"Somewhere in Time" is really the clincher on this CD--addictive, even--, but if you've seen the spudboys in concert (and I have, three times!), this CD is the next best thing and may even give you goosebumps! (shiver) Better than their 1980 Live CD, fer sure.

I am preparing to see Devo live this October, and while searching through their catalogue I saw this CD. I never knew this CD existed, and while I should be fair in mentioning that I don't actually have it, I WAS AT THIS SHOW!! This was the last time I saw DEVO, during my college days, and this show is/was still one of the best I've ever seen. First, they blew the audience away with an opening acoustic set - imagine DEVO in the yellow suits sitting on stools - that included some unpredictable numbers like "jocko homo." Second, they left and returned with the flower pots (okay "energy domes", and played an electrifying tour through most of their greatest songs. Remember, this was a time when DEVO was waning. Most of us original fans exited after "Shout" - it was just too, well, synthesized and without edge. But this show restored the faith, at least for their live performances. I'm looking forward to seeing them again after 16 years. Oh yeah, I still carry a scar on my right hand from taking a stage dive at this show and landing on some broken glass on the floor. Memories.
 Good quality live versions of the hits March 29, 2005

This is a live CD with very good sound quality and little audience noise. There is some cheering and talking between tracks, but it does not get in the way of the music. The CD is 60 minutes long. All of the tracks, but the last is under 4 minutes. The last is an 11 minute medley, jam. They were better off sticking to short songs.
To calibrate my views on this: I was never a huge Devo fan, but I did like some of their tracks, and enjoyed the novelty of the group and whole new wave movement for a few years. I like about half of the songs on the CD. The group does a very nice job of playing them, but it isn't much different than the studio versions. For a big Devo fan, this would probably be a great album, because there is a little bit more fun and energy the group put into the songs when playing them live.
This album came out when the whole new wave movement was already dead. Most bands had disbanded, and were already going on reunion tours. Devo was the same. This CD is somewhat of a surprise, because the reunion tours of many other new wave bands were poorly done, and the live albums were poorly recorded.
The best thing that can be said for Devo and New Wave is that they created a new buzz and excitement in music, back when things were going stale. It is like alternative that followed in the early nineties, or rap in the late nineties. (I'm not a fan of rap, but at least it was something enegizing music in the time of the boy bands).
Accoustic Jocko Homo worth the price alone December 19, 2004

A very very good album. My favourite versions of many songs.
An awesome medley at the end. You don't own all their albums if you don't have this one ( duh ).
Consume, Sleep, crack that whip!
