Background: On December 31, 1979, Devo delivered one of the most iconic and conceptual performances of their career at the Long Beach Arena, capping off the decade by opening for themselves under the alter-ego "Dove, The Band of Love"—a satirical, clean-cut Christian lounge-rock group that performed gospel-tinged covers of Devo tracks like Praying Hands and Gates of Steel alongside Bob Dylan's Gotta Serve Somebody to a confused audience. Transitioning into their main Devo set, the band premiered early live renditions of seminal synth-pop tracks off their then-unreleased Freedom of Choice album—including early versions of Whip It and Girl U Want—before bringing in the New Year at midnight with frontman Mark Mothersbaugh onstage dressed in a diaper and mask as "Baby New Year" during U Got Me Bugged, complete with oversized, crowd-jolting indoor pyrotechnics.
