House of Blues, Anaheim~DEVO - Page 2

Ah, yes, Trent in the 'Hand That Feeds' video is pretty damn buffed.
Maybe the were slow because they hadn't toured in a while? Although, I think they played the night before in Vegas.

I'd imagine the sales would jump. People who were fans {like yourself

} already have the music but the folks who go get their ears opened up to new stuff. Did you hear after that '8' show bands like Pink Floyd saw a big jump in their sales? I heard they donated the new $$ to a charity.

Yeah, these blockbuster events are every promoters dream. They sure didn't used to be this way - it was mostly dinosaur bands on big ugly stages - but Perry Farrell's Lollapalooza turned that idea on its ear and make things really fun.

The Largest, Glastonbury Festival and the popular Coachella have a HUGE impact on record sales for the bands performing at these festivals.

I was never one to like the DinoFests, but I've really enjoyed Coachella.

heh, yes - ah that was a good year for SNL - I had a similar experience with the Talking Heads and recall tuning in a couple times expecting to see the Sex Pistols while they were on their US evasion and break-up tour.

I also must confess that I spent the night outside the Santa Monica Civic to get tickets to a Devo Concert (where the Flower Pot hat's debuted). They put on a great show back then.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah YEAH!

Sounds like you may have an uncontrollable urge - you know, the Anaheim HOB is in Downtown Disney...APs buring a hole in your pocket yet?

Ah...thought I'd post what I just saw about the San Diego HOB DEVO show...Postponed!! Their 2 shows, postponed! I don't know when it happened.

Ack! Any news on the Anaheim HOB?

Geez! They've got me jerkin' back and forth!!

I once got in a lot of trouble for impersonating the dude doing the seizure dance thingy in Devo's video for Satisfaction...

I guess it served me right that about 10 years later I would start having real seizures.

Oh that sucks!!!

I used to make fun of a guy with a mole on his ear...and that's all I'm going to say about that........

i've never seen DEVO live. i think August 5th will be a good time to put that to an end.

Not Afraid · 07-30-2005, 12:43 PM

I would love it if you would join us! You can keep me from being bored.

i just checked out the ticket info and all of the Southland shows are $60-$65. that seems a bit steep. its not so much the amount...its the principle. But then again, it is DEVO. has anyone heard how their recent performances on this tour have been like? perhaps they still live up to their reputation. i don't know.
