The B-52's - Strobe Light - 11/7/1980 - Capitol Theatre (Official) 

This song is the most B-52s song in their entire catalog.

One of the greatest band ever, full of creativity, talent and passion.

Such a killer track. Punker than punk almost. The band sounds tight and the stop/starts and noise are amazing.

Those 2 unmistakable distinct voices.

Strickland laying down some heavy suppressing fire

Fred's delivery of his lyrics is unmatched.love it.

Daaaamnnn, if I could use a time machine. I'll go to this day

Love Kate's scream after the "Kiss the Pineapple" line

b52s, Talking heads, Dead Kennedy's, sex pistols,what fun times! But B52s just make me dance and smile! This is one of my faves, along with Private Idaho, and other early ones.

Sick powerful performance

Love it, such good memories

Why aren't they in the R&R HOF yet?

That bass drum is killer

He'll yeah!!!

Totally badass.

this song has always made me laugh...god I love this band so much :)

Woke up with this stuck in my head for some reason. Good times!

B 52 For ever, the most underrested band in west europe !

Funny and Freaky at the same time. Only the B-52's can pull that off!!!!!!!!

How does this song/vid have only 78k views. Smh

I remember them playing this at UT Knoxville. I must have burnt 2000 calories jumping around that auditorium!

I love you Fred!!

First Tume I heard from them, summer of 80'😮😂😂❤❤❤

Quaalude recreational use kicking in right about now 3:43 . Top 5 song from Fred and co for sure

Absolute Genius!

Awesome still, even after all the years.

B 52 rock and roll Hall of Fame

this has to be the best cut from this series.

Keith Strickland laying it down at 2:45! BAM!

Excuse me while my face melts off. And I'm so glad to see the people up front getting some dancing in. That's what you gotta do to music like this.

The B-52's are a very enigmatic group for me. Someone told me, they were Punk as f***, but for me, they are a mixture of Punk and Rock.

If I had a time machine this is where I would go

Cindy is only 23 in this and they had already been together almost 4 years

This is a punk rock song.

The coolest

Wow!

then i'm gonna kiss your PINEAPPLE!!!

THE. ABSOLUTE. BOMB. B52s rock.

Hard Core... tough kids 👊

It recalls to me of other times of life. Marvelous years

This reminds me of the closing scene from "Looking for Mr. Goodbar".

❤

Watching Fred singing into a disconnected phone is everything. I can die now.

0:22 Fred is saying « where is my telephone » almost like the same way we do these days cause we all have one. I’m from the 80s and nobody has never said a phrase like that then. I’m sure he was the first human owning a phone🤪.

Love It! Thanks for this!~

The only song in this concert where Ricky played the 66 - 68 Mosrite MK V that was painted in Sunburst. It was tuned to D standard, but it only had the bottom 3 strings on it.

RIP Ricky......

Classic!!!

Strobe light and private Idaho and rock lobster altimate jam for ever

Fred "It's a Love Song". When Wild Planet came out DJ's would play this & We & other's did Make Love in The Clubs Under the Strobe Light, Outskirts of Atlanta Late Club, Chicago, Madison Wi, different times tho still have the occasional Afterparty at Hotels with Pools, Security is Cool with it as long as we are quite, they like looking at the naked girls in the Pool.

Strobe light and pineapple kissing great lyrics B52s'. 😜

re the comment about Fred and AIDS, he looks, sounds and moves in this video and all the videos from this amazing concert - he looks to me like a super-healthy music/song/dance geek, bringing joy to the world whether or not the world was ever ready for the B52s. And he and his cohorts inspire me in my later age to get off my gay ass and dance. And I do. You and people who think and express themselves in the way that you did, so publicly nonchalant, as though you were making fun of a paraplegic kid in a wheelchair when just you and that kid are alone in a room (have you done this? probably, right? OMG you are so...wrong...) , to give you every opportunity to pluck off his/her wings, as though s/he were a fly on your table: what on earth do you think you're achieving/accomplishing/ getting done, in this world? You sound like someone who would have volunteered, even starving and unemployed, to operate the Nazi gas chambers. Is that who you are? Is that how you want to be known?

T HANK YOU

I remember, as a long haired metal kid, a lotta chicks liked this. So, I listened p.

How many kids can identify that thing Fred's holding as a phone?

2:48 chet baker on drumss

Those of you who are too young to remember these glory days, we had just come out of the disco era and hero guitar based stadium bands and this group and Talking Heads hit. We were like wtf?! this is epic!

😳😳😳 Strobe Light! (Spandex, it's a privilege, NOT a RIGHT!) 👾

under rated band!!!

I got motion sickness doin' it under the strobe Light but hey, it was fun

Needs a cordless phone

The best

No awesome Ricky solo?!

Wait...does he sing "arms"...or 'arse'?

I want that pineapple too baby!

WHERES MY CORNFLAKES

Hang up the phone Fred, kiss that pineapple already

Where's my telephone?

I can say that it sucks to share a mic..

I was negative 5 yrs old!! Did people see in color in the 80s?? What a strange world we live in.

baba booey at 3:45

Even hetrosexuals love this song, too.

Disclaimer: DO NOT WATCH IF YOU'RE AN EPILEPTIC!

That audience is a trip, they use to be called yuppies back then, now a days it's geek.

Great performance but what a crappy production. Not one of Capitol Theatre’s best.
