imo this is the alan concert

At their last concert at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, Bob not only freaked out on the guitar -- he toppled off the stage, kept playing, found his way back up, then -- at the end-- burst all the strings of his guitar at once. It was epic.

@1devo6587 That would explain his lack of talking, and very blunt way of answering questions.

Such good times for music and Bands back then.

i freaking love how Bob1 just hurls his guitar that was broken from that rippin solo out of the way and yells Mr. Kamakazee!!! like that was socially acceptable. They are one of the most bad ass bands of all time.

[sanspoint]

@yossarian9 I was there! (Actually, it was Irving Plaza.) I was worried he'd hurt himself falling off the stage, but nope!

[skellaway]

I saw Bob 1's guitar from this show (used in the Peek-a-boo video) on ebay a while ago. It was in bad condition having being saved from the garbage. Or so the story told.

Wish I had bid...

mr dna ayyy. jerry's heart really wasn't in this clearly, mark is amazing as always and bob1 is so angry

@1devo6587 I too have Asperger's and sometimes I'm in my own world. But all us Asperger people do have a few things we're excellent at! Me, I like to draw and mess around on my guitar. And rock out to DEVO. We're also known for being nice to people, too. Often misunderstood, we're smarter than what "normal" people perceive us to be.

impossible to improve upon

@viewerguy27 Almost all Devo fans have Asperger's Syndrome. It's really weird. I do.
