'Mongoloid' / 'Satisfaction' Performances

Devo on stage, November 1977

The 'Mongoloid' / 'Satisfaction' performances refers to a series of concerts held by Devo between March of 1977 and January of 1978 to promote those singles.

## Background

Throughout 1977 Devo toured very hard to get their name out there. Beforehand the group had only done one off performances and a three month residency at The Crypt nightclub, but afterwards, the group toured all throughout the country to promote their Monogloid and Satisfaction singles. These performances were very popular and successful, and lead to the production of their first album.

During this period the group wrote and debuted much of their first album. Recordings from it were officially released on *The Mongoloid Years* and *Miracle Witness Hour.* A professionally recorded concert at Mabuhay Gardens on August 3rd, 1977 became one of the most popular Devo bootleg recordings.
