Trivia

• The first half of the set (songs before the FOC Theme) were played against a sync video track that was projected behind the band
• Neither Come Back Jonee, Satisfaction, or the DEVO Corporate Anthem were played during the disastrous debut show of this tour and Explosions was played in the second half of the set
• The oh, no! it's DEVO tour lasted from 1982-10-30 to 1982-12-31
• The "1982-83" "World Tour" is a joke by Devo. The New Year's Eve '82 show (may have) lasted past midnight, and except for the 1982-11-10 show in Canada, all dates were in the US
• The most recent CD release is by Warner Music Japan, in 2008, with no bonus tracks
