Violent Femmes Live Performance of Good Feeling at Beale Street Music Festival
In 2016, when Violent Femmes performed 'Good Feeling' live at the Beale Street Music Festival, they were riding a wave of renewed interest, following their 2016 album 'We Can Do Anything.' This was their first studio release in over 15 years, showcasing a blend of their iconic folk-punk sound while exploring new musical avenues. The live recording captures the raw energy and spontaneity that the band is known for, a hallmark of their shows since they first emerged in the early '80s. Interestingly, 'Good Feeling' was actually a part of their earlier work, particularly from their 1983 self-titled debut, which has been a fan favorite for decades. This performance in Memphis also reflects the band's enduring legacy, as they continue to resonate with both old and new fans, proving that sometimes, great music merely takes time to evolve.
