Oh, to be 17 again and see this for the first time in the forgotten, underrated 1981 punk rock documentary DOA! I don’t know if I could turn on an adult to this performance the way my friends and I were turned on while seeing this film at a midnight showing at either Philadelphia’s TLA or Tower Theater.
I’m not one to look back too fondly on my teenage years, but this captures a great moment. Is there a musical performance captured on film or video that makes you long to be 17 again?
I’ve been watching the first 5 years of SNL & I would have to say that seeing DEVO makes me long to be 17 again as it was my very first concert that summer w/my great high school friend John.
Another performance would be this, since my said friend bought the album & we played it a lot @ his place after many blah days of high school:
