I think this was their first show in SF. Cathy Cohen was such a great booker. I think this was the second show we taped (Jack Williamson and myself)

Violent Femmes are still an unmatched talent with an absolutely unique flavor. It was so friggin awesome growing up with these guys as my soundtrack. Thanks from the bottom of my heart❤

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. ⚡️🎸⚡️

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.

He sounds like Lou Reed, especially “Good Feeling” at the end. The Velvet Underground obviously influenced The Violent Femmes!

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.
