Billy Bragg - You Woke Up My Neighbourhood (1991)

[GJ3200]

DCFC is no where near as good as this. they do not have the range to do this song! BB is a great song writer. one of the most under rated song writers of our time.

Holy crap. I just realized this was 20 years ago, when I first heard him, and we've both gotten old! Dammit!

[97Lordflash]

This song really reminds me of this girl I love. It's quite a beautiful song.

[ahmazingg66]

uhmm... i'm not emo. death cab's just more talented.

[friedegg3000]

man, i wish the original video for this song was on youtube somewhere. the one with stipe...

[bryndis15]

I was searching for it because I heard a young Phill Jupitus directed and stared in it. Unfortunately..nowhere to be found..:(

[ahmazingg66]

death cab's cover is way better.

[macbethworld]

Die, emo kid. It is a travesty that their video has more hits than Billy's.

[UsualMike]

You've got to be kidding. You're kidding, right?

[veritasrex66]

@ahmazingg66 I just listened to Death Cabs version, and it actually sounds EXACTLY like the studio version by Billy Bragg. This live version is quite a bit faster than the one from Don't Try This at Home.

[Diotima012]

Such a fantastic performer

[hellomydearagain]

billys the best!

[leelemon73]

Im at the front with the bleached hair - great gig!

[kateiskrazee]

billy you look so young here.....or am i just getting old lol

[magictruitt]

death cab's version is better

(just my opinion)

no offense to billy bragg fans

[colonslappy]

oooh how very dare you!

[TomBandfield]

Fair enough, I've not heard death cab's version. I dunno why people get so offended when people dare to speak against their favourite band/artist though. Get a life people, AND I SAY THAT AS A BILLY BRAGG FAN. I love his stuff, but it doesn't bother me at all if other people don't. Why the fuck should it?!

[honuecker]

WOO! Go Tom!

[honuecker]

I agree with you, but that's because I love the acoustic guitar

[TylerMansmith1229]

@magictruitt i absolutely agree with you. I like the acoustics better than this band version

[samchuckabutty]

I'm sure this would have been the same tour in which I saw him at Liverpool.My friends and I almost met him as we were in contact with the local radio station who had him on after the gig.

Lovely song and great memories thanks.

I seem to remember the support act doing something with an ironing board.

Also there was the 'Groove is in the heart' finale'.He looks like a baby in the clip!

[billgrant88]

Utterly brilliant

[uncleavi2002]

I saw this tour in 1991 and it was a lot of fun!

[teenagelobotomy14]

this video is incredible.

thanks so much for posting it.
