorite song! So cool so refreshing!!!
80's rocks all day!

This girl knew how to play, really played and it from a time when they made good music.
One of the best live performance ever!!!
They are spot on here. Gina is a beast! Love her passion and she is seriously into it.
She is incredible !!!
This is much more rock'n than the record and they are all much more seasoned. Love it.
It was about time to be recognized and Inducted to the Hall of Fame. Congratulations and where to go go's girls. 🤗
Keep on playing this music. Feels like always hearing for the first time
