You're going to have a heck of a time keeping your energy dome on the ol' noggin while listening to this corker (as my pal the Vinyl Villain would say). The following is taken from a live six-song EP recorded at San Francisco's Fox Warfield Theatre on Aug. 16, 1980. Nineteen years later, Rhino would release the show -- almost in full -- with the same cover as the EP. It appears to be physically out of print but still available as a download.
Here's a surprising bit of trivia for you. One year after this show, for three weeks, the 'DEV-O Live' EP would be a No. 1 hit on the Australian singles chart.
I made the editorial decision to combine "Freedom of Choice Theme Song" and "Whip It" into one file because they run together on my vinyl. The break would be too abrupt.
