I was at the boston gig. Totally a head-scratcher for many who were unprepared to view the future a few decades early with the video backdrop, but it was a memorable evening for this 16 year old. My brother, his friend and I had a great time. Glad the boot of this show exists!
I was also 16 when i saw this show in los angeles. I remember watching the first few songs, then a screen rose and the real band was behind the screen. Head scratcher is right.
I saw it in Philadelphia a couple weeks after this show (11-13). We got lucky and it went off without a hitch. It was a totally amazing show. I was 17 at the time and the tickets were $8.50-10 LOL
He sure did! But this was the beginning of the end for him. Half of the show he was relegated to imitating a drum machine to a strict click track. He looks totally bored compared to years previous.
An analog purist. He was so tight I always thought he was programming beats when I was young. Another tempo monster was Clem Burke, Blondie had a solid foundation with him....Still does!
1982 Seattle paramount theater, I was 15, first concert I got to drive in a car with other teenagers.. They were sooooo ahead of the times! DE-VOLUTION is upon us, started right about then with REAGAN, RAY_GUN, DE-REGULATION, PRIVATIZATION OF OUR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS... I guess greed is a kind of uncontrollable urge .... make it stop please:] YAY DEVO!!!!
Kids today wouldn’t say this is anything special, but when I saw this tour in LA in 1982, it was as if they beamed in from 25 years in the future and performed the show before beaming back.
Alan Myers was phenomenal. He's gotta be one of the most criminally underrated drummers ever. Jerry has oftentimes said that Alan was easily the best drummer that he has ever played with...and, Jerry has played with Ron Wood, Neil Young, etc... I can watch a dozen different versions of Smart Patrol/Mr DNA on a loop for hours and be paralyzed by his brilliance

Laugh if you want to, or say you don't care...If you cannot see it, you think it's not there...It doesn't work that way! The best song on one of their best albums. I saw this concert when it was at the Warner Theater in DC.
A commercial for this specific Cleveland show led this then 12 year old to become a lifelong devo fan. (Years later we trekked to Akron to the mothersbaugh home to meet general boy and pick up an extra ticket for the 1988 Peabody’s concert)
Drag by my friend to the Devo Show at the Palladium In NYC and I am glad he did. They rocked the house with music and sonic visions that it is still in my head after many many years. Thanks!!!!
listened to the albums to death but never saw them live. A bit before my time (and ahead of my time I guess). My mind was blown to see MM come out as some kind of baby and sing beautiful world in falsetta 56:35. what the what??
I wasn't born in 1982 but I think Devo graphics and stage performance as a hole is still very futuristic even for today, in my opinion. They are hundreds of generations ahead.
Devo obviously exercised more creative control over their concerts than they did their albums. By this time, Warner Brothers hated them not least because they were sending royalty checks to John Hinckley Jr. whose sonnets were used in Devo's Christmas Carol, "I Desire".
I have witnessed de evolution ever since I was a young spud. This show contains one of the finest performances of Smart Patrol/Mr. Dna that they ever did! Even with technical issues for Bob 1. Duty now spuds!!!
Alan looks f’kn pissed off; especially noticeable on “That’s Good.” It’s a cryin’ shame how Mark & Jerry favored an electric drummer over The Human Metronome. They literally pushed him out the door.
Was the woman on stage @ 15:02 part of the act or was that a fan just up there having the time of there lives either way a very lucky person to get to jam it with devo on stage
It was a fan, yes. At 14:42 ish you can see Jerry (I think) notice the girl, even a few seconds later you can see him look off to what I assume is a part of security. Even Mark at 14:56 looks very confused. You can see her go off stage at 15:33
Huge Devo' Fan here... I know it was originally broadcast in anaglyph cyan/red 3-d, but the colors now in this video are so washed out as not to be useable... I wouldn't mind taking the time to run this through my AI upscale software to clean it up and then put it through a 3-d anaglyph converter for reupload... This Spud-Boy Mongoloid wants to see this video in the 3-d format it was intended... Otherwise, good job on fixing the audio track Thanks for the upload! ;)
I was wondering where all the 3-Devo shenanigans had gone and that's when I figured out you'd synced the audio from a different concert on this same tour. I suppose that Mark lambasting the producers multiple times and openly mocking the shitty 3-D technology is worth being sacrificed for the far superior audio/video sync you got here. Now, if only there was good video to go along with the several hi-fi recordings from the New Traditionalists tour.
legendary one of the best bands of all time for sure, nothing else near compare, thier lyrics are like 40 years ahead of time, if you look at them today, most folks still dont get it, many of the things in the lyrics came true
that is a moog source i believe. in addition, jerry was using a custom moog controller connected via 50-foot cable to two keyboardless minimoogs backstage (for 6-oscillator stereo bass sounds) and bob 2 was using a prophet-5 and jupiter-8
This tour was the end of the line for their drummer Allen Meyer, and basically the downfall for anything DEVO had created. Simply crass commercialism and lack of musicianship! On this tour the stage went from three guitars (one bass) to nothing but keyboards and pre-programmed computers and vocals, as you can hear.
The visuals didn't really make sense during peek a boo. With it being a song about how we put a mask over the dark side of human nature and pretend it's nit there, it would make more sense to show clips of crime and war
I absotulely L-O-V-E D-O-V-E - I truly AM a DEVO-TEE; but what a shane that thay becane the antithesis off what they sent out to been in the beguine! ... To cloose too FormUlaic, SPUDS ... slightly disappointment withs these prefromance.

Thankyou
DEVO is my number 1 favorite band thanks to my dad. I grew up on this.
I was at the boston gig. Totally a head-scratcher for many who were unprepared to view the future a few decades early with the video backdrop, but it was a memorable evening for this 16 year old. My brother, his friend and I had a great time. Glad the boot of this show exists!
I was also 16 when i saw this show in los angeles. I remember watching the first few songs, then a screen rose and the real band was behind the screen. Head scratcher is right.
I caught them in New Orleans on this tour. Absolutely brilliant how they had evolved since I had seen them two years prior..
I've seen the future and it sucks. We ended up in a bad multiverse compared to Devo's future.
Until my dying day, I’ll envy you that.
🤜🏻🤛🏻
I saw it in Philadelphia a couple weeks after this show (11-13). We got lucky and it went off without a hitch. It was a totally amazing show. I was 17 at the time and the tickets were $8.50-10 LOL
It is incredible how avant-garde this magnificent band is. The whole concept is totally advanced by several decades. Amazing!!!!
Good job. I saw this tour. I was 12. Had 102 degree fever. Met the band and got all their autographs. It was amazing.
This is peak Devo. Man, they were great.
So damn good. I wish I was around back then. This is the shit.
Allen seemed so happy and in place behind a normal drum kit!
He sure did! But this was the beginning of the end for him. Half of the show he was relegated to imitating a drum machine to a strict click track. He looks totally bored compared to years previous.
I saw this tour in December’82, Civic Center Music Hall, Oklahoma City, and it remains one of the top 3 best concerts I’ve ever seen in my life!
This was the 'end game' for their actual drummer Alan Myers. He quit when he found out his upcoming 'drumming' duties would be through a computer.
Agree. He was too much of a beast... that early Devo was monstrous.
An analog purist. He was so tight I always thought he was programming beats when I was young. Another tempo monster was Clem Burke, Blondie had a solid foundation with him....Still does!
patterns is such an underrated song. its so pretty
This was the first time I heard it and I love it

Seriously, how did I miss this?! This is AMAZING!!!!!

The human metronome.
Alan is getting his due 45 years on. Rock solid with timing that made their futuristic sound possible.
Now known as one of the best.
She's Out of Synch is outstanding live. They absolutely crush this. Perfection.
Laugh if you want to, or say you don't care...If you cannot see it, you think it's not there...It doesn't work that way!
The best song on one of their best albums. I saw this concert when it was at the Warner Theater in DC.
Good job on the Sync-up. Would love to see DEVO release this, put it out as "The Out of Sync" concert video, 😂
Saw this epic concert at the Cleveland Music Hall on November 9th of that year - I can't believe that was 40 whole years ago! THANK YOU for this!!

we used to think that the stage antics were really futuristic and cool in 1982 but looking back on it its really like a windows vista slideshow
I wasn't born in 1982 but I think Devo graphics and stage performance as a hole is still very futuristic even for today, in my opinion. They are hundreds of generations ahead.
Long live the mighty DEVO! That show was bliss from beginning to end.
Just amazing concert, I love DEVO.. Still listening in Chile 2021.. Thanks for sharing...

I only see 12 likes! Has the world gone mad?
@@MrTimBranston Devo would say so I am sure. The Church of the Sub-Genius has gone underground but it still exists.

A real envelope pushing band.and always ahead of the pack with ideas, style and sound experimentation. Legends and one quality set here.

Thank you. Love it!
Devo mixed many musical genres in perfect musical conception and that was real refreshment of that time in music industry
Time out for Fun reminds me off Funhouse by Iggy and the Stooges.
I envy my old man he was here when I was just a few months old effing love Devo.
mi banda favorita , gracias por existir DEVO me hace muy feliz bailar todas estas canciones
Bob casale is a genious dancing
What a magnificent show, truly legendary
Saw this tour. The best.
Alan looks f’kn pissed off; especially noticeable on “That’s Good.” It’s a cryin’ shame how Mark & Jerry favored an electric drummer over The Human Metronome. They literally pushed him out the door.
Seen this show in Tampa, I think it was Nov of 1982.
I was at the Sacramento Memorial gig 12/17/1982
Was the woman on stage @ 15:02 part of the act or was that a fan just up there having the time of there lives either way a very lucky person to get to jam it with devo on stage
It was a fan, yes.
At 14:42 ish you can see Jerry (I think) notice the girl, even a few seconds later you can see him look off to what I assume is a part of security.
Even Mark at 14:56 looks very confused.
You can see her go off stage at 15:33
She was a great dancer!
@@RealLoriSpencer really she was !
The most powerful prophecy of our times.
8:50 awesome.............................
this is probably my favorite song out of this album/tour
Yes, I believe I will listen to Deep Sleep twice in a row. That performance rocks so hard. I'm practically headbanging over here.
Total Master Performance!
Huge Devo' Fan here...

I wouldn't mind taking the time to run this through my AI upscale software to clean it up and then put it through a 3-d anaglyph converter for reupload...

Otherwise, good job on fixing the audio track Thanks for the upload! ;)
Did you do this?
@@miahsbrokengarage Not yet.. but hopefully someday soon... ;)
Any update?
i was at this concert in Cali.....universal studios amphitheater
I can't imagine being seated for this performance - nearly every song should be danced to!
I was wondering where all the 3-Devo shenanigans had gone and that's when I figured out you'd synced the audio from a different concert on this same tour.

Such a different version of The Girl You want. Fabulous show.
Guys this wasnt a recent concert. It happened a long time ago
F advertisers that put ads in middle of songs. Why does youtube allow this?
Absolutely GREAT!!!
The fuckin drummer killed it perfect.
Thanks

I saw this in L.A.
Tremenda performance!
absolutely fantastic

One hell of a drummer ... one hell of a band :)
good job on the sync.
Patterns and Big Mess were such classics. And in my opinion the obituary for this band.
I saw them on that tour in DC. October 1982, but I can't remember the date.
Bob 1 always has sick guitars. Hes the real deal.
This version of Patterns is amazing, holy shit.
Muscle tone, hair... Were we ever that young?
❤
19:33 - 24:02 is the best part of the show
19:33 to 26:45
The live is a dream for my
❤❤❤❤❤
What synth is that at 30:21? A model D? Can’t quite tell. I know they were big on Roland Juno’s and Jupiter’s at this point.
that is a moog source i believe. in addition, jerry was using a custom moog controller connected via 50-foot cable to two keyboardless minimoogs backstage (for 6-oscillator stereo bass sounds) and bob 2 was using a prophet-5 and jupiter-8
@@japoople Oh nice, so at least the MiniMoogs were still being used, I thought they ditched em entirely until around 1988.

Totally agree. A very sad performance, creativity is gone 😢
Big Mess is The current sad story state of affair in The white house and Washington
I dont know if anything xould sound more like 1983 then the opening to "speed racer"

What on earth is Mark stroking in the second song? Some weird synth concept that never took off? Love its sound btw, very subtle.

It’s an Omni chord!? I thought it was an autoharp
Anybody know what model that white guitar is?
I'm pretty sure it's a G&L , not sure which model. Designed by Leo Fender.
probably wont ever watch it, but your drive is decent!
