- Devo played "Gut Feeling -Slap your Mammy" in July 1977 in live, here it was in NYC at Max's.
(very first time of this song live was at the Crypt)
With long intro, fast tempo,
Alan Myers aka "human metronom" ! RIP,
Mark with black glasses !
Bob1 with his first LaBaye Guitar...
Bob2 RIP (can't imagine this song played without him now)
bad quality video from old VHS cassette... but rare .
Enjoy Spuds. !
This is why UA-cam exists. Where else would you be able to see this?
In your head after eating 'shrooms in the forest?
Originally yes. Then it was bought out...
It's Punk, it's Surf, it's geek... Fantastic.
It's PuRFeek
@@repairdepartment5918one word poem. Nice
There definitely is a surf element to some of their songs!
It's art.
The future still hasn't caught up with Devo.
It won't, because the future is devolving
After all these years of assuming that they were a mostly-techno band, I honestly believe that Devo is, first and foremost, one of the best punk bands ever to come straight outta Akron, OH. RIP Bob Casale. #Devo
I suspect you've hit the nail on the head. Remember they started as through making a film about a band at art school rather than being musicians.
Damn ass straight
Sorry but if you've ever thought of DEVO as a techno outfit shows you're lack of understanding of what techno is? They were always more in line with the punk and new wave movements.
Jacques Dray oh no bro. bob done kicked the bucket? - That's the most tragical news in modern history!
Without a doubt. The way they rebelled agains, it at least pointed out, the shallowness of much of the values for the baby boomer/flower power generation is very much in the punk, post-punk or hardcore ethos
The intro to this song can NEVER be too long!
Devo is criminally underrated.
Awww, DAD. We're ALL DEVO!
Not any more!!!! Obsessed with this band r n
53 likes no dislikes.
Not by me, Frankie Moz. I still love this.
Devo real good. U feel better?
I seriously get shivers every time I watch this. Probably my all-time favorite Devo song, with an extra long intro, and such emotion in the performance. For people who really GET how awesome Devo was/is, this was a pivotal moment.
One of the raddest early U.S. punk artifacts. This version gets so wild and intense it almost makes the Dead Boys sound tame....DEVO during this period were so off the hook, so badass, it's absurd...
This song is one of the best build ups ever.
The absolute best! Second place...Free Bird.
Agreed
Truth
I agree, but I feel compelled to mention WHITE RABBIT, and Cinderella’s big score(sonic youth)
It's diametrically perfect. The vocals come in at exactly the mid point of the song.
Im only 18 but this is easily one of my favorite songs ever. The personality in the singing, the catchy guitar, their whole aesthetic, they’re incomparable.
@@rickprice893I'm 17 and have been a fan since I was 12/13. been really happy to see that Devo has influenced newer bands I love like The Coneheads and Uranium Club.
You got great taste, Kid!!
At 23 I hope you still got it on your hit list the album one
When I liked this video I said "better late than never"...
This is FABULOUS!! Makes me feel 14yrs old again!!
If they ever invent time travel. I know where I'm going.
+flyingmerkel6 DEVO did indeed invent time travel...Pretty sure potatoes are at least 40% of the equation. I was only two earth years of age at the time of this recording...yet...here I am...in the future.
+flyingmerkel6, me too, me too!! :)
flyingmerkel6 devo is from the future bro... duh
You got me. However, we're now living in the future- and it sucketh greatly.
Devo was fucking right.
Thousands of great drummers but only one Alan Myers. RIP Alan and Bob. Devo was truly meant to be.
He was the spiraling tension of every arrangement. Insane build up and crescendos. A master.
Saw them live in 1979. Speaking as a drummer, I don't think I have ever seen a tighter band. Man, they were playing some really hard stuff...and they nailed it like it was nothing. And jumped around with funny hats on too...
my 5 year old son loves DEVO! It's one of the only bands he knows the name of.
This genuinely awe inspiring. A bunch of teenage art students unleashing their raw fucking talent
MMothersbaugh- 27 yrs old in '77, check the rest of the ages. Sorry it took me 4 years to comment.
@@Tinyhall1 really? They were at uni during the kent state massacre. Which I just checked was in 1970. So MM was 20. Which makes sense. Wrote this comment when I was 19. Think I needed to see myself in them then. Barrelling into my mid 20s now, your reply is actually quite heartening. Thanks for responding
@@Neuroticmancer there is still time for your Max's debut my brother hope it is going well
@@Neuroticmancer Grad school.
by the time Whip It came out in 1980, the band was well into their 30s.
This is chaos made into order and art. Nothing done today can match it.
Watching this on a crappy VHS tape is absolutely perfect. Raw gold.
Now it's a digital filter.
This wasn’t shot on VHS - it wasn’t invented yet. Most likely a Sony portable open tape system with separate camera and recorder. A friend’s Father had one.
@@johnspooner1403 In the description it says "bad quality video from old VHS cassette... but rare" Sounds like the original was transferred to VHS at some point.
Analog reel to reel video.
Nothing crappy about VHS, I was there, even had Betamax. Analogue is real. Digital is subjective to 'correction'.
I was 14 and immortal, and look now - I'm still alive.
What a time to be living when punk music was around and bands like this existed. It made you feel alive.
Now we have hip-hop. Dreary, dreary hip-hop.
@@OnlyEdandTheAlmost hey I mean, not all hip hop is like that, the stuff from up to the early 90's sure as hell wasn't dreary, most modern rap "music" is godawful though.
It was an incredible time, I cherish the late 70s early 80s punk. Fortunately I went to a few very early Devo shows. Iconic!
I worked on the Dean Stockwell movie Human Highway in 1982. Devo with Neil Young, some videos are on UA-cam. I got to spend hours with Devo for over a month during that time. They got to know my friend Bruce Conner who made his own video for the song Mongoloid also on UA-cam. Bruce made movies with scrap 35mm movie film. Devo loved Bruce.
I was from San Francisco, my good friends were the Avengers, Mutants and I knew the DKs too.. Three of the best bands from SF. So many more
. Those years at the Mabuhay Gardens and after hours at TargetVideo in the Mission district were some of the best years of my life.
RIP Dirk Dirkson.!!
Target Video, Joe Rees....,Iconic stuff!
Many of his videos are on UA-cam.
And there was always somebody rolling thru town, and you could see 'em in a dirty, sweaty, smoke filled bar for a 3 dollar cover!
God I hope this stuff is still around a thousand years from now so people will know what mankind is capable of.
it is then they will surely understand what human DEVO really means
I saw them Sheffield UK 1978. Still recovering. Mind Blown!!! FOREVER!!!!
Wow... what a difference a year makes..... I saw them in 78 at Sheffield Civic Hall UK and they played their album perfectly...and with the yellow boiler suits... And made a major impact on my life eversince.......
Fucking incredible. The most underrated American rock band ever!
This is a piece of history. The scratchy black and white film just adds to to the feeling. Slap your baby down again.
GREAT, BLACK AND WHITE, GREAT SOUNDS FROM DEVO, SAW THEM LIVE IN 1979 IN GLASGOW.
AWESOME!
melodiantime
Am I the only one who hums...duh duh duh dum at the end?
Every time I see this it makes me think Devo were the best US 'punk' band ever.
Ah come back Jonee.
melodiantime Where? The Apollo was probably too big. Got a gut feeling that it was a Sauchiehall Street venue.
The world needed Devo.
This is my favorite Devo song. Imagine tripping and speeding in Radio City Music Hall in the 80s losing your mind dancing and jumping and singing through this song. That was me
Ahhh 70’s fun my brain and ears rerun . Devo thanks for bringing it .
Between the 1:04 step up on the crescendo , or the 1:30 grip switch on the drum sticks, or the way Alan Meyer's has the cymbals swaying @ 2:18 this is the greatest build up I have see lol
Love the way Alan Myers switches effortlessly from a jazz grip to a regular at 1:27.
Yeah, It's seamless.
Is that a difficult maneuver? I never played drums.
It's not difficult when it's natural, but even today it's natural for no one
THE HUMAN METRONOME.
Wow, you're right. One second he's playing w/standard grip, next sec he has matched grip...that's slick.
Mothersbaugh. What a great front man, what a great live band. By the time I saw them live (1980) their live act was truly performance art.
Kudos to the guys who filmed this. Cameras in 1977 were large and heavy, and needed a separate recorder for on-location shooting; a two-person job. Camcorders weren't invented until 1983.
This looks like Super 8, which was a bit more compact, though expensive to develop in color. Thus black and white here. Black and white could be developed in a home lab rather than requiring expensive commercial processing.
@@TheEricleegreen No, this isn't Super 8; that is not a film image. It almost certainly was recorded using a Sony Portapak, - an open reel videotape machine, one version of which came with a battery pack. Lots of artists (including Nam June Paik and Max's regular Andy Warhol) and public access stations used Portapak machines. There's a surprisingly amount of footage from them on UA-cam, including much of a show by Bette Midler at the Continental Baths. I hope this footage has been preserved and cleaned up as much as possible.
My guess is this was shot on a 1/2” VHS Panasonic Camcorder. The audio sounds pretty good. Thanks for sharing this rare footage.
@@brainworthy the first camcorders were available in 83 ish? This is 77?
The Sheeple think Devo is Whip It. they'll never know. Mr Kamikaze Me Dna , Blockhead. she's just a girl Beautiful World etc etc. And I ask as they askex Are we not men?
SO original, so punk, so nerdy, so cool so DEVO.
One of the best songs EVER
Devo is way under estimated. The musicality is amazing. One of the all time best bands on the planet.
Amazing from day one
Yes it was
Day one was way before the 80s & MTV, and they are not a onehit wonder....
@@doctorinsomnia5410You're really mining the hidden truths there
Same with you
Found this 5 years ago. Coming back nearly every day. Devo at its best.
One of the best songs ever
That bass...OH MY GOD
YES.
Balls to the wall rock n roll right there!!!!
That Gut Feeling intro is pure bliss.
PURE AGRREMENT WITH YOU, THE BEST.
Gets me everytime. It's weird it's like it gives me a feeling of nostalgia for a time in which I didn't even exist
It just goes on, and on, and on, and makes me wonder "Why couldn't it have been part of the official version??" So perfect.
Intro Has Rush Over Tones.
Greg X But it is part of the official version
Oh for a time machine. That's where I'''d go. To that show!
I was in San Diego in 2010 and saw DEVO. I was sad when they didn't play this.
Amazing video.... Amazing band.. Greetings from Chile 2021
Happy Birthday, Mark Mothersbaugh! This is my favorite Devo song!!! 🤘🤘🎼🎶💙
I saw them au Palace in Paris, France.... It changed my life. 1978 I think.
Alan Myers is the best drummer to emerge from the punk era.
possibly greatest band ever. no-one like them at all. punk rock at its finest.
What a performance! My favorite song of
theirs.
wow this rocks!
A little piece of music history.
It was fun when all this stuff surfaced, looking like nothing that had come before. I remember seeing Devo on SNL and everyone talking about it the next Monday at school. It was a great time.
Very true. DEVO were truly doing something *COMPLETELY* new. Even most of the other (then) new punk bands weren’t exactly breaking all ties with the past. Most of them were just doing an angrier, louder version of the garage bands from the 60’s. DEVO and a select few others, like Wire in England and the Screamers in L.A. were basically throwing away everything that had come before and doing something totally new and original. I remember how blown away I was back then with their whole thing - their look, their sound, and the whole de-evolution concept. They managed to keep it pretty fresh and challenging all the way up until roughly 1981.
@@Brewzerr Not exactly 'throwing away everything' . But definitely reworked some things.
e.g. 'Uncontrollable Urge' is Led Zeppelin 'Misty Mountain Hop' riff . But , yes , they were making a statement by de-volving it .
They were on Fridays in 1979. What year were they on SNL? I'll have to look it up.
Devo were so tight, even way back near the beginning, incredible.
The best song live, EVER!
I had the privilege of seeing these bad boys in Sheffield England 1978 ~ I still havn't recovered!!!!
My mum wouldn't let me go to that gig (Was 14 at the time), at the City hall if I remember correctly.
josie parkin I was lucky enough to see them at the rainbow theatre in finsbury pk London 1980.
josie parkin 1980 for me
Paramount Theatre, Portland Or 1982
I saw them in early 1979, and the level of anticipation in the audience before they came out was amazing; everyone knew that Devo was something unique and special. The concert was electrifying.
Still going strong over 40 years later...
"Gut Feeling (Slap Your Mammy)" is one of the best punk songs of all time.
their drummer is fantastic. rock solid.
The most original band I have heard in the early 80’s. Amazing music
This is the PERFECT version of this song!! Alan Meyers is the most amazing drummer ever. Just watching him in this video is not fit for words. I just keep watching it over and over he is about to tear that kit to shreds!!! I LOVE IT!!!
the drums at the beginning of Slap Your Mammy are so raw! excellent!
My favorite band . My favorite song .
They were such a tight band! I remember people saying to me, "How can you like that? They can't play their instruments!" I always wondered what the hell they were hearing, DEVO always sounded amazing to me!
That was badass. Still feels fresh and full of energy
Back in the 70's Playboy magazine had an article about interesting gifts you could buy. One of them was you could hire a Devo to play at your birthday party, just 25,000 plus transportation. What a bargain!!!
Still as good as ever, love em
I can’t even put in to words how good this is.
I keep coming to that, I try to make a post and realize I can't say enough. I could write a book and it wouldn't come close to expressing how completely awesome this crappy black and white ate up video is. I think your statement is as close to perfect as possible.
Yes, agreed to my extent of existence
Absolutely fucking bitchen!!!
Do the words get stuck in your throat?
Absolute mastery. Going from here to programmed drums proves de-evolution.
Wow...killer version of one of there best songs
Legendary...
Is this future or past?
Unbelievable.
How could anyone give a thumbs down to this!!!?
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even if they're a-holes & it's stupid and wrong.
I've seen videos of puppies cuddling kittens that had thumbs down. Goofballs abound.
Priceless!
When he sang, "hhhbllreladdaaa beelaamaagg soallaakpp" It really got me. Truer words were never spoken. A poet for the ages.
Perhaps one of the most under-rated bands?
Three under-rated bands: Devo, Renaissance, and October Project.
Not "Perhaps" The most under-rated and misunderstood band in history but that actually worked well for them. There is no way to account for the influence they had on everything that followed them. The fusion of electronics and punk ...
ah, words fail.
Certainly one of the best and rightfully inluential bands of all times, bit underrated? How?
@@qpouvtmvoelxjtu458 They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
@@haybill3000 Very true!
That intro totally influenced the 90s.
My favorite by Devo ✌️🎶🖤
1977 video content, perfect! Back in the day!!!
My favorite Devo's song !
Every time I listen to this I hear less and less of the audio crackle and more of FUCKING DEVO. Gets better and better!
Classic footage 😀😀
the best devo song... and a lot of fun top play.
I remember the 1st time I heard DEVO .. my brother played a cassette, I was instantly converted
That jungle-punk metronome will echo forever. Thank you Alan!
Live music footage doesn't get much more historic or iconic than this.
The best Band ever👍👍👍
Genius then and even now.
There are songs that make your body move all by its own without you even noticing. This is one of them.
Thanks. What a gem.
Yet more proof that Alan was as integral a part of Devo as any.
Punk and rock and new wave. Hard to wrap my head around. Love them.
Alan ...what a fantastic drummer !!!!!
best version of gut feeling ever. the ending is priceless.
Love joy Division,love this.im from Scotland.🏴🏴🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Weather Channel at one time used the intro for background music for weather on the 8s.
Maybe the best rock and roll song of all time.
This is priceless!!! DEVO was the greatest punk band ever!
Watched this video over 100 times and still i get Goosebumps everytime I see it.
I see a woman in the crowd putting her hands on her ears! 🤣🤣
This gig must have created a lot of grunge musicians im sure.
I'm only 16, but I love this stuff
This is a great tune, featured in steve zizzou, life aquatic. Growing up in cleveland we saw devo grow up as this nerdy band from kent state.
Wes... blah.
