Yeah, I remember watching that live on TV, inspired me to go out and get the Freedom of Choice album even though I was way more into guitar-oriented music. They were just too insanely creative to not buy it.

Not a bad track on Freedom of Choice. The second song on this video is a favorite. Clearly explaining some of their thoughts on man, music and change. Fark New Wave. Devo was truly new wave....bordering more on punk if you ask me,at least in their thoughts and messages. Most bands considered new wave were keyboard oriented and wearing skinny ties but still playing pop love-ballads. Devo spoke with a new voice from a different direction about new thoughts. Through being cool? No way...just beginning.

Not only over-rated but also unlistenable crap.

That was a really great performance. It's interesting to recall how from-left-field they were at the time, and see how well the music has held up over time.

mfbaby is missing the 'taste' gene.

I love Devo.
Always have.

Just saw DEVO last night in Philly. They may be pushing 60, but they put on one hell of a show.

Seconded! Saw them Friday night in Boston, here are some pics I managed to get.

After 20 years of me being a huge fan, but them not coming to Boston, I was not disappointed in the slightest. And getting to see Tom Tom Club made it that much better.

I'm still amazed how influencial this band is after three decades.

I remember seeing this on tv. Devo made synth pop into synth rock! Heh, anyway got to admit they were pretty badass.

When a 30 year old music performance sounds fresher than anything
made in the last 5 years, you have problems as a society.
