This is just unbelievable... almost 40 years ago I was sitting right there in that concert hall while I was attending college in BU!!!! One of the best concerts I have ever been!!! Probably unbeknownst to the members of the band, DEVO was HUGE success in Venezuela at that time. I used to be a DJ in Caracas back then, and literally ALL songs from that concert were top hits in that country!!! Definitely way ahead of their time, these guys were big innovators and leaders of a trend in music that still sounds fresh and contagious...
DEVO changed my life! As a 14 year old in my parents basement in 1980, I started singing along and recorded my own vocals over top of the band (think Girl U Want! lol) on my dad's fancy Sony cassette deck... fast forward to 1995, I was a 4 time, Academy award winning sound engineer for Oliver Stone's JFK and Mel Gibson's Braveheart... all because of this crazy band from my home state of Ohio. My Only regret?!? Never getting to shake Mark or Jerry's hand and thanking them for the amazing life they inspired me to dare to go out and lead!! Thanks DEVO!!!
I don't think most of us would know who DEVO is without Alan. I'd even put him the same category as Bonham and Peart, in that he was the absolute perfect drummer for the band that he was in. It's easy to forget the load he carries.
Alan Myers was phenomenal. Jerry has oftentimes been quoted as saying that Myers was EASILY the finest drummer that he has ever played with...and, remember...Jerry played with Ron Wood, Neil Young etc...
There were people who didn't even realize Devo had a drummer. They thought Devo was using a drum machine on recordings. Alan was a human metronome and yes, the perfect drummer for what Devo was doing.
Love it! I was fortunate to get to see Devo's "New Traditionalists" Tour in about 1982ish in Oklahoma City, and have been through being cool every since.
Hahaha, you never been to a Grateful Dead show! Or Oingo Boingo! DEVO is awesome, and live they don't disappoint, but there is no competing with Jerry Garcia show, or the Dead,!
I remember the first time I heard Devo was in the 1986 movie called Thrashin'. The song was 'That's Good', and I remember commenting to one of my uncles what a cool song it was. He responded by saying that my other uncle had the album. I was like WHAT!? My cousin got some money for his birthday, I said lets join our cash and buy Oh No! Its Devo. We were only twelve at the time, and my mom thought we were crazy to like that kind of sound. Being only vinyl, we played it until the record was unplayable, but thankfully we made tapes. This all happened in apartheid South Africa, when we had a massive boycott against us from the entire world Almost twenty years later, I'm in a CD store and I comes across Devo, and there it is, Oh No! Its Devo, along with Freedom of Choice, all in one package. I couldn't believe it! I felt like I was that kid back in the 80's. The rest is history... But I could go on...... Thanks for the great video quality! Gates of Steel and Uncontrollable Urge are so awesome live.

I saw DEVO in Sydney in the early 80's, they were way ahead of their time musically and in performance. They were using treadmills on stage way before Madonna claimed them as her BIG thing in the late 90's during her Girlie tour.
Class of 1985 here. I discovered devo when the Oh No It's DEVO album came out and then bought all the albums I could find. This sure does take me back 😊. Thank you for posting this 👏👍😁!
I was young when i first heard them when Dr Detroit came out. The family was watching it on early HBO. I didn't know who they were at the time but I never forget the music and how funny Dan ackyoid was jogging. To the theme song
Great job on the video syncing.... DEVO had a complete nightmare getting the live show in sync with the visuals in the background. MIDI technology was basically brand new....SMPTE synching the video was a technical super feat... You hardly see any bands doing this even today, much less in 3D....geniuses
I saw them on this tour at Southampton England, definitely a stand out gig of all the many bands I've seen. Alan Myers really made the whole band better, like Topper Headon with the Clash. They hadn't toured Duty Now For The Future so no support, they did the first hour of the first two albums, the curtain came down, then the second half was the energy dome hats and what this gig shows. A great night.
Thank you so much for mentioning "The early Tubes" along with DeVo and the B-52's, very underappreciated groups. I don't think The Tubes were ever on SNL which is where I discovered both DeVo and the B-52's. DeVo were on the show hosted by Fred Ward.
@@_Heinous-Anus ABC's show Fridays, which had a short run, also had some great bands on (The Jam, The Clash, The Plasmatics, etc.). SNL was a good place to discover new music pre internet, pre Napster, etc. It was there, friends, and the local record shop.
55 years old and enjoying the hell out of this concert just like i did when my mom took me to see devo in Merrillville,. Indiana on there time out for fun tour
Sounds like you had a pretty cool mom. I was in a similar boat growing up. She took away the Dead Kennedys record I bought with my birthday money when I was 10... but gave it back to me a few years later. And then her and my dad started taking me to gigs. They introduced me to so much cool music.
This was the 2nd concert I ever saw. FOX THEATER ATLANTA 1982. I remember getting a red devo hat, that I still have.They had a incredible mech booth. Only bad thing was they only performed for 70 minutes. I still remember it 40 years later.
I was at that show. The previous tour for NEW TRADITIONALISTS was better overall (less canned) but both shows were really forward-looking and impressive.
This band. This "Gates of Steel"...not enough credit has been given for the creativity and the serious chops this band had live. Thanks for this...the audio/video synch here is FUN and the audio is really freaking good!
Just love Devo can't understand why I never got into them when I was younger. I was 14 when whip it came out. Not much exposure in England in the 80s or any other time. Great musicians and obviously madness got there move from these guys. Much appreciated the guy who put this together.
Saw this show in Portland Oregon 12-16-1982 (both shows) it was much more exciting than this would lead you to believe. You never got shorted at a DEVO concert.
I was lucky enough to see em in 2012 a few years before Bob 2 passed. The show is still one of the best I’ve seen! Fingers crossed when concerts return Devo do at least one more tour😎
@@henrym6411I saw 'em around the same time. Might have been 2011. They were on fire. Still the second best concert I've ever attended. I don't think anything will top the time I saw Turbonegro play a tiny room in NYC as a 16-year-old - that was one of those life-changing shows that opens your eyes forever. But from a pure musicianship standpoint, Devo as a five-piece was as good as it gets. I was crushed to learn of Bob's death a few years later. Thankfully we will always have recordings like this one.
I was at this show in Philadelphia 2 days later (tix were $8.50-$10 Lol) and thankfully there werent any glitches. Sad those few songs are missing off of this but grateful for this footage and the excellent sync ty. The next and pretty sure will be the last Ill see them was almost 30 years later at House of Blues in Atlantic City, a incredibly intimate venue pretty much stagefront. Just as entertaining a show.
I got blown away by Devo when the 1st album arrived and I was around 19 or so. Then of course came the utterly brilliant and futuristic Duty Now album. The Freedom and New Trads albums were unreal too. What can be said about these legends of music that hasn't already been said? They have been so vitally important to this world to force mankind to have a real hard look at itself. One of the very greatest ever. Super rare.
I always wished they would play “The Day My Baby Gave Me a Surprise” live but they seem not to have dragged that old classic out very much at all. I think it’s an awesome tune.
@@markpr73 You are spot on there Mark, what a magnificent song it is. Have always loved it along with the entire album's brilliance. The way Devo open both sides is stunning, like the DCA starts up and before too long we're hurtling through the manic beauty of Clockout. Its unmatched in its genre i feel, it would of influenced 1000s of people who formed bands as a result. Thanks, great choice Mark.
imho , devo was one of the best, most interesting concept bands and artists we ever had . Mainly because i think they were creating, and commenting on, a multiplicity of "things" : Techno music, technology and life, increased mechanization(perhaps as expressed in the band members mechanical physical movement), satire, subtle social commentary/criticism, visual art and design, absurdism , great beats and rhythms for energetic dance , and of course they were a lot of fun whether they intended it or not . what Devo's neo absurdism and neo DaDa was about , i don't know . I do know that after ww1 absurdism and DaDa was a reaction and coping mechanism over tens of millions dying over a quarrel between a few kings and other elites who never went near the front line combat hence none of these pawn masters were maimed or killed ( perhaps Devo was a reaction/coping mechanism/criticism of US manufacturing & making stuff we need being taken overseas for cheap sweatshop labor . The result being the death of downtowns and main streets all over us of a. Devo was from Akron and they experienced the dying of that city due to rubber items manufacture, especially tires, that making stuff -- manufacturing -- being swiftly in the late 1970s and 80s transferred overseas sweatshops to insure more profits for the elite wealth addicts . And the economy became one of selling stuff we no longer made; one of selling a work and social environment of screwing the the other people we worked with and competed with, winner takes all "success"; making shopping for stuff we don't need into an obsession/compulsion of making shopping the major recreational activity; creation of legal illegal financial instruments and transactions, again for the wealth addicts at the top . Also an increase in trained technicians who had intrinsic and quantifiable value . They deserve their wages and salaries , but too often their work and knowledge is for the benefit of the wealth addicted few elites ) . Just read chapter 3 of " All Quiet on the Western Front" by ww1 veteran Erich Maria Remarque . It is so reasonable and truthful, most of us never think of it. That being that we everyday people , canon fodder for our masters, have so much more in common with the everyday soldier and peoples on the other side we are supposed to hate, than all of us from every side have in common with our leaders and elites . If we put this in practice war would become extinct .
(posted before I was finished)... Insightful and heartfelt things you were expressing. You made it worth wading through many comments that were not negative, however no more than "atta boy" statements. I really was touched by the intellect you exposed in what you expressed. Thank you and never forget. Every day we see more examples of D-eVolution at work. So much at this time with the Supreme Court and with the party that is more interested in power for themselves than what is good for the country and "We the People" whom they were elected to represent. Never forget," Total Power, is Totally Corrupting !!! " Heil to the Trump regime is the completion of... D-eVolution !!! .

One of the greatest American bands EVER.........they were way ahead of their time.........they probably still are..............and they should`ve been HUGE...........❤ They recently played in my Town...............AND I MISSED IT.............😭
Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Been very curious about the live shows and visuals, but so many have bad sound. This is a real pleasure.
Thanks for posting! Ever since this album came out i've been devolving. I even had the opportunity to meet Spaz Attack! & the Toni Basil connection, trailblazers all.
Hey Adam! I saw them in Boston in '86 (for the second time) when I was in my 2nd year at Berklee. (The "Enigma Records" years! lol) My first show was New Traditionalists with full blown BLUE HAIR at 16 in 82 in Columbus, OH... (Ohio Center Concert) I got grounded for a month for the blue hair....TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! Lol
I was there too! Really disappointed when they played "Beautiful World" as a closer and left out the "not me" part, though. Made it feel kind of sad and soulless.
I live in in the LM and was a volunteer at the Games. I never heard that these guys were playing Whistler or I would have gone. Their music was hit-and-miss with the critics, but Devo were doing performance art before it even had a name. Underrated and underappreciated as artists in their day for sure.
There's a recording of that Whistler set floating around. Worth searching for on TH-cam - someone's probably uploaded it by now. I saw them at one of the clubs on Granville a year or so after the Olympics (might even have been later that same year) and they put on a mind-blowing show. Don't even remember who opened for them because Devo blew 'em away, whoever it was. One of those memories I'll cherish forever.
Saw these guys early 80s in New Jersey at the capital theater Dressed in the yellow jump suits best concert ever wish they still toured Ahhh love my 80s
This is the first time I have ever seen this show and I am surprised that Mark is rocking out like a regular rock star instead of his usual robotic marching around.
Amazing! I saw that show the night before in Toronto - Nov 10, 1982. No sync issues whatsoever. It was my first "real" concert - we drove 2+ hours from our small town to see what remains one of my favourite concerts EVER. It's so cool to see it re-worked like this with amazing sound. Thank you!!!!
Here's to our Spud Boys for recording and mastering a live show that rivals the quality of their studio version. I saw this tour at the California Theater in San Diego right after I graduated from high school. This sounds better than my memory of it, maybe because Dego was a MUCH roudier croud. Thanks Much
IMMENSE GRATITUDE 4 all the work put in editing this together & 4 posting it! planned on watching a song or 2 and saving for later, but ended up watching the whole damn thing! that version of 'girl u want' @ 28 mins is amazing. definitely prefer it 2 the album version. such a different feel to the lyrics with the monotone delivery. loving that last concert footage the most i think, but damn those first 20 mins! (1st concert) hard to believe that isn't mimed, it's so tight & incredible sounding.

Totally awesome. They also were and are very popular in the Skating scene 🛹🤘🏻

Dec. 82, I saw this show in OK C, my brother Ryan and our buddy John went to this awesome show!!!!! Saw them in 2015 ish. Still awesome !!!
The band most ahead of its time and always underrated.
they're a one-hit-wonder.. Yeah Right!!
how little people know...Devo is great!!

There will never be another band like DEVO!!!! TIMELESS.
The future hasn't happened yet...
More than 30 years listening to these musics almost everyday and i can't stop doing....lol Thanks DEVO!!!!!

40 years spud....40! Damn...still trying avoid the ninnies and the twits.
Fuck, I know.. right?
Other bands come and go,
but none have last like Devo.
Oh, and Kiss. Original Kiss.
They just go on and on . . .
It's 2021.... Time for a new DEVO Album?! Can I please get an "AMEN!!", DEVO-tees?!?!
Love it! I was fortunate to get to see Devo's "New Traditionalists" Tour in about 1982ish in Oklahoma City, and have been through being cool every since.
This is by far the most intense performance ive seen yet by Devo. I cant imagine seeing them live!!!
Greatest live band ever ...Thank you guys for all the years of amazement ...Still takes me back many years
Hahaha, you never been to a Grateful Dead show!
Or Oingo Boingo!
DEVO is awesome, and live they don't disappoint, but there is no competing with Jerry Garcia show, or the Dead,!

Attended their concerts in ‘81& ‘82. Music is even better today. Wish I would have appreciated what I was witness to more than I did at the time.
How true. Saw em at the tower in Philly. 81. I sure appreciate their talent now. Ty
Devo is culturally underrated .. by regressing they moved art and music forward to a time we have yet to fully understand.. epic

It's almost time.
My fave Devo concert. Saw them as the spuds in California. You can't beat a french fry penetrating a donut.😅😅

They're not in they're way behind the last place vote. People are too de evolved to understand their potato
That's not right they deserve to be in!!!
@@dianebongo1328They've been nominated multiple times. It's a popularity contest which is kind of off-brand for our boys anyway.

I do know that after ww1 absurdism and DaDa was a reaction and coping mechanism over tens of millions dying over a quarrel between a few kings and other elites who never went near the front line combat hence none of these pawn masters were maimed or killed
( perhaps Devo was a reaction/coping mechanism/criticism of US manufacturing & making stuff we need being taken overseas for cheap sweatshop labor . The result being the death of downtowns and main streets all over us of a. Devo was from Akron and they experienced the dying of that city due to rubber items manufacture, especially tires, that making stuff -- manufacturing -- being swiftly in the late 1970s and 80s transferred overseas sweatshops to insure more profits for the elite wealth addicts . And the economy became one of selling stuff we no longer made; one of selling a work and social environment of screwing the the other people we worked with and competed with, winner takes all "success"; making shopping for stuff we don't need into an obsession/compulsion of making shopping the major recreational activity; creation of legal illegal financial instruments and transactions, again for the wealth addicts at the top . Also an increase in trained technicians who had intrinsic and quantifiable value . They deserve their wages and salaries , but too often their work and knowledge is for the benefit of the wealth addicted few elites ) .
Just read chapter 3 of " All Quiet on the Western Front" by ww1 veteran Erich Maria Remarque . It is so reasonable and truthful, most of us never think of it. That being that we everyday people , canon fodder for our masters, have so much more in common with the everyday soldier and peoples on the other side we are supposed to hate, than all of us from every side have in common with our leaders and elites . If we put this in practice war would become extinct .
University dissertation?
Me, I'm just a spud-boy looking for a real 🍅..
@@iconicshrubbery Yep.
Preach.
Thank you so much for the extremely meaningful and insight ful
(posted before I was finished)... Insightful and heartfelt things you were expressing. You made it worth wading through many comments that were not negative, however no more than "atta boy" statements. I really was touched by the intellect you exposed in what you expressed. Thank you and never forget. Every day we see more examples of D-eVolution at work. So much at this time with the Supreme Court and with the party that is more interested in power for themselves than what is good for the country and "We the People" whom they were elected to represent.
Never forget," Total Power, is Totally Corrupting !!! "
Heil to the Trump regime is the completion of... D-eVolution !!!
.
I really like this variation of Girl U Want. Good show!
...de los 80´s que no he parado de escuchar a Devo, maestros del synth-pop dance!!! influencia de muchas bandas actuales.

Thanks, great video bringing back my High School days in the '80s.
Tenia 13 años de edad cuando disfrutaba mucho de la musica de DEVO ..fantastico
Thank you so much for this effort. Spudtastic!
Thank you. This video is a musical treasure.
Isn't it though!
Could not agree more. cheers!
@@positivemutations8993 Cheers 👍👍
Well done! I have always loved this show and this remix-master is epic!
Thank you, Spud!! It was a joy to make. And I can't get enough of watching it. Next best thing to being there.
Awesome!! They should release this on DVD with the original backing videos remastered as a bonus feature.
Excelente trabajo,,,,MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!
Gracias, amigo mío! ¡Deber ahora por el futuro!
One of the greatest American bands EVER.........they were way ahead of their time.........they probably still are..............and they should`ve been HUGE...........❤
They recently played in my Town...............AND I MISSED IT.............😭
This rocks so much thank you for bringing this to my eyeball apparatus
Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Been very curious about the live shows and visuals, but so many have bad sound. This is a real pleasure.
Definitely my new favorite live Devo performance! Been listening to it everyday on my way to my meetings 🤘🏻💩🤟🏼
Thanks for posting! Ever since this album came out i've been devolving. I even had the opportunity to meet Spaz Attack! & the Toni Basil connection, trailblazers all.
awesome! Glad you like the vid.
I saw them in Boston in 2008, and apparently they hadn't played here since this show! What a great show it was..... Tom-Tom Club opened up for them!
I was also there! Never thought I'd get to see them live. It was amazing.
Hey Adam! I saw them in Boston in '86 (for the second time) when I was in my 2nd year at Berklee. (The "Enigma Records" years! lol) My first show was New Traditionalists with full blown BLUE HAIR at 16 in 82 in Columbus, OH... (Ohio Center Concert) I got grounded for a month for the blue hair....TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! Lol
I was there too! Really disappointed when they played "Beautiful World" as a closer and left out the "not me" part, though. Made it feel kind of sad and soulless.
Great job helping me understand the Devo experience
This is awesome! And ive never saw it before. Just great. Devo rocks.
Weird and wonderful. Good stuff. Thanks, Positive Mutations!
This was awesome. I saw them perform this show live in New Orleans. Great memories.
I saw this show at Tulane McAllister Auditorium with The Wall of Voodoo as the opener. It was a video in 3D. Wish it would have been them in person
@@Chuckatory yep me too!
To be clear - I saw 3-DEVO at McAllister too. I think it was a different tour I saw them on live at the Saenger back in '81.
@@theawesomer yeah I'm pretty sure the tour you saw was The New Traditionalists tour. That would have been an awesome show to see.
This is awesome. thank you. Love Devo. Love from the UK
Im so glad you are a devo fan..... the animations are perfect. Your edit is amazing. THANK YOU!!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you!
Flawless and Fabolous job you did man in creating this 😎👌
Thanks for posting this! Great show! I saw them on this tour in Cleveland and loved it!
Saw in Cleveland this tour! Thanks for posting, they are such grounbreakers! Forever DEVO
I live in in the LM and was a volunteer at the Games. I never heard that these guys were playing Whistler or I would have gone.
Their music was hit-and-miss with the critics, but Devo were doing performance art before it even had a name. Underrated and underappreciated as artists in their day for sure.
There's a recording of that Whistler set floating around. Worth searching for on TH-cam - someone's probably uploaded it by now. I saw them at one of the clubs on Granville a year or so after the Olympics (might even have been later that same year) and they put on a mind-blowing show. Don't even remember who opened for them because Devo blew 'em away, whoever it was. One of those memories I'll cherish forever.
Saw these guys early 80s in New Jersey at the capital theater
Dressed in the yellow jump suits best concert ever wish they still toured
Ahhh love my 80s
Excellent job on the audio! Devo: the greatest showmen ever on this planet
Fantastic work . Thanks for the effort !
This is the first time I have ever seen this show and I am surprised that Mark is rocking out like a regular rock star instead of his usual robotic marching around.
Amazing audio capture . Thanks so much for sharing this.
Amazing! I saw that show the night before in Toronto - Nov 10, 1982. No sync issues whatsoever. It was my first "real" concert - we drove 2+ hours from our small town to see what remains one of my favourite concerts EVER. It's so cool to see it re-worked like this with amazing sound. Thank you!!!!
Patterns is so underrated. Great to see it here
Thank you for posting this video! i cant get enough of Devo.
Wow! Synching better audio with this video - that's some labour of love!
Thanks for sharing, Positive Mutations!
Devo est le groupe le plus original de cette époque. Il n'y en avait pas deux comme celui là. Cultissime
Saw this tour when they came to Austin TX. Mind-blowing
MARAVILHOSO
My buds and I were DEVO and Genesis Grouppies? I prob. Saw each 6-8 times. We were always in shock n awe!!!
Thank you for posting! I appreciate the work you put into it!
Gracias por subir este video. Desde Chile thank you
Here's to our Spud Boys for recording and mastering a live show that rivals the quality of their studio version. I saw this tour at the California Theater in San Diego right after I graduated from high school. This sounds better than my memory of it, maybe because Dego was a MUCH roudier croud. Thanks Much
Great job with the synching! This is really excellent, thank you!
Thank you so much for the upload and work with the synchronization! :-)
Even today in 2022 these guys are far ahead!
Amazing.DEVO is revolutionary.
IMMENSE GRATITUDE 4 all the work put in editing this together & 4 posting it!
planned on watching a song or 2 and saving for later, but ended up watching the whole damn thing!
that version of 'girl u want' @ 28 mins is amazing. definitely prefer it 2 the album version. such a different feel to the lyrics with the monotone delivery.
loving that last concert footage the most i think, but damn those first 20 mins! (1st concert)
hard to believe that isn't mimed, it's so tight & incredible sounding.
Thanks for this Devo Show!!!!
What a drummer best ever use of synthesizers just genius
very gut video))) i watch already 3 years often))))hehehhe
Saw the show at the NYC Palladium. Was fucking awesome! Sound was great and no sync problems. D-E-V-O!
Thanks for cleaning this up and posting!
Lucky to see them twice A musician's band!
Devo.......yes a band and A WAY OF LIFE!!!!!!
