I met them at the Square pegs rap party back in the day as a friend of mine from university was lucky enough that his mother worked on the show.I remember saying wow you are Devo .They said no we are not.I then asked who are you.They then told me and I always remembered it.I then ran into them in a bar here in Whistler in 2010.My friend was the bar tender and when I came in she said hey come meet Devo.I said hi but you are not Devo but I know who you are.They said are sure we are Devo and i replied will you buy me a shot if I know exactly who you are .They said go ahead.Without missing a beat I told them what they had told me years ago that they are really 5 spud boys hovering above life's highway searching for bin sweet bin. They asked if I knew them from school and I said no we met at the square pegs rap party and they explained they were never meant to be a band just a school project and said that's who they really are not a band.Bartender gave us free shots all around.
that is insane!
That is such a great life experience!
Freedom of Choice is still as politcally relevant today as it was in the 1980s.
💙💜
I am legitimately stunned of the concept of Devo playing the Olympics. I can only imagine the process of them being offered the gig.
Yeah agreed. Awesome though!
They were like: oh shit.. its frickin DEVO! Hire them immediately! :)
@@Jacksmusicshack I like that thought, but I was thinking more along the lines of their agent calling Mark with the offer, Mark laughing like a hyena for a minute, then saying "You're f***ing with me, right?"
organisers of the super bowl should look north, challenge the masses
Yes. So edgy.
This concert is nothing short of amazing!! DEVO for rock-and-roll Hall Of Fame. Vote now!
They brought their A+ Game to the Olympics!!!
Audience is not prepared for Devo. Minds were blown that night. Audience was expecting Miley Cyrus, but got blasted with Devo.
They haven't been alive long to understand.
It's always a Beautiful World with Devo playing
Indeed!!
Didn’t realize you were a devo fan! Watched all ur videos when I was younger!
@@ivanf1037 I went to the early 80's DEVO concert in Sydney. It was the second band I went to see after Kiss. DEVO were so ahead of their time, mechanical treadmills on stage way before Madonna used them.
It was nice to see later on Mark M on Yo Gabba Gabba as the artist who loved to draw a potato...that made me laugh
It's also a sweet romantic place. Beautiful people everywhere, the way they COMB their hair!
And *That's Good!!*
I saw Devo at the Amphitheater in Hollywood in the early 80s . Entered the crowd coming down a knotted rope while "We are Devo " was playing at the start and ran down the aisle to the stage. Will never forget.
They gave us something that no one else ever could or ever will, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, its performance art, and it takes huge balls and risk.
while putting the pole in the hole!
Yeah i can’t even imagine the abuse they must have endured in Ohio before they moved to LA and found all the weirdos. Incredible accomplishment.
I cant believe they played Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA at the freaking Olympics!!! This was just a killer concert, I almost skipped watching this because I thought there was no way Devo is still that good, this is one of the best live videos Ive seen of them!
"uncontrollable urge" on 'urgh: a music war" is still my all time fav performance. Gary human was insane
“Urgh: a music war”❗️ I remember seeing this at the movie theatre. It’s not only a great movie, it also captured an amazing moment in time.
Edited: spelling
In 2021 I realized/decided Devo is one of THE best rock bands, ever. True hitmakers. Just happens to be a unique style. They get me howling.
DEVO reminds of KISS in that their albums were OK but they were MONSTERS in concert !!
Welcome spud.
In pandemic I got to see all devo, including devo 2.0, they are definitely high up among the best bands in history and it is a blessing that they still play live and with a lot of energy.
BWAHAHAHA
Maybe not the best ever, but a good one, I am sure of it...
It’s 2023 and I’ve just found this. So many memories of my teenage years. No one was as innovative as DEVO. Brilliant!
Devo asks a lot of its drummers. Josh Freese definitely bringing it.
Now he's bringing it with the Foo's! Great drummer.....was with Devo for 26 years and still is!
Agree! Filling the shoes of the Human Metronome is no easy task!!
Thanks for the info, I was wondering who that was. He is bringing it for real!!!
Definitely true. He's on all the time, powerfully propelling every song. Authoritative big drums to nail down everything, but actually leading like a conductor keeping it all in perfect time. I'm mightily impressed!
Freese is truly one of the best in the business. If you're an alternative rock fan, you've undoubtedly heard him on tons of albums without even realizing it. He was one of the most prolific American session drummers between ~1992 and the late 2000s. Filled in for all sorts of bands on tour, too, not to mention his full-time membership in numerous groups including Devo. One of those underrated savants who quietly left his mark all over the industry.
2021 and still way ahead of time,,Are we not men?
we are D E V O
Can't think of a better crew to go down with the ship along with...
They are the prophets of today's disaster .... The DE-Volution of the planet .... ahead of 40 years ... remember it
Funny. In 1978 kids mocked me at school for listening to DEVO.
In 1978 my teenage friends basically ignored me for listening to DEVO. Probably the only fan in the Netherlands at that time. Finding their record wasn't easy. I had a radio show of John Peel on British Forces Broadcasting Germany on cassette tape. Q:Are We Not Men was red vinyl! Then I wanted a synthesizer too. Magic times...
A lot of us prog rockers loved new wave and post-punk and made the transition early on. The rock scene was going in a lot of different directions at once in the late 70s and we favored the more interesting and innovative music. The 80s were as musically influential as any other decade and bands like DEVO ushered it in in grand style. So, if your classmates mocked you, f*ck 'em, they're what AM radio was for.
Same with me.😊
Just remember those kids are all fat today and driving SUV’s.
1978 is just starting to realize it was being mocked by DEVO.
it's amazing how good they are live
Trivia: just prior to this performance, it was reported in the media that Devo was going to be "censored" in the sense that they couldn't have the background videos behind them showing on live TV. While it wasn't specified *what* was not allowed on TV, it's probably that "pumping gas" visual from "What We Do", among others.
So I guess that's why there's no screen behind them this time.
Love watching this now and again. Watching Bob belt it out. Got to see them live 3 times in Toronto after this. RIP BOB
This is one of the best Devo performances I have ever witnessed and heard.
Mark's voice is really in good form after all these years. Great show.
Is anyone else aware of the irony of Devo playing this show? The Olympics turned Vancouver into a living, breathing stock market.
DEVO Needs to be Given The Kennedy Awards and The Lifetime Achievement Award and The Grammys and Be Inducted to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Amen Repent
Devo actually played at the Olympics?? Wow!!
The great Josh Freese "The Human Metronome" on drums. One of the most recorded drummers in history who also drums for The Vandals, A Perfect Circle, The Offspring, Nine Inch Nails, and is Stings touring drummer.
He wasn’t the drummer Jerry called the human metronome. Oh, that Alan!
Josh is one of the best modern drummers, and rightly so; however Devo sounded much better with Alan Mywers (RIP). It's obvious if you listen to past live Devo performances.
For years I was certain that these new concert videos would make me sad. But as usual, I was wrong. They've hit the refresh button, refining, rebranding and reinventing their original presentation, making it more accessible, entertaining, and entirely less obscurent. Truly worthy to be called a classic.
Freezing their asses off but still delivering a great performance for the crowd! Bravo Devo!
I WAS THERE!!! Holy fuck I wanted to see Devo for decades and am so pumped I got to see them! The Olympics was a really fucking weird choice
I've said it before here, but this is rock brilliance.
There is an unbelievable amount of musical tightness.
When they venture into a funk beat, they just rip it up. The very next second, it's classic R&B and then, they end it on a
banging rock vibe. And, this is live...
I will knock the guitar player for chewing gum. That's a f***ing no.
He's a good player, though...
@@petecartwright5211 It's for dry mouth. Bob sings a ton of harmony on almost all DEVO songs.
@@The_OneManCrowd There are/were many that did the same. It means nothing to anyone but me and I just thought it a tad disrespectful.
It's the same for me with players who turn their backs on the audience. Not the folks juking around having a good time, but the old jam monsters who would turn their backs on the crowd and play half the concert to the drummer. That's a f***ing no, too.
Some would say it's the same with smoking on stage but that got blown out of the water long ago. One of my all-time favs was the late F.Zappa. He must have smoked more on stage than he did at home.
But I should be clear: these folks, (Devo), were precedent setters and as good as they get. The utter balls to do what they did when they did it was incredible.
@@petecartwright5211 David Grohl does it too. Annoys the shit out of me.
I still LOVE devo. AND foo fighters.
@@joepi It used to be one of the biggest NO's you could make, but not anymore.
There are all sorts of folks doing it. One of my guitar hero's the late, great Charlie Danials did it too. I just thought it along the same line as turning your back on the crowd.
Great concert. Devo is in top form.
Saw them in the early 80’s at HammerJacks in Baltimore before it was torn down for Ravens Stadium. An intimate stage where I was literally 10 feet from the stage. They were in their prime and kicked ever-loving ass. Mothersbaugh was wiping sweat with a towel and threw it out in the crowd. I wonder if the person that got it still has it. One of the best concerts I ever saw. I was 24 and was getting a workout.
Wow, seen them Promoting O' No, It's DEVO!, Then again, when they were promoting Total DEVO. It would have been a wonderful present, to have those concerts to watch here at home.
They are the prophets of today's disaster .... The DE-Volution of the planet .... ahead of 40 years ... remember it
Saw that show at Hammerjacks, also Butthole Surfers, Monster Magnet, The Cramps…..a great venue under the highway!
Of all the bands I love, the band I’ve seen live most is DEVO. Best and ever. Genius.
I'm jealous.
They are the prophets of today's disaster .... The DE-Volution of the planet .... ahead of 40 years ... remember it
Good gravy Josh Freese has played drums for every band on the planet.
Outstanding credentials🎵🎵🎵
Old Love can never die! DEVO - 1973 - 2024 ..,... 😛😛😛😛
One of the COOLEST bands ever.
Drummer does a helluva job...
It is a beautiful world when i found this awsome video.
one of my very favorite groups are we not men we are devo♥♥♥♥
SNL '79 they were in aluminium outfits and the lighting was like flash lights. Doing robotics. They blew us all away at music school
HUGH points for doing Mr. DNA !!
I saw DEVO at the Wollman Rink NYC. Central Park on Jul 21, 1980!!! Unbelievable energy and visuals..
Unforgettable experience
There's a fantastic recording of that show floating around - a very high-fidelity soundboard capture with a clear mix. I'm sure it's on TH-cam if you search for it.
worlds best Human Drum Machine
I Love DEVO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 First time I saw DEVO was when they appeared on the Sitcom Square Pegs. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are. So devolution. Look now folks. Priceless and correct 2024. Duty now for our favorite future. Children
These guys said in 1 song what all the other bands took an album to say.
@@astheworldburns3590 I can't get any Google result that has it as a Rolling Stones track.
They are the prophets of today's disaster .... The DE-Volution of the planet .... ahead of 40 years ... remember it
the one and only...never imitated or duplicated because it was impossible...on one would dare...a 100 years ahead of their time...
My BANDS COVERED TUNES FROM freedom OF CHOICE IN THE 80S40YEARS AGO
They could`ve come out in 2021...................and they would`ve still been years ahead !!!!!!!
I’ve voted at least 20 times to get DEVO into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but the mainstream artists are leading. Won’t stop until they get their just due.
Ah fuck the rnr hall of fame. Devo rule and we know it!
But, but, they gotta make room for Dave Grohl! Ugh ..
@@joshuapocalypse The RnR hall of fame is about as legit as the Country Music Fashion awards.
It’s all about money, the bands that get in have to pay big bucks to get inducted.
The HoF isn't a sign of Jack nor shit
rock and Roll hall of fame,vote for the boys.
I did 🥔
I wanted to go see this show so badly, but couldn't get a ride up to Whistler. Thankfully, they came back to Vancouver soon - can't recall if it was later the same year, or in the fall of 2011, but you better believe I bought my ticket as soon as I found out about the gig. And they didn't disappoint. Still one of the best shows I've ever been to.
I seen Devo 42 years ago today Masy Hall Toronto Ontario my first Sober Concert and here we are 2024 still sounding fantastic 👏 I'm having coffee ☕ at Starbucks out side at the table and just popping away I thank u Devo for the great music 🎶 even to this day you sound better than ever God Bless You..😊❤👍
almost saw them live around 1979. They were so freaky i was scared.
me too! 1978 Minneapolis- I asked a girl to go with me and she said "Why would you want to see Punk Rock?" I was still high on the SNL performance
@@PaulYoungMinnesota There's a recording of that Minneapolis set that is completely mind-blowing. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend searching for it here on TH-cam - the audio quality is almost absurdly good for a tape of its era (I think it was recorded for a radio broadcast). And the performance itself? Absolutely out of this world.
Es fabuloso que está banda musical tan antigua se mantenga en plena vigencia debido a su calidad artística superior y esa tremenda capacidad para crear música correctamente elaborada y exitosa. Es un honor envejecer junto a ellos y su música. Saludos desde Chile al otro lado del mundo en Latinoamérica. Febrero de 2024.
I always considered them as a funny, bit provocating band. Here they are still funny after all these years, but OMG, didn’t know they were that good live. This is really brilliant!
amazing! they toured extensively throughout their career and it shows...
It was never a joke
@@MagnumInnominandum musically they have great chops. And great lyrics
ya know....almost every other movie/TV show is scored by mark mothersbaugh. now, that's, funny!
It was / is a provocating band ! No doubt !
One of the finest band ever!
Saw this live in 2010...sounds as good today as then. One of the great Olympic medal ceremony concerts....Great Big Sea (2010) was good too!
As a long, long time super fan of Devo, i can say that I thoroughly approve of this wonderful live footage. Thank you 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Fun concert especially the new songs.
Post post modern man
My all time favorite is still "come back jonee". The first album "are we not men, we are devo" is the most innovative and strongest album of this band. Timeless...
I liked New Traditionlists and Freedom of Choice.
Absolutely brilliant. What a performance!!!
Were all Devo
Thank you for posting this! LONG LIVE DEVO
I saw em 4 times in Italy and France back in 79/80 And now that i live in LA I met Mark in a cafe where I used to go Start chatting and having good time Life is really unpredictable Ah i already had the chance to talk to Bob back then One of my faves and i agree with the bro trying to push for Hall of fame
my favorite band in the world at my favorite place in the world
Killer set.
Loved these gentlemen since I first saw their whip it video in 1980. My God, they've made so many classic songs. Legends above legends.
I wore out the Freedom of Choice album in 1980 at the expense of incessant ridicule from my older brother, who emphatically, yet ignorantly declared that it was not "real rock -n- roll." It was absolutely different, but still damn good "rock" music. Peculiar in it's heavy synth, and a departure from strictly guitar oriented music, albeit with flashes of sporadic heavy guitar riffs, yet incredibly tight and oddly melodious. I actually eventually sang in several hard rock/metal bands over the years, but always had a special fondness for this album.
Great footage of this show! I saw them in June or July 2010, right after Something For Everybody was released. Similar set list. Great mix of the new songs & classics.
I just saw them in LA 9/25/21. They are truly one of the most unique & innovative bands ever. Love them since 1978. ❤
It was so cold up there, I have no idea how they played so good. You can tell there was a little bit of a mess up on the beginning of Secret Agent man, but other than that, a near flawless show
What We Do is What We Do
Just what is it that you do do?
22:18 fuckin awesome thanks for the music DEVO love to see you soon love Australia
Love the guitar-rich classics.
If DEVO doesn't get into the RARHAF, I promise , I'm not gonna be happy , prove me wrong and give Devo their do ....
J.d, Youngstown ohio...
Imagine if DEVO and Kraftwerk had toured together...
Both bands paved the way and sadly most of today’s youth have never heard of neither. We have left our future down. Truly we are Devo.
And they would both play support to OMD..
"Autobahn" was one of my first records :)
What a great show ! I especially liked Gates of Steel…and Mr DNA. So much energy.
D-D-D-DEVO freezing their energy domes off.
Thank you for sharing...
Devo still rocking!
again I say that drummer Is monumental
Great stuff!!
AWESOME Concert!!!
Muy bueno gracias por subirlo.
omg I wish I had a drummer like that
Thank you for putting this up, totally love this. :)
Great show ! 👍
Wow, I wish I was there. Thanks so much for posting.
Burrr
Me too. I tried to get a ride up to Whistler but none of my friends who had cars wanted to make the trip. Was a hell of a bummer. Thankfully they came back to Vancouver a year or so down the road, to the Commodore (or maybe the Vogue... one of those Granville-adjacent venues, anyways). And thankfully the Whistler set was filmed so those of us who missed it can enjoy it vicariously a decade and a half later!
Amazing!🙏🏼
They are still crushing it!
Like Bill Shatner nothing is like going into space in a big white phallus .
They killed at this show in shape and just so good 👍 they raged.
Great drummer!
What a GREAT set that was. Thanks for the upload.
awesome and gets better every day
Many fine sounding episodes! Nice tech support for this fine performance. DEVO - they are all you need.
Excellent audio!
Genial DEVO, excelente video. Saludos!
@Jake Weil THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I really loved watching this concert. A great trip down memory lane. Makes me wish I had seen them live. They sound fantastic and really know how to perform. Kept a smile on my face for the whole hour!
One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Around 1981 on the Norman OK campus (I was visiting from Utah with my OK cousin). Second row, center. We saw some crazy shit.
Very cool venue!
Brillantes!¡
It's a brilliant concert, the tracks are perfectly re-arranged .. perfect live !!!
Wow, pure high quality.
Thanks for this, I’ll always take timeout for fun with these very special creatures.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yahyahyahYAH! Thanks for the kickass show!
Thanks for the upload. DEVO have it all - still brilliant after all these years. Not many bands can maintain such intensity, perhaps only the mighty Killing Joke can still come close live.
