The Beths- Live From Gate B4, Terminal 1, San Francisco International Airport, August 10, 2026


 
 I'm technically on vacation as we speak, but sometimes something catches my eye (and ears) that needs some attention. SFO Celebrates Sounds In The City Summer Edition Terminal Sessions featured The Beths on August 10th. This is a very unique performance with the band playing a free set, not just inside an airport, but in an area post-security at Gate B4. So basically the only people that could watch this show live are ticket passengers waiting for a flight to take off or you can obtain entry via a special GFO Gate Explorer, that could grant you access to the secure side of the airport. It would have been an awesome show and we're fortunate this was recorded and posted on Dime. Thanks to husker1972 for your efforts!
Enjoy! 
 


 Notes from the taper:
That was certainly one of the more unusual shows I've seen. SFO is doing "Terminal Sessions" this summer featuring international artists playing free gigs, so The Beths played for about 100 fans and some bemused travelers on a stage set up in the waiting area outside a boarding gate in Terminal 1. It made for an amusing tableau, with boarding announcements over the PA before the set and planes taxiing behind the band while they played. The band was enjoying themselves and the sound was surprisingly good. All in all, a very fun show; kudos to SFO for trying something different.
Recording came out very well.

We Are Now 20!! Weakerthans- CBC Session, Vancouver, BC 1999


 
This month 20 years ago, the Teenage Dogs In Trouble music blog was launched with it's first ever post, Up and Running. After all these years, the blog is still around and active, with so many similar blogs and music pages long gone, so I feel fortunate to survive the past 20 YEARS!! The format hasn't changed too much, though I've pivoted from promoting (or making you aware of) music you should hear to mainly posting live concert recordings I recorded or other dedicated tapers, who swapped with me or posted the music online. It's been fun and engaging, though it's a pain in the ass getting takedown notices or copyright shit that forces me to remove recordings. One of those shows is a Weakerthans show in Winnipeg from 1998, that I removed several years ago, so I'm taking the risk by posting a Weakerthans radio session from 1999. (FYI: if you are interested in the above mentioned show from 1998, send me a PM or email)
 
I'm still undertaking an ongoing personal project of digitizing my live cassette masters. Of course, this takes time and I don't seem to have a lot of that, but to celebrate the 20th anniversary, I promise to continue to post those shows on the blog. One of the tapes I did recently transfer, was this live CBC Session with the Weakerthans I recorded straight from the radio onto cassette. This recording is probably out there somewhere already, but listening to it recently, it got me reminiscing what a great band they were and how proud they are from Winnipeg. The show is hosted by Grant Lawrence (oh, I love the Smugglers!) and features a short in-studio performance, including not-yet released songs from, Left And Leaving and interview segment. Definitely worth revisiting! (Get it while you can!)
Enjoy!
 
P.S. I had a request from a reader about a John K. Samson recording that John and his wife, Christine Fellows recorded in 2006 called, The Old House (This Old House?). It's rare and was a private Christmas gift to friends and family and one of the songs, Taps Reversed (different version) appears on Provincial. A couple of songs received airplay on CBC radio (see below), but I have yet found the complete recording. A reddit thread led to a download of the two songs, definitely worth a listen! If anyone has more information or better yet have a version of, The Old House, please let me know!
