"I hope you know," Gordon Gano sings, "That this will go down on your permanent record." The line, which gives title to this live release (and a greatest hits collection), comes from the Violent Femmes' debut. It's also the first in a three-song encore from this 49-minute show, recorded at Virginia's Boat House on July 21, 1991. The Wisconsin trio gives an impassioned performance, pulling out all the stops for a spooky version of "Confessions," for which they bring out Caleb Alexander on saxophone. Throughout the show, singer/guitarist Gano looks like a mischievous choirboy, bass player Brian Ritchie looks like a hillbilly (must be that mullet), and percussionist Victor DeLorenzo looks like Moe Tucker in that he too plays an upright drum kit. Most importantly, though, the band sounds great. Permanent Record includes seven videos spanning the Femmes' career, from 1983-1994, along with a lo-fi street performance of "Kiss Off." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Product Description:
The Boat House in Norfolk, Virginia, was perhaps our most frequented venue for a period bordering on two decades. It was blown away in a hurricane a few years back. RIP. The site of many great and weird moments. The gig you are watching was memorable for being 130 degrees Fahrenheit on stage. I know that because they had a thermometer up there. We wanted to record a lot of material, so we slaved away in that furnace for two hours. By the end we were totally drained. -Brian Richie Track Listings: Look Like That, Out the Window, Fat, Blister in the Sun, Prove My Love, Country Death Song, Old Mother Reagan, Confessions, Girl Trouble, Add It Up, Kiss Of, Good Feeling, More Money Tonight
Finally, a live performance DVD from a great band..., October 11, 2005
Reviewer: Bokor (United States) - See all my reviews
I've been waiting for a DVD from the Violent Femmes for years. Periodically, I would check to see if one had finally been released. Now, here I am reviewing it.
It's an excellent collection of songs - a very strong playlist. The performance is solid. The audio is very well done. The filming is simple; it doesn't detract from the experience. One is even allowed to watch the performers without any special effects or rapid editing.
Having the videos is a nice extra. The audio for the street performance is weak; however, it does give one a strong insight into the origins of this band and their ability to play for a crowd. It was probably recorded with a camcorder.
My only complaint is simple. According to the notes in the DVD, this performance was approximately two hours. There is maybe fifty minutes worth presented on this DVD. Some noteable songs, like Black Girls, are obviously missing. That is my only complaint.
I am proud to have this DVD sitting amongst my ever growing collection of live performances.
