Help with DEVO concert dates!
Artsites
With the help of Dr. Watters' thorough "DEVO Bootleg Archive", Michael Pilmer
and others - I've been trying to put together a "complete" DEVO Tour
Timeline/Concert Dates list. To follow is what I've managed to compile thus
far (beginning with the "Q./A. Tour" in 1978), but I'm distributing this to
alt.slack.devo now with the hope that you'll each pull out those old ticket
stubs and write to me directly at Arts...@aol.com with any additional
information and/or corrections that you can provide! I am also working on
dates prior to "Q./A.", but that part is far too complicated at the moment to
list here! In any event, I do indeed hope to hear from you if you know about
anything i've omitted. . . Duty Now, Spuds!
