The Go Go’s Farewell Tour

Go Go's with Ruchel Freibrun popbuff blogger
When I heard the Go Go’s were going to rock in Orange County at the Segerstrom Center of the Arts, I didn’t waste any time and bought the ticket right away. In fact, I bought the VIP ticket. I was like… if it’s true that this is their Farewell Tour then I gotta have a photo op with them. And sure enough, with other fans, we were brought to an exclusive hall way to see and pose with the iconic 80’s all girl band. It was surreal to sit beside Belinda Carlisle and the rest of the group.
I’ve seen the Go Go’s a lot of times but this was the highlight of my 80’s obsession. After the photo op, I went straight to my seat and naturally, it was fun to see ladies my age on their 80’s get up.

The group opened with “Vacation” and in between they performed their punk rock tunes. But it’s always a tradition for them to invite audience to join them when they sing “Cool Jerk”. I just wished I was in the pit to dance on stage. Sandi, a superfan of The Go Go’s who has been to almost every Go Go’s concert was invited to dance on stage. She remarked, “I had a ball at the concert and got to dance on stage! It was definitely a dream come true!” She added “I’ve seen them live too many times to count, I was there when they got their star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, when they got inducted into the Hollywood Bowl hall of fame and at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. I am sad to see them go, but so grateful for all the memories!”

It was indeed a memorable event for everybody. When you watch them, it just transports you to the golden rock age of the 80’s when life was simple and fun and music ruled my life.
