Movie Reviews of Devo - Live in the Land of the Rising Sun
Movie Review: Worth every penny despite song selection...
Summary: 5 Stars
...and I ONLY say this because I'm in total agreement with a few other reviewers who remark how the song selection is way too similar to the Lollapalooza '96 DVD. Someone in another Devo review referred to NEW TRADITIONALISTS as a "sellout" album; well, he's entitled to his opinion, but that remains my favorite Devo album (so sue me)...man, I would have loved to hear live renditions of "Through Being Cool" and "Beautiful World." I can't help wondering how the Mothersbaugh/Casale clan feel about that record today...do they dislike it as well?
No matter, really. This is a fantastic concert recording and, as you've already heard, a must for Devo fans around the world. Just watched it last night for the first time (thank you, Netflix) and found myself feeling the old energy I used to get from their heyday. Hated to see the DVD end. Loved seeing the Tokyo kids getting such a rush from seeing their spudboy heroes live in concert. And again, as one other reviewer mentioned, the interview segments between songs are great; Gerald and Mark still have their senses of humor intact, as well as their keen observations of how the world is even more F'd up now than it was 28 years ago (3 cheers for Gerald's referring to the retarded cowboy in the White House!). Oh, one other thing: I've been wanting to get a Pug puppy for a long time. Seeing Gerald and Mark with their Pug companions at their side has only reinforced my determination. <grin>
They may be a little grayer, a little more long in tooth, but they've still got it...and God love 'em, it's obvious that they were having a blast doing this show. I've been a fan since first seeing them on Saturday Night Live back in 1978 and have never had the good fortune to see them live. In one of the interview segments, Gerry and Mark both stated that the 2004 Tokyo concert was a "rarity" and implied that it might not happen again. I hope that's not the case...I'll drag out my somewhat faded and now-tighter-fitting black Devo T-shirt with white lettering and go see them anytime. "Hey SPUDS!...Do you want MORE???" You'd better believe we do, Gerry.
