I thank any force out there for helping me finding this (proper VF concert) and thank you for posting it !!!! Happy 2024!! If you knew the history behind me and this band. Back in Corfu backpacking in 1988 and JH for educating me with proper 🎶🎶. I still swear to this day they are gifted with their instruments and variation in lyrics and tunes. They are UNIQUE. I won’t show off 😅 but I have original vinyls going back to 1992 but sadly I lost the signed poster by all the boys….and because I’m on my perch I can’t remember what I did last month, I can sing every lyric for every album I knew back in the day……this is the best search I’ve ever found xxxxx

Brian Gregory and Gordon Gano traded haircuts from last time I saw them perform at TURF in Toronto doing this set in 2014. This album is the soundtrack of my summer of 1983 in Bramalea, Ontario. It is still a perfect album.

I knew the vf since 1982 loved that bass up and down sound mixed with sharp vocals drums guitar and lyrics usually were like stories ..use to play them all the time...still listen

How the years fly by, I watched the Femmes the first time at Kalvøya festival in Oslo in 1992 if memory serves, one of the more memorable performances I've seen. It's brilliant to see the guys are still rocking it.

Fan since 85 skated to them. Always been a band I've loved and wanted to see in concert but always been a band id prob leave the concert early on. I'll leave the music enjoyment to the old cassette and stickers I still have with this band. Remember play country death song to your toddler kids in the car to learn them early on

Thats my favorite song too by them. I have three daughters and I always cry when I hear that song. It's very heavy for me. Just the whole premise of the song chokes me up.

worked with these guys in the 90's, they really had that anarchy-punk vibe. They enjoyed disrupting the norm, kind of like the way Jonny Rotten does with the Sex Pistols. I think we did the interview sitting on the floor, the bassist was f-ing around the whole time, Gordon gave a half ass interview. Pretty entertaining.

Don’t mind a little chit chat, but saw Mellencamo this winter and he talked a lot. But maybe his voice just can’t do a full concert any more. Was still fun to see him, in his prime he was all singing.
