  • @adirondackbruce I think they were also consciously going for a more stripped down, casual vibe at this time. You can hear/see this on "Total Devo." The costumes, philosophy and general weirdness were all really toned down. Also, according to Jerry, coke had become a problem for some of the band members.

  • @dinosaurjr420 & zerobeat & NESSHEAD : Yep, you are looking at what Jerry & Mark describe as being "the house band on the Titanic." They were GOING UNDER. I look at Jerry's face in this video -- and compare it to the New Traditionalists tour vids -- each is intense, but in this one he's pissed off [I imagine] for what is happening / and is yet to happen to them as a group. It's truly a crime what happens to artists in this country who have a conscience and a voice. I'm thrilled they are back.

  • best song ever by DEVO

  • @zerobeat18 Well they were running out of money during this time. So much that they had to cancel the SNM tour...

  • Wow. Does Mark EVER sing or play a wrong note??

  • I saw the Detroit show on this tour and it all seemed low key and low budget compared to the early 80's shows. They wore T-shirts with the Total Devo happy/sad face logo... same ones you could buy in the lobby. And David Kendricks is a fine drummer but lacked the intensity and "sense of purpose" that Alan Myers had.

  • That's the first time i've seen them perform in regular clothes. Not counting their sound check in Del Mar and their performance as DOVE.

  • I know right. He's probably the one that's aged the most gracefully. He does NOT look 57 years old :P.

  • bob1 is still so skinny! yay
