I guess Mark Mothersbaugh wasn't a smoker. His voice sounds pretty much the same as 30 years ago. These guys are tight as hell, and still raise a ruckus.
Humans in general keep making embarrassing returns as poopie babies. Birth and death and forgetting in-between so they keep making the same mistakes it sucks. Glad we have an information society so these sad Boojie Boys can finally grow up and think. Thanks. ❤ Also, DEVO ❤❤❤❤❤!!
saw these guys in concert in Melbourne for a day o the green. Always been a great fan, but until you see them live you dont appreciate how great a ROCK band they are!!! They blew simple minds off the stage!!
+Colin Deno I saw them at the Auckland Day On The Green, and I agree, they were absolutely amazing! Such a great gig with the Church, Devo and Simple Minds - and I had just seen Morrissey live for the first time the night before! What a weekend!
Saw them about 3 or 4 years ago in Boston. Loved the show, but really couldn't believe how magnificent and powerful Gates of Steel sounded live. You had to hear it, soundman was really good, too. I was raving about it to friends. The power had a lot to do with the drummer, but all were really good.
THANK YOU, EXCELLENT LIVE DEVO PERFORMANCE!! I first heard them in 1978 (long b4 MTV even existed kiddies!) I was 12yrs old and wore out my DEVO cassettes after obsessive listening. I love their originality, unique style, 100% commitment to their theatrical presentation, and omg the music and lyrics of DEVO never fail to impress, all instant classics! I just turned 50 and they STILL ROCK!
Great song ! RIP Bob2 . Sad to see bands of my youth getting older and members passing away. Great memories though and these guys kept going and sounding good.
I so miss the days before Ritalin rock. Bands like DEVO just move me to a higher plane. When these bands fade away there'll be little left except for the videos. Thanks for the upload.
I saw DEVO four times from 2012 to 2014. I have seen so many shows from Radiohead, Soundgarden to Iron Maiden and DEVO always gives a rocking show! They are all classically trained musicians and give a flawless performance without the filler crap between songs. During an early 1980s interview on Letterman Mark and Jerry discussed how they don't interact with the audience much and introduce songs with dragged-out intros like, "This next song is about a girl I met in Latrobe, Pennsylvania". Letterman asked why not? Mark, jumped in, "They would resent us."
🤓 well , I saw devo a bunch of times . . . and i still have both my arms ! N.Y.C. : '78 , '79 , '80 and , yes , the were one of the best bands ever !!! beyond description
The most underrated band ever.
They've never ever been underrated! 😂
DEVO FUCKING RULES!!!
One of the greatest rock and roll songs ever.
i think so too
Yup! It sure is!
Their best song. By far. Live it's the best😊
Yeah, this has always been an incredible banger!
I heard this song on American Bandstand in 82. Great tune
I guess Mark Mothersbaugh wasn't a smoker. His voice sounds pretty much the same as 30 years ago. These guys are tight as hell, and still raise a ruckus.
I was thinking exactly the same. If I close my eyes, I can see a young Mark singing.
he can barely sing in this video, looks badly winded from walking from his keyboard to the front of the stage.
@@carljung9230 nah.
@@carljung9230 haha. He’s 63 here. I’m impressed
@@carljung9230 I’ve used in to see how you go behind the keyboards dude then lining up to sing during a 90 minute gig
Hate to see old bands trying to make a sad and embarrassing return but these guys still got it. WE ARE DEVO
Aww dad, we're ALL DEVO!
These guys never came close to losing it.
They totally predicted the advent of Idiocracy.

“Half a goon and half a god”. Love that line. Amazing how they are rocking this song hard after so many years.
That line always stuck out to me too. Perfectly summarizes man.
Mark still sings great at that age! Love ya Devo!!
This song live absolutely shredded me.
The sound recording is quite impressive and he hasn't lost his voice. Awesome.
One of the most underrated bands. It's sad that the only song most people know of, is "Whip It".
Yer , but I have a little chuckle to myself cause most people know shit Devo rule
Sounds great.
Fantastic performance!
Thanks for watching!
thanks to AL JOUGENSEN I LOVE YOU DEVO PLEAASE PLLLEEASE KEEP TOURING SO I CAN SEE YOU LIVE BEFORE I TURN TO DUST TY

They will always be WAY ahead of their time...no matter what time.
Tonight, this my favourite DEVO creation!!
I saw Devo at the 2010 San Diego Gay pride Festival in Balboa Park. That was a fantastic show!
When I was a kid I first heard this and I was blown away all my kids records trash I was a student boy for life

Back to the tail ofthe tales. Now bounce. Bounces

ICON
I've always loved this song from when I first bought Freedom of Choice back in the early 80's.
pretty great performance
Wish they would tour London again
Love this song! This was their best one in my opinion! I bet if it got some air time today it would take off!
this is an anthem when I first heard it 1980 I was 11 and I found musically biss
Sounding Incredible....awesome!!

Mark Mothersbaugh a giant in music and the arts. Always draws a nice potato
Agreed. He excels at both, leokimvideo.
