I’ve been in love with her since 1979. 😍🤩😍🥰😘

It happened to me

I’m in love!!

Omg I was about to comment on this before I saw your post. I'm so in love with Cindy ❤

I could watch a whole video of her singing and dancing. This is great ear and eye candy.

It really is.

You would have just cried the whole time and ruined it for everyone else because that's what 1 year olds do :D

You really should have, geesh! Lol. This had always been my absolute favorite B-52 song and though I didn't see this show, I was lucky enough to catch the B-52s in 91 before things took a bit of a turn with them, but it was one of the best shows I've ever been too, and I've definitely been to a lot of shows! But don't get your diaper in a twist, lol they are still performing, though unfortunately just not the same B-52s anymore

@@shanesworld6363 bahaha

Now that’s funny!

I was negative three and I should have been there

👍👍👍👍👍

+Tony Peterson There is bass; kate plays it on the synth however

Tony Peterson The Kate's keyboard is the bass, here.

Ricky played a 5-string here. Only 4 songs in this concert are in 4 string tunings: Dance This Mess Around, Rock Lobster, and Runnin' Around are in CFxxFF, where Private Idaho is in xEBxBB. However, Private Idaho differs from the album version, which is a 5 string in EBDxBB. Edit, at the 18 thumbs up mark: clarified something I was incorrect on 6 years ago.

I think it's a Glockenspiel, the xylophone doesn't sit upright like that

@@chessmentor63 A glockenspiel has wooden staves. Can't remember what this is called.

That just blew my mind,, makes me wonder what Cindy and Ian singing together on a track would've sounded like???? My guess is AWESOME!

I'm stealing this idea for future conversations. A JD/B52s collaboration would've been phenomenal.

No similarity to JD whatsoever. Drums: completely different style. Guitar: completely different style. No bass here (Kate plays a keyboard bass, which id totally different), while JD is Peter Hook's bass guitar up front. Vocals obviously galaxies apart. Vibrophone missing in JD. Very dissimilar dancing styles. Nothing could be more different.

I'll never give her man back... 😉

I hear a few similarities, and genre-wise; a larger sameness. Like adding the Lucy Show to the mix, would be befitting. NME.

spot on

This was her moment Today ....42 years ago, Wild Planet was released

That scream says it all. So Rock ‘n’ roll

yeah, she brought tears to my eyes.. gut wreching

Always loved this band . So much Energy !!!

MobiusBandwidth Hell yeah!

MobiusBandwidth she sings past the heart and it comes straight from the gut.

After I watched this I had assumed that they had been to at least one Sex Pistols show. That assumption proved correct.

They remind me deep America. Something like described by David Lynch.

Pop my arse. This is POST PUNK of the highest order!

One of my happiest fantasies would have been to live with Cindy in the Pee Wee Herman playhouse on a bluff overlooking the ocean. It would have been an existence entirely free of want or sadness.

You’re the second man to say this about Cindy within the first 5 comments, so I’ll say to you kinda what I said to him which is hell yes, and you don’t even have to be a man, or a gay woman either.

I think that was der Glockenspiel.

@@wralford🥱

@@wralford Touché

@@wralfordyep.

Watching her dance is fun because SHE is having fun herself!

Yes!!! Keep watching her scream and dance- bam! Wish the camera never cut away.

I do.

100000%

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT, literally the definition of "Dance like nobody is watching"

Great punk

Her performance is a mesmerizing symphony of contrasting qualities. With profound depth, she exudes an enigmatic blend of insecurity and assertiveness. Her voice pierces the air like a demonic force, simultaneously revealing vulnerability and fragility. However, within her emerges an astonishing display of demonic prowess, showcasing a truly profound and multifaceted performance.

Well, she wants her man back. They shouldn't have taken him from her in the first place...

@@sodium9920shut up nerd

Omg! Cant take my eyes off her. Cindy is clasic.

One million thumbs up!

Watched 5 different versions of Cindy performing this epic song youth to current and her whole emotional power & vibe has me weeping... Seems youth is escaping us...☆☆☆

Holy crap , you are so right 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

Actually, I think that's more of a shimmy, but... :P

They definitely lost the rock edge when he died. Nothing tops the first two albums in my opinion.

@@wormius428 I have to admit, Wild Planet had some awesome rock songs.

@@wormius428 They lost it by the time Mesopotamia was released, sadly. I don't blame David Byrne for it whatsoever, but it also got rushed and it wasn't properly finished when it was released.

Lol what? She's a great singer and this is a great song but one of best vocal performances is a little much.

@@Jasonhoods wow well we should bow down and kowtow to you sir , get back to Celine .

@@clintdavies491 Your name is Clint. Don't talk to me.

@@Jasonhoods jasonhoods has spoken .. don't have an opinion , like what Jason likes.

@@clintdavies491 shhhhh

yeah Cindy's vaginal screams are heartbreaking *.*

Don't forget Kate's insanely fast bass synth and Fred's rocking xylophone!

It wouldn't be the same without Ricky's insane guitar driving this song and Cindy's vocals.

Amazin

A little secret, Keith and Ricky were playing PUNK ROCK. Save all the rest, and "new wave",. They were doing it, and Ricky was playing blues like Keith Richards......

+newwavepop Yeah, she was HOT back then.

+newwavepop Hottest thing walking back then for sure . Ive been in love with cindy for almost 40yrs now.. That voice, those big brown eyes and her gogo dancing !!! One of the sexiest women ever

I thought it was just me! :)

Who hadn't?

She’s the best dancer.

Lyrics are confusing???? You don’t know what fish & candy are??! 😢

thank you.

Yeah, I thought it was a better vocal than the studio version

The B-52’s made amazing records, but they were even better live. I saw them about a month before this, at the Agora Ballroom in Houston, and I still clearly remember just how tight, fun, and intense they were. Not a single person was standing still in the crowd.

Check out the version at the US festival in 83'. Ricky's playing is incredible.

She is actually asking the shark to give her back her man (“I’ll give you fish”) She loved him so much that she’s gone a bit crazy even throwing the Divinity candy to the seagulls in order to help her spot her man in the sea. She also wants to go to the bottom of the sea with him; the lyrics say to watch the motorboat she’s in and that “her man is at the bottom of the...” sea being taken away by the shark. Cindy Wilson explains that in her book.

scott pierce, once is not enough with this track. I'm mesmerized 😳😍 I'm watching it over and over

They had to move their style after Ricky's death.Strickland did a good job on guitars,however, he didn't have the same Ricky's skills. They ve lost the surf/punk riffs.I like most albuns but B52s and Wild Planet are by far better in my opinion. Although COSMIC THING did better on sales.

David Wan I agree 100%. This has been and always will be my favorite of theirs. I find it magical actually.

Is it God or is it her boyfriends supposed shark attack. Wow that sounds like a stupid question

I agree, like everyone believes she’s asking that to a woman but she’s asking it to the shark “I’ll give you fish” 🤣😂

@@pierremontparnasse I always thought maybe her man was a sailor who'd been seduced by a mermaid 🤷🏼‍♂️

3:12

They were all in their early 30's except for Cindy which was indeed in her early 20's.

i agree, this is the best live version I have seen, the scream at end after her wailing was great. Her dancing was good too. later live versions, she dropped the wailing and sometimes a scream ,I liked the wailing.

In 1980, Kate was 32 and Fred was 29.

I was fortunate to see them in London during the winter of 1980. They were amazing live!

I can agree with that totally. 78-82 those 4 short years produced some amazing NW/PP live performances. 40 years later & the feeling can still be felt.

That was very funny the lyrics to the song are a bit unusual

@@ronbaker2673 "Korvette's" was a department store, "Divinity" was a simple candy.

Okay, I'll come back: I've been a FOOL!! Of course, in reality, I would never leave a woman like Cindy Wilson! EVER! She has heart, she grooves, in short; she Rocks!

And her timing with the drummer is perfect! Neither one slows down or gets a break the entire song.

ha. old school actually playin them keys.

literally what i was thinking the whole time!

Midi & sequencing was not available till @ 1983 or so.

@@donbailey6600 Well, maybe I don't use the word "sequencing" properly. With it I mean getting a rhythmic sequence of notes by pressing a key a single time. It was pioneered by Kraftwerk and Moroder, widely used in disco music at the end of the 70s and in electro and synth pop in the very early 80s. When I was a kid my parents bought me a keyboard, in 1979 or 1980.. I could play the lower keys sequenced to a set of 10 rhythms at different speeds, though of course the rhythms were presets. I used to turn down the drums volume and play just the sequenced notes, it was really cool, I just felt like a junior Moroder! 😄 it sounded kinda like this and I thought Cindy was using something like this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsxderp6vsnFpqs.html

How do llive

Cindy es mi morrita

I know! Absolutely awesome. Must have watched this 50 times this weekend. Thanks poster.

and here is the third one.

A Goddess. When this video signal reaches distant aliens, they will come for Cindy to be their Queen.

wygakyl Cindy is a vixen

1982, So. Cal, brought just bought 'Wild Planet' and other albums to a s l o to start party.. 15 minutes later 'party zone'.. of all the albums, true, this one was stolen that night. Interesting to note B52s were emerging in Georgia late 70's clubs.. of all places.

With all of the horrible musicians and songs out there that have come across my radar, the fact that I'm just now hearing this song makes me feel as though someone needs to be fired! 😂

Right on brother. I was south OC. Made many trips up to west la and Hollywood. Saw them for the first time at Irvine Meadows when it first opened.

yeah! this performance really have a joy divison soul. Awesome!

Wow Wee. I saw them live outdoors in 1979. I had just seen them on SNL doing Rock Lobster and did not know what to expect. Well, I didn't expect to be transported to another planet! I could not believe it. Still my favorite show to this very day. Must have been the skateboarding and the Acapolco Gold.

Which is a good thing, right?!

You can feel that shit. 👌🏿

Me loves this band - and these vocalists - but she goes majorly flat many times in this song, even when she’s bending notes. Listen on the second set of vocals after the first instrumental break. Given this is LIVE - and we all swim a bit.

+Lansing Michigan I saw them this same year, the club they played in had a strict 'no standing' policy (it was all tables and chairs around the stage) and they had college football players walking around to enforce it. For this show that lasted for about 5 seconds, by the middle of the first song the tables and chairs were piled up off to either side of the stage and everyone was rockin and frugin the rest of the night. The kicker was the venue had a spotlight booth at the rear top of the venue, when I looked up the two male spotlight operators and a girl were dancing around the booth in their underwear. Now that's a B-52's concert!

B-52s at Northrup Auditorium was also great!
