This mythic performance captures Devo perfecting some of their most iconic concepts in the raw. Expertly restored, this live recording makes for a thrilling experience, it also captures Devo as a lightning rod for hostility. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn Halloween 1975, Devo took the stage at the WHK Auditorium in Cleveland, in a supporting capacity for jazz legend Sun Ra, to perform for a raucous crowd dressed in the finest of Halloween cliché. Already riding high on Nitrous Oxide and booze supplied by the sponsoring radio station, this unaware horde was expecting to see a slick cover band churning out renditions of Bad Company hits, only to be subjected to an act of subversive performance art that would send the growingly aggravated crowd into eventual meltdown. Physical threats ensued, but Devo played on. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eActing as a live companion release to Futurismo's much lauded Art Devo, the track list featured here showcases the origins of de-evolution theory in a live setting. These songs would become some of their most famous material, with this recording believed to be the very first time 'Jocko Homo' was performed in front of a live audience; the full 12-minute version documented here is sure to please fans, even if it displeased the urban hippies and horror masked onlookers that evening. Whilst Devo may have felt they were trapped inside a negative energy vortex during that era; it is clear in retrospect that the band was using this energy to carve out the genesis of a sonic and visual art that has truly stood the test of time. The music performed that evening would mutate culture for decades to come, long after the denizens of the auditorium packed away their cheap vampire costumes and returned to their day jobs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpanning 2xLP's of unreleased live material, most of which has never been heard before, this wondrous performance draws purely from that integral early history. Mixed and mastered directly from recordings kept in the band's personal vaults, this live collection showcases why Devo was, and still is, one of the most important bands in American history. De-evolution is real. The art of DEVO is real. Here is the evidence. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 2xLP is housed in a gloss laminated wide spined sleeve. It has a track list that has been sourced directly from the archives and contains color inner sleeves and a fold-out containing archival imagery and liner notes by Gerald V Casale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hollow Bone Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53271334781152,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5128\/files\/4511861-3576502.jpg?v=1782925080","url":"https:\/\/www.hollowbonerecords.com\/products\/devo-nitrous-nightmare-75-lp","provider":"Hollow Bone Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
