The B-52’s formed in Athens, Georgia in 1976 and were soon playing the likes of CBGBs and Maxs Kansas City over what then would have been the land of the crooner in Las Vegas.
1970s Vegas was still the domain of Elvis, Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
B-52’s singer Fred Schneider is 71 now and Kate Pierson is 74. In 1976 when The B-52’s started, Sinatra was 63.
The Las Vegas residency is part of The B-52’s Farewell Tour.
