Billy Bragg - Greetings to the New Brunette on David Letterman (DESATURATED)

this is the exact same video that the Cleveland live music archive folks posted but I just fiddled about with the saturation and hue to get it looking a lot less orange

i love this song to death and never knew he performed it on national TV. thank you. thank you for giving me a chance to watch this.

[@SuperAnimelover100]

I bought the cassette EP of this, in Canada in early 1987 (I'm from Ohio, US). I didn't know Billy or his music, but the title was interesting -and 2 Canadian dollars. I became a fan! I his his new "Forty" double CD collect, often played in my car -wonderful! Good to see performances kept from TV, years back. Paul Shaffer does a fine part of keys/synth.

A great performance as ever from Billy

Man, we were young than.....

[@LordGreystoke]

I like that he makes the effort to minimize his cockney accent so you can better hear and understand the lyrics. On the record, I keep hearing him say “korea”

[@hughcansdale4758]

A lot of Brits, or English people at least, would pronounce the words 'career' and 'Korea' the same, which would be the case in Billy's East London/Essex accent...

[@richardphillips6392]

OH MAN

[@vselenautika]

Shame the sound from his mic is so low here.

[@davidsmith6355]

yes, they ruined it

[@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303]

It's pretty low but it's still intelligible, I'm okay with it

[@RobAGabor]

Oops there goes another pint of beeeer!
