 The B-52s
 Live At Us Festival DVD
 Review by Gary Hill

This concert is from 1982. That makes this the classic lineup of the band. The B-52s are a band I like a lot, but have never gotten to see live. This concert video shows what kind of live show they did in their prime. The video and audio are both good. The set list is great. If you come looking for songs like “Love Shack” and “Roam,” though you will be disappointed because those songs didn’t exist yet. What we get is a great performance. I do have one complaint, though. The flow of the concert is broken up by interview clips. Those new clips are great, but there should be an option to watch the concert without them. Still, as good as the performance is, that’s something I can overlook.
