Are We Not Men Tour

The Are We Not Men Tour was the first world tour by American band DEVO. It was designed to promote the album of the same name.

Releases
Despite no live album from this tour existing, the Are We Not Men tour is surprisingly well documented on three concert films (Two televised and one released on home media), and four separate radio broadcasts.

The radio broadcasts have never been given full home media releases, although, they are easily found on bootlegs. Audio from the November 3rd show was released on the Recombo DNA compilation.
