In 1977 \u003cstrong\u003eDEVO\u003c\/strong\u003e played an intimate show to an eager handful at biker bar turned total dive \u003cstrong\u003eThe Eagle Street Saloon\u003c\/strong\u003e in Cleveland, Ohio. Unbeknown to those canny onlookers, they were to testify to the healing power of DEVO! But what of us now? Beautiful mutants fear not, \u003cstrong\u003eFUTURISMO\u003c\/strong\u003e are here to rectify your late party syndrome. Televised through the antennas of time we give you DEVOs’ most intimate unreleased live record ever - Miracle Witness Hour!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased for the first time on any format, this remastered document of de-evolution is finally given the attention it truly deserves. A rare glimpse into the embryonic stages of the groundbreaking band way before the masses knew how to ‘whip-it good’, the \u003cem\u003eMiracle Witness Hour\u003c\/em\u003e boasts primal versions of the bands most recalled avant-pop songs such as ‘\u003cem\u003eJocko Homo\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eMongoloid\u003c\/em\u003e’ moments before \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Eno\u003c\/strong\u003e got his hands on them, juxtaposed against some of their rarer experimental gems. Seemingly fitting for the kind of off the wall experience that would have DEVO’s dehumanised art house sci-fi set against the backdrop of Eagle Streets’ dingy and ruptured old world interior.\u003cbr\u003eSynonymous with innovative ideology, it was only a few months later that David Bowie would declare them “the band of the future!” but it was at the \u003cem\u003eMiracle Witness Hour\u003c\/em\u003e that DEVO were already proving that the future was already happening. Like surrealist preachers transmitting a challenge to the preconceptions of pop music, it’s the playful live imperfections in this recording that genuinely make the \u003cem\u003eMiracle Witness Hour\u003c\/em\u003e an original and intimate experience - so intimate that you can make out individual handclaps of the sparse crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis FUTURISMO release revitalises this event with exciting artwork and packaging that enforces the bands forward thinking approach to the aesthetics that shaped the following decade. The outer sleeve comes die-cut revealing the box-fold reversible cover inner sleeve, containing a second sleeve and housing rare images as well as brand new liner notes by DEVO founding member \u003cstrong\u003eGerald Casale\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Futurismo","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":55791138832729,"sku":"SDZ-09351","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Devo_-_Miracle_Witness_Hour__Live_In_Ohio_1977__-_CD_-_2025_Reissue.jpg?v=1753462277","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/devo-miracle-witness-hour-live-in-ohio-1977-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
