The B-52's have been on my 'need to see' list for a while. I have enjoyed their quirky, off-beat music for some time now. This was their 35th Anniversary tour and if you thought that meant that they were ready to be put out to pasture then you would be wrong! Starting with Planet Claire, it was obvious that they still had it. Kate and Cindy's vocals soared through their gorgeous two-part harmonies, Keith rocked the guitar, and Fred entertained as only he could. Kate danced throughout the entire show and really was the centerpiece to me. Cindy didn't participate in the on-stage antics much but her voice is so wonderful and the passion still shows after all these years. It's amazing that a band can sing songs from the late 70's and early 80's and sound just like they did on each respective song. There were five of their most recent songs from their 2008 "Funplex". The audience seemed to be almost as in to those as much as their classics. I would have even added "Pump" back in to the setlist if I had the choice. The audience was clearly into the music as they were dancing the entire time (another memorable moment was during "Rock Lobster" when Fred screams "Down! Down! Down!" the entire theatre got down to the ground.) It's nice when a band can live up to expectations that were high to begin with and they seemed very gracious as well. Bottom line: The B-52's will knock off your socks and rock your wig off!
