You’re right mark, doggie submission is never a good place to be. Devo came and did what they had to do, but the big record labels squeezed them dry like lemons. Despite that, Devo has changed my life and made it so much richer. Thank you Devo. Your struggle and sacrifice was not in vain.
The “jump the shark” album was New Traditionalists. I disliked “through being cool”, and “working in a coal-mine”. The album sounded different than even Freedom of Choice. I KNEW as a young man, and huge fan...that they’d changed. And they NEVER recaptured the sound, the angry-spud mentality...the first (3) albums embodied.
John Bandera No way....Beautiful world, Jerkin’ back and forth, Going under, Love without anger.....New Traditionalists was NOT jumping the shark. Same with Oh No.....Shout was jumping the shark.....
Mark's idea of the military industrial complex was way ahead of it's time. These guys had the right idea of what the New World Order's intent was all along. To De-evolve. To take away everything we've fought for like freedom of "eveything" not just choice.
that was cool! i wasn't expecting the songs at the end (even though the description says so) and to see them all lit up instead of in the dark was great! ya know, i saw them recently and i gotta admit, i never gave alan myers the respect as a good quality solid drummer until i saw josh freese (who does represent alan very well) playing with the group. since then, i've noticed how tight and almost drum machine like alan was. this video offers a rare glimpse at alan doing it well. rest in peace alan myers and bob 2.
I saw them live in 1978, 1979, 1981, 2006, 2007. And even though in 2006 and 2007 Josh was great, it was quite clear that the *heart* and *soul* of DEVO was Alan. His parts were genius, his energy limitless, his playing tight, tight, tight, and flawless in execution. His sound was powerful and punishing, especially the way he played and tuned his toms. Witness the actual *pummeling* he gives us in Wiggly World. And. I challenge *any drummer* to *successfully* pull off the drum parts, including the fills, to their cover of Satisfaction. That entire drum part is truly revolutionary thinking. He actually articulated the rhythm of *dissatisfaction* on the kit. DEVO did not need drum machines. They had Alan. For me, there was drumming in the "popular modern domain" before Alan, and then drumming after Alan. But no one has picked up where he left off. Thank you Alan.
It's the "Freedom of Choice intro" they used to play before Whip It in 80-82 shows, check out live performances of this era. I don't think they ever played the actual Freedom of Choice song live before the 00's.
the last song before it cuts out is Girl You Want. It goes, look at you and your mouth watering, look at you and your mind slaving, why dont you admit it‘s all over, just the girl you want.
It would be nice to have some artists as self-aware as Devo today, you know, expose a bit more of the big picture in pop culture, tired of the woke crap.
6:00 must have been a real downer, to be saddled with a "we built this city," style "best of," that you're NEVER gonna be able to shake. ..the who shook "my generation," zep got to perform minus "stairway," its just that DEVO never HAD a definitive hit before..
"They're are those who throw potatoes and there are those who eat potatoes"~ Mark of DEVO
Mark always had the coolest hair
Good-looking guy!
why is he so absolutely beautiful

these guys are amazing musicians ....... you can't deny that!
It's so bad the interview was interrupted, Mark was giving some profound responses.
His Crazy Eyes
Geeked up on D-E-V-O and the presence of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs!
Makes sense they'd be involved back when Church of the Sub-Genius had more point/subversiveness earlier on
That eye thing was from the Peekaboo video, I think. Or maybe one of the other videos for that album.
Part of his schtick
Cocaines a hell of a drug
The video's title sounds like a horror movie: "THE MARK OF DEVO!"
1:34 god he cracks me up
This is a terrific clip. Such a shame it was halted halfway through as Mark was saying quite a bit here.
best band ever
Smart Patrol in the back round hahaha
Cool interview and the bits of the Smart Patrol solo makes it even sweeter.
I saw Devo at the Warfield in San Francisco in 1982. Very impressed.
great quality. its like looking at a modern broadcast but with a postive message
thank you
Technology as a benevolent parasite! WOW.
It’s always a thrill to see any Devo video!
DEVO is real
The worst thing that happened to Devo was Alan Myers leaving.
after the jump-the-shark album.

You mean "shout" album?

WOW!!!!!!!! He was a geek before there were any.....sweet.!
Así es mi amigo. Todo solía ser auténtico en esos años 😊

I feel like that was very Of it's time
NWO=Communism...
I didn't think MM was cute back in the Day....but I do now!
thank you very much Alain, merci!
The coolest nerd of all time
brilliant
Thanks for uploading this man. I, too, would like to see Big Mess and other songs.

😍
Ah, Alan, while Josh is awesome, we miss you! Hope you are well out there!
thank you very much for the info.
His answers are all brilliant!!!! Even to the rather inane questions.
one of my favorite interviews
Quite candid.
Never should have let Alan go.
this is awkward
Had the lucky chance with friends all tripping on LSD
They were so excellent live!!
The greatest band ever

Sometimes I think Mr Mothersbaugh may have been a chameleon in a past life...
And what, sorry not enough input
He had the coolest glasses for that time period. No one wore those glasses in 1982!
Mark is our Leader. O B E Y
Haha. The union guy comes in and cuts the interview off. Ironic in a way.
There are also those who get the potatoes and turn them into perfectly cubed French fries
And also, please tell us there is more footage. Please, please.
greetings from the *future!
So many great bands and ideas have come out of Ohio.
Do you think Mark gradually got more and more normal from around 15 or 16 years old?
0:45
i could hear the riff from smart patrol lmao
omg
Wow, is that the EZ Listening version of Girl U Want... live ? Nice.
They actually used it originally for soundchecks only but too many people asked them for copies hehe.
The original song itself is ez listening
Thank fxxk you bothered to turn up Devo, valid contribution to music history
8.25 reel to reel. Wonder If thats for “Devo corporate anthem”.
@MadJohnEscapes yeehhh i was thinking the same thing..
You gotta remember these guys were 10 years out of college by then. They never sold out to become yupppies.
what's the song that they play after the interview?
the last song before it cuts out is Girl You Want. It goes, look at you and your mouth watering, look at you and your mind slaving, why dont you admit it‘s all over, just the girl you want.
When he said "the 3d", Mark got a real shit eating eye grin going on.
What does DEVO say about OWS? Can you say all their prophecies coming true?
Alan>Josh
any day, his drumming on the first album was especially sensational.
It would be nice to have some artists as self-aware as Devo today, you know, expose a bit more of the big picture in pop culture, tired of the woke crap.
DEVO always leaves a Mark
Tom Sachs? Is that you?
Mark looks juust a liiiiittle bit high here. Just a touch.
Maynard James Keenan
His eyes looks uncanny
Kind of freaky this guy is on Yo Gabba Gabba.
Crash bandicoot, Rugrats, etc...He basically did the soundtrack to my childhood
