| Amazing gig poster by Tom Bagley! |
As I mentioned in the last post of 2025, this music blog is celebrating it's 20th anniversary this August. What better way to celebrate than to see my favourite band, the Young Fresh Fellows live in concert, next weekend in sunny Vancouver BC! If you've read this blog before you know how much I love the band, so much so I named the blog after one of their songs! I bought my ticket about a month ago and booked my flight soon after, so I'm set to see a band I haven't see live since 1992, when by coincidence I saw them in Vancouver at the Commodore opening for, They Might Be Giants. It's the only other time I saw a concert in Van and it almost didn't happen because I only saw they were playing the day of the show in the local entertainment paper. A day earlier, my brother and sister drove to Seattle in a rented car, bought a shit tons of records and wished the Fellows were playing in their hometown, so seeing them was definitely the highlight of that trip. The show on April 11 will be incredible and I'm grateful I have family there (save $$$) and I don't have to cross into the states (no updated passport) in a city I like a lot. I'm looking forward to meeting other fans, I know Vancouver has lots of them and this will be the dream show I've been anticipating since I last saw them and can't wait to soak it all in. Oh, and I plan to buy lots of records during this trip, this will be great!
To get you and me in the mood, here's a Young Fresh Fellows show I've seen sitting on for a long time. I acquired the tape with several others via a trade with someone from the Seattle area and though many aren't great sound quality, this one from 1990 sounds really good. I transferred it to CD a while back and recently digitized it. This seems like the perfect time to share this epic performance with the band (Kurt era) in top notch form. Lots of tracks, many deep cuts and it's up there with my favourite YFF live recordings. Hopefully, the upcoming tour will have similar memorable moments of splendor that gets captured on tape.
Enjoy!
If you like this show, you'll love this one I shared in 2016!
