And thanks for the awesome show, Lincoln. It sounds great, the buzzing can't be helped as the grounding must have been crap in the club or something.
gordon’s guitar solo on To the Kill- even though he hides behind the drums and turns the volume down before the last note plays out, he absolutely nailed it. ⚡️🎸⚡️
Rubber Soul changed my life, Raindogs changed my life, Candy Apple Grey changed my life and Hallowed Ground changed my life. Thanks for posting this, truly amazing stuff, such a great performance!!!

They were all local Bay Area musicians, they’re introduced at some point, but they include members of Club Foot Orchestra and include Steve Mackay who played with the Stooges, Beth Custer and Dave Barrett
Good question! I don’t know of it but the sound person for the show may have recorded it! Not sure who was doing that at that time. I know the club owner discouraged employees from recording.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for doing that! And yes, that club had major grounding issues

Thank you for posting this gem!!!!
Thanks for listening
@@1elare The first and second Femmes albums--I can't think of a more original white band in the world. Imagine their influences!
thank you so much for uploading this!! the quality is shockingly great.
Thanks, that was all done with consumer equipment and a feed from the soundboard, glad you enjoyed it
@@1elare Soundboard feed is the key, sounds great!
He sounds like Lou Reed, especially “Good Feeling” at the end. The Velvet Underground obviously influenced The Violent Femmes!
no violent fems was first.
The best band of the 80thies.I saw this band in Bourges (France)1985.
Maybe I’m not objective but I think this band is the best band.
The Horns of Dilemma!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful show. wish i had been there
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for uploading this, wow!
Wow, superb
Opened with I hear the rain 🌧️ fuck yeah
Whoa?! Amazing! Thanks for sharing it!
In retrospect, the most punk band to come out of that era.
Maravilhoso 😅
Ritchie always sounds better with an acoustic Bass!
wow thanks!!!
glad you enjoyed it!
prove my love.....raw...lol
I was at this show. Cathy got mad later when she found out I wasn't 21. 😂
That cool. No joke.
Anybody know what electric bass Brian is playing there?
I could be wrong, but it looks like a Peavey T-40 to me.
Well now we know where Kirk C got his wardrobe tips from

Who are the saxophone players?
They were all local Bay Area musicians, they’re introduced at some point, but they include members of Club Foot Orchestra and include Steve Mackay who played with the Stooges, Beth Custer and Dave Barrett
@@1elare Very cool. Thank you!
is there a higher fidelity sound version of this anywhere?

... and the Enima! ↙️
He put his fishy hand's down my sticky pants! 💜
Sorry but unless you grew up in the 80's this isn't your band. It's our band and they travel with all their equipment.
You can't fuck with the violent femmes
I've never seen such bad gatekeeping, I'm sure people love being around you
@holdthemayo9132 I grew up in the 80s, but didn't discover them until my early 20s, 1996
@@johnsmith7140ok- you’re good. You get to listen.
Brian Ritchie is the John Entwhistle of his time.
