It is a criminal shame that Jane Wiedlin didn't have at least the same solo career success that Belinda Carlisle did. If she wanted it, that is. I do love me some Go-Gos but Jane just always stood out to me with greatest talent and sweetest charm. Loved her then and even more now 🙂 Thanks for posting this
Belinda has a very glamorous look, I'll grant that, and she is probably a better vocalist than Jane--but not worlds better. I've heard Jane sing live many times, and she's underrated.
I agree with @TrackerNeil, but it's also worth mentioning that Jane Weidlin is one complicated woman. She was ordained so she could celebrate same-sex marriages when they became legal in California, for instance. I remember seeing a Rolling Stones concert movie and "Totally GoGos" back to back, and saying "gee, the GoGos move more in most songs than the Stones did on stage in some tours". I still stand by that statement, decades later, and Jane was the one that jumped around the most.
I love watching this. 80s dancing was a little bit goofy, but a lot of fun. I also enjoy seeing Russell smiling so much. I think he was really smitten with Jane at the time. Who wouldn't be?
Normally I would cry NOT LIVE but they are in fact live! The subtle differences from the record to this performance are there, which speaks volumes of what a great job by everyone up there on stage. Bravo!
Oh yes. Me in 1983 just graduated from college. The Go Gos were tops and this came out. Did I really dance like that? 🙆 but what I wouldn't give to go back 43 years when my body doesn't hurt just rolling out of bed, when everytbing works, and I don't think an all nighter was sleeping through without having to wake up to use the bathroom 3x a night.
This video reminds that my memories of having a crush on Jane were not a illusion. She really was hot and that shapely dress is legit. Wish I can have seen a concert in the 80’s
I can see why Terry Hall gave Jane the song "Our lips are sealed" as a gift,he was in love with the American bird!!!! She was so dang cute we all were in love with her.....I love Terry Halls version of the song as well.
Dang Jane! You have an absolutely beautiful derrière in my book. Even J Lo would be jealous 😉 This song keeps me young since it aired in 1983 while in high school....Glad music doesn't have an expiration date like we do....
Well, we're all entitled to feel who's the hottest, but for me it's KV with Jane a very close second. I'm gurssing Jane might be freakier which i find quite appealing. She definitely has style and class.
Outstanding! Takes me immediately back to ‘83 Jr. High dances. Forgot about how cool the song is 😂. Yes, love Ron, Russell, and Jane. Is it just me or *holy toledo* is the drummer David Kendrick? If so, he seems to be really knocking it out of the park. With that display energy and locking-in to the pulse like that, everybody can run the bases looking good in their own way and score as a team. *WHOA* 3:07 drumstick gets away from drummer, yet he picks up another without missing a beat!! What a pro!!!
Previously mentioned- So many people do not realize what a legend Jane Wiedlin was for music. Her work with Terry Hall (Fun Boy Three) is some of her best writing yet The GoGos get credit for Our Lips Are Sealed. It is a shame.
