This had always been one of may favorite songs of theirs. Always played at the end of their concerts.

Had a quick kiss from Sam the Trumpet Player back in the good ol' days of the 80's!

I was there what a day I have the lyric sheet from the stage

Fantastic. The band is flawless as usual, and the majority of the crowd appears to be straight out of the hardcore/punk scene of the time. And it makes sense why Oingo's earlier music attracted these moshing punk kids; there was definitely a "punk" edge to their music with plenty of the songs being fast paced, angry, distorted and loud... not to mention the lyrics in Only A Lad. Elfman & the band RULE!

Memento Mori

Am I the only one that got somewhat excited when Danny was going for a bit of fast strumming?

Sue Willoughby

In Hawthorne Calif. We went to the movies and watched this on the so called big screen out of all the bands , Oingo Boingo was the best Hector H.

Saw them a few times at CSUN, and Magic Mountain back in the day. Hey...isn't that the karate kid at 1:27 LOL! Miss these days.

It's flat out impossible to sit still during this song. *Joins the crowd of people who were not yet alive when this took place and who missed out on WAY too much good stuff*

I saw them twice - what I'd give to go back and see those concerts again, I don't think I really realized how amazing they were.

This was 1980/1981.

@butteredpoopcorn - Definitely not 1985, since Kerry Hatch is playing bass (he was replaced by John Avila in 1984), and as iaozaizao noted, the drummer does not look like Vatos (I can't find any decent photos of David Eagle to compare)

This is awesome! Caught at the peak of their talent together as a band. This is epic Post-Punk...
