Oingo Boingo | Live at US Festival ’83 | May 28, 1983 

wait that's actually so funny, steve i'm so sorry 💀

It was always good to see Jim Rockford rockn it

He glitched into his idle position

eppure lui non si considera un bravo cantante...

His influences are Dr. Seuss and Edward Gorey.

Andy Partridge.

@@beandipcartography Yes!

Now i see his name on movie credits making all the music, not songs, .....on movies like the night before Christmas or movies like those. Guys crazy!

Agreed! They were so good and so much fun!

They'll find it if they dig enough....

Well im sorry to say but danny elfman quit for a reason

The closest I’m likely to get is The Nightmare Before Christmas live this month. Maybe he’ll play Dead Man’s Party afterward.

That’s what Burt Bacharach was getting at. I AM SURE OF IT. End of discussion

I was also there man,sure brings back some great memories....

Likewise! I saw them ( like you ‘82, ‘83 ) and around town. Such a great live band!

Made both myself.

...I was there ! Both, Labor Day weekend, then 6 months later Memorial Day weekend. Went to all 3 days both times. What a blast & you know what? Danny Elfman is a freakin genius !

The only reason i pay for youtube

🤗🤗

❤️

I got there early with my friends and we were right up front in the dirt, until they turned on the water sprayers and then we were in the mud……so be glad you were back further where there was some grass! We totally were not expecting the sprayers but it did help keep people from getting over heated since as I recall it was well over 100 degrees in the daytime. We were drinking and smoking all day and I never had to even go pee because I was likely so dehydrated from the heat. It was a great festival!

I was right there with you for all of it live!

I r recall the lineup as being Gang of Four, English Beat, Oingo Boingo, B52s,Talking Heads, the Police , i think in that order but i got there late because we were being followed by some teeny bopper bimbos from Huntigton Beach and we had to ditch them

Thats really funny lmao just realized that

I was a wee child in the Phoenix area. My sister smuggled me into a couple of concerts, it totally blew my mind. Exposed me to a culture that vanished just a few years later when the internet ruined everything.

Orale!!!!

Have you seen what he looks like now? He's 70, and he is totally jacked, super-muscular and ripped. He looks like a 40 year old health nut, and he's 70.

@@fruitiusmaximus925 I've seen him live twice I KNOW how buff he still looks, trust me 😅

The could have headlined day 1. That’s how good they were

@@peterrimel8170 For sure. Everything Danny Elfman touches is gold. It's pretty wild when you look at everything he's been involved with and the number of those projects being huge successes.

I saw them play a set in Mesa, AZ in 1985 that was about two hours long. It's the second-longest set I've seen a headliner play, second only to Nirvana... if Kurt wasn't sick from dope, he would play every d@mn song that he knew.

YES! HAH! I was JUST Thinking what an UNSUNG Guitarist he is! DEFINITELY AWESOME and AMAZING!

Yep, me too. One of the most unsung great guitarists ever.

He is quite amazing, so underappreciated! He has axe mastery that is exhibited here especially in this performance

If there's anyone to learn guitar from it's him and I indirectly remastered his talents in a different way but still

He is extraordinarily under-rated, because he played in a band that didn't utilize a lot of lead guitar. It's on display in this video. His tapping technique at 9:30 shows a touch that some of the best shredders would envy. My only issue with his technique is that he plays with the guitar up in his armpit, which is the signature of someone who prefers to play sitting down, which is not "performance" technique.

Wait, Sluggo is your cousin. You are one lucky individual.

Sluggo is one badass horn player. His solo on 'Islands' is amazing.

Can you introduce me to Sluggo? He's probably my favorite member next to Danny and Avila

Just wandering how we're introduced to the album?

@@melovemusic69growing up in the 70's I was a diehard Zeppelin/Rush/UFO, ect.. fan but I was slowly getting into the new wave seen at the time (1980 and on) and I believe a friend from cooking school had the cassette tape and I was hooked.

I was lucky enough to see them live to many times to count it was amazing!!!🔥🔥🔥I'm a bit older but still love the music!!!

My uncle introduced me to serious stuff for a kid, his acid rock records, the kinks the tubes vile lyrics so in return I made him take me to this show he did it but only because they opened for the Police and I believe that’s when we decided every concert we could get to across the bridges of rock genre. We grooved together I remember when my boyfriend went to a show for a band called The BackDoors they played The Doors music of course but my uncle said hey you guys wanna go up and dance. Being teenagers this was odd because he’s not your friend even if he sells you or some came up missing. I really had some great times with my uncle, after that show I got up and danced with him for years..I love that man..thank you for giving me something to get through those years without having to say anything he’d break out the records and play the very song you needed & the lyrics to read and it’s healing because my uncle couldn’t show that he loved me he couldn’t say it. His heart was big enough to realize it and to make sure I was okay & “listen to this song” he’d say. if I cried he gave me my space and when he’d come back in the room he’d grab a record that made you wanna dance. ❤❤❤

I was 15 when "Good For Your Soul" came into my hands and although I had a seldom chance or two to see them, I was always alone or something else would regretfully interfere with my chance to be part of historical night(S) of Oingo Boingo musical masterpiece excellence! Oh, craps on all those damn'D missed gold-filled opportunities that this fallen World presents to you at untimely spots. . . . . . .

Best live band EVER … 🤩

Still is.

Did you enjoy the US festival?

That was you???? you still owe me for the ticket...

You said you'd give me poon and I never got it...

@David Murphy Nice! Definitely a cool cat. Did you by chance get a mention in the band roster at the end of his autobiography?

Stewart wrote the music for the Spyro games and the Amanda Show.

Why wouldn’t you be trying to make your way to the front and or watching them?

Awwwwwsome

They had to hear them on KROQ. I was so lucky to grow up in Southern California in the '80's. I saw Boingo 3 different times. They were amazing!

have you heard zuma ii then? that's where the two moved after boingo

@@tstevens416 I have, not a giant fan. Felt like both projects got more pop focused than the original.

Hot black coffee with a load of sugar 🤪

Word

sweaty boy

Yep

Poor guy. He wants so badly to strip but he can’t because the sun.. IT BURNS. He described it as feeling like hundreds of tiny nuclear explosions on his skin and he was an amateur nuclear scientist as a kid so he would know what that would feel like!

It was so dam hot that day. I am also a ginger and went home so burnt .

@@snydersub My cat is a ginger - a Siamese ginger, so he too is mostly white and pigment deficient - he’s got freckles on his pink nose. Danny however appears so pigment deficient he can’t even freckle?

Guess the kiss was implied elsewhere.

Hey man I love your channel, you’re a legend in the Bully community! As a fellow boingo and bully fan, doesn’t the intro to Dead or Alive sound like Defender of the Castle or just the soundtrack in general?

@@dim1878 Thanks man! To be honest I didn't find any similarities between Bully and OB songs. I listened to both plenty of times, maybe I'm missing something?

USN #1! I entered the Navy in June of 1983.

Thank you for your service! My dad served aboard USS WASP! Go Navy!

It's mostly because he spent years doing these shows without hearing protection and now he's a bit hard of hearing, unfortunately.

That’s why he sings the Nightmare Before Christmas show now.

He also got tired of performing the same songs over and over again.

it seems it is part of the "Encore" you can find Farewell Tracklist piece of paper online too, songs like forbidden zone and I think pain, they only get played under circumstances I assume, plus for this they had a time limit I think

@@Ian_Johnson Before Goodbye Danny says they’re running late so yeah that’s probably right

Don’t use any of those 3 words in the same sentence ever again.

I was there too down front. I got a few great pictures. it was my 2nd time seeing them. surprised they didn't play ONLY A LAD.

I was just thinking what an amazing concert to be at.....Motley Crue, Judas Priest Missing Persons... it is only today that I found out that OB where there as well.... lucky man
