Violent Femmes 20th Anniversary
Oct. 20th, 2002 09:00 pmThe Femmes did a 20th anniversary show at the Oriental Theater for its own 75th anniversary.. That theater just blows me away every time I see it. Just beautiful. I think it was my first time there for a concert. We had front row seats, but I didn't realize seats seven and eight (counting from the center aisle) would be right in front of the speakers. My left ear was not too good the next day. Other than that, it was a great show. Lots of fun. We didn't dance much, being in the front row, but that's okay.
It was about halfway through the first set, when I noticed that Victor's tranceophone was not on the sound system. We were close enough that I could hear it anyway.
Ritchie, wearing a kilt this outing, is the bandleader. At one point, he let the guys wander aimlessly, waiting for him to tell them the next song. He had added cajon box to the long list of instruments he has played at Femmes shows.
Gordon, then living in New York City, was wearing two shirts, and mentioned that this layered look was a Milwaukee trademark.
The concert was preceded by the fourth annual Milwaukee Wearable Sculpture Fashion Show.
