Go-Back

The Go-Backs are a tribe of elves in the comic series Elfquest. They named themselves from their goal to return to the Palace of the High Ones. They are hunters (probably gatherers, too) and, above all, warriors. Most of them care neither for the past nor for the future. They are the only known tribe that scorns magic - especially healing magic, since knowing that a healer is around makes warriors 'soft'. Their most notable tradition is dancing for their death.

In the series Kahvi it is revealed that the Go-Backs were originally a splinter group of the Wolfriders, who had lost their wolf blood "because of Willowgreen's trickery." What exactly that looked like, or how exactly the Go-Backs became stag-riders and searchers for the palace, are yet untold stories. (A prose story about the healer Willowgreen and her "trickery" was to appear in the book "Hunter's Dawn" in the mid-1990s, but that volume was repeatedly delayed, then canceled.)

When the Go-Backs tried to return to the Palace, they were stopped by the Ice Trolls, who assumed that once the elves were reinstalled in the Palace they would enslave the trolls as their ancestors had. War ensued between the two groups and was underway when the Go-Backs rescued the Wolfriders and forged an alliance with them.

Go Back

Go Back is the first live album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs, and the only one that has not been linked to MTV. It was recorded at the 1988 Montreux Jazz Festival. The band was introduced as: "Titãs, the best Brazilian rock band, welcome to Montreaux, Titãs!" by the presenter of the festival, as can be heard on the very beginning of the first track.

Go Back (song)

"Go Back" is a single by Titãs, released in 1984. After not reaching success, Titãs released in 1988 a live and a remix versions as singles, both extracted from the album Go Back (ao vivo). These achieved moderate success.

A music video, based in an edited version of the 1988 remix, was recorded and exhibited massively in television. It shows the eight members of the band in daily situations, and children in a park. It counts 3:45 and was directed by Jodele Larcher and Branco Mello.

In 1997, it was released in the album Acústico MTV in Spanish, featuring Fito Páez.

In 2010, Titãs rerecorded the song once more, with production by Rick Bonadio, counting 4'00". This version was released in the soundtrack CD 1 to the Rede Globo's telenovela Ti Ti Ti (2010).
