in 1983, the band mounted an ambitious stage show in support of "kilroy was here" featuring theatrical presentations of three songs utilizing instrumental backing tracks, including "mr. roboto", which featured deyoung singing live while disguised as a roboto, "heavy metal poisoning" with young as the evangelist dr. righteous singing while the panozzo brothers acted as his henchmen on stage, and "haven't we been here before" with shaw as jonathan chance and deyoung (as kilroy in roboto costume) duetting. the elaborate show was expensive to produce and was not as profitable as previous tours.
