Anyone ever see The B-52s live? (2013 UK dates -centric)

spiritofjazz [Edit] [Delete] 10:48, 6 February '13

Just seen hey're playing a few dates over here in August (Glasgow ABC 12th, Manchester Academy 13th, Birmingham Academy 15th, London Indig02 16th).

For whatever reason, they're one of those bands that I've never had any kind of perception of as a live act. So I just watched some footage of them in their heyday on YouTube and they looked pretty fucking great. But then the latter day footage suggests that they eventually morphed into some sort of shitty cabaret act.

Will this be £40 well spent?
