New Wave legends beamed into your eyeballs in actual 1982 3-D. Yes, really.
3-DEVO took place on October 30, 1982, at the Warner Beverly Hills Theater in Beverly Hills, California. It was filmed and transmitted live in 3-D to college campuses around the country. This is the original broadcast, not the late rebroadcast that was edited significantly.

This aired weeks before Michael Jackson's Thriller, making it one of the last gasps of experimental music television before MTV fully commercialized.
Most viewers watched in campus auditoriums with cardboard glasses—only a handful of home viewers had early 3-D TV tech.
