Love this sound, and especially the guitar playing. I love it when bands and producers allow the guitar to sound like a guitar; nice and clear in the mix or performance, not flooded with everything else.

[@GreyElf3K]

I love it. After all these years, Devo's still rocking out with the pyramid hats. I wish I could've been there to see them perform.

[@Autonomy16]

Hey there. This is my video and after many years of having it up here, I'm just now getting around to reading some of the comments. Bob 2 was the greatest. He was in spectacular form here along with his bandmates. And let's also not forget original drummer Alan Myers (not drumming here) who passed away a few months ago. DEVO will always be one of my favorite all time bands. I am lucky to have seen this free noontime show in front of SF city hall in 2002. Yes, a friend and I filmed the entire show and I will try and post the rest of it here in the near future. One last tribute… my friend, Joe DiLiberto, who was on the "A" camera passed away in 2007. He was a DEVO fanatic as well. Thanks for watching.

[@1888jayne]

BEST SPUD BAND ON THE PLANET

[@raggabass]

How Devo is not in the Rock Hall of Fame is criminal!! They were war ahead of their time socially and musically. Com;on, if a group like Steely Dan can get in and Devo can't? VOTE THEM IN!!!

[@bullyhc]

Devo + Josh Freese = AWESOMENESS!! Wish I had of been there...

[@Hudson1848]

will love them till end of days

[@mysticfluid]

unsung heroes of our time. people and the music industry should give enough credit to what they have contributed.

[@tacomadc]

Such a great band - so glad they are still around. So kind of them to tour even though they are so busy doing TV and movies. Wish Danny Elfman was half as cool and dedicated to his fans.

[@radiorob7543]

A lot better than I would have expected from a live performance. Damn, I wish I could have been there. I was so close too.

[@THECLARENCES]

We were at this show! Free lunchtime show! xoxo The Clarences

[@ThorGoLucky]

Fun! I'm happy to see that they're still performing and making fun music.

[@nottippinem]

they will always be legends who cares about hall of fame........cause you ......are the fans i want

[@Bonedaddy500]

Saw Devo at Coachella 2010 and there was alot of new gen converts there who were jammin to Devo and loving it. They were carrying the word to all, "ARE WE NOT MEN? ARE WE NOT MEN? ARE WE NOT MEN? ARE WE NOT MEN?" profound words today

[@sparkicus]

Ha! I was at this show! I'm somewhere out there in the crowd. Awesome show. We were surprised how they all still kick ass.

[@MsNcM1218]

DAMN! THAT WAS AWESOME! 😄

[@BarjoBinard]

What an amazing performance!

[@henrym6411]

I also saw them when they performed with blondie!

[@drkam6]

Right on!! They still ROCK

[@frostedhead]

younghoss The punk isn't the music, it's the attitude

[@user-dh3ty8xm6o]

何歳になっても演奏しつづけることが音楽に取って 最大のロックなんだと思う。かっこいい。

[@henrym6411]

Musictlc1 my parents got me into devo when I was 4 and watched my now broken vhs copy of were all devo!

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1980 {June 21st} Devo's video of "Girl U Want" was previewed on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... The single never charted in the U.S.A.; but did reached #57 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... Fourteen years later in 1994 it was covered by Robert Palmer; and just like the original his version reached #57 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... Robert Palmer passed away on Sept. 26th, 2003 at the young age of 54... R.I.P. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Clark...

[@Ozeanberg]

This Is why the 80s will not go away

[@inspiralroses]

Bucket+Head, yipppieeeeeeyeeaaahhhhaaaaaaa!!! Anytime, anywhere!!!!

[@techjob4u]

Devos hats are called Energy Domes. They claimed that the hat captured energy from the back of your neck and transfered it back into the body. Claiming this is why they can play so many sets on tour etc. They sell them for 30$ online to this day, do they work, um hell no, are they cool non the less, yes... If you are a devo fan.check out two songs search on you tube for Thats Good and Beautiful World.best songs they ever put out (you will recognize one from a target TV ad)

[@jockhart]

Great band

[@chindonger7244]

He Drew lots of things I saw it ! I saw it all...Didnt realize it was him but I saw it too!

[@JesusChristSaves74]

Still friccken awesome!! Going to see them live in Aotearoa in December!! Woohoo

[@FlimSmable]

Mark looks totally spud with his stash and goatee!! De-evolution at its finest !

[@colm36]

yeah balls to the hall of fame..DEVO!

[@FARLEYSTREET]

for being almost 30 years after the fact they still almost sound like they did back then. I saw them in Seattle in 1982.

[@MADRIANF]

Excelente, vigentes por siempre.

[@darthmaxrat88]

most original band ever

[@JakeLonggverified]

My mind is spinning!

[@mikegonzales4705]

THATS AWSOME.........

[@mozo2112]

Love devo!

[@tyso69us]

The duds in the audience don't know what they are witnessing.....alternative legends

[@thalliadruid]

Devo are awesome, helped me finish a 5K!

[@fuckamericanidiot]

i fuckin love mark, he was into his 50s here, he sounds great

[@brianlowdown]

i hate people that are older im 40 ,and act like they know whats goin on you must know it is over

[@vollsticks]

Down fer it, they still got it!

[@anto1191]

They never take those hats off you know.

[@rodneyriddnauer]

2:12 one of the best licks of all time

[@jorgecampos9659]

Energy domes!

[@TheWhmaxwell]

Mark needs to shave that thing :) Awesome video.. thanks!

[@madmex66]

They ROOOCK MAN!

[@leiposuctie]

i love how....well....now that they're old and devolved, so to speak, they're still kicking ass, even though the sound doesn't sound tight, while it is. it almost sounds like it's as old and devolved as them, maybe it's just because it's a little slower, and maybe because of the quality of the recording. epic musicians of an epic scale, still not recognized as much as they should've been and should still be though

[@saladfork8]

I simply must have one of those darling hats.

[@juliadennehy]

Any way you slice it and dice it, Devo kicks ass. =)

[@scrofascrofa]

from 0:12 to 0:21 ..... it's GREAT !!!

[@KookyMiss2]

Wot a song!

[@isandrich]

Waaahhh!! Where was I?? I live in San Jose and missed this. Saw them at Lolapalooza and they were soooo good!

[@akie64]

I kind of like this a tad slower, the riff grinds along, love it

[@betofonsecaalfonso]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@baddernoff]

damn as good as day 1

[@horsesflu]

holy, the members are really living up to their band name

[@shaneyvincent]

great sk8 song, i think even mr hawk himself recommends it!

[@pjrg1919]

@HwoodAKAlunchbox My cousin was a member of the Aquabats, very cool guy and into the music.

[@devotion1100]

My Boys !!!!! She's Just A Girl !!! You Want !!! Lmao !!! Funk or Perish !

[@victor5150J]

🤘🤟☝️

[@pricezack]

[@SonictheBedHog]

good audio.

[@markjettner635]

Just got a flower pot on my head 😃🤖Devo r the ticket💪👍😅😎🤠

[@watertankhikes]

What a dead crowd! When I saw these guys back in the late 70's, we were slammin' hard! Kids these days....

[@flagemdown66]

how'd you get the sound so good? and did you get the whole show? 'cause this is awesome!

[@MrSillenomis]

D-E-V-O

[@CatsLikeBoxes690]

Sweet Devo cover - The Girl You Want - The Royal Iguana Fur (FAN VID)

[@SafetyPinKiten]

@EroKisfune they've played Lollapalooza in recent years and still tour (not that they need the money, especially Mark. He's been making music for cartoons for years)

[@Stevetheperformer]

@njnorth1 Thanks- You too

[@adamrizzuto4947]

I just need a girl I want T.T

[@Ozeanberg]

Top

[@markbatch6374]

does anyone know the other instrumental at the start of an early devo album??? it was a fast paced almost dance track not sure which album tho thanks

[@MrCarl220]

@Stevetheperformer 'One hit' wonders my foot!!

[@raggabass]

@GreyElf3K It's not called a pyramid hat, it's a energy dome!!

[@MrCarl220]

@Stevetheperformer LOL! Cool! Saying Devo are one hit wonders is like.. saying Robert DeNiro made only one good movie!

[@Daddybopper]

The drum beat is like clock work. Better with age.

[@impactus81]

Well if you want to make a fuss about it, its technically considered New Wave by music historians, which can be related to punk in certain ways

[@paulgrimes8627]

what the hell was he thinking with that goat tee?? I almost thought it was a devo tribute band, till they did the close up

[@Mr_Ray.]

@itchyparts1 I wonder why I see more DEVO than B-52's now a days

[@peterbaxter5651]

i wish i was there THAT afternoon was this a surprise appearance or something?

[@johncfl]

I tried stopping this at the point of the redheaded fan comes into frame as I think he look so cool -- and the damn youtube switches to another song!

[@Electric1Shadow5]

haha, josh freese pulled a freese twirl even on Devo!

[@MrCarl220]

@Stevetheperformer Oh I know, I apologize, no problem!

[@Stevetheperformer]

@njnorth1 My point was that I did not call them one hit wonders. What I said was just the opposite. I seemed "touchy" because I recieved so many replies commenting on something that I never said- so many that I got tired of responding and just deleted my comments

[@renecogo]

@raggabass jackkrrrimmmmminal?

[@GodWeenSatan]

@bersaba LOL! no doubt did they just stumble in off the street or what!?

[@SpiritofthePoor]

I can see the top of ricks head at 29 WOO

[@POPARTPRODUCTlONS]

ARE WE NOT MEN? I love some of the comments from the younger generation on this video! I just want to give them a lil' fartherly wisdow! You'll be that age someday, see if you can do any better! LOL! Pops Out

[@TimmyAndTammyScumbag]

They needed to bump this up a few BPMs. Dragging a little. Tight, sounding good, just a bit slow compared to the original studio version.

[@frostedhead]

This is sounding pretty slow... But hell, it's DEVO!!!!

[@jensbang5923]

Awesome!! Cool bitchin!!!😁❤️😎

[@GlennnD]

Electric Six's Song "Gaybar" Is actualy based on this song.

[@SonictheBedHog]

Thats why its "free". Gotta pay for the more BPM's.

[@FredC1968]

@itchyparts1 Devo is to smart for the RRHOF.

[@peterkuchenbrod5696]

Is that Pyno Man at 0:57?

[@sahbian]

Soundgarden's version is also good.

[@livebigly]

@itchyparts1 The B-52s are NOT in the Hall of Fame. And to save you the trouble, neither are The Bangles, the Go-Gos or Toni Basil.

[@vealer2]

yeah it seems the dognuts slowed them but hell its DEVO what ya expect ? thats what it means DUhhh !!!!!!!

[@capchrisvt]

@TimmyAndTammyScumbag I guess they mellowed a little with age. Hard to crank up the bpms.
