Very great and fine session, or concert, very great idea and concept, to tell and sing about US' Western history with help of rail road: thank you so much for sharing it!
For those lamenting no 'A New England', bear in mind that Billy Bragg is A) playing here with the near-equally deified Joe Henry, B) they have fifteen minutes, and C) Billy B. has such a canon that even if he were playing a 3-hour solo set, I'm not sure I'd expect to hear 'A New England.' ... I love it too, but he has written hundreds and hundreds of masterstrokes and loves covers as well, so anything goes at at a Billy B. show.

I can hear the trains in these songs, Such a different view of LA What an experience

Beautiful vocals. one of the best, maybe the best version of "In the Pines" I've ever heard.
Haunting and beautiful.
love it
a friend of mine worked with joe henry when we were younger. never met him but i hope to sometime, michigan is awesome for music
@@winnywin listen to black wind blowing by billy bragg, you'll love it
its a leadbelly song
Love this!
This guy cares more than everyone. About everything.
Apart from Britain and it's people , he'd rather support an unelected superstate and mass third world immigration.
what?
I'm guessing you voted leave?
Its part of his shtick.
Outstanding
Was hoping for A New England but I'd imagine the bloke is awfully fucking tired of playing it. Great set still!
i was hoping on new england, but this is good too
i'd really like to see more PoC on here. scrolling through the vids i find very little with which to identify.
A good point. But equally, using your eyes to decide what to listen to seems a strange approach to music.
its more like a pattern that is beginning to distract from the music
Oh go cry about it. Seriously? Music is for ears, not eyes.
smithsonian pathways has it
Azuquiquu.
