The B-52s are currently on road with a North American tour and plan to hold a 35th anniversary tour next year. But if you can catch the group in person, you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home starting October 11th when Eagle Rock releases the new live album, With The Wild Crowd! — Live In Athens, GA. Home video versions are also coming soon.
With The Wild Crowd — Live In Athens, GA is the first official B-52s live album, a 90 minute set as recorded in the bands hometown on February 11, 2011.

The show marked the 34th anniversary of their first-ever concert, Valentine's Day 1977. Filmed in high definition, it will also be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2012. It was a night that turned the Athens' Classic Center into a cosmic dancehall.

The CD includes the classics "Love Shack," "Rock Lobster," "Give Me Back My Man," "Funplex," "Roam," "Planet Claire," "Whammy Kiss" and many more.

Additionally, the B-52's 35th anniversary in February 2012 will be celebrated with an extensive 35th anniversary summer tour.

I don't think I've ever heard them do Wig live. I wish they would try a few more from that album like She Brakes for Rainbows, Summer of Love and The Girl From Ipanema.

Last summer in Vegas they opened the show with "Wig". Very nice!

Man, it'd be great if they went back and put out a box of live stuff from throughout their career.

I sure wish they'd put out a new studio album! I thought Funplex was easily one of their best (and that's saying a lot considering how many great albums they've had).

Totally agree with you Ignohippo, I even wear a rock t-shirt of this album. Bought the live album earlier this week, will spin it tonite!
