Devo to release long lost live album, Miracle Witness Hour — consequenceofsound.net

In 1977, Devo played an intimate show at The Eagle Street Saloon, a “biker bar turned total dive” in Cleveland, Ohio. Though the show was recorded for release, the corresponding tapes have been left to collect dust in the band’s archives for the last 37 years. Until now — that is. On December 1st, Futurismo will at last release that fabled show under a distinctly Devo title, Miracle Witness Hour. Each album track has been completely remastered by the band. The album will be available on 180 gram colored vinyl and as a Digipak CD. The LP’s outer sleeve has been die-cut, which reverses to reveal a second inner sleeve that contains rare and unreleased band photos and all-new liner notes penned by singer Gerald Casale. That’s the cover artwork above.
