Devo - Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA | Live in Santa Ana | Moshcam

----------
Devo performing Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA, live at The Observatory in Los Angeles, exclusively on Moshcam.
David Bowie dubbed them "the band of the future", Brian Eno produced their debut and everyone from Nirvana to Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine have covered them.
A contagious collision of New Wave punk, arty experimentalism and subversive politics, these music mavericks burst onto the world scene in the late '70s and turned pop music on its head forever with hits like 'Whip It', 'Girl U Want', 'Mongoloid' and 'Beautiful World'.
So when the chance to film these icons in action at The Observatory at Santa Ana, California came up earlier this year, we jumped at it. Needless to say, they didn't disappoint, delivering a spectacle jammed with hits old and new, gloriously oddball antics and their mental mascot, Booji Boy.
"The Mayan calendar was wrong," frontman Jerry Casale told the crowd on the night. "The world is not going to end this year so you're stuck with us for a long time."
We wouldn't have it any other way, Jerry.

[@drsloanski]

R.I.P. Bob2. You rocked mightily.

[@dclefevre]

I saw the Hardcore Devo show in Chicago last weekend. Devo ain't nostalgic bullshit. They rock as much as they always did...

[@Moshcam]

Thanks for watching!

[@SuperPussyFinger]

You’re absolutely right.

[@SirManfly]

@@SuperPussyFinger it is a CRIME that they still aren't in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame !!!!

[@octangula7914]

I love Bob 1’s voice

[@Meme_Lor]

Is that a fellow Kirby and Devo fan I see?

[@eddiemoney1093]

Yes. Bob Mothersbaugh is punk as fuck.

[@beyondslantskill]

October 1981, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago. I was 25, stoned, jumping up and down on a folding chair for 2 hours with a bunch of fellow spuds. Bob 1 soloing atop the stacks of amps. Those were the days, my friends.

[@michaelg2502]

Sweet! I'm the age you were then today! There's still time for me, I want that

[@ycm3591]

weed is immoral

[@thewordlove4316]

I was there: 19 y/o and a spudboy looking for real tomatoes!! I was embarrassed to see little kids there: they were going to be turned out - DEVO's not for the faint-hearted! Bob1 got up to the low mids: the cabs were getting too small to support him - and then he jumped off while giving that LaHaye one last shriek!!! glorious

[@dignafelicisima]

the love I have for this band is indescribable.

[@RochelleEskue]

" Mr. Kamikazi, Mr. DNA. He's An altruistic pervert ". They are so great live. Saw them in Irvine, 1980. My very first concert!! Thanks Grancich Sisters

[@EireProductions]

*Kamikaze (神風)

[@kiernanh98]

RIP Bob Casale!!! I hope he's up in heaven rocking it out with the angels!! Or maybe he's in space rocking out with the Aliens.. Who knows, I hope he's happy wherever he is..

[@scootosan]

Devo ... their complexity is still unrivalled to this day.....nor will it ever be.

[@The_OneManCrowd]

Still 40 years ahead of everyone else. Nothing compares.

[@picardbs]

After 30 yrs they're still IMMENSE!

[@geneclark3600]

added note, look at Bob's guitar solo...epic

[@rngkushner]

Bob 1 started out looking like Peter Weller and ended up looking like Fred Armisen.

[@CKT1138]

Gordon this comment has become a million times better now that Fred Armisen has played in Devo...

[@peteschiernbeck2665]

thanks Gordon :) keep up the good work.

[@The_OneManCrowd]

Right? 😆

[@ExiledStardust]

When you're made of pure awesomeness like Bob 1 is, you can look like anybody you damn well want.

[@stickymeat88]

lol. stay out of PORTLAND(TROUBLE)

[@devolve42]

Bob 1 is the king of all Bobs.

[@geneclark3600]

got that right my friend

[@rliptak2]

Bob Dobbs might disagree if he cared to.

[@sickb2200]

That's why he's 1.

[@geneclark3600]

RIP BOB, we love you.

[@davidstevens6705]

favorite Devo song

[@vincenzollamas]

it does not get much better than that

[@ArrowTrajectory]

What a show! More than music, it is orchestrated art.

[@EireProductions]

It makes sense that Devo actually started out as an art collective.

[@RochelleEskue]

" Suburban robots that monitor reality " Another one of my favs. Thanks guys.

[@p.thangcrazyp.6751]

WE ARE DEVO!!!!!

[@timmarshall2062]

love devo big time

[@Moshcam]

No, we filmed this but you can buy it on iTunes as well as all the other tracks from the show at the link in the description or click on the annotation at 0m20s

[@richards3192]

1980. Manchester Apollo. Still a spud :) Great performance from the uniques.

[@richinoable]

Astonishing. A master class in Rock and Roll Performance. Take notes, kids.

[@zane17760]

Those old guys can rock!

[@surfsplendorofficial9826]

OG Spud Boy w/a real Tomato here 40 years + later ; ) When DEVO arrived in my youth... I just knew we weren't in Kansas anymore! Memo 2 All... Use Your Freedom of Choice!!! ALOHA.

[@ovi.guan.]

Is a very good group . Here from chile.

[@whohasnine7853]

They still sound so good. Domes off to them. Now the truth can be told.

[@jemellabraham7339]

Amazing Performance!!!

[@sweetdrummer]

Thank you. That's rock!

[@kohlemainen]

stunning

[@hotblackdesiato3022]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@HSR107]

Devo. FTW!

[@dunzofunzo2578]

This sounds so..... fucking good. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE AUDIENCE!!??

[@rliptak2]

They fail to understand the potato

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Yes, this rocks harder than fuck.

[@Logan912]

They’re not real tomatoes

[@liamcragin]

They’re like 60 and tired

[@glockenspiel37]

fantastic!

[@syntaxx1269]

all hail devo

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Akron’s finest slice of genius.

[@Chudhole]

Such a great song

[@helloitsmehb]

Get this band to Cleveland, OH permanently !! 😂😂

[@ExiledStardust]

Bob 1 forever.

[@zenojones]

THIS HAS ME SO HYPE RIGHT NOW HAVE TO SEE THEM ON TOUR FOR THE FINAL TOUR

[@Peachbum85]

What a band , honest as they come ...great live

[@richinoable]

Pull your socks up all the way!

[@christopherrisucci7025]

Spectacular

[@carlosobregon877]

Never seen the spud boys so tired during a performance. They still won't quit though.

[@sickb2200]

I don't think they look tired here at all. They seem all in and rocked it hard.

[@The_OneManCrowd]

@@sickb2200 Yep 100% common stock. Keeping it real.

[@mfmatthew420]

They still got it

[@markraza9762]

great!!!!!!!.

[@Evan_Kersey]

Damn, some sound changes with the synth, but they sound amazing not much has changed since 1977 Max's Kansas city

[@MrSKINFLICK]

AWESOME !

[@elkotetsu]

This is fucking insane hahahaha. DEVO is AMAZING!....as always has been..XD Waiting to see them in December 06th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Moshcam]

elkotetsuWhip it gooood

[@jmorra]

truly awesome

[@ThomasBlomster]

NOT GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS. THESE GUYS KICK ASS!

[@geneclark3600]

gods among men

[@weaseldragon]

Rocks.

[@sixsix7minus1]

I boycott so much in this world of great wealth divergence but think I should see these guys before it's all over.

[@stuartjamieson2427]

Class

[@debb8321]

6:17 !

[@EdwoodCA]

Great show! I was bummed Josh Freese wasn't there, but Jeff Friedl tore it up, too!

[@edwardtorres4326]

Mr Freeze behind the kit!!!! Awesome!

[@EdwoodCA]

This was Jeff Friedl filling in for Josh on this tour [at least the Hollywood Park and the Observatory-Santa Ana shows] I was at both of them. Jeff is great, but I really prefer Josh playing with Devo.

[@ProtoGhostal1701]

Whenever I listen to this on my iPod, I always get confused at about the 4:34 mark about who's saying what. Mark kinda sounds like a mix of both Jerry and Bob 1.

[@thewordlove4316]

Mr. DNA = Bob1 is first, Jerry second, and Mark third!!

[@whydoesgoogleneedmyname6839]

Gotta love that guys hair piece

[@64mung]

Freakin EXCELLENT!

[@ThisSideGlassbottle651]

thanks alot ill check into it

[@KingPinniped]

Indeed, it is the mightiness inside of every spud that counts most. The Men Who Make The Music will probably die before they stop sounding like 1980.

[@michaelg2502]

Aye, that need to find that real tomato

[@randymagnum143]

1980 sounds future cool. Its a breath of fresh air compared to the 1984 noise being pumped out 24/7

[@bkindt]

This is bad ass.

[@onlineenglishadventures7190]

We're ALL looking for that real tomato

[@brucegordon7248]

It's educational too, teaches the devotee about Kamikaze's and DNA.

[@smellslikeAIC]

If I was in that crowd I would give more energy than any of those zombies

[@The_OneManCrowd]

I know. They don't want me and you up front, tell ya that. I'd lose my shit.

[@syntaxx1269]

nice work spud

[@ThisSideGlassbottle651]

do you have this on dvd if so what is the name of the dvd

[@noestreet760]

Does anyone know what this song is about ?!?

[@josefizquierdo6139]

"No Comprendo My Potato"

[@shadow_hillsgrandma8224]

Only saw them once at Santa Monica civic. Half way thru my baby inside me started flipping out. It's scared me so rest of show in the lobby☹️

[@LVRROCK]

Loving Mark's belly.

[@Chyken3600]

Evita and Blondie knows that song!

[@beachkidboy]

When was this taped, it doesn't look like the late Alan Meyers drumming, not their new guy either, and Gerry looks like he has new hair, also whichever Bob it was who also passed is also still there.

[@lancelange9377]

Pretty sure it's Josh Freese. He's been with the band since 1996.

[@EdwoodCA]

It's not Josh Freese, their official drummer for about 20 yrs. He's so busy, Jeff Friedl would fill in for him, often. If you don't recall what each guy looks like, Josh is right handed and Jeff is left handed. ;) Note: Jeff Friedl officially took over for Josh in A Perfect Circle

[@jameskendall9168]

Oh no, smart patrol again shoving poles in holes. Exactly how they do that is still a mystery to most casual observers but they must have a reason, otherwise they wouldn't bother doing it.

[@cq6705]

hope they don’t get a heart attack

[@LomeVision]

This is why I eat my deodorant every day. This untangles my nerves and puts my inner yeti on super-rise.

[@cnfuzz]

Jerry wears a moogy wig and some fatbellys but these boys still put on the best show
