THIS DVD FUCKING ROCKS!
A entire DEVO Concert from their Prime years on DVD, with some DOVE as
a bonus!
Sure, the quality of the video was crappy, but remember, this was
waaaay back in 1980. IBM had not released the PC yet. The Space Shuttle
had not even flown, more less blown up twice! "Bob" had not even been
killed yet!
Stang was still a Young Struggleing artist living off his spouse's
income. Not the old burned out artist living off his spouse's income
like he is today!
Hell! I STILL HAD HAIR!
Considering the time period. The Video program was damned near High
tech!
The SPUDBOYS' perfromaces were top notch. They bounced, jump and
lurched around the stage like the true Yeti they are.
I saw them in 1981 on the NuTra tour. From what I remeber there was
less of the jumping around like a retard (or a Subgenius, like there's
a differance!)
BUt the big shock was that after seeing them in D.C. last month, how
the physical action has lessened, but the atitude is still there!
Over all I give it 8 tenticles up on the Chthulu Scale
I give two testicles up on the "Doc Frop" "Teabagger" Scale
and a "666" on the Rocknar Scale
Prianse "Bob", Hail DEVO! Lick Connie!
