Permanent Record – Live & Otherwise

Permanent Record - Live & Otherwise is a DVD released by the Violent Femmes on July 12, 2005. The first thirteen tracks were filmed during a live concert at The Boat House in Norfolk, Virginia on July 21, 1991. Tracks 14 through 20 are music videos. The last track is footage of an impromptu performance of "Kiss Off", in front of the Downer Theater in the band's hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Duration: 80 minutes. Tracks 1 though 13: 49 minutes

As noted in the packaging of the DVD, "The Boat House" concert has become famous for the intense heat endured during the performance. An unusually hot east-coast summer during 1991 added together with the heat generated by equipment and lighting had created a temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit on-stage as measured with a thermometer. The band members performed in tank-tops while many members of the audience chose to go shirtless to deal with the heat.
