DEVO in Morningside Park 7/22/2004 setlist

by Posted on

The boys looked old, but they played hard and rocked my world. Here’s what you missed:

  • good thing
  • girl U want
  • whip it
  • sat­is­fac­tion (gui­tar sound­ing eeri­ly like Snakefin­ger’s licks on the Res­i­dents’ ren­di­tion of same. Extra points for “how white my shit could be.”)
  • uncon­trol­lable urge
  • mon­goloid
  • block­head
  • jocko homo (includ­ing the “I’ve got a rhyme that comes in a rid­dle” inter­lude found on the ver­sion of the song on B Stiff)
  • spud patrol/mister dna
  • gut feeling/slap yo mammy
  • gates of steel (Mark’s voice was start­ing to give out here, but I’m glad they played it.)

11 songs is a decent set, I think, for a show played for a thin­ning crowd of run­ners who were on for the “what­ev­er hap­pened to” gim­mick. Hope­ful­ly tomor­row will be a lit­tle longer, but we’ll see. What could they do tomor­row that they did­n’t do tonight to make me hap­py? Play B Stiff, that’s what.

Aside to dra­cun­cu­lus: see­ing DEVO after com­plet­ing the10K felt like a hero’s reward.

Aside to euthymia: yes, that was me prank call­ing you from the mid­dle of what must have sound­ed like a DEVO show.

Aside to jen­ny­bloog and xris3: I’m real­ly sad you weren’t there to enjoy the whole thing with me.

    Saw Devo last night too. It rained like hell, but the show went on. Sum­mer­stage in Cen­tral Park is cov­ered, so the bands stay dry even if the fans are drowning.

    D00d, I know what you mean!

    When I dropped you off, I could tell this was going to be a “one-of-a-kind” event. I’m glad; at least you had a blast.
    I’ll keep my eyes open for some­thing like this in the future.

    Hey, who found out about this even originally?

    Devo was mag­ni­fi­cient in Port­land on Sun­day, 8/1 after the 10K. After run­ning poor­ly, they were quite a treat. Beats see­ing The Dead.
