[@RockaRecord]

Awe man, finally! I've been waiting for the full performance. Billy Bragg is a fucking legend.

[@i.erdtochter8377]

I had the honor to hear him playing a concert in Germany. In an industrial site. He was fascinated by former miners telling him about their lives after the concert

[@MrPielips]

25 people need to get a life. Found Billy just after i joined the army mid 80s, listened to Talking to the tax man about poetry every time i caught the train home from Darlington to Newport with my carry out of export red.

[@marcrogers642]

Was Ireland at that time,god bless bragg

[@martinburkinshaw8799]

Catterick as well? Signals?

[@jacklydon]

I can't believe that "Greeting to the New Brunette" is 30 years old now. I guess was all got old. The song was such revelation at 20 years old.

[@mattcoily6281]

England's voice that made us all try to forget to cement of our souls and try to feel

[@neridawalker6623]

Love this mans voice, lyrics and musicianship... A true blue bard

[@DiBoDSC]

He´s older now, but he´s the same! Billy Bragg changed my life! He has heart in the right place! I was on 2 concerts in the early 90s, one with the Red-Stars and one solo! Both were outstanding! Thanks for the recording of this concert in a bycicle store!

[@pietrolauria9001]

I'm Italian and I've recently discovered Billy Bragg. He's very good, I fell in love madly at the first listen. Why the fuck I've never heard him before? In Italy, of all the beautiful english music , you only get the crap out of it !

[@PeppeG4]

Amico mio, con tante porcherie anglofoni che qui fanno fortuna, hai detto forse una delle poche che merita interesse ahah

[@cronulla70]

what was wrong with Amy?

[@adamhutt152]

Amy Winehouse was an incredible singer.

[@JacobTheTall]

It's amazing, how he justs seems to get better and better with age!

[@dlj230558]

Billy was right. Even though this concert was from 2013, it's almost as though it was written for 2021. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

[@jonasbrm]

struggle is unfortunately never ending....

[@Racingmix]

Billy Bragg - Milkman of human kindness!!!

[@DivineSinners]

Billy Bragg was, is and always will be GREAT!!!

[@USERNAMEfieldempty]

Thirty years ago... this guy saved me from teenage misery. Joe Strummer saved him. I wonder who saved Joe Strummer?

[@frankpaisley6799]

woody did

[@grazgraz2]

Billy Bragg was out din Australia not so many months ago, heard him on The Australian Broad Casing Network. Reminded me of the good Old man's body of work. I really like the stories/songs he writes and performs.

[@r0d014]

this guy is great!

[@Giantcappuccino]

This is my favorite Billy Bragg performance to date. Simply perfect.

[@bobsteele1199]

Just a truly beautiful human being, his heart is in the right place and solid ideas too for the way forward. Love is the answer. Great musician too

[@jackdanial6981]

[@Gool349]

[@gjglk]

Great Performance, thanks for posting. Going to see him tonight here in Oslo at Parktheatret!!

[@robertocassani]

Great performance from a genuine master and bona fide European treasure

[@Giantcappuccino]

This is great! I'm going home tonight and laying Back to Basics on the turntable.

[@Keleigh3000]

Happy 59th Billy. Hope you get many more.

[@ianmc42]

Brilliant as always. Thank you Billy and KEXP for the upload.

[@thomasdungl8493]

[@englishmanvideos]

First time I saw billy was Glastonbury 85.. 3ft of mud and billy bragg..... thanks for the memories billy

[@gerdmeerjans8916]

I saw him in Amsterdam ...

[@paulschimek9808]

Billy is starting to look like Pete Seeger . . .

[@Giantcappuccino]

Billy Bragg only gets better with age.

[@silkemaggs8590]

I saw Billy back in ˋ 86 in Hamburg, he was sat outside...Backing for the Icicle works.

[@cucurucho1961]

I am pleased that despite all those deprivations you have turned out to be such a well rounded individual.

[@frankpaisley6799]

Wow... KEXP has all my faves.. Steve Wynn, Robyn Hitchcock, King Khan and now Billy... when is You Am I droppin in??love you guys and gals...

[@deanarnot2339]

Billy Bragg is kind of like a genius.

[@stever1944]

Wonderfully filmed. Thanks for letting us see this.

[@ianblades1759]

Needs to have a full UK tour, soon. Amazing talent that's sadly dying here in old blighty.

[@daanprins6730]

An absolute hero

[@tlinford]

Love the last song "great leap forwards" best one here!

[@andrewdesmond4162]

BILLY BRAGG keeping Music - real, true & brilliant as ever [ even in a bicyle shop ]. Thank you Billy Bragg for hanging out in our time & congratulations on your IVOR NOVELLO Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. True! ❤️🎶

[@cucurucho1961]

i'll finish off here by saying that billy bragg was-like many of us-an idealist in his youth, and no doubt also made errors in judgement. for what it's worth, bragg is now regarded as a bit of an elder statesman on british politics,and is regularly asked to speak on serious tv and radio programmes where his views-perhaps not quite the same as in his youth-are regarded as being valid and worthy.

[@cucurucho1961]

I don't believe anyone would ever claim the DDR was in any way a Utopia but at least the people had the right to free healthcare a paid job with annual leave free education access to housing I believe the people of the United States will be waiting a long time before they achieve these basic human rights.

[@carlospenaalvarez9755]

Grande Billy Bragg!! Saludos desde las cuencas mineras de León. España ✊️

[@simonmathewduncan5399]

great socialist ,great working class poet

[@perrybrown7650]

I saw Billy Bragg live in the late 90s. It was one of the highlights of my life. I'd love to see him again.

[@magpiewashington472]

The guy is SOOO funny! He still has bite! thanks for posting

[@zeitgeist6987]

You can find more songs by Billy on my YT channel. Check it out. By the way, I think Billy should tour with a band a lot more often. Violin and trumpet harmonize wonderfully with his voice.

[@TomNihiski]

a truly brilliant performance

[@tomcosterton6419]

Saw him too many times at glasto, he was so good.

[@mod69]

Brilliant

[@GimmieCookie]

I haven’t listened to this in years “Sexuality” - still fresh and fun!

[@mjreazy2627]

We're still waiting for the reckoning sadly... Things have not been this bad since the days of Margaret Thatcher...

[@tamoore77]

[@Uly_Sandoval_303]

The one and only Billy Bragg...

[@hansinternett7661]

great as ever

[@judegraham463]

incredible song writer is our Billy. Not so sure about his comedic ambitions though?

[@RasCuban33]

Talent show coming up at work, SOOOOOOO many songs too choose from????? Any suggestions out there?

[@spaceghost5371]

Ivan Loaces great leap forwards

[@gergokadar9560]

Can someone tell me what kind of tuning is Mr. Bragg usnig?

[@milascave2]

Kojo1974 don't thin he's advocating that we adapt Soviet style communism, that emporer has been naked for a long time. But as you yourself say, the Communists seized everything after communism fell in Poland under the banner of privitization, so that should tell you something. While Leninism is not the great leap foreward, neither is privitization. Both concentrate to much power in to few hands, allowing corrupt elites to steal everything. We need to give up black and white thinking and come up with more nuanced solutions.

[@loucat2779]

time for workers unions once again, give them an inch and they take a mile. Every time!

[@davidkobryn2585]

nice bike shop! not too mention billy of course.

[@Koupman]

Brilliant!!

[@tioferias5212]

[@andrewdomonic6603]

I love the dude in the Municipal Waste t-shirt in the front row. It's awesome to listen to all types of music.

[@JustDaddySean]

Billy Bragg is the man

[@joesouthport]

Brilliant recording

[@carlosjorgepedro]

Did you get zombies for an audience????

[@billordo]

yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

Love Billy Bragg. Hate Lance Armstrong (it's his shop). Conflicted.

[@harrythompson9315]

Who cares, it's just the venue.

[@cucurucho1961]

Billy is playing Chagstock (Devon's very own, great little festival) this July-can't wait!!

[@shantiq]

still got it

[@GG-qo8oy]

I love his Levi Stubb Tears

[@tlinford]

Rebel without a cause; nice vibe though!

[@benharris4795]

thanks Billy

[@trebleboostboy]

ok.

[@kojot1974]

Though I sense more than a spatter of sarcasm - thanks for your last comment. What doesn't kill you and so on. It's not I like had the most miserable childhood ever. The thing is that people were getting killed and imprisoned all around and we were being brainwashed into believing that the Soviet Big Brother was there to stay. So people like Billy, coming and singing about how bad capitalism was and giving credit to our oppressors - that was obcene stupidity to say the least.

Accused of selling out in the UK by now living in Dorset with the tories he professes to hate, but to me he's still a class act 👍

[@shnixbot]
