Devo - (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction (Rolling Stones cover)

We saw Devo at Hollywood Park last night. It was terrific.  The band played all the old favorites plus a few from their new album and sounded great.  Lots of fun. I still can’t believe I didn’t have an energy dome to wear for the occasion.

“He was nice enough to us, but he was kind of aloof. We put the tape in and he has a glass of wine and his hand. He sits down in a chair and starts listening. He is not moving, he is not looking at us. He is looking off with no expression on his face. We go “Oh No”. He gets up, turns it up, puts his wine on the mantle on the fireplace and actually starts around the room like Mick Jagger. (In his best Mick expression) “I like it, I like it.” It was a moment that I will never forget.”

- Jerry Casale, Devo, when asked “Have any members of the Rolling Stones ever commented to you on your clever cover of “Satisfaction”?
