I am 36 now and loved them before and during there peak and dropped off after oh no its devo - early 80`s started to listen to them again after getting my concert ticket and have a new found respect for there music. everyone talks about and loves freedom of choice and new traditionalists as i also do but i really dig all there old shit from the late 70`s ( are we not men and duty now for the future. ) seriously, trying not to sound like a cliche here, but they really were ahead of there time....kurt cobain from NIRVANA actually stated his biggest musical influence was mark motherborough from DEVO ...amazing! but as mentioned at the melb concert, they only played song from there first 5 albulms - suits me must admit, turned around to a childhood friend who was a big devo fan like myself and said "this is the best concert ever! after only 2 songs! TOTALLY AMAZING EXPERIENCE to see and hear the guys that took me through primary school, high school and puberty. brought back great memories in summary, not all the songs were played i thought - still new the words to every song played - but if your a true DEVO fan, you will just get off hearing the b side stuff. ......presently checking cheap flights to ADL anyone help me out or want to come ;).....not waiting another 25 years, lets face it, wont be happening again for a long time so lets go for it spuds! THE MELB CONCERT WAS AWESOME!!!!
