The B-52s performed their first ever gig in February 1977. 34 years later, on Valentine s Day 2011, they returned to their home town of Athens, Georgia to celebrate with this brilliant live show. Wig-wearing, boa-draped, glitter-covered fans came to join in and saw the band deliver a sizzling 90 minute set that turned Athens Classic Center into a cosmic dancehall. A B-52s live show is always the best party in town, yet here in front of their home crowd they even managed to turn it up a notch further. Packed with all their fan's favorites, this is high spirited good time rock n roll packed with great tunes, wild romance, blood pumping grooves and a lot of fun!

Bonus:
Interview with the B-52's (1080i; 33:17). This is a really fun interview with the central quartet, who talk about how they met in Athens and the history of the band. The four are very funny and have some wonderful anecdotes to share about their long association together. What's fascinating about this interview is how virtually accidental the members meeting each other was, and how serendipitously their Top 40 music career happened to them. This was not a band with oversized ambitions out to conquer the world, by any stretch of the imagination. There are some poignant remembrances of Ricky included here.
