Nobody: These ↑ guys: ‘Waaaaaaaa I don't like how some other people express themselves!’ You realize they're using (shock! horror!) synthesizers and audio compression? You realize that there are _dozens_ of newer artists who use Mellodyne and Autotune on their records, who have appeared on the Tiny Desk Concerts without it? The cloud can't hear you, old man!
My old high school boyfriend discovered Devo before anyone else in the 80’s. He was always on top of new important music. We were engaged for a short time but remained friends over the decades. He recently died of a heart attack. Seeing Devo feels like Mike is still here. He would love this. Thanks for having classics on Tiny Desk like Devo, Nelly Furtado and Chaka Kahn. Soooo good.
That may be your opinion , it's not universal....are you saying they rock harder then Deep Purple? , they are out here ON TOUR , just released an ALBUM.......devo jammed a couple songs , big deal
Mark Mothersbaugh ... Mark Mothersbaugh.... Mark Mothersbaugh ... Mark Mothersbaugh.... the guy is really in the top 10 of UNDERRATED national treasures.
@@randyzeitman1354 Sims 2 soundtrack rocks! He did all of it, and expansion pack music too. Did not make the Devo connection right away but I loved Devo as a kid. Discovered them in the 1985 film, Fright Night!
Thank you for diving deep for the gems not just for us diehard fans but for those casual fans who need to hear the deep cuts to then truly understand what us Devotees have known all along.
DEVO played a free concert in Sproul Plaza on UC Berkeley campus back in 1988!! I happened by there that afternoon and was blown away and hooked for life. And I’m scrolling by and happened once again to stumble on this today to see that the legends live on!! Thank you Tiny Desk and NPR! How times have changed from strolling to scrolling!
I was there! I went to Cal 1986-1990. Seeing Devo for free at Sproul Plaza was so epic. I’ve been a Devo-tee since seeing them for the first time at the Warfield Theater in 1980 when I was only 12years old and in the 7th grade! 🙏
Hey, I saw Talking Heads in Sproul Plaza back around '79 while wandering around between classes. As a lifelong fan of the different, I was immediately hooked.
@@andyhampsten4252 That's some top talent that Berkeley booked for the campus, Talking Heads and Devo. One campus that I worked at had Southern Culture on the Skids perform; they're an excellent but rather niche group, not superstars. My undergrad and grad schools booked the likes of Chuck Berry and the Ramones -- but those were not free concerts, we had to buy a ticket. Whereas I stumbled across Southern Culture on the Skids simply by walking between buildings.
Yes and yes. 1978 was pivotal for me as well. Although Eno was already on my radar from Fripp and Roxy Music the release kinda blew it all wide open for me. And what a glorious rabbit hole it was.
Man, the 80's were such a magnificent time in the history of pop music: there were so many bands that were IMPOSSIBLE TO IMITATE, and Devo was right at the top of the list (along with The Police, the B-52's, the Talking Heads and many more). Brings tears to my eyes to see Mark Mothersbaugh singing again! TRUE ORIGINALITY!!!
You are so exactly correct!... and so cool to see them now that stripped down and personal! It was true back then, and is more true today. DEVO is past, present and future, thanks for being, boys!!!!(Spuds)
police, b-52, talking heads are more in late seventies - early early 80's. by the time florescent ski pants came most were not.. stop making sense was 84. police broke up in 84. b- 52 love shack 1989. after a long hiatus and the death of Ricky.
Saw Devo for the first time last year. I was a casual fan but I was totally stunned - they're among the best live acts I've ever seen. Now I am a huge fan! It was initially billed as a farewell tour, but they revoked that just as it began - I hope to see them back in the UK at some point. Outstanding performance here too!
I had seen them a few times before and hesitated to buy tix because I wondered if they could still put on a great show in their 70s and with original members now sadly passed. I needn't have worried--they were as great as ever.
I've loved this band for ages! Everyone used to look at me weird for listening to the "one-hit wonder Whip It" band. If only they knew what they were missing! Seeing them finally performing a Tiny Desk Concert was a pleasant surprise this morning!
Really great song choices. Wasn't expecting Blockhead, one of my faves of theirs! Also, Bob 1's guitar tone is one of my favourites in all of music. Just fantastic!
Saw them on SNL when I was 13... they were wearing yellow hazmat like suits -- have always just been amazed at the creativity and longevity of the band-- Beautiful world is my favorite of theirs ... this was a total blast, he's 74 and has the energy of his youth! amazing!
That is when I found Devo as well, a Saturday night live performance. I was babysitting and when the parents came home, they said, "What is THAT?" I did not know but I was determined to find out. The rest is history.
although praying hands and come back jonee are rather obscure songs by DEVO, they're two of my favorite. i was ecstatic when i saw them play them in this video :)
OMG what a joyous Friday Night Find !!! DEVO -killed- it in the early 1980s - and to see them now - jeepers they STILL GOT IT - amazing show - thank you NPR and D-E-V-O!
This was a nice treat! Love Devo, saw them at the Tower theater in Upper Darby Pennsylvania in 1978 and it definitely had a huge impact on me at the age of 13!
This was AWESOME!!!!!!! It's great to see that these guys haven't mellowed at all over the years! DEVO always brings it! Thank you to Tiny Desk for having them on ❤👍
They're just amazing... in 2006 Devo announced a concert in Chile, but then it was suspended... my heart was broken. Then in 2014 they came again to a festival & a side show alone... all the energy and good vibes on stage was just amazing... ❤❤❤❤
I’m shocked they didn’t do Whip It and so glad they pulled out these gems instead!! Pleasantly surprised! I’m a diehard Devotee so this was really special. 🙏🏻❤
We are not men, we are Devo. I'm forever a Blockhead. If this band is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame let's put them in while we're all still alive! 😄

Agree
RRRRrright
Especially because the messages are still relevant and good music is timeless
Tiger blood baby
Now , more than ever!
Tiny Desk is on a roll with all these legends 🤘🏼.
Absolutely. We need the music that makes us remember the days of old in the midst of society's woes today.
"Worried Man"! It's like it was written for 2024.
So is " Wonderful World"
I play this song with an 'old-time' ensemble doing it in a traditional blue-grass sort of way. I'd totally forgotten about this DEVO version! :-)
@@RyanMichero and Blockhead and Praying Hands. haha
@@RyanMichero 😽
Originally recorded in 1930.
I absolutely love that they played the deep cuts
these were originally the hits!
Forever asking people what they are doing with their hands.
Diddling, mostly.
Certainly deep but not the deepest... 😅
@@bonniefinleyanimation I mean worried man hasn't been played live for 40+ years and it wasn't on an album so I'd say that's a fairly deep cut.

I have a friend who has passed who also introduced me to Devo. Many night time car adventures in high school to Devo album. 1980-82
They formed in ‘73. Are you telling me they played to absolutely nobody for 7 years until some nobody in a flyover state “discovered” them?
@@evanelston105A flyover state?! Like (Akron) Ohio?? Curious diss.
An extraordinary band. And live these Spuds could Rock. The prognostication of Devolution was dead on. We’re all Devo now !
These guys rock harder than 95 percent of the new bands out there today….
And they’ve been doing it for over 50 years, let that sink in. Masters.
With each passing day, DEVO proves how far ahead they were/are...Agree with @colin-nekritz. Masters
That may be your opinion , it's not universal....are you saying they rock harder then Deep Purple? , they are out here ON TOUR , just released an ALBUM.......devo jammed a couple songs , big deal
Thanks npr and Devo for making me feel old, surely 1984 was 20 years ago
Isn't it. I remember my first pair of leather sneakers. LOL
1984 will always be 16 years ago, just how a 2000 car is brand new. My brain stopped calculating dates properly since the Y2K scare.
I never stopped listening to them and have seen them in concert a few times over the years. So not a big deal. 😂
As someone who was born in 1984 I can assure you that it’s the 20th anniversary of 1984 being 20 years ago
It’s weird how the mid 80s still seems like it was 20 years ago 😢

Whip It isn’t even one of their top 20 best songs 🤷🏻♂️
Are We Not Men? We Are DEVO!
It's a wiggly world...
That's got to be one of the greatest Tiny Desk Concerts...Devo absolutely crushing it...
I agree 100%. It should be released as EP.

Devo….. way ahead of there time, brilliant. RIP Alan Meyers. One of my favorite drummers
Myers
and RIP Bob C
He played on a Ronnie woods album
Oh, that Alan!
Dude was a machine on the drums
Man, that Blockhead performance was completely 100% on point
Mocking the audience is pure punk rock
It's a dumb complaint but the groove just doesn't feel right without Alan. Not tight and robitic enough.

It's a beautiful world we live in, a sweet romantic place.
These guys are on point…. Dont mess with these classy boys…
