The B-52's on SNL, January 26, 1980, their debut appearance You can see here an early example of guitarist Ricky Wilson's signature tuning and missing strings that helped give the B-52's their "quirky sound." Unfortunately, Ricky's death at the age of 32 due to complications from AIDS cut short what was promising to be an interesting career (a death that hit the band hard). If you want to see the set they did on SNL the entire episode is on the internet archives. 'Rock Lobster' starts at 24:19 and 'Dance This Mess Around' starts at 1:03:04. If you're into the B-52's, both performances are a great watch. You can hear the audience really into the band during 'Dance This Mess Around'. Enjoy.
