* To my ears, this sounds exactly like the Secret Agent Man video found on DEVO's legendary (and official) The Complete Truth About De-Evolution. Therefore, I have removed this track even though it is on the vinyl...and to keep myself from getting banned!

A good (not outstanding) vinyl transfer of a powerful DEVO show. Some pops and crackles are evident, but don't detract at all from the recording, which was mixed very well. Snippets of the DJ are also evident, exposing this as an FM-broadcast!
Whatever the origins of the tracks in my hands (and now in yours), this show is NOT just for completists - it is for ANY fan of Rock 'N Roll.

When I received this, I was told it was transferred from the "Visit the DEVO Nudist Camp Near You" bootleg LP, but that cover-art does not list the DEVO Corporate Anthem or Red Eye Express. But, the Secret Agent Man on this recording is obviously part of the original vinyl transfer (pops/crackles are evident), which (to me) tends to make the "Nudist Camp" LP the likeliest source. Perhaps there is a DEVO-tee who can add some clarity?

I saw the Spudboys perform a maximum rock 'n roll show at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC the other day (15 November 2009), and although I don't record live shows, I am posting this to add to the stuff in circulation.

I have enclosed the cover art.
