It's amazing,it's 2021,I'm 67,I remember getting Devos first album in the 70s.I thought they were just some novelty band that wouldn't stand the test of time.I didn't really start realizing these guys were very good and intelligent till 4 years ago.Ive listened to their music for the first time and really like most of it.
what a boomer. I very almost almost shut down the Siouxsie and the Banshees gig at the first WOMAD festival by climbing way up into the stage rigging when I was 5 and lost my mother for nearly 2 days. happy times. would kill to be at this DEVO gig.
I remember them as the weird underrated group that was out there at that time. Yet, as time went by they seem to have prevailed and come to their own unique way to become an iconic band. God bless DEVO.
Man, just think about 1977 New York. On one weekend, you could catch the Ramones, Talking Heads, Devo, and Patti Smith, all in the company of no more than 75 other people.
@@oswing They don't exist and won't ever in this timeline. If they did, in the future, then we would have seen a bunch of oddly dressed, old, tourists in the back of our shows. We didnt.. Thus no time machine.
@@sammencia7945 I know, how sad... But then I was 15 and living in Belgium ... no chance. But I saw Joy Division in 1979 and their very first concert out of the UK ! and Wire, The Fall etc...
@@oswing How fantastic for you! I knew of Joy Divisions North Anerica tour and planned to go up to NYC from VA to see it. Did manage to see Wire in 86 and 2001. Walked in as Reuters roared to life. They played many tunes from PF that tour.
@@JackFromBeatStrings Most of the live shows were at a faster tempo too!! Although Whip It is the same beat (with an occasional " (3e) & a 4 & " for the fill), the wrists do get a little tired.
They played a lot of shows in the Akron Oh area, at the campus clubs..that's where they really polished their act,.. They probably did play Kent campus often but they owned Akron, ruled it.. I snuck in to a show in '75 or '76, too long ago to remember exactly. I was 13 or 14, what a night. While playing Boogie Boy or Boogie Baby, wow so many yrs gone by, can't remember the title. Baby mask on face, singer went thru crowd w/bag collecting money donations, hilarious.
I didn't see them until 1980 at Macky auditorium. At lot of people thought they just a had a quirly style vis a vis the Satisfaction song, but obviously these guys wer real rockers big time
...like watching something from another planet, oh yeah Planet devo in the same constellation as Planet Claire. split my eardrums to this in 1980, never heard things same since. out.
This really does look like from '53. Gut feelin' That's about the second half of this video. Message to your movement really gets my goat. Rotten to the core. This video is digable and it's wowable like Malibu in '65.
+K O'Sumthin Like early Tacoma bands Faster Pussycat & Supersonics, there was a single mic on the entire drum set. One of the inspirations for Kurt and Nirvana.
@@victorialarsen6135 Gladly! You may have heard of Bing Crosby? :-) He was born at 1112 North J St. in 1903 in a house his father built. I wonder if it's still there? The Wailers started in 1959 and attended Stadium HS. The Sonics, as mentioned, inspired many later bands. Fun fact: the guy playing the screaming sax in "Have Love, Will Travel" left the band to get his commission in the US Air Force in 1967 and flew combat sorties over Vietnam. Nirvana played their first big gigs at 5441 South M St. Which is also where they finally settled in that name. That's just a quick summary. What do you think of your hometown now? :-D
and not to mention, the GREATEST HIP-HOP ever produced. until the you know hew(media powers) KILLED it........ hew wants ALL the people getting together and truly enjoying themselves..
Imagine taking 4k video of a concert today and watching it 50 years later and noticing the similarity in the difference of quality between this video and videos made in 2021.
Before Smooth Noodles and that shit. They were a definite musical force to reckon with in the US punk scene. I'm talking the 70s not 2000 era emo. Some very original ideas that inspired many.
4 months after winning at the Ann Arbor Film Festival. That got Bowie and Iggy interested. Bowie couldn't get out of a prior committment so Eno produced the lp at Bowie's suggestion. Imagine that you are SO good that Eno is your "safety" producer.
One of my favorite DEVO Song's. any guitar players notice, Guns and roses One in a Million is The same chord progression Exactly.A little trivia there as if one even compares to the other. IMO anyway.

Red Vinyl …. ❤ special edition
@@davidsally_pizzatony I got the "Marble Vinyl" Edition of Q: Are we not men? A: We are DEVO! Mark is 1000% artist
Left School in 1976. I went from geek to freak in 1977.
Devo, Blondie, Sex Pistols, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury & The Clash.
All in one Year

left school in 1980. 4 years too late, eternal regrets....
crazy how things change and stay the same
Gut Feeling is incredible. Fantastic energy.
What surprised me about their live vs. studio performances is that they are so rock and roll - live.

35 other people and 16 were from those bands you listed.
Blondie were def there.

Devo was right, this world has de-evolved so much.
***** be quiet eurotard, no one asked you
***** I guess I wouldn't expect much of a reply from a brain dead eurotard.....get a life.
***** Hey genius, mongoloids are not a race.
***** Devo was referring to mongolism as in the genetic disorder.
Yep look at donald trump.
Probably the best punk bass riff ever! He brought home the bacon so no one knew...
The most interesting group ever
Drummer is killing! Great piece of history. Thx.
Alan Myer was a monster! Better tempo than most drum machines. RIP
@@JackFromBeatStrings Most of the live shows were at a faster tempo too!! Although Whip It is the same beat (with an occasional " (3e) & a 4 & " for the fill), the wrists do get a little tired.
That drumming is something else. WOW!
I love the way the tape cuts off at the end, it makes a cool sound. The video seems as if though it's a buggy transmission sent from a strange world.
floydian1 He he, great observation, I totally agree. Devo in crystal clear hi-def doesn't seem quite right...
+floydian1 Or it's tragic that it cuts off so we don't see what happens next
+Gluemonkey Also true.
Copied from an old VHS or Betamax tape probably!
I love that they are from Idaho.
8 years after Woodstock, things were changing quickly in those days, you didn't really get bored ......
It turns out that Devo was way ahead of their time way before people found out they were way ahead of their time.
I LOVE DEVO !!!!!!! SO AMAZING AND "MODERN"!!!!!
shit this good makes me wanna cry
It really gets my goat.
I’m crying

At Max's the ceiling tiles were suspended and when everybody jumped up and down, the tiles did too.
...good tid-bit
Charlie, did you live on the So. side of 13th St. off Ave. A in like, 1979-ish...?
What a breath of fresh air when they appeared!
DEVO knows the score.
This is legendary. Thx for sharing.
Wow thanks for posting! I never knew about this song from Devo. I only knew them from the Uber-douchy “Whip it”. Nice to know they didn’t always suck.
Wow, rare footage indeed! Do you know if there is more like this? There were so many great bands that played Max's and CBGB's back in the day....
I listen devo from 1981 when I'm 13. and theyr music still fresh!
I didn't see them until 1980 at Macky auditorium.
At lot of people thought they just a had a quirly style vis a vis the Satisfaction song, but obviously these guys wer real rockers big time
ohhh man i would pay lots of money to watch full performances from this period. i want secret agent man on don kirshner's rock concert back!!!
This is different than the other live version from Max's. Apparently more than one show was recorded. Great stuff.
I saw them play in London in 77, then missed the last train home !
Dang, the best transition ever was cut off at the end.
...like watching something from another planet, oh yeah Planet devo in the same constellation as Planet Claire. split my eardrums to this in 1980, never heard things same since. out.
They have a certain, I don't know what.
thank you
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Devo and Brendan R. all in one lifetime!!!
Pure quality. :)
Definitely better, the earlier you can find their videos, live. Rockin' raw.
This really does look like from '53. Gut feelin' That's about the second half of this video.
Message to your movement really gets my goat. Rotten to the core. This video is digable
and it's wowable like Malibu in '65.
They were a local band back then, excellent chance I was there.
super g00d!
That was brilliant! *applauds*
Yes, even Devo themselves are surprised how right they turned out to be about de-evolution.
Awesome video.
History in the making!
great stuff :)
little young spuds...awesome
Small clubs, new bands trying out their material, wow.
NASA should transmit this into space so some alien life form can find it and watch some day.
Hell yeah!!! 👍👍
Love this band!
It's astounding to me that they were so young, but so advanced. I was only 11!
Its a wiggly world, but devo is in there solid, solid state .
The ending is so great
Great time of music!!
Still you can't exactly say that DEVO sold out. There's been loads of people I've had to introduce to them, and which I am still introducing to.
Window Pane Of The Gods - The Infinite Circuit Of The Devo Perspective
Reel to Reel Old School Video Cam System no doubt. We had one of these in our class in middle school.. around the same time.
This before they made it big and could affort custom red flower pots to wear on their heads
can I also mention---as most of us know this came out of the heart of America---------
oh, yeah, so very young. Did Mark's voice crack at 6:34?
Effing brilliant !
Gods from the future, if you disagree, I bet you never passed history class
got connotations of that other great American band ......MONKS !!!!!!
It is a funny story about how Brian Eno produced their album, but what a fine match.
Q: Are we not Zen ?
A: We are Bevo.
this was at max's Kansas city, one word comes to mind when I remember max's
cocaine.
Timeless music! Who knew!
Devo is the best Punk Band ever....
This is a decently hardass b&w broadcast teeve video. The audio is fine but the teevee feed on this
looks like it came outta '53 or so. Fine with me.
ffucking ffantastic !
this song so true.
The drummer kicks maximum butt.
bless the technologie of the 70s
looks like this was shot with Pixelvision. interesting visuals
I love looking at the audience. We were still afraid to cut our hair in the '70's lol
As cliche as "I was born in the wrong era" wining is that sounds fucking amazing
FUCK YEAH !!
Brilliant...!! Where are these from?

mmm dubbleplus good!
Ahead.
Q:Is Devo done?
A:UPDATE - DEVO lives! Live concert 2014!
I have a ticket to go to the Chicago-area show. I can't wait, as it's all music from the early-era Devo.
Lucky Spud! Have fun! I wonder if this will be the final tour. I know they want to raise some money for Bob Casale's family.
@@itsclay7379 No they just played last night in New York and celebrated Mark's 72nd birthday and he said that Devo will be here for another 50 years.
