Heatwave Festival, Mosport Park, Bowmanville, Canada, 8-23-1980, Part 4: The B-52's

Part 4 of the 1980 Heatwave Festival is a set by the B-52's.

The B-52's made a big splash with their 1979 debut album, "The B-52's." They followed that in 1980 with the album "Wild Planet." That was released at the end of August, a month after this concert. But in fact the band had been playing most of the songs from "Wild Planet" in concert even before the release of their debut album. So this is a mix of songs from both albums.

There is one official album that is from a similar time period, "Live! 8.24.1979." It wasn't released until 2015, but as you can guess, it's from 1979. That's a pretty short album though, less than 40 minutes long. This sounds just as good and has five more songs.

Although unreleased, this was professionally recorded and sounds great. There were no problems.

This album is 58 minutes long.
