Movie Reviews of Devo - Live 1980
Movie Review: Rubber City Rebels
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those gems that made it from a dusty vault onto DVD....and brings onto the screen the performance power packed by Devo.
By the time of this tour (1980, with the footage shot at a gig in Petaluma, Ca.), the band was riding a crest of "mainstream" popularity through the song Whip It and promotional music video - which remains one of the most unique merging of song and script - and the quirky love song, Girl U Want, as the pair became mainstays on FM "new wave" radio.
And though on the surface, Devo may have appeared to be nothing more than a novelty act, it was an incredibly talented band which put a premium on musicianship, with lyrics that was quite more than tongue-in-cheek stabs at rock-n-roll themes. The focus on the DVD is the music and the stage craft of the band; there are not the at times very obnoxious cutaways to audience members.
The band had come a very long way from its formative days in Akron, Ohio, when concerts often degenerated into the audience throwing anything available at the musicians to try to get them off the stage. These "rubber city rebels" are now in the big show, with a refined act that has to be seen to be appreciated.
