Really outstanding show. Pure Femmes and no BS. Played Hallowed Ground album, took a break, played all of Violent Femmes album, took a brief break, played two more in encore. Waved goodnight. The band sounded fantastic. All songs were true to the original. Packed house. It was a cool flashback to the late 80s.
