Hardcore Devo Live! is a concert film and live album, showcasing the June 28th, 2014 performance at the Fox Theatre in Oakland, California of Devo's 2014 "Hardcore Devo Live" tour. The tour commas to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the band, and pay tribute to former band member, Bob Casale who died February 17th, 2014. 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. While the music is largely performed as a quartet, the band is augmented, off-stage, 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, working in more famous songs that would later appear Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! and Duty Now for the Future. The band is joined on the final song of the night, "Clockout," by Alex Casale, Bob Casale's son, on bass.

Interviews with the surviving band members, as well as V. Vale and Toni Basil are interspersed into the performance. A "Concert-Only" option is available on the DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
