Teenage Fanclub & The Posies - Amsterdam 1993 & bonus

The Paradiso
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Oct. 30, 1993

(plus bonus live trax)

live recordings from the Dutch radio station VPRO’s vaults (“Night Train” show broadcast Feb. 8, 2003)


FM cable broadcast recording (sound quality Ex-)


The Posies: never left the garage (but it's a really nice garage...)
SUPER THANKS to Magnix for recording, digitizing & sharing

ROB SEZ: How cool is it that this live set by two Big Star fanboy bands starts & ends with the classic “September Gurls”? How cool is it that they toured together in 1993? Posies leaders Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow have appeared here already as members of the latter-day Big Star lineup, but this is the first post to feature their own band (more to come later…)

  1. Hey there - thanks for organizing this blog and making these fantastic old tracks available for us aging fans. Somewhere I have a few tracks I recorded from a Chris Stamey show at the Bottom Line in 1988/89, opening for Marshall Crenshaw or Bob Mould (can't remember...). If I can find them I'll post them.
    Quick question: would you happen to know if there are any guitar tabs published for dB's stuff? I haven't found many online but would love to know the "official" versions (or at least competent transcriptions) of some of these tunes to bash around sometime.

    1. hey rob -- you're welcome; thanks for stopping by. "aging fans"?!? who's that??!! (lol, etc.) although i would like to hear the Chris Stamey tracks, i won't be posting them here, at the artist's request. wish I could help you with your question about guitar tabs, but i'm clueless. if there's nothing at the official site, you might be out of luck, but i will post anything i find in the future here.
