In February 2011, thirty-four years into their reign as the World's Greatest Party Band, The B-52's returned to celebrate in the town where it all began - Athens, Georgia. Now this concert will be available as the band's first-ever live Blu-ray, when
The B-52s with the Wild Crowd - Live In Athens, GA is released via Eagle Rock Entertainment on March 20.
With The Wild Crowd was recorded in the B-52s' hometown at a show that commemorated the band's 34th anniversary of their first-ever live show on Valentine's Day 1977. Wig-wearing, boa-draped, glitter-covered fans came from near and far to celebrate this historic event as the band delivered a sizzling set that turned Athens' Classic Center into a cosmic dance hall.
Filmed in high-definition, this 90-minute set is packed with fan favorites like "Love Shack," "Rock Lobster," "Roam," "Funplex," "Give Me Back My Man," "Private Idaho," and "Planet Claire."
With The Wild Crowd! is filled with all the excitement, fervor and energy of a classic B-52s dance party, a showcase for the non-stop, high-octane force of a group that has never lost their youthful and dynamic energy.
