Permanent Record: Live And Otherwise

The Boat House in Norfolk, Virginia, was perhaps our most frequented venue for a period bordering on two decades. It was blown away in a hurricane a few years back. RIP. The site of many great and weird moments. My favorite memory was when a fool climbed up one of the pillars supporting the roof and started rappelling around on the microphone snake. We were blissfully performing one of our masterpieces when our reverie was interrupted by the voice of soundman Caleb Lentzner screaming over the talkback mike, 'Hey @#*hole, get down from there! Let go of the snake!' the gig you are watching was memorable for being 130 degrees Fahrenheit onstage. I know that, because they had a thermometer up there. We wanted to record a lot of material, so we slaved away in that furnace for two hours. By the end we were totally drained. - Brian Ritchie Live at the Boat House, Norfolk, VA (7/21/91): = Look Like That, Out the Window, Fat, Blister in the Sun, Prove My Love, Country Death Song, Old Mother Reagan, Confessions, Girl Trouble, Add It Up, Kiss Off, Good Feeling, More Money Tonight Music Videos: Gone Daddy Gone/I Just Want to Make Love to You, Children of the Revolution, I Held Her in My Arms, American Music, Used to Be, Breakin' Up, Machine.
