Bob2 singing! ......a lot!

I was lucky enough to see DEVO on this tour, the gear worked that night, and it was amazing. It was my first rock show ever, and most others have paled by comparison.

The messed up ending _adds_ value!

What went on at the end was I believe that a set delay or offset started to go awry causing the backing track and visuals to go out of sync and the band having to improvise to this - the static type noise is a click track which somehow got amplified. A relative of mine saw a later show and they had problems then but ironically the one song that was perfect was ' out of sync ' and was by all accounts visually stunning to watch.

Hey that ending is priceless - the whole thing is out of snyc - works for me though - Devo were great in 1982. Glitches or no glitches.

Oh no its Devo was the best Devo album ever. Followed by Freedom of Choice.

Sometimes that's what happens when you're pushing the envelope of technology as they were! This is [morbidly] fascinating! Their Seattle show didn't have these glitches....It's fun watching these YT vids and refreshing my recollections of shows past....I've seen DEVO every time they're played Seattle! Including March 2011, what a show! Go spud boyz!!!!!!!!!!
How far ahead of their time were these guys? Genius.

A shame that DEVO doesn't perform this song (as well as a lot from Oh, No! It's DEVO) anymore. It was really a nice stage performance. I'd like to see them do it again. Maybe one day they will do a "Oh, No! It's DEVO" concert for old time sakes.
Yeah, I know it's not their greatest album in the eyes of critics, but really, it's underrated and I'd love to hear titles like "Big Mess", "Deep Sleep" and of course "Speed Racer", with modern synth and for-sure no technical difficulties.
