It has now been 50 years since Det fjärde bästa bandet i Lund played their first concert at Lilla Teatern, in Lund itself. ‘Att vilja men inte kunna’ is a play on the title of the band’s first album from 1980, which is called ‘Att kunna men inte vilja’. The narrative of the show is based on a fascinating story written by Torsson’s frontman, singer and songwriter, Bo Åkerström. It is a story that weaves together many of Torsson’s songs and lyrics, centred around the lives of three individuals.
