Devo made their long-awaited debut on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert, celebrating their 50th anniversary with a lively four-song performance featuring original members Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Mothersbaugh, and Gerald Casale. They opened with the rare track "It Takes a Worried Man," which had not been performed live in over 40 years, and was originally recorded for Neil Young's 1982 film, Human Highway. The band continued with fan favorites including "Blockhead," "Praying Hands," and "Come Back Jonee," showcasing their innovative blend of art-punk and humor. Their anniversary celebrations also included a career-spanning collection titled 50 Years Of De-Evolution (1973-2023) and the premiere of their first official documentary. The performance highlighted Devo's significant influence on the new-wave and electronic music genres, emphasizing their unique artistic identity and legacy. With playful banter and engaging stage presence, the band reiterated that their brand of 'de-evolution' is anything but depressing.
