Power-pop nerd-wave act Oingo Boingo called it quits in 1995 and recorded their 3 hour plus Farewell concert for DVD & CD.
Starting out with a bit from Boingo's Forbidden Zone days, it's apparent we're in for a detailed career retrospective. The performance is a high-octane joy to watch, with giant skeleton marionettes, evil clowns playing percussion and a bizarre array of instruments the band created themselves. The costumed audience is just as fun to watch, making it seem like a devil's carnival show meshed with Revenge Of The Nerds moshing on amphetamines. The show goes uninterrupted, with some juicy little bonus features depicting the before & after moments back stage as well as a brief history of the band. It's a must have for any fan of the cult classic music act.
