Billy Bragg - Greetings to the New Brunette (Live at the Danforth)

[@kurumabakka]

Great show last night! I’ve been going to his shows since the 80’s when we all looked like youngsters. Now the audience are all geezers lol. Thanks for posting these!

Did you see him at either the Masonic Temple in '96 or the Phoenix in 98 with Wilco promoting the first Mermaid Avenue album ? Saw him there both times. I didn't think he would be better than 96 but he slayed it last night. Loved how he gave us the classics. Im thinking Freedom Doesn't Come for Free ( the dangers of libertarianism) may enter classic Bragg territory some day. 👍

@@johngallagher72 I saw him at the Concert Hall in 87 and 91. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Wilco collaboration as I’ve always loved Billy alone with just his guitar. Those were the days 😎

Also tell me that wasn't absolutely tremendous when we all belted out ...whoops there goes another pint of beer at 5:01...again me whoo hooing in background ..slightly after . I actually apologized to guy sitting next me that I got a little loud when he started to put his finger in his left ear for earplug. Couldn't really help the extra enthusiasm ...Billy seems to encourage interaction at his concerts...he even mentioned it in one of the monologs and every show I've seen he encourages sing a long to the classics. Loved show last night . .hopefully he comes back again next year. ❤👍🤟🎸🔥

@@johngallagher72 Yes, his shows are becoming almost like Rocky Horror audience participation events lol. A New England….I don’t think I’ve ever seen him sing the complete song ever since the audience takes over. This was my 7th time seeing him across 3 countries. I drove from Ottawa just to catch this one. I wish him a long life and career so I can see him many many more times. It was a shame he didn’t come out to mingle with the fans after the show, which he always did pre-Covid.

@@kurumabakka you were right about one thing though we all definitely became geezers ...bwahahaha ...when I saw we actually got seats this time I thought ...yes ...finally we don't have to stand...hahaha...the guy behind me and I even joked that finally we got to sit down during the show.
