Hardcore Devo Live!
Hardcore Devo Live! is a concert film and live album, showcasing Devo's June 28, 2014, performance at the Fox Theatre in Oakland, California on the 2014 Hardcore Devo Live tour. The tour commemorates the 40th anniversary of the band and pays tribute to former band member Bob Casale, who died February 17, 2014. The set list exclusively focuses on songs written between 1974 and 1977, before Devo had a recording contract. Many of the songs had not been performed by the band since 1977. While the music is largely performed as a quartet, the band is augmented offstage by Brian Applegate on additional keyboards and bass guitar.

The show is performed in two-halves; the first, focusing on earlier material, is presented with the band seated, in street clothes, with minimal lighting, as if the audience were watching them rehearsing in a basement. After "Midget", the band puts on blue coveralls, as worn in early live shows, adding songs that would later appear on Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978) and Duty Now for the Future (1979). The band is joined on the final song of the night, "Clockout", by Bob Casale's son Alex on bass.

Interviews with the surviving band members, as well as V. Vale and Toni Basil, are interspersed into the performance. A "Concert-Only" option is available on the DVD and Blu-ray releases.
