U Don`t Own This Yet? R U Kidding Me? U Must B Kidding Me!!!
DEV-O Live from Lollapalooza `96 at Irvine Meadow`s, CA !! No gimmicks here, just the men who made the music in a classic, high energy performance. The setlist contains only early Devo material, featuring killer renditions of Whip It, Girl U Want, Satisfaction, Uncontrollable Urge, Blockhead, Mongoloid, Jocko Homo, Smart Patrol/Mr.DNA, Gut Feeling/Slap Yer Mammy, Gates of Steel, and Come Back Jonee. If you missed the opportunity to see one of the best live bands ever, this is your chance to be even more jealous of all of us who did. With apologies to KISS, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, The Who, Bowie and the other 300+ bands I`ve seen in concert, DEVO`s `82 show at the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby, PA is still easily the best concert I`ve ever seen. It`s a shame the band didn`t get to play a full 90-120 minute set at this show, but this DVD is a bargain for all the mutants of this beautiful world we live in.

It's 12 bucks. Just buy it.
The live version of "Mr. DNA" that appears on this dvd was once broadcast on a PBS TV show called "On Tour" in, like, 1997. When I saw that episode of the show, I immediately became a Devo finatic. The unfortunate thing about this dvd is that it's a little bit late. In 1996-97, I was a teenager and really into the whole Tool, Ministry, NIN, etc. music seen. To see the real thing for the first time made my hair stand on end. Here, Devo pumps out music that would make the bands mentioned above pee their pants. To see them confidently strutting about and rubbing the stupidity of themselves and their audience right in everybody's face, like only Devo (and maybe Alice Cooper)can do, is something that was so damn beautiful in the industrial music crappiness year of 1996. Now, it's still a great set, but it has lost a bit of its lustre. Probably just because now I've heard it all a million times. A good set, great quality. Get it.

It's good to be Devo
Low priced, well recorded, what more could you ask for? If you're a fan, this is a MUST.

Just for the crazed version of "Smart patrol/Mr DNA," should everyone be made to watch this once. DEVO pogos like it's the late seventies, before domes, treadmills and syncro-screens were a part of the act. This is DEVO stripped to an electric essence, with a sweaty midday sun bearing down on them. And they rock as if they are out to win over a crowd of newbies. That they were playing for a crowd that was more likely there to see Metallica doesn't seem to matter one whit, and there are more than a few faithful in the crowd ready to shout back "WE ARE DEVO!"

If this sounds like a good way to spend under 15 bills and get a solid (almost) hour of DEVO's best, you can't go wrong here.
