DEVO Live: The Mongoloid Years is a live album consisting of recordings from three early DEVO performances, one at Max's Kansas City on November 15th, 1977, The Crypt in Akron in December 1976, and the WHK Auditorium in Cleveland, Halloween 1975.

The performance of Jocko Homo from 1975 allegedly went on for half an hour, but was edited for this release.
