The B-52's - 1982-11-27 - Montego Bay, Jamaica
(Soundboard FLAC)
The Jamaica World Music Festival
Bob Marley Memorial Performing Center
Freeport Zone
Let's see, in 1982, my musical taste skewed towards the music we played in our band, like VH, Judas Priest, Journey, ZZ Top, Stones, etc...NOT new wave at all, it was the enemy. Later towards the mid 80's, the new wave started to make more sense, and the campy gyrations of a band like The B-52's was more intriguing, as rock got taken over by puffy hairdo's and MTV.
So now it's even more intriguing, as I would never have cared back then what they sounded like live, and surprisingly it carries over the weight of the recordings into an entertaining performance. If possible, Planet Claire, Rock Lobster and Private Idaho have never been more fun to hear, than here.
