Buried within the human psyche are feelings, yearnings, anxieties too deep for words, usually. Only sometimes do we see it in ourselves. Always it is something outside ourselves that touches us, somehow, where we feel most deeply. At such moments we remember that we are humans — not mere living creatures, but human beings, profoundly and deeply shaped by a moral sensibility so powerful that it breaks through our inhibitions; it can burst out, explode into public view, to our own astonishment. And sometimes that objective form — a person, an event, an object, a song — embodies deeply felt sensibilities for a lot of us at once, so that we discover how much we share in our private worlds, worlds otherwise inaccessible to anyone one else. It becomes a social event, so we can all rejoice, and weep, together.

It was probably 17 years ago (Mid January 1992) when I went with my first *real* girlfriend to see Teenage Fanclub live at 1st Ave. I remember it was mid-January and she drove up with her friends to see the show.
These were all recorded about the same time on the BBC. If you listen to them in order (they are audio-only), you’ll have an entire show!
