Duty Now for the Future (July 1979) - Devo

« Devo

By the time this record came out, Devo were one of my favorite bands. They played at UNCG's Aycock Auditorium in summer 1979.

I remember Paul Moorefield from The Flies, who had some hand in producing the show, asked to me MC the show. Silly me said no.

It was a strange show because Mark Mothersbaugh, dressed up as Boogie Boy, started throwing dollar bills out into the audience towards the end of the show. I think Devo were mad because the Flies were supposed to open up but they didn't.
