The B-52s Tickets

We attended the B52s concert at the O.C. Fair last night and it was tremendous. The setting was great. There is nothing like an outdoor venue and a concert under the stars. The crowd was pumped and in a party mood...even though we had spent the day at the fair in 90+ degree weather. The B52's were great. Kate and Cindy sounded as good as ever. Their vocals were very strong. Fred was a little hard to hear at times, but he still has that unique voice that identifies the B52s. The band is actually better live than on CD. There is a power and drive in the music that doesn't seem to come through on their albums. The songs are powerful, hard driving dance tunes played at a blistering pace. Every song was terrific!

We had never seen the B-52s alive and we were NOT disappointing. Everybody around us was dancing including ourselves. The 80's MTV videos did not do them justice the way seeing them alive does. Their new songs especially Love in the year 3000 were electric. "Love Shack" and "Rock Lobster" still had the juice that delivered. And how do they all look so young after all these years? And the rock goddess on the bass was impressive as well. I want to be tall like her in my next life. Would definitely see them again. I just wish the concert could have been longer...

I wasn't sure what to expect since the B52's have released a new album. I was afraid it was going to be all new songs with a few old songs. I was wrong, they played all of the crowd favorites. Vocals and music were great. Costumes were great. Everyone had an amazing time!

Thanks for the vacation! Our lives are so stressful right now and dancing to the B52s last night was so much fun!!! Special thanks for the terrific encore!!!!

The moment the band played you knew it was going to be a good night, than you heard those oh so distinctive voices! I kept thinking wow it's like they never left us they were spot on. What high energy I thoroughly enjoyed being sent back to days when we rocked the lobster in the love shacks!

Still high energy, sing-along fun. If you get the chance, go see the B-52's. I took my daughters and they had a blast. Pacific Amp is a great place. The fair grounds are sooo clean. Great first concert experiences for my girls.

We had a great time, brought back many good memories

It's been awhile since I'd seen the B52's in concert and I was really looking foward to seeing them again! they didn't disappoint ! at least not me.. I loved being with a bunch of people who sang the songs with the band like I did! I'm surprised I didn't lose my voice from all the singing! I loved seeing people from ALL age groups attending and loved seeing some kids with there parents attending.. It was so much fun. Just like the crowd we all have favorite songs we want to hear.. mine is " Dance this mess around".. I would have gone nuts had they played it.. As for what they did play we loved it. Fred,Cindy& Kate their voices were amazing! still strong and had me dancing the whole show.. the band ! they rocked it hard.

The entire show is a dancing night for all... AWESOME FUN!

I've seen the B'52s many times and they are always fantastic.

They did not miss a beat! They sounded just as they did 30 years ago.

I thought they were amazing. Great energy level, fun concert!

this is the second time i have seen them (first was 1990). they still have endless energy, wit, and can really keep a crowd on it's feet.

If you get a chance to see them GO! My husband and I danced the whole show, it was so much fun. I've seen them 3 times prior and they still rock!

Wow! What can I say? the B-52s still have all the moves, sounds, personality they did when I saw them 25 years ago! What a fun concert!

The B-52s were amazing!! Their voices are so clear and strong. This is one band that will never lip sync because it's clear from the start that they are REAL SINGERS. They sound just as good as they did in the 80's if not better. On top of that, just such a fun party atmosphere. They saved "Rock Lobster" for last and brought the house down. What a fun night they gave us!

Simple, good, fun party music. Everyone stands and dances the whole time even in the back. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Great concert, fun people, perfect atmosphere, sounded great, made me feel young again...(not that I am old). Had a great time!

it was a great show. the 88 opened, early at 7:20, which was a nice surprise and played a 30 minute set. the b52's played a soild 1 hour 20 minute set and left on a high note. they played all great favorites and left you completely satisfied.

We've seen them twice before, and they just get better and better. Lots of energy, a great beat, and fantastic music as usual. The only negative thing is that it was too short!
