The B-52’s — Paradiso, Amsterdam, 2008

Filmed on 19 July 2008 at Amsterdam’s Paradiso by Fabchannel, this B-52’s full concert catches the American band in the middle of the ‘Funplex’ album tour. Pioneers of danceable new wave and unapologetic kitsch, Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson unfurl a jubilant set mixing timeless hits and newer tracks: ‘Private Idaho’, ‘Roam’, ‘Party Out of Bounds’, ‘Funplex’, the essential ‘Love Shack’ and the wild ‘Rock Lobster’. This live capture restores the festive energy of a concert where vocal harmonies, iconic hairdos and surf guitars turn the venue into a giant dancefloor. For fans of new-wave pop and party rock, this filmed concert is pure pleasure: proof that a band formed in the late 1970s had lost none of its whimsy or stage punch three decades later. A complete, documented live concert, to enjoy without moderation.
