I was there. My roommate was booker at Max's and told me that Bowie was coming in that night to check out (and possibly produce) a new band from Ohio. DEVO was booked on the recommendation of their friend from Ohio, Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders). Bowie came with Brian ENO, who ended up producing DEVO's record. The open movie played, and DEVO ran through the crowd to stage in raincoats. Bowie/ENO drank least a dozen Heinekens and laughed in amazement through the show. DEVO blew everyone away.

@jeng300010 жыл бұрын
it's interesting to hear this live stuff because you can compare to the studio versions and realize that sometimes songs go through a phase of trial and error… DEVO clearly decided at some point during this tour or just after that the tune should be faster, and that's the version that got on the album two years later.

I had NO IDEA this song was that ANCIENT; I thought this came out in about 1983. That's when I first heard it! July 1977, I was climbing a tree overlooking my friends right where E. Wellesley Ave. met the Idaho border. (East Spokane near Post Falls, Idaho). I barely remember that tree, but I told everyone what to do to make a great "fort" where no one could find us.

Frans .Røjkjær Christensen I don't agree. Perhaps you're just not getting access to any good modern music because yes, as it always has, all radio and pop music sounds the same. Maybe it's time you started a new musical journey and rediscovered the joy of music. It's out there, exactly what you're looking for, you just have to dig for it.

imagine if so many people didn't shoot any analogue video in the 1970s - 2000s but only used film? we'd have an amazing archive of so many amazing events. analog video is great for effects, but "shimmering dogs vomit" (Bill Gosper) is all we have a clouded memories. I suppose that is a testament to de-evolution though.
