Description
The B-52's band is captured mid-performance on a large indoor stage. There are four visible performers: two women dancing and singing into microphones at the front, one of whom is wearing a dark dress and hat, namely Cindy Wilson. Another woman in a sequined outfit, Kate Pierson, is mid-motion near the center. A guitarist plays beside them, and a person on the right holds a microphone, also in motion. The image shows blurred motion from the performers' movements. Stage lights shine down from above, and musical equipment such as conga drums, amplifiers, and cables are visible on the stage.
