Dear all,

In case you haven't seen it yet here's the un-broadcast clip of Devo's Satisfaction from 1978.

Thanks for that Tony! Always good to see a bit of Devo. I was listening to 'Are we not men' the other day on a really good set of speakers and thinking it really is a classic album of its kind

Any ideas why it was not broadcast in the first place?

I'd guess that it fell off the charts prior to broadcast.

Thanks so much for pointing this up.

Devo’s first two albums are brilliant. They’ll be playing this, one of the best covers ever, in a thousand years time.

That could well be the case

If memory serves I think there is some precedent for groups who were not actually in the charts being given air time on TOTPs, but I could be wrong!

Here's another one they've posted. The Manhattan Transfer 'Birdland' from c.December 1979. They were on Parkinson at about the same time.
