Devo are fun. That's the bottom line and always will be. I haven't seen them live yet, but I'm sure it'll be a great show. And if it isn't, then I've only wasted £80 for two tickets, £50 on a Manchester hotel, and god knows how much on petrol to get to the gig!

My tickets arrived yesterday :)

We'll all Devo now...

Anyone on the verge of going to see them - GO.

I am gutted I can't make it.

You've talked me into it

I only have the Hot Potatoes compilation which is good. Must get one or two more albums before the gig. I remember John Peel playing Devo a lot in the early days and they sounded very weird at the time. Jocko Homo sounded so different from the punk / reggae stuff he was playing. Still think their version of Satisfaction is pure genius (up there with Walk on By as one of the best reworkings ever).

I do remember Hugh raving about the promos/live DVD - he was saying how brilliant it was. Must get that some time too.

See you there Toiler

Due to unforseen circustances I will not be in Scotchland to see the spuds.
Tottally gutted to miss it.
One of the very few bands I like I've yet to see live. Bet it's a blinder as well.

One of your usual excellent reviews Don, please.

Those after show parties always make me laugh - there's never any band members there and you can bet your arse there'll be a door fee

To be honest this is a new one on me.
I know that most DEVO gigs in the states are followed by an after-show gathering where band members do actually turn up.

Even if you're gonna be cynical, the Manchester 'after-show' only costs 3-4 quid! with a tribute band (maybe guests) and a bar until 3.00am!

EVERYONE'S A WINNER!
