Violent Femmes - PAC
New Year's Eve, 1991. The Femmes were playing at the high-class Performing Arts Center. All velvet seats and everything. I've got two tickets, but only one was used. I wonder who I'd planned on taking.
I parked in a nearby parking lot, where a company was renting out its space to make a few extra bucks. The guy who was parking cars asked me who was playing. And then what they sounded like. I told him they were described as acoustic punk, and he asked what that sounded like.
I still wasn't completely up to speed on the Violent Femmes at this point. There were still a couple of albums I hadn't heard yet, and this show marked the first time I had heard "Jesus Walking on the Water" and "I Hear the Rain". Caleb, the sound guy, was playing sax from the sound board in the back, but I don't recall a big, raucous noise jam, as later shows would feature the Horns of Dilemma.
