More than another cozy, rock & roll evening under the Manhattan firmament, this breathless concert performance by the come-and-go Go-Go’s is long-awaited evidence of an essential band’s reawakened brilliance. Considering that in 2001 the Go-Go’s hadn’t released a new studio album for 17 years (a dry spell ending with God Bless the Go-Go’s, followed by a lengthy tour) or played together very much since 1990, the group’s vigorous appearance in Central Park proves all five original members haven’t lost a step. The authoritative punk roots and glossy, power-pop dreaminess are still seamlessly married, the full-gallop tempo is still halfway between the Marvelettes and the Ramones, and the band’s aggregate personality is still dangerously adorable. Highlights include new songs “Stuck in My Car” and “Unforgiven,” and the golden oldies dip substantially into the Go-Go’s canon of hits. The DVD’s extras are well worth a visit, especially a funny, fly-on-the-wall piece shot in the band’s van. –Tom Keogh
