I saw them perform Rock Lobster on SNL when I was a kid back in the 70s and I thought it was the weirdest yet coolest thing I ever saw. They helped form my musical taste from then on and becoming a musician down the road.
Thanks for the fantastic music, this band is simply wonderful & there's nothing like them , what a breath of fresh air, now it's time to watch , plan 9 from outer space. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
Kate Pierson was born in 1948, so she is 75 years old now. Vocals still hitting the high notes. Fred Schneider was born in 1951, now 72 years old. Cindy Wilson is a youngster born in 1957 only 66 years old.
Fantastic stuff. These folks have brought the energy, color, love, fun and good stuff to audiences and music fiends since I was a a tween! And props to Kate for doing that killer vocal bit here just as it was in 1978. Damn fine performance. I have an affinity for this band that I don't have for others. There's something extraordinary in these super people and in the sonic magic they create. Thanks very much for sharing this footage.
I was in highschool late 80s..me and a few friends went to a school dance..we were bored..we got them to play rock lobster..and we all got in the middle of danceflloor and flopped around on the floor while the song played..like lobsters haah...we got kicked out..WORTH IT !
Just checked and OMG They're not! This needs to be rectified. They were so influencial. Even John Lennon was inspired by them. He said that they were partially responsible for him coming out of retirement.
I saw them live at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ on June 17 of this year. I waited over forty years to see them. They sounded so good it was as if listening to their recordings! Thank you B-52s!
They were my very first concert at age 15. Mind was blown n all original 5 members playing, no backup band. I’m 55 now n one of my all time favorite bands.
One of the best concerts I've ever seen so good to see one of my favorite bands that I grew up with at the end of the 70's , now if we could only get DEVO to do a full Canadian tour
They still alive and kicking and swinging ! one of the most underrated bands EVER , there soooo good if you give it a chanse ;-) BTW thanks for posting
That would of been a great show to see,there will never be a line up like that again. I always wanted to see the talking heads,but all know that will never happen.
I was there that night with my sister! This band is great! We even got a seat upgrade on the balcony to dance better on the floor. I almost got to meet this band with my VIP, too bad it was cancelled. Got a free shirt though.
I first heard this song in 1979 too. It was at the Free Spirit Club in OKC. My soon to be friend Michael L. introduced himself and filled me in on the band. Planet Claire is a favorite too. I saw them live back in the late 80's in San Francisco..they were great and Very Loud ! i'm still rocking to the B52's @ 68
You dont know how blessed and thrilled i was to see them in Boston last September! One amazing live band with great songs!! Kate had on that lovely sequin dress at that show.
I remember watching them on Saturday night live in the late seventies. Saw them in 2006 in Fort Collins. Nice to see they are still going strong, and still sound just the same as they did way back. Awesome!
I remember seeing the clip for "Rock Lobster" when I was seven, and wondering why I had never been introduced to these aunties and uncles that I was related to.
Saw them in concert in '79 when they were young and vital; great gig. Now they're playing Vegas(!!) and the years show on them and on all of us who were around back then... Oh well, what the hell, at least they're still getting work.
Saw them in Houston twice back in the late 70s early 80s. One show was opened by The Plastics from Japan - both bands were amazing. The other show was opened by Houston cult faves - The Judys. Similar to Fred using the walkie talkie, the Judys had a small black and white TV set making white noise. They would lift it up to the mic to get the sound. Wonderful show.
Would Love to see them Live. But last time I checked I would of had to take out a loan. Funny thing many many moons ago I could of seen them in Buffalo for free. Still regret not going ☹️
This just makes me glad and sad at the same time, knowing full well that we're now all old, fat and slow without the same energy we had when this first came out. 😐
I first heard this on a 45 rpm record at age 17 in 1979...I am now 61. It's still as bizarre now as it was back then.
Bah, moi j'avais 16 ans et j'adore
I relistened to the song the other day and was surprised at how weird it still sounds. “But she isn’t!” Ha!
@@charold3 dammit...I am 61....great song
checking in, i was 16 ...
Me too LOL
This band ROCKS !!!!!!!! - I'm 60 and still love them to bit's.
I’m 60 too,.. thanks for reminding me,….
bit’s??

they are a huge part of my life growing up in high school, still my favorite band ever
Still radical, still freaking people out. Long live the B52’s!

Fred Schneider was born in 1951, now 72 years old.
Cindy Wilson is a youngster born in 1957 only 66 years old.
It’s nice to know there are people older than I am… 72.
Kate looks damn good for her age.
Oh, that backdrop from "Mars Attacks".....one of my all time favorite movies.....one of my all time favorite bands!!!!

Are the B52s in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? They definitely should be. I'm gonna check right now.
Just checked and OMG They're not! This needs to be rectified. They were so influencial. Even John Lennon was inspired by them. He said that they were partially responsible for him coming out of retirement.
Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a pathetic joke. No B52s, Devo, Cramps, and I’m pretty sure even Iron Maiden!
@@ahole1362 Yes apparently playing Rock N Roll is no longer a requirement for inclusion
@@ahole1362 Weller, Oasis, OCS, Pennywise, Bad Religion... The list is LONG!
@teckertime - Right? Good call on Paul Weller!
This talented group is so much fun I wished they could all live forever to keep us entertained on a very different level.😁
Still as strange and wonderful as the first time I heard it! Still love it 😊
OMG. Still My punkich Best group of the 80's and they still got it. I AM 63 now, i was in MIAMI watch them at My 22 year old. Love them....
I saw them live at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ on June 17 of this year. I waited over forty years to see them. They sounded so good it was as if listening to their recordings! Thank you B-52s!
Kate still has pipes! Amazing!
That vocal theramin is amazing!
One of the best things to come out of the States. You don’t get everything right-but you get your music right!
They were my very first concert at age 15. Mind was blown n all original 5 members playing, no backup band. I’m 55 now n one of my all time favorite bands.
I can’t get enough of this band.
Loooong time fan. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

Longevity. Master songwriters, musicians & stage entertainers.
Us Festival 1982 we had been up for 3 days "working" and they come out followed by the Talking Heads and The Police.... Yeah, I levitated...
That would of been a great show to see,there will never be a line up like that again. I always wanted to see the talking heads,but all know that will never happen.
Im supprised their still gigging, and very glad they are too, brilliant band 👍.
There 1st 5 albums are fantastic.
Whoa. That was painful to read.
Guess us oldies still got it always chuck this on in between my metal music great band ..
My daughter Claire loves this song. :)
Did you Planet that way? 😀
Good to see them all back on stage, I love the drummer so professional.
sterling campbell,ex david bowie

Los maravillosos B 52 s !! Una leyenda viviente del rock !!! Un verdadero clásico de clásicos !!
God bless the B52's

B-52's don't just put on a show... they put on a PARTY!... Good times!
Fred Schneider is 72yrs old now. Nothing better came along. So he carries on, as is his wont. Dare to be better, or just go with the flow, and dance.
Outstanding! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the visuals of the flying saucers.
I'm happy to see they're still out there performing. Huzzah.
Cindy is iconic.. doesn't get enough credit.
Saw them in 1982 at the Palladium in Los Angeles with the GoGos. Something I will never forget. A completely packed dance party!
Love the choreography
Best times in my life always with the b52s!
Ty !!! FUN FOR 4
Minutes in 2023!!!!!!
My daughter is named after this song. The B-52’s are awesome.
I'll never forget the night I saw the B-52's open up for The Who! It was amazing!
I met the b-52's in a record shop in London Kate was lovely I was too dumbfounded to say much
You did better than I would have.
If met Kate Pierson, there would be no words, just fainting before melting
最高すぎる！！！
日本に来て欲しい。絶対見に行く！会いたい〜！！
Still hits those vocals like a tuning fork.
My favorite band since ‘79 ❤️
The drummer, Sterling Campbell is AMAZING!!! He played with Bowie...
L’année de mes 20 ans et cette musique en souvenir j’adore ce groupe
So gorgeous 😂❤
Brilliant group.
Geriatric B52's put a smile on my face.
Kate, yes!!
Saw them at the Fox Theater in Detroit in 1979 or 80
Do they ever age😊 ❤
THE TIME IS EQUAL FOR EVERONE !!!!! OLD BUT GOOD....
I saw them back in the day think it was 79 or 80 something. I was 20 great show. Shitfaced and rowdy from what I recall.
You AND the band, I hope! 👍
Vermutlich das beste Lied der Welt
As an 11 year old I was very amused with their music 😊
With all of these UAPs and UFOs being mentioned in the news today, this tune seems very appropriate for the times!
Pela suas artes musicais, se tornaram imorais.. parabéns the B52,s. Pra sempre.....❤
Late seventies; I saw them in Paradiso or Melkweg in Amsterdam :)
I’m glad I saw them way back in 1988 with INXS!
That is so cool !!!
God bless B52!! Kate Pierson is one of the wonders of the World.
Remembering the late 70's when these guys were considered really weird😮...wonderfully weird.
LOL I was one of them that considered them weird. didn't take long to think otherwise however.
I remember seeing the clip for "Rock Lobster" when I was seven, and wondering why I had never been introduced to these aunties and uncles that I was related to.

This just makes me glad and sad at the same time, knowing full well that we're now all old, fat and slow without the same energy we had when this first came out. 😐
I wonder if Fred's beep machine is the original one from the 1978 music video
