Gordon's voice has not changed a bit since the first album. Incredible.

[MelStaub]

Them joking about playing blister in the sun a second time had me in stitches, one of the best bands ever period.

[chadhaswell]

These guys belong in the RnR Hall of Fame!

Loved seeing the kid during Blister in the Sun....I was 7 when I started listening to the Violent Femmes and I'm 46 now and would have loved to be on that stage at that age.

Sounds great. This is how it's done kids. 2 acoustic guitars, a bbq and great songs.

[bronwynjoyhansen]

After all these years, I can't listen to the Femmes without singing along.

[johnhatch]

The Violent Femmes are the greatest! I love that they picked a kid from the audience and had him stand with them during the whole song. I'm jealous of that kid. 😊

[andrewmiroslawski]

I love how they launch from the feel good vibes of "American Music" right smack into one of the darkest songs of their entire discography "Country Death Song". The crowd was so confused, they had no idea what to do.

[SPOOKSTR]

Im 55 years old and have been to literally hundreds of concerts. The bass player in VF is the best I've seen.

[mattgilbert]

So goddam wholesome and heartwarming. Wonderful.

[christiananderson]

One of the most important bands of all time

[regandunn]

From buskers to massive success where I live in new Zealand they played in 1990 I was like 12 and the I smoked weed at the show first time ever and this band blew me away

[fuzzynutkila]

His voice hasn't changed . Same key ! That's awesome

[QuinnHomes]

Weber has its new commercial. This is a phenomenal performance. The recording sounds fantastic. A++

[mishaelsands]

I have attended these guys concerts, when available 6 times over the past 30 years... Have not changed a bit... I remember when Nirvana supported them, not a person was interested in Nirvana (all at the bar) but it was a great night when the Femmes cames on.

[footnotedrummer]

These guys are still fire. Probably the best party music of the 80s. I wore this cassette out. Amazing songs.

[voxhumana]

What a mind-blowing band! The connection between them. How organic this music is...just amazing.

[SRone]

Violent Femmes are one the best things to ever happen to music.

[MSTKilla]

Think my dream lineup is simply a Violent Femmes and Pixies dual show.
