Going to SF Show on the 28th of JAN.

Looking for other Silicon Valley fans to get together with before,
during, and after SF SHOW.

Boathouse Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all I am sorry that I did not get this in for Monday’s issue,
I am human, what can I say. As you all know I have asserted in
previous issues that the Boathouse is a superior place than most to
see the Violent Femmes. This show was of course no exception to my
claim, however I do have one problem with the show, and it has
nothing to do the the Femmes, it was the crowd. I am completely
unimpressed with the average Femmes concert goer. The thing that
really bothered me, was that during Good Feeling, a soft, sensitive
and expressive song, the crowd was louder then the Femmes. This
really made me upset. I could not believe that these people would
disrespect the band this much. All they wanted to do was mosh and
crowd surf. I would also wonder if anyone else has experienced this
same frustration with the crowd? Alright, now that I have expressed
my disdain about the concert, let me share my praise with you as well.
The thing that impressed me the most is that through all these
years the Femmes have never lost touch with their audience. Every
person that was there could truly relate to the music. High
Schoolers and adults alike could share in the experience. This
showed me that the Violent Femmes are a timeless band, but the Femmes
did seem a little more disorganized then usual, but that always
varies from show to show. Also there were no extra musicians, I.E.
the horns of dilemma. Brian played the harmonica during Black Girls
which was pretty cool. Also no Dance M.F. intro, I guess Brian might
be tired of thinking. One of the more interesting moments of the
show was when the Femmes covered the Bob Dylan song Positively 4th
Street, and then began Bob’s classic Mr. Tambourine man, only to go
right into Blister in the Son. Gordon also gave us a preview of New
Year’s Eve with his rendition of Olde Lang Zane (I hope I spelled
that right) Then after the show I waited outside in the freezing
cold in my shorts to speak to Gordon. I got sick but it was worth it.
All in all this was not the best show I have ever seen, but non the
less, it was incredible. I would encourage anyone who can see the
Femmes at the Boathouse to do it, trust me. Thanks
