-The sound man apparently thought he was correcting the sync on DEVO’s backing track (the one on the film), when in reality, but the offset was supposed to be there to enable the band to keep sync. During “Speed Racer”, the band begins to lose sync with the film, and try to stop the show during “Big Mess”, to no avail. “Big Mess” is barely played, but we do get to see the whole backing video and hear Alan and Jerry accompany the click track.”

=======================================

The show was on Halloween Eve, the audience wore costumes.

The pay per view company did not synch the sound from the film with the live performance.

The pay per view company wanted to do it in 3-D and Devo didn’t. At the end of the show “Booji Boy’ makes fun of the lame 3-D.

In the book about devo they say there were lawsuits because of the poor job the pay per view did.

Devo won but I don’t know if they own the rights to the show.

It has been said that the lawsuit necessitated the company destroying the original tapes of the show. Therefore, only bootleg tapes of the show remain.

The bootleg of this show is quite a miraculous find. It is a full recording of the live broadcast, including all errors. The quality is a tad fuzzy (being an old VHS) and the 3D can get annoying, but for listening it is excellent. Sadly, the audio suffers; in headphones, you may find it very muffled and saturated with an annoying buzz. This is all that exists from 1982 in terms of video, though; it’s worth it, just for the screen films and the wonderful audience shots (everyone was in some kind of costume.)

This show began without a hitch… until Speed Racer. At the end of the song, the band goes completely out of sync with Alan and Gerry being the only ones in time with the screen. Evidently a delay intended to keep the sound in line with the video was removed, but only from the Bobs and Mark. (At the end of Speed Racer, we can see Jerry stop playing, put his head in his hands, and shake his head in frustration.) Meanwhile, the click track is suddenly played over the PA. Mark runs around trying to fix things as Alan and Jerry play the rhythm section (which is in time with the screen).

The problem is fixed, and the show continues on quite amazingly. Explosions is played for the only time ever as well. During Jocko Homo, a girl comes out with a plate of random objects and during the “call/answer” section Mark comes up to the camera and apologizes for what a terrible idea broadcasting this in 3D was. To make up for it, he says, he’s going to show a wide array of 3D effects. However, this “wide array” is simply a hilarious presentation of a bunch of toffee containers with those cloth snakes that pop out of them at the camera. For the encore he sprays fake popcorn, fake mustard (a string), a fake camera with a phallus that sticks out of the “lens”, and an extending rack with large underpants on them (dedicated to Mark’s mom, “who gave her brain to the lord.”)

Booji Boy hates the 3D idea a lot; during Beautiful World he explains they were forced to live in barrels and walk around on all fours to make the project occur. Some confetti is abruptly sprayed on him, which he claims was “not our idea”. (Jerry: “There’s another stupid idea.”)
