Teenage Fanclub Feel a whole lot better White room 1995

[@mbatten55]

one of my favorite bands covering one of the greatest songs of all time

[@michaelkelly7701]

Totally agree…pure gold 👍

[@Bluenose-mx5ej]

With you 100%

[@pavement422]

Great cover version of a great song by a great band

[@Ben_Mdws]

I loved The White Room, I love Teenage Fanclub and I love this cover.

[@elatomico7791]

great guitar work, great harmonies, and a great backbeat

[@jasonbailey960]

This was my Dad's favorite Byrds song, awesome !

[@StuartJebbitt]

The Tambourine player is George Borowski - a truly brilliant singer/songwriter - check him out!

[@hurkamur1]

Cool. I had never heard of him. Apparently he was the guitar George reference in sultans of swing.

[@JoeChrisMorris]

Very nice. Gene Clark RIP

[@PaulWilliamGibson]

Terrific stuff! I remember watching this on TV at the time. Great to see it again. What a brilliant show the White Room was , great format.

[@dubcityy]

Byrds rule. Teenage Fanclub rules. Great song.

[@keefp]

met these guys a few years ago. Great bunch and the MOST underrated band of all time.

VERDADE PENSO O MESMO

[@martinquarton184]

great version of my favourite Byrds song.

[@cariboufilo]

They very great GENE CLARK

[@indigomariana7093]

Mike Orr you know it!

[@oppothumbs1]

Yeah this is almost as good as the Byrds and much better than Tom Petty's.

[@mauricioochoa4179]

Gene would be proud!!

[@browboy]

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for posting. Just heard the Byrds version on the radio and remembered this version. One quick search and here it is. I also remember the Fannies used to cover the Beatles' Rain around this time. Sadly I don't think there are any recordings of this.

[@parascientist]

this just made my day.

[@Prellium]

Yes! I saw this back in the day and never thought I'd see it here! Brilliant!

[@pavement422]

bloodnokian I’ve still got it on VHS 🤪

[@MrKindermusik]

Great cover, great energy.

[@pigurine]

They NAILED it.

[@pcsbeat]

Great version!

[@littlejames22]

What a song, what a band (the byrds i mean) and a great cover by a good band! I remember i used to go to the late but great Wag on Wardour St on thursday nights and always request this from the benevolent poor dj Spencer, who always did play it eventually. Happy days. Anyone else remember this being played upstairs at the Wag thursdays circa 1997-98?..

[@JumpleadsForTwo]

Great band covering another great band. TFC do the Byrds very well don't they. I saw them cover Mr Tambourine Man at Reading Festival in '92 on a freezing wet Sunday afternoon. I think Nirvana had chosen the main stage bill for that day because they were headlining. TFC really cheered me up that miserable day.

[@Bluenose-mx5ej]

They're a cheer up sort of band.

[@conbaz106]

Amazing Fannies! Have you heard their cover of the Beatles 'Tell Me What You See'? Definitely one of the greatest Beatles covers ever.

[@TheAlexH]

They used to play I Heard You Looking live? WOW!

[@davidcowan4942]

The Yo la tengo song? I mind them playing that in a small venue during the Edinburgh Festival! Yo la tengo played the same venue the night before and I am sure they joined them on stage! Unless I dreamt that!

[@TenenteDinamite]

Man, I have a MP3 of the Fannies doing Fell a Whole Lot Better for years. It's from a radio program and it's completely acostic. Never though I could see a video from an electric version. Great Great Great!!!

[@dunkiep]

I got a tape recording of that - it was a radio 1 session (Mark Radcliffe show I think).

[@lacassula]

MARAVILLA

[@jeffkahl]

yes

[@nikav8]

Pleasing !

[@Raughwe]

Right on.

[@lrdsc]

@mcs1hr that's a question i'd like to know the answer for, specially knowing that the music TFC does is very "accessible", in terms of listening... maybe TOO "accessible"... who knows?! their albums are excellent, and their b-sides always impressionate... my favorite band!

[@renato670]

Os melhores do Mundo e nao tem superior.

[@rredvoodoo]

Bro, you are so FREAKIN' right!

[@JoeyLevenson]

Matthew Sweet was obviously drinking the same water!

[@ElizabethMariya]

Torturing myself: I couldn't get tickets to Teenage Fanclub this week in Sao Paulo (sold out concert in less than 24 hours!!), now I'm looking for live videos... :-(

[@andyinoregon]

That lead singer at 0:40 looks like a 16 year-old James Taylor.

[@FFGG22E]

I've read that due to the fact that they love Big Star and The byrds, they were at one point going to be called The Big Byrds, but they were slapped with an injunciton by Jim Henson. I've also read that they were once going to be called the Whom?

[@Doonhamebear]

FFGG22E Norman originally wanted to call the band Teenage Fanny but wasn’t allowed to.

[@JoeyLevenson]

That’s a great name anyway!

[@RJ4960]

They didn't exacly lay back for the lead player to take the solo, but otherwise a great version.

[@atlantemusica]

Charly Garcia remix! jeje

[@389383]

The missing backing vocals are a real miss.

[@pavement422]

I absolutely love TFC but who's the tool on the tambourine??

[@craigmcintyre6033]

pavement422 he was a guitar tech that toured with them mid 90s. Can't remember his name. George something.

[@scottgrant9714]

This man is a legend - George Borowski or 'Guitar George' as you might know him from Sultans of Swing

[@pavement422]

It’s Norman’s dad

[@douglasbaird6552]

Frank MacAvenie

[@Ghoopty]

This is good....I think I prefer the Tom Petty version meself.

[@SkeebWilcox]

Darn kids can't even get the lyrics right...
