I caught DEVO in Seattle this weekend. It was a great show because it ended at 8pm and I didn’t have to stay up past midnight. And oh yeah, it was also a great show! They played for around an hour and a half or more, including a couple of quick costume changes. Aside from a couple songs in the first third of the set where it seems to drag a little, the rest of the night was very high energy. They opened with “Don’t Shoot (I’m A Man)” off Something For Everyone, and the rest was a mix of songs from Are We Not Men, Oh, No! It’s Devo, Freedom Of Choice, and Duty Now For The Future before closing with a guest appearance from Booji Boy singing “Beautiful World” off New Traditionalists. I found myself with a big stupid grin involuntarily plastered on my face the whole time, and Booji nearly brought me to tears with no alcohol or drugs involved! I highly recommend seeing them live if you can. Skateboarding? During “Freedom Of Choice” they showed some of the original music video footage shot at Marina del Rey skatepark on the big screen. We’re all DEVO.
