Devo with gray hair and bellies is still better than anything those spuds in the crowd will ever know.

[@rtbarnes4893]

Jeez, watching Bob Casale is just so difficult now. Was a good friend of mine and such a great guy...

[@BrianMarkovitz]

He's been with the world... RIP Bob2.

[@mr.wilson9178]

These guys were really ahead of their time by decades!

[@dianecastillo2434]

RIP - Alan Myers you will be missed. Devo FOREVER!!!!

[@Jazzman-bj9fq]

The drums on this track are legit!

[@badassdanthepowerman6438]

Dude, they sound the fucking same! I love that, it’s always sad when you hear what a band sounds like now and nobody can sing anymore.

[@IconOfSin88]

I think they just keep getting better and better. Pure, unadulterated skill.

[@memekodd]

These kids do not the true rawness of what Devo did so they are frozen with amazement.

[@NigelJackson]

They're just spuds..

[@DXPunx74]

I remember buying This record in 84. I still have it and play it on occasion. I always loved this little combo of 2 songs. Mr. kamikaze, Mr DNA....

[@adambarratt1820]

I've got SP/Mr. DNA on loop at the moment. It's so fucking good! It rocks! This is the best live version of it I've found on KZbin so far. It's really fleshed out live.

[@badmonkey2222]

Check out the performance from lollapalloza 2012 or 13i think with Freeze on drums is insanely good

[@CKT1138]

It's always come across better live IMO

[@jackhartsough3]

That was an incredible performance!!!!

[@sammencia7945]

Probably the best version of this that is out there. Analog noise band from 1974 teleported to 2013. Enjoy spuds. Consume or die!

[@JohnBham]

RIP Bob

Let's see you rock out when you're over 40.

[@USNVA11]
