I was first introduced to the B-52s in 1983, when I was 10 years old.
Paul Gordon – Organs, Synth/Keyboards/Piano.
Keith Strickland – Guitar, Keyboards/Piano.Who: The B-52s Venue: Ovations LIVE! Showroom at Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino Presented By: Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino Where: Chandler, Arizona When: JSeating: C5, third row center floor section (as well as photo press pass stage side) And the B-52s continue to deliver after all these years. Because when it comes down to it, as stylishly esoteric and at times irreverent as their music can be, the B-52s are all about celebrating life and doing so in the most positive manner we know how – through great music. And what was really moving for me were the efforts made by the band to not only acknowledge them within the crowd, but literally reach out to them, with members of the band giving them cool mementos to remember this great night, including drum sticks and guitar picks and the like. Within the crowd were a number of kids, just having the time of their lives. The thing that most struck me about their concert at the Ovations LIVE! Showroom inside the Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino last night… how their timeless music continues to have the same impact on generation after generation. I have been a fan of the B-52s going back nearly 30 years, finding their music when I was a kid, and being really moved and inspired by their unique and always catchy sound.
