Still my favorite CD - Amazing!
I'm guessing it must be a favorite of many people to still be in print after so long, continuously in print I believe. It's been about 20 years since NICBT was released, and this is still my favorite album - live or otherwise, out of a collection of over 400 CD's. This show was simply amazing from start to finish - a finish that came much, much too soon for me. DEVO knew how to build a show to an amazing climax and this is a perfect example of that. Don't miss this one.


Not so great, you can pass and not miss much
Next two songs are also acoustic and equally long and boring. Album begins as a real snoozer, with a set of acoustic numbers, yawn, jocko-homo, always seemed a little long on the albums and it is reallllllllllllllllly looooooooong here, like it will NEVER END. DEVO is not an acoustic band. The rest just sounds like the same songs on the album, but a bit slopier. Quite probably the ugliest album cover ever conceived. Who cares, this is an easy pass.


Good live recording
Yes,this is a very good live devo cd i definatley recommend this plus it has many many good songs on it.


I don't even LIKE live CDs, BUT THIS ONE'S GOOD!
"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.


Duty Now for the Past
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. I am preparing to see Devo live this October, and while searching through their catalogue I saw this CD. 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.
