The B52s - 1979-08-24 - Boston, MA (FM)

I've only seen The B52s live once, in July 2000 at the PNC Bank Arts Center as part of a 1980s celebration tour along with The Go Go's and the Psychedelic Furs.

This FM broadcast captures the band just weeks after their debut album had been released, in Boston on August 24, 1979, 47 years ago today.  That disc went to #59 on the Billboard album charrts, while the single, Rock Lobster, reached #56.

This was released by Warner Bros. Records in 2015. You might want to pull it down
