'''''Hardcore Devo Live!''''' is a concert film and live album, showcasing [Devo](/source/Devo)'s June 28, 2014, performance at the [Fox Theatre](/source/Fox_Oakland_Theatre) in [Oakland, California](/source/Oakland%2C_California) on the 2014 Hardcore Devo Live tour.<ref name="ClubDevo">{{cite web|url=http://www.clubdevo.com/2014/08/05/hardcore-devo-live-dvd-blu-ray-lp-cd-via-pledgemusic/|title=HARDCORE DEVO LIVE! DVD / Blu-Ray / LP / CD via PledgeMusic!  |website=clubdevo.com |date=August 5, 2014|accessdate=February 15, 2021}}</ref> The tour commemorates the 40th anniversary of the band and pays tribute to former band member [Bob Casale](/source/Bob_Casale), who died February 17, 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/devo-to-play-experimental-music-on-upcoming-hardcore-devo-tour-180070/ |title=Devo to Play 'Experimental' Music on Upcoming 'Hardcore Devo' Tour |website=[Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone)|last=Greene |first=Andy |date=March 27, 2014|accessdate=February 15, 2021}}</ref> The set list exclusively focuses on songs written between 1974 and 1977, before Devo had a recording contract. Many of the songs had not been performed by the band since 1977.<ref name="ClubDevo"/> While the music is largely performed as a quartet, the band is augmented offstage by Brian Applegate on additional keyboards and bass guitar.

The show is performed in two-halves; the first, focusing on earlier material, is presented with the band seated, in street clothes, with minimal lighting, as if the audience were watching them rehearsing in a basement. After "Midget", the band puts on blue coveralls, as worn in early live shows, adding songs that would later appear on ''[Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!](/source/Q._Are_We_Not_Men%3F_A%3A_We_Are_Devo!)'' (1978) and ''[Duty Now for the Future](/source/Duty_Now_for_the_Future)'' (1979). The band is joined on the final song of the night, "Clockout", by Bob Casale's son Alex on bass.

Interviews with the surviving band members, as well as [V. Vale](/source/V._Vale) and [Toni Basil](/source/Toni_Basil), are interspersed into the performance.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/hardcore-devo-live/Film?oid=17369507 |title=Hardcore DEVO Live!  |website=[Chicago Reader](/source/Chicago_Reader) |last=Jones |first=J.R. |date=|accessdate=February 15, 2021}}</ref> A "Concert-Only" option is available on the DVD and Blu-ray releases.
