Devo - In Heaven Everything is Fine / The One That Gets Away (08-03-1979)

[@patrickwayne9074]

In 2024, they are STILL ahead of the game. It’s a wonder how they ever had a decent following in the 80’s

[@pah8c5]

I was there.

[@moorsiek]

Lucky you!!!!!!!! :)

[@Mr_Boifriend]

✨ that’s cool, Patricia ✨

[@yawnandjokeoh]

😎 that's sick!!!

[@yellowjackboots2624]

100th like 👍🏼

[@antagonizingusername]

God, I fucking love that ring modulator sweep. That’s some hardcore devo shit right there!

[@Laavaavaal]

I have been sucked into a vortex of Devo tracks that I dont seem to want to escape from!😅

[@elisabethd1970]

Alan's drumming in "The one that get's away" is friggin amazing. Primal and tribal. Love it!

[@heinosljivovica5854]

We, the argentinian spuds are waiting for devo. We need to see DEVO playing here and now. At least once in our lives, in our Country. You, Spuds from all around the World, send DEVO to Argentina.

[@vfebm]

i wholy support this

[@caballosinnombre3981]

the older you get, the better it gets

[@boojiray]

"We'll pass out diapers at the door....and we'll shit our pants together." They should have done this party conventions this year. That'd been appropriate.

[@creamween]

I just found this. LOL Brilliant!

[@preciousbash]

I love what they are wearing in this pic. Their ensembles were always so Daddy-o!!

[@occommunitycats7616]

You can buy those shirts now! This Spud Girl wears hers proudly!

[@rabbait1308]

probably the coolest thing that has ever happened.

[@moorsiek]

Oh, so fucking hot, so fucking brilliant music. Oh I wish, I wish all the group would be still alive and that young and play one concert in Russia, Moscow. I love it so much!

[@litlgrey]

When Booji Boy talks about seeing DEVO in the future... I think he means NOW. So when you go to see DEVO live during 2014, keep a look out for the diaper concession.

[@Patrick-lj1dk]

​@Bat Rastard The Future is FOREVER. Duty Now Forevermore 🌃🌃

[@gyratinghipsters]

Bauhaus also covered this and it's definitely worth a listen. Both equally good versions but so different in style

[@rasjoe420]

Link to it?

[@ronan.pellen]

It's a staple of the Pixies as intro to their concerts too!

[@matthewoldnew281]

Wow! Gonna chk it... Also i know a weird version by german/italian electro combo PANKOW!

Love Bauhaus & Devo. Miranda Sex Garden do the best cover. Just a fact..

[@cess1972]

..."Roll over Robert let Boogy boy take over!!!!".....

[@dragan2324]

The "In Heaven" bit gives me the mental image of stumbling into a bloody murder scene on a space station. The One That Gets Away is just magnificent, its a sin that this track wasn't put out anywhere.

[@alyxkerr8193]

The skit part "five spudboys" may hint at why they didn't press this track

[@dragan2324]

@@alyxkerr8193 where can i find this skit?

[@GrantTarredus]

@@dragan2324Yes, please; where? And the “skit part” of what? Thanks.

[@SaintBozothe3rd]

You got your good thoings

[@bentramer682]

I don't think they understood his rant but I sure loved it

[@amber4sw]

Damn, the energy in the performance of One That Gets Away is simply breathtaking.

[@Whompert]

This tour had the best setlist ending, it just did.

[@JackOwens]

The In Heaven bit is a cover of a song in the movie Eraserhead. Trippy.

[@elisabethd1970]

Marks playful jibe at Eddie Van Halen makes me think of that scene with Rod Rooter asking Devo to write some hits like "Parcheesi" or the "Evil Clowns".

[@boogiemite]

this is phenomenal.

[@antoyal]

Devo controlling the power of the Brown Note? That would be amazing.

[@LaOxidada]

Love the crowd cheering every time booji says weird off the wall stuff. Ive never heard people so excited to shit themselves to brownian noise .

[@michacahan]

❤️David Lynch,Pixies & Devo For you that don’t know this song was from Eraserhead.

[@preciousbash]

LOVE "The One That Gets Away" TIME TO FAAA-REEEEEK OUUUUT!! Go DEVO GOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Hop hop hop and never stop!!!

[@SteveAydt]

I was there! Great show by a timeless band.

[@dgivy]

I love this!! lynch and devo= awesomeness!! let's all wear diapers!!

[@FrenchToasted1995]

hwhat

[@scottbrady7499]

devo and pixies have a lot of parallels. ..outside the box, fantastic melodies that MATTER, and meaning. i've never cone across this. magnificent!!

[@michaelharris4651]

I'm so really pissed that I never seen DEVO !

[@markshulusky6680]

I know Devo was all about the future, and damned if I didn't wish I had the pants and shirt Mark M. Is wearing now in 2022. That's fashion forward.

[@stapler942]

The chorus of "The One That Gets Away" was quoted later on in the opening theme to the Nu-Tra tour (and in the Adventures of the Smart Patrol version of the same theme).

[@Turtle152]

"Roll over Rover, let Booji Boy take over!"

[@bartthatcher5799]

Rad stuff!!! These guys have so many hidden gems.

[@condor2279]

The way he rants reminds me of Zappa.

[@lreeher]

or Captain Beefheart.

[@iamtherobot]

Once again, thank you. I've been looking for this one for years as well.

[@number7gracestreet]

erie. beautiful.

[@markraza9762]

great!!!!!!!!! .

[@diskochimp]

Never heard this before, many thanks!

[@SynthesizersForPeace]

awesome, thanx!

[@monsterzro]

lol, Devo predicted the Tupac hologram 33 years early!

[@rasjoe420]

Exact

[@stephenhensley5631]

BOUNCE SPUDS !!!!

[@heylaceface]

perfect

[@1nceBitten2wiceShy]

And of course the Pixies did it as well... I'm more curious than ever now as to why Booji Boy is so obsessive over singing songs about heaven...

[@leodelciello3780]

he's been a Christian in one of his past lives

[@granudisimo]

@@leodelciello3780 He even converted DEVO to Christianity and briefly turned them into DOVE the band of love.

[@spensert4933]

He's the split-off part of devo psyche

[@daveismoseley]

This song is from “eraserhead” the movie. Modest mouse also did it

[@beckytucker6794]

Orignally by Peter Ivers. Brilliant and underrated artist.

[@jonathanaarhus224]

The midpoint between The B52s and Nine Inch Nails.

[@jonathanbrowne988]

We'll all shit our pants together!

[@Subtle_Oddity]

YEAHHH WE’LL HAVE A GOOD TIME YEAH!!!

[@gogoyubari366]

Eraserhead song.

[@TVindustries5000]

@alainfromfrance no im prety sure its not. also an intresting fact: david lynch met with devo to ask if they could cover "in Heavin" from his film eraserhead, which they were fans of. if u watch it goes hand and hand with the devo style

[@ultralance]

Wow, The One That Gets Away sounds like it might be a really early Girl U Want.

[@LordToasterOven]

Who disliked this? I know Devo's not for everybody but how'd they get here?

[@wsmc2103]

I got here because I heard there was a cover of this song. I didn't hit the dislike button, but I do dislike it.

[@Brewzerr]

Lord Toaster Oven - Peter Ivers purists. Personally I think this is brilliant.

[@Tautolonaut]

*looks around* I see no normal people, here in the future.

[@MechaRandom42]

[@jasinjoaquin]

Hi all, Does anybody know if Devo ever recorded/released a studio version of One That Got Away?

[@FreedumbFighter29]

Sorry they did not

[@Blank_Frank]

Erik Nervous did an awesome studio cover, check out his "Nervoloid" EP

[@WoodRatGirl]

I'm jealous of the folks who saw this live!

[@MrSlapyourmammy]

Was'nt it 8/4/79 ? Dallas Tx.

[@profhojo74]

God Booji's rant in the middle of this song is really creepy! I guess they were really weird even after they signed with WB. I would have expected it more in like 1976 then 1979. Still love it though.

[@auroraboreal261]

hey may someone make a big favor for me plz? write the lyrics, my english is not so good to understand what he says, and i didnt found a website with the lyric, plz help me , thanks!!!

[@stapler942]

Not being too familiar with Eddie Van Halen or Ted Nugent, can anyone tell me what licks are being quoted in Booji Boy's solo?

[@johnlazzaro2534]

See you beautiful mutants at Devo Island ... Booji Boy is head of the world's first recombinant DNA lab , when he's remixes us , and there's enough of us,,, we'll go into the future and kill all the normal people ! We'll make it a BEAUTIFUL PLACE ! WHooo Hooo !

[@mobius273]

Boojy boy predicted hatsune miku

[@elisabethd1970]

They need to pass out diapers and turn on the subsonic frequencies at most corporate business meetings. At least they would be more productive. Devo, the musical laxative for a constipated society!

[@destroydate7887]

Dallas was also the birth place of The Church Of The Sub-Genius.

[@occupant123]

Hearing the rant in the middle, I firmly believe Philo and Ivan were front row center stage tripping balls on acid. This is where it started...

[@anonymoushuman8344]

" 'Bob' has come to help a constipated society blow it out their ass." - Mark Mothersbaugh

[@launchingpatrick]

I used to listen to the radio show. I think it was Sunday nights.

[@KurtSlotkowski-hj8jd]

The only other cool version of this song (other than the theme song from the soundtrack), is the one by Tuxedomoon.

[@Turtle152]

Inducing mutation and plotting to destroy the rest of the human race? The bad guys in the first "X-Men" movie stole all their ideas from Devo!
