Devo Live 1980 Available On DVD On July 12, 2005 Through Music Video Distributors Oaks, PA - Music Video Distributors and Devo Inc. are pleased to announce the home viewing release of the DEVO – Live 1980 for worldwide distribution on DVD. Although hard to fathom nowadays, there was a time when there was no MTV. In fact, rock music visuals on TV were usually delegated strictly to the weekend, when you had to burn the midnight oil to catch Saturday Night Live, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, the Midnight Special, or Friday's. And mostly, it was either straight-ahead live performance footage, or else blah lip-synched stuff, with the musicians playing to an empty arena on the afternoon of a show. This all changed with DEVO. Even if you missed catching DEVO live and ‘in the flesh,’ you had a decent chance to see them on the tube, as they were one of the few acts to appear on all of the aforementioned programs. The only problem was that bands were only given a handful of songs to perform on these shows. That’s where Live 1980 comes in handy. It’s becoming rare nowadays for full-length shows to have survived from this era, but that’s what this DVD is all about – a full-length live set, just as Whip It was beginning to make DEVO a household word. And while all the group’s hits up to this point are included, hardcore spuds will enjoy such run-throughs of the obscurities It’s Not Right, Pink Pussycat, and Swelling Itching Brain.
