From their halcyon days as America's sweethearts to their current status as superstars who pioneered a genre, The Go-Go’s preside over an amazing three-decade reign as high pop priestesses. The internationally-loved pop hitmakers helped cement the foundation of the early 80's pop-rock sound without the aid of outside composers, session players or, most importantly, creative compromise. From their very first show, The Go-Go's sang and played their own songs, offering five feisty role models for a generation of ready-to-rock girls and good, hooky fun for pop-loving guys. Nothing But Videos celebrates The Go-Go's with a special episode highlighting some of the band’s most iconic hits including “We Got The Beat”, “Our Lips Are Sealed” and their newest single “Club Zero”.
“We wanted to end up where we started,” said Charlotte Caffey, and what she meant was Los Angeles. That’s the city in which Caffey and her bandmates formed the Go-Go’s in 1978, and it’s the place they returned Tuesday night for the final show of a month-long farewell tour at The Greek. True to the economical spirit of the music, the Go-Go’s didn’t drag out this goodbye with long speeches or a corny video montage. From the band’s opener, “Vacation,” to its closer, “Head Over Heels,” it was onstage for less than 90 minutes — and that included two encores.
