Promoting the Duty Now for the Future & Freedom of Choice albums respectively. I remember when DEVO first appeared on DKRC in 1979. Like many of the episodes I watched it with my Dad. The spastic, quirky movements of the band, along with the some times atonal quality of the music, made an impression to say the least. My Dad sat quietly through the whole performance. When it ended my Dad stood up, shut off the TV and asked, "You listen to these guys son?" I replied "Yeah Dad I have both their records." My Dad looked at me and said, "Now I know You smoke dope."

This is a great performance and should make a fine addition to any DEVO fan's collection.

  1. Devo - top 5 in my book, many thanks for this share! May I suggest this recent interview from the Lefsetz podcast? Mark is engaging and an excellent story teller. Learned a lot about him and the formation of Devo. Cheers! https://omny.fm/shows/the-bob-lefsetz-podcast/mark-mothersbaugh
