The Go-Gos Rock The Seattle Zoo

It's been 30 years since it's megahit, Beauty And The Beat, and they have a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, but LA "girl band" The Go-Gos burst into the Woodland Park Zoo tonight like they had stepped out of a "time machine". Lead singer Belinda Carlile, looked young, fresh, and had a charisma that engulfed the the entire  concert area,  not an easy task as the meadow area of the zoo is flat and many picnic on the grounds.  An audience of all ages was standing, dancing,clapping, and singing (above picture) as the group played their hits, "We Got The Beat", "Vacation",  "Our Lips Are Sealed" as well as covers like the Rolling Stone's "Mother's Little Helper" and "Cool Jerk". 
The warm up band was San Antonio, TX based "Girl In A Coma" , another all girl group that played angst ridden rock to mixed reviews from the crowd.
