Creative Arts Festival, 1974

The 1974 Kent State Universirty Arts Festival was an arts festival notable as the first concert of DEVO proper.

Background
In the year between performances, the lineup of DEVO had changed significantly. Fred Webber's role as vocalist had been taken up by Gerald Casale, Bob Mothersbaugh was brought on as a third guitarist, and Jim Mothersbaugh replaced Rod Reisman on drums.

On April 13th, 2021, fouding member of DEVO Bob Lewis uploaded concert audio from the first 39 minutes of the show. A newspaper advert from the time details the same setlist plus two songs not incldued in the tape 'Ono' and 'All of Us'. In the comments Lewis recalls that these tracks were performed, increasing the runtime of the show to 44 minutes. It's possible that the concert overan and was stopped after Ono, because without technical issues between tracks, the show should have lasted only 41.
