this is devo at their best. i wish they understood what made them so awesome. it's kind of sad that the band that used to say "i guess we like ideas" has turned to recycling their 1st album and first outfit. i guess that's the kind of wiener world we live in now. lame.
Thank you so much, COSMOTYPE. This is such a rarity and definitely worth watching despite the poor sound quality. Thank you also for the other videos from this concert.
These guys are amazing, such high energy stage presence. How original! To say that they're ripping off other artists dosen't even rise to the level of a joke.
Great! So much energy. One thing has always puzzled me though. What is the connection between ordering a hamburger ala "Burger King" and paranoia? Is the orderer paranoid that the burger will ,in fact have pickles, even though he/she requested none? DEVO please answer.
The "hold the pickles, hold the lettuce" part is Burger King's old slogan. It went "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us. All we ask is that you let us serve it your way."
this crowd is the defination of a killer mosh pit

I think the guitar is patched into his synthesiser as well-so whatever modulation he's got set up there will affect the overall guitar sound.

I love Too Much Paranoias because it does sound like being trapped within your own Paranoias doesn't it?

Ohh I wanted to see the rest of that little bit of Uncontrollable Urge at the end.

I love Marks guitar. Anybody know what he did to it? how he gets that sound? thanks

I believe he has put a homemade ring modulator or circuit bent under the pickguard. A sort of bulit-in electronic distortion.

They liked the Electro Harmonix frequency analyzer. Not sure if it's in use here, but it does sound like it.

I'd love to torture Kellie Pickler and the Jonas brothers making them listen to this for 2 hours. They'd just disintegrate.

1978 when the world was listening to Abba and other crap, we were devolving with devo. How original are these guys !!

More, more, MORE!!! The best live-footage of Devo I've ever seen. "Uncontrollable Urge" nearly started a riot on that concert.
