I seen them about 16 years ago at a university orientation gig in Christchurch New Zealand. I've been to more concerts than most and they are one of the gigs
They're touring this year! I was looking up to see if people were still enjoying them live and from what I've seen so far people who have seen them in recent years say the shows have been very good!
I was 13 when this came out and it still hits just as hard. Just an incredible band that perhaps those outside that era don't quite grasp but as Rebecca mentioned they are on tour again. Would love to see them.
Was lucky enough to see them in early '80s, in a bar on OSU campus. None of my friends wanted to go. I think maybe there were 50 people there. Was indeed a fantastic show that my friends were tired of hearing about
Ain't nothing shallow bout that, straight facts. .. trying to figure out how to play that "straight facts" line into some sort of joke. But he's so fine he blows my mind.
No one talks about the longevity of the Femmes. I learned their songs in the 90s and here it is 2024 and the radio plays them and only 3 years ago they were live on KEXP. 40 years!
Surprisingly as much as I tore apart this album I’ve never dug into anything else of theirs. All that I needed as well haha. One of the most unique underrated awesome bands ever assembled.
Oh my goodness my first concert in about 1991 was the Violent Femmes in NYC. Been a die hard fan since 1989. I still plug my phone into my car to listen to them on my commute. Great driving music.❤️
in 83 Culture Club, The Police, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Dire Straights, Dragon, Elton John, Toto, Laura Baningan, Irene Cara....bring back memories? These were the 'top of the pops' in Australia at the time Violent Femmes would have been doing this concert...huge contrast in style. I was only a 9yo, didnt get into femmes til the '90's myself
Violent Femnes were hugely popular in Australia in the 80s. Cool people / true music lovers don't listen to popular music from the radio much, they buy vinyl albums and 45s as a way to check out bands, share the good ones, repeat. Also go to concerts in pubs etc That's how we did it and the Femmes were huge in Oz.
Only truly great bands can perform live and sound just as good if not better than their studio album recordings. Note for note brilliance performed for the live audience, how lucky the crowd were to witness them so early in 1983, they were so unique and instrumentally inventive. I would have loved to see them then, but at 3 y/old I was a little too young for the admission ;)
My brother in Heaven loved this band. His advice to his siblings was to never pay attention to the negativity others try to throw at you; forgive them then if they don't accept you for you; tell em all to kiss off. 🖕💋✌🤙
according to Factory associate Richard Thomas, there were only about 20 people in the audience at this gig - hence the rather lackluster sound from them.
VF have been and will be one of the best bands I loved. im 49 and from the UK, old rave, indie head, 90's mash head. I had so many good come downs to this album. Fuck boy's love you.
Honestly I can't help but agree. Their whole career is shadowed by self titled, probably the only album that comes close is their second one, hollowed ground. It is kind of sad when great bands get thrown into a perfect album limbo/dilemma.
says this was '83, I don't think they had big international following yet plus I believe the femmes were 'before their time'...the world had to mature enough to be ready for their awesomeness! :P
Ya, they played my University Frosh Week in '83. Windsor Ontario, not a big gig, lol. One outside gig in the afternoon, one stage gig in the evening. It was pretty darn fantastic.
It was a culty following. For sure about a decade ahead of their time. They got real popular in the 90s again. Thats when i found them because it was my older sisters angsty cool kid music. Im noticing people mentioning them again. Theyre very relateable and thats why they experience the resurgences they do.

Back when music was real. We drove around just to drive, smoked too much really bad weed out of a punctured soda can, took pills you had to order out the back of a magazine, and ate cold goulash out of the fridge with a dirty spoon. We suffered under the illusion of invincibility and thought better things were just around the corner. The disappointment seems about right.

Who gave thumbs down? THAT WILL go down on YOUR permanent record
+Chuck D. I kind of want it to get to 8
hahahahaha!!
HAHA Yes!
HAHAHA! Good one. Funny. However, you know that people like different things, right? That's ok.
Well, it certainly wasn't Charlie Manson.
These guys were decades beyond their time!!
100%
They really deserve more widespread appreciation and acknowledgement.
I didn't realize they were an early 80's band. I thought they were early 90's. Definitely influenced so many bands.
Gordon's so fine in this concert
Hope you got to take him down
They still tour and they still sound fantastic. Saw them in 2019 and it was an incredible show. Don't miss the opportunity to see them.
I seen them about 16 years ago at a university orientation gig in Christchurch New Zealand. I've been to more concerts than most and they are one of the gigs
This bands music channeled my aggression when l was a 15 yrs old and reminds me of great times.
My husband thinks they are weird. One of my favorite bands ever.
Divorce?
tell ya husband he is.... VF KISSOFFF
Didn't you subject each other to some sort of premarital questionnaire prior to tying the knot? Hint hint, you probably should have.
You forgot to give the test before you said yes.
Been a fan since a teenager (80's) and regretfully never got to see them live. I still listen to them on a regular basis. They are soooo much fun! 😍

Been in love with them since I hit the age of 11 in the early 90's.

@@rebeccacook8149 I was lucky enough to see them at Bumpershoot as a kid in the 90s thanks to rad parents. Such an underrated band
This performance was amazing
Hate to be so shallow, but DAYUM is Gordon fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine here!
Ain't nothing shallow bout that, straight facts.
.. trying to figure out how to play that "straight facts" line into some sort of joke. But he's so fine he blows my mind.
In 1987 my boyfriend introduced me to this band while we were hanging out at the beach. Still love their music. 💜
Decades later, this is still on my short go-to list of anti crankiness, can't help but dance songs. Too bad we'll never know what 8 actually was.
haha well said. lucky number in Chinese
My theory, 8 was for memory loss, black outs maybe?
Eight? It's-Oh I forget what eight was for...
That's funny I just like the explosive 10 10 10 10 everything
This song is currently fitting with the times that we are living in! 😪🙏
The controlled chaos... perfection
No one talks about the longevity of the Femmes. I learned their songs in the 90s and here it is 2024 and the radio plays them and only 3 years ago they were live on KEXP.
40 years!
I'm so happy that this piece of musical history exist.
I wish I could have seem them back then.
Dang 1983, I didn't realize they were this early. Pioneers of alt rock.
reminding me why I had a huge crush on Gordon!
Haa I saw them and had a crush on Vincent
awesome performance of my favorite violent femmes song. wish the crowd was more into it
i'm entirely too in love with this band
Definitely a damn fine band to be in love with : )
Samantha G forget about the band for a bit...im in love with you for the next 3 minutes ;P
the perfect time limit for love!
Loving the Violent Femmes is a red flag
Look at Brian rockin that T40! That's classic!
I have always marveled that a band with such a classic album had virtually not much after...but doesn't matter...this was the only album I needed
KAFKUBA they never made such another “complete” album sure, but there’s really excellent stuff to be found on most of their albums.
Surprisingly as much as I tore apart this album I’ve never dug into anything else of theirs. All that I needed as well haha. One of the most unique underrated awesome bands ever assembled.
They done more than this bro, look shit up kid !!@
@@kemclau91 you should do,! It's a click of a button mate!@
I like Hallowed Ground. Very dark.
crazy he's only 20 here
The drumming is tight like a drum.
And the bass is utterly based like a bass
Gotta keep this music alive.
Wow they are babies. ❤
Oh my goodness my first concert in about 1991 was the Violent Femmes in NYC. Been a die hard fan since 1989. I still plug my phone into my car to listen to them on my commute. Great driving music.❤️
If you are this age, teenage 1983, raw music, real playing of real instruments.
Makes today's performers seem plastic and robotic.
love the very beginning. *_KEYISSS AUUUWWWFFFFF_*
Will we ever see music better than this?
La voce di Gordon è un dono di Dio
OH perfect for showing the emotion both sad and angry
the improvisation in the middle of the song!
back to the future, too good for the epoque!! audience doesnt understand anything, but they change their lives for ever!
Impossibly young and yet decades ahead of their time.
I can't believe this is actually an oldie.

Yep i was six in '83. Got turned on to them in '91. What a band!
I just can't believe you left out the Smiths!!!@@
One of thier best perfomance of this song.... just fu_cking cool.
Saw them in Toronto around this time ...epic show.

I saw them 10 years ago and they seemed like they hadnt aged at all.
Grandi Violent Femmes. E grazie al mio Amico Stefano Luzi che me li ha fatti conoscere più di 30 anni fà.
Timeless
i was 6. it was nothing like anything else. bless
got this show on dvd fucking prized possession
amazing footage wow
This crowd should be embarrassed they should be DANCING
I couldn't have been more wrong about this Band long ago.... I'm a huge fan now... I'm sorry.
Oh my fucking God this rules
he asks the question, you know what they gonna say to you, , sad face first, the happy!!! we do it all the time :)
My brother in Heaven loved this band. His advice to his siblings was to never pay attention to the negativity others try to throw at you; forgive them then if they don't accept you for you; tell em all to kiss off. 🖕💋✌🤙
2:14 guy wearing tie in audience is like "what?" lol I LOVE IT
This song never gets old!
surely doesn't
Im in love
Gracias @Jazmin Yepez
Looks like Marty McFly here.
great recording thanks!

⚡️💙⚡️
Your bassist is the love child of David Bowie and Johnny Rotten
The phones have a good sound
The guy with tie up front is my spirit animal 😐
People are thinking: I thought Skiffle was dead.
Yeah it's like skiffle meets punk speed...The Fall had similar notions
Yeah!!!
Great display of anger - even Victor punches cymbals
Yeah yeah
I want to have Gordon Gano's baby.
Esto no parece de 1983, sino de 10 años después
I know! Hes such a cutie here:)
... GrooveDial was here. And turned it up, loud.
Lord, Gano was so hot 🔥
Again, one more time...
Angry young Americans is that Rob Lowe?
Love that nasally Wisconsin accent.
VF have been and will be one of the best bands I loved. im 49 and from the UK, old rave, indie head, 90's mash head. I had so many good come downs to this album. Fuck boy's love you.
agree
No bass drum, yet somehow works
Not enough people play the bass with a slide. ;)
I take 1 not 10 for everything
How many people were in the audience? Twelve?
DroverChicago more then you'd ever need to keep you company
Gods
Legendary.. So wish I was their, I would have smashed em all in the Mosh Pit Ha Ha.
O Discordia!
(Stolen from Steven King)
This should have a trigger warning, in case it makes people go and do a bunch of grisly murders. /s
the sound is Awful but it sounds fucking great
more like Kiss ON...my peanits
What a boring crowd
I forget what 8 is for.....
Still one of the greatest songs ever
These guys created a flawless album that could never be topped. No wonder they didn't last.
Your mother lasted
They are still touring.
Honestly I can't help but agree. Their whole career is shadowed by self titled, probably the only album that comes close is their second one, hollowed ground. It is kind of sad when great bands get thrown into a perfect album limbo/dilemma.
@@azz_hole7255
This happens with many artists.
Writers galore. One perfect book, album , song and that’s it. A flame
the rawness of it makes me LOVE this band they are still good today too
he was so wired,he should have been fired.says who?You,out hiding in the shadows,cause i certainly didnt say it.

I love this album so much. Grew up to this in the early 90s and never knew it was released in 83' until like mid 2000s. Masterpiece.
I seen these guys a couple of times. One of the best shows I ever seen of them was when Dwight Yoakam opened for them at the Aragon in Chicago.
Loved them saw back in the youth we were
incroyable
smattering of applause for such a great song
agreed
Necesito a alguien, una persona con quien hablar
Alguien a quien le importaría amar
¿Podrías ser tú?
¿Podrías ser tú?
La situación se pone difícil y empiezo a entrar en pánico.
No es suficiente, es solo un hábito, y
Niño, estás enfermo
Bueno, cariño, esto es todo.
Todos pueden besarse en el aire
Detrás de mi espalda, puedo verlos mirar
Me harán mucho daño, pero no me importará
Me lastimarán mucho, lo hacen todo el tiempo (sí, sí)
Sí, lo hacen todo el tiempo (sí, sí)
Lo hacen todo el tiempo (lo hacen todo el tiempo)
Lo hacen todo el tiempo (lo hacen todo el tiempo)
Lo hacen todo el tiempo, lo hacen todo el tiempo
Espero que sepas que esto quedará en tu registro permanente.
Oh, sí, bueno, no te angusties tanto
¿Mencioné que estoy impresionado?
Tomo uno, uno, uno porque me dejaste
Y dos, dos, dos para mi familia
Y tres, tres, tres para mi angustia
Y cuatro, cuatro, cuatro para mis dolores de cabeza
Y cinco, cinco, cinco para mi soledad
Y seis, seis, seis para mi pena
Y siete, siete sin mañana
Y ocho, ocho, olvidé que ocho era para
Pero nueve, nueve, nueve para los dioses perdidos
Diez, diez, diez, diez para todo, todo, todo, todo
Todos pueden besarse en el aire
Detrás de mi espalda, puedo verlos mirar
Me harán mucho daño, pero no me importará
Me lastimarán mucho, lo hacen todo el tiempo (sí, sí)
Sí, lo hacen todo el tiempo (sí, sí)
Sí, lo hacen todo el tiempo (lo hacen todo el tiempo)

Hazlo todo el tiempo
Great performance! Weak crowd.
It's funny that Manchester had no idea what to make of Milwaukee.
IKR!
@@nazzurro Being from Manchester myself, I’m upset they weren’t more popular. My dad said he saw them at the Hacienda and they fucking rocked

Sounds like me & my friends
One of the tightest live performances I’ve seen. That were on it that night, great stuff.
