    80's still alive

    by Anonymous on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Poor choice of Human League as the closer. The group was flat and did not ignite any excitement from the crowd, such a bummer to leave not pumped up! Berlin was wonderful as always, she should have ended the concert then everyone would have left with her songs playing in their heads. B-52s and Fixx did not disappoint and pulled out all of their hits that made them famous in the 80's. But wow, Human League was a huge disappointment, singing an encore that no one knows?

    Totally '80s could use some revamping

    by Rockinthe80s on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Concert line up would be better in this order: Berlin the Fixx (playing fewer songs and exclude the new song) Human League (cut set by 4 songs) Headliner should be: the B52s!!! Berlin's set was good. Not too long...played the songs we know and want to hear. A perfect way to kick off the evening. The Fixx---too long. Human League---it's hard to follow the B52s and their energy! Cut the unknown songs. The B52s--- great as usual! They brought the whole house to their feet! Everyone was singing along, If you shorten the sets of the Fixx and Human League, the B52s can play more songs! With all that said... it was a nice evening.

    B52's Rocked!

    by DkInla on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    In summary: Berlin: Sounded great, Terri looked awesome. Set list too short, should of played later. The Fixx: Better than expected. B52's: Incredible. Amazing how great they looked and sounded. Should of closed. The Human League: Terrible. No idea why they closed. People were leaving half way through their set.

    Loved the 80's flashback bands

    by BowlBabe on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Great venue for a mosaic of talent. I was surprised that the B52's weren't the last band of the night, seeing the crowd loved them the most. We had a great time people watching all the people dressed in their fave 80s costumes. Overall... It was great seeing these bands close to 30 years later. THEY STILL LOOK AND SOUND GREAT! I didn't like some of the disturbing/twisted video segments that the HUMAN LEAGUE started out with... was STRANGE. I love going to concerts at the HWD BOWL, but WHY are there SO MANY FEES???? It's not like we get any "conveniences" with convenience charges!!!!!!

    First of all, I cannot believe they started on time! When does a concert ever start on time? We missed Berlin and half of the Fixx! The Fixx was one of the main reasons we went! The traffic at the bowl was the usual nightmare. The parking a joke. The staff totally useless. It was dark and they couldn't help us find our seats. Then the people behind us were so stinking drunk it was impossible to enjoy the music!

    Human League Rocked The Bowl!

    by NewWave80sGirl on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    I've been a 40-year old longtime fan of New Wave music since the 80s (still play my favorite tunes weekly!) and the Human League, The B-52's, The Fixx and Berlin concert at LA's Hollywood Bowl did NOT disappoint. Firstly Terri Nunn of Berlin our gracious host for the night looked amazing and her vocals were the strongest of all the women singers of the evening. Berlin sang all their big hits as did The Fixx, whose lead singer Cy Curnin looks more handsome than his 80s days. His voice was also superb. What can I say about the B-52's? I'm not one of their biggest fans but with their infectious energy and fun songs you can't help but dance—they had the entire Bowl audience on their feet. But the act of the evening by far was the Human League! Philip Oakey brought the middle-aged British cool and Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall ushered in the night's high end, smooth glamour. The band's avant-garde presentation is completed by an onstage screen positioned above and behind the group that flashes images and videos of everything from swimming amoeba to urban city dweller sheep participating in the rat race of life. Human League did all the hits and more: Fascination, Mirror Man, Love Action, Don't You Want Me and more. Don't walk, run, bop and skip all the way to this show if you have the opportunity. It does NOT disappoint. Note: in some cities Human League is the headlining act, in others it's the B-52s and in some cities The Fixx in not on the bill but Men Without Hats is. But in any carnation, this show is well worth it. Be sure to check it out! It's been days after my show, but in my brain I'm still there :0)

    HUMAN LEAGUE + B-52s

    by ELECTRICEARL on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    HUMAN LEAGUE Con: The girls still can't sing. Pro: They did "Empire State Human," one of their earliest singles. As with all shows of this type of music, it's impossible to tell how much of the instrumental part is pre-recorded or "triggered" from a synthesizer. You're really paying to see the singers. I wish they'd done more songs from DARE, which is one of the all-time classic albums of that era. There was too much material that I didn't recognize, at the expense of better material that was not played. B-52s Con: Kate rarely plays keyboards anymore. There's a guy in the back who plays her old parts. Pro: Lots of hits! This was my first time seeing them in over 30 years. The biggest difference, of course, is how many hits they've had in the meantime, lots of great songs I'd never seen them perform live before (other than on TV). Kate sings better than ever. Fred sounds about the same. Cindy not so great.

    B-52's Rock

    by 16APR on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    I liked the show unfortunately there was two women behind us talking through The B-52's, The Fixx and Berlin's performance. Apparently they were there to see the Human League. They did not stop talking until the Human League came on, which in my opinion were the worst. I did not like them as much. We left early! People out there - when you attend a performance it is to watch not talk!! Very inconsiderate and rude.

    Terry Nunn trumps Human League

    by 40SomethingGal on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    B-52's great as usual! The Fixx put on a fine show, too. Human League was dismal and unentertaining. The real gem of the show was Terry Nunn (Berlin). She gave a spectacular performance and was a charming emcee.

    A good show, overall

    by Andrew1977 on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    I came to this event as a big fan of The Human League and the B-52s; I had never heard The Fixx or Berlin. Things started off well; these latter two bands delivered fine, straightforward performances. I was a little disappointed by the B's. First, the sound quality was not very good. The kick drum and bass guitar were non-existent. A four-to-the-floor stomper like "Mesopotamia" is never going to sound right if you can't hear the kick drum and bass guitar! Additionally, it wasn't one of Keith Strickland's better performances. His guitar playing was imprecise and noisy, and it didn't serve to anchor the songs melodically. That kind of playing only works in a context where there are keyboards and rhythm guitars to fill out the center. Sadly, the keyboard player was also playing things ragged and loose, omitting several signature parts. Still, Kate, Cindy, and Fred did a great job. Kate's vocals were stellar as ever. I was a little worried at this point in the show, but The Human League really delivered. They were great from the first moment. I think part of the crowd was a little mystified by their high-fashion, continental aesthetic, what with the arthouse backing film and Armani wardrobe and all. I'm guessing a lot of people really hadn't heard any of their songs except for "Human" and "Don't You Want Me" and so probably expected them to be a campy nostalgia act. Well, I'm glad that they take themselves more seriously than that. Their music deserves it. I hadn't listened to their records in a while, but I was struck by the cold beauty of their vocal melodies set against the harsh keyboard lines. The sound was rich and full and all the vocals were dead on. The encore performance of "In Electric Dreams" was killer.

    Love the B-52's!

    by LAdenizen on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Love the B-52's! The other bands were great and I loved hearing the 80's music, but my heart belongs to Fred, Kate and Cindy. The Hollywood Bowl is an excellent place to see a concert. The only problem is parking, but not so much.

    great 80s music. By far, B-52s were the best act. Show should have ended with B-52s as 4th act. Berlin should have been given more time. Human league should not have sang so many new (e.g. 2011) songs as nobody knew them and the crowd was not involved.

    Terri Nunn was a great host, personally thought Berlin should have been the headliner act playing a longer set, B-52's rocked the house, great show all groups

    Totally Awesome

    by PepperA on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Terri Nunn is amazing11. The B 52's rocked the entire Bowl and should have stayed on stage longer. Human League was good but disappointing too!!! over all I loved it. That lead singer from the Fixx was super hot and performed well!!!

    Hollywood Bowl experience

    by BDOinLA on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Berlin, The Fixx and The B-52's were amazing, so fun! But Human League... not so good. 1. Heads stopped bobbing, and many, many people started leaving (including us) after Human League was on for a few minutes. 2. B-52's should have been the last act. My two cents.

    80's live on....

    by Moongirl8 on 9/4/11Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Great concert. Every band was great. I really cam for the Human League and to be honest they were the least authentic sounding to their old LPs I used to listen to, but I loved it all the same : ) Unfortunately, althought he crowd appeared older and more mature, we had an incident with a drunk patron behind us and had to call Security who removed him- a bit of a distraction!!

    One of the best concerts I’ve seen

    by SebastianC on 2/24/11Gibson Amphitheater - Los Angeles

    Thank you Human League, the sound was amazing, the songs list awesome! I will go next to see them, they don’t disappoint like other artists that want to play only new material excluding the hits that most of the audience expect to listen.
