Growing up in Orange County, CA I was supremely fortunate to see Oingo Boingo MANY MANY times...Their music is still a huge part of my life..I will still be an Oingo Boingo Fan to the end of my days! Blue hair and all!

Gosh, I feel old. I think I was in the room for this performance. While living in LA from 1978 - 81 I saw Oingo Boingo several times at Madam Wong's. They're still one of the best live bands I've ever seen. It's a hoot seeing "straight man" Steve Bartek onstage, years before he collected multiple film scoring credits. Thanks softsalva for sharing this video!

Simply Magical. Big Sis' brought home their 4 song EP when i was in 8th grade. My 1st concert @ the Greek for Holloween my freshmen year. New Years @ Long Beach Arena the next year, including getting Johnie Vatos drumstick. And the farewell show....Can't thank the boys enough for the great memories assosciated with them and their music.

I first saw Boingo at Eddie Nash's Starwood (see, Wonderland Murders) in 1980. Saw them every chance I got right up to their farewell concert. They absolutely ruled the LA Club scene. Best live performance band I ever saw, and I have seen them all. They opened for The Police at The Forum and stole the night. All anybody could talk about after was Boingo's energy and how tight a sound they had live. Fantastic musicianship. *sigh* I guess I am old.

I am 28 and became obsessed with Boingo when I was 7! My sis gave me DMP and I was hooked...obsessed really. I was a member of the fan club, the whole bit. I turned my folks into Boingoloids as well so when I was 13 (93) and when I was 15 (95, the farewell tour, oct. 24th to be exact) we went to see them, travelling to Chicago and then Salt Lake (an 1800 mile drive!). I am so glad I saw them twice...I won't make you feel bad by saying that out of hundreds of concerts there's was the best..but..

This was the song KROQ began playing, causing Oingo Boingo's career 2 take off. Their 1st live appearance after the release of their 1st EP was at the Wiskey A Go Go. The show was in Oct of 1980, which was the 1st date I had with my boyfriend, whom I've been partnered with now for 29 years. Every year afterwards Oingo Boingo performed a Halloween show somewhere around the greater LA area, which also served as our anniversary celebration every year the band was together. 1 of my fav 80's band.

I agree. I grew up in the late 80's and 90's. Majority of teens now are so different. Back in that day, it was about dressing how you want and listining to what you want. Now it's about fitting in. They all dress the same and act the same.

The mosh pit: take it easy... it's obvious no one was attempting to be "hard core" Boingo was a little edgy and a bit off the trodden path, but they've never been considered a punk band; neither did their fans consider themselves punk either... take it easy, it was the 80's... jeeze.

Totally true. I was a teen in the early 80s and I think the real difference between then and now is, back then I felt the music inspired me to be original and different and to express myself creatively. It had a strong sense of ironic humor and lots of interesting sounds. Now I hear music that's either hateful and negative or dumbed-down to a 3-grade level. Usually both, actually. Nowadays a band like Oingo Boingo or Wall of Voodoo being on a major label would be a laughable prospect.
