Go Go Live at the Capital Centre was a concert performance by various prominent go-go bands and hip-hop artists based in the Washington metropolitan area.[6][7][8] It was recorded live in October 1987[1] at the Capital Centre (a defunct indoor arena in Landover, Maryland). The double–cassette was released by "I Hear Ya Records" on December 18, 1987, and the video recording was released on VHS-tape by "G Street Express" on the same day.[4]
The concert was a sold-out event with over 24,000 concert-goers in attendance. This concert also marked the first time an all go-go lineup exclusively headlined an event at the Capital Center.[1][4][6][7][9]
