So sad to hear of the death of Bob Casale, Devo’s “Bob 2.” Here’s a repost of an earlier item about the iconic band.
If I had to consider every musical performance in Saturday Night Live history, I would vote for Devo’s cover of “Satisfaction” on the October 14, 1979 episode as the best of all. Performed just a week after the Rolling Stones was the program’s musical guest, this reimagination did for the head what Michael Jackson’s Motown 25 showstopper later did for the feet: It was moonwalking with the brain. It took soul and put it into a new machine.
Watch the SNL version here. Below is the official video.
