Title: Legendary
Review: Worth the price of admission. Three live shows for the price of one, all of them remarkable. In typical Devo fashion, the album starts with the later show (1977 if I recall correctly) and moves backwards toward their more confrontational, primitive and punky days. Quality-wise, it's a mixed bag, but it's all well worth listening to, even if only to hear early Devo in their element. At the end of the album is one of their earliest shows, opening for Sun Ra. Let's just say that I don't think anybody was still there when Sun Ra was ready to perform; Devo gleefully clear the house with what must have seemed at the time to be bizarre alien noise, along with a healthy dose of insulting the audience. In true mongoloid fashion, the audience responds with threats of violence. If the spud fits...
