4.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Sights of the Ultimate Party Band, August 1, 2000

This review is from: The B-52's - 1979-1989 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Anyone who has ever danced to the sound of "Rock Lobster" or "Love Shack" will love the images that go with these songs. One of rock and roll's most underrated groups, the B-52's first came on the scene in 1979 with "Rock Lobster," "Planet Claire," and "Dance this Mess Around." Following the death of member Ricky Wilson, they retreated a bit until releasing their opus, "Cosmic Thing" in 1989. Several of their videos are contained on this collection, including "Love Shack," "Roam," "Channel Z," "Song for a Future Generation," and even a live version of "Rock Lobster." See how Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson started, with huge hairdos and ultimately ended up, with even bigger 'dos. See Fred Schneider evolve from outrageousness to outright camp.

4.0 out of 5 stars I 've loved the music for years, October 3, 2001

This review is from: The B-52's - 1979-1989 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

but hadn't seen any of the videos until recently. My favorite was the 1979 live version of "Rock Lobster" even though the camera work was cruddy. The wierd thing was how serious they all were. I mean, it's a fun and silly song but they were totally intense. The other videos were pretty good but "Rock Lobster" is still the treasure here.

The B-52s at the apex of their career, I have watched this video several times and enjoy it every time. Leaves you hungry for more.
