The B-52's, in their peak incarnation, before the tragic deathof guitarist Ricky Wilson, lieve in Germany in the spring of 1983. The great songs get intense treatment: "Planet Claire," "Song For A Future Generation," "Mesopotamia," "Dance This Mess Around," and of course a killer "Rock Lobster," with unremitting dancing and near-electronic vocal sound effects. The B-52's close the show with a powerful, danceable "Party Out Of Bounds," complete with edgy horns, percussion, keyboards, and yelling. This is an unforgettable evening of irresistible post-punk rock and roll.
