Watch Devo Play Max’s Kansas City In 1977

Watch Devo Play Max’s Kansas City In 1977

August 9, 2016 // Riot Fest

devo riot fest

In July of 1977, Devo played 3 nights at Max’s Kansas City in New York w/ The Cramps and Suicide.

Devo would of course play Max’s Kansas City a number of times after this, most famously on November 15th, 1977 when David Bowie introduced them on stage as “the band of the future!”

Here is some video from those nights. The image quality is not great, but the sound quality is pretty solid for being recorded 40 years ago.

July 8th:
(mix of both early & late set)
0:00 Smart Patrol/Mr.DNA
7:37 Sloppy (I Saw My Baby Gettin’)
11:09 Penetration In The Centerfold
15:21 Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy
22:50 The Words Get Stuck In My Throat

July 9th:
(late set)
28:04 Timing X
29:24 Soo Bawlz
31:53 Satisfaction
35:00 Too Much Paranoias
38:04 Penetration In The Centerfold
40:35 Mongoloid
44:22 Gut Feeling (cuts out)
