I was collecting points on Roq Of The 80s Army (KROQ's HD2/web "Roq of the 80's"
station) when low and behold today's trivia question is about The Go'Go's:
I think I know it but couldn't confirm it from the web. Anyone know the answer? |

???? They had more time off in 1983 ????
Few tour dates, more gaps in the schedules. More events were documented in 81,82, and 84. But really, the whole event including travel took at least a short amount of 3 days. Unless someone remembers being there, whose to say when it happened. I do not remember hearing about this show date. Maybe whoever wrote the question got the Go Go's confused with some other 80s band. |

I saw that too. I had to do some heavy Googling myself, but according to this 1982 is correct (July to be exact), and KROQ gave me the trivia points for it.
http://bc.barnard.columbia.edu/~andrew/gogos/concert.html I don't remember that contest either, but I was 11 then so it's not like I would have been able to enter and win anyway. |

I don't remember this event either; I wasn't 11, I was 17, and I had just started listing to KROQ around then and didn't see my first GGs show
until 1984.
Since I couldn't find any reference to this on the web and Vacation was high on their 106.7 list in 1983 I went with that, but according the web site '1982' was the correct answer; good job Melissa, it never even donned on me to look for a concert schedule! But their trivia questions have been incorrect in the past. Two times that I know of: once they had a question about Kate Pierson of The B-52's and their 'correct' answer was "'The Go-Go's", the other one's answer was 'Burt Bacharach' according to Wiki, but not them! BTW: I love the Roq if the 80's station! It is just like it was in the early 80's, they even use the same station IDs and drop-ins, Fredrick J. Snakeskin even does current announcements, the only thing missing are episodes of the nu-nu-nu-neeeew detective! Now I just need to get a HD tuner in my car so I can listen to it on the go!

Holy crap! I just looked at the link of their tour! That was one helluva gruelling schedule! No wonder they burnt out fast! I wonder why Rockin' In Rio
isn't listed in the schedule.

I was at one one the Acoustic dates -- December 19 in St. Louis. They didn't end up doing an acoustic show though. At the start of the concert Belinda
said they felt like rocking out, and that is exactly what they did!

I forgot to mention that they did that St. Louis acoustic show with several other bands. I think the other bands were Greg Lake (from Emerson, Lake and
Palmer), All 4 One (whatever happened to them, anyway?) and Dead Eye Dick (one hit wonders, I believe).

Yeah I thought the same thing, just looking at it made me tired. We could use another Hawaii show though, I'd go! And Kathy WAS talking about going there on her Twitter page...

Give em some credit for at least listing the dates for posterities sake. But you guys are right there are a few mistakes here and there on that list. I know
from my own experience asa Go go's follower that the girls have played Philly only once that was during the Vacation world tour on 10/13.I still kick
myself for not discovering them a year earlier. I missed out on the infamous visit to Tower records. CE'La Vie. Later, MP:>)

He's given up amateur porn for being a 9/11 "truther" trying to spread the word that the planes that hit the Twin Towers were a CGI hoax. I think
I preferred the porn.

It wasn't a picture. It was a video posted on his website.
