Billy Bragg - Days Like These (From The Tube)

[bluenose1986]

Still got this on a much treasured VHS recorded straight from telly on the night. Loved the Tube and Billy Bragg too.

Love the guitar as well...'BURNS STEER'..!!!!!! The original not the reissue..

EarlGrey - mobile phones cost about £1600 in 1987, and were very rare.

Brilliant, sums it up from the 80s and still true today

Excellent stuff.

Vintage Billy. Any ideas on the year?

[pgl0897]

@retrobabe70 1987 is my guess.

[SepradistPhantom]

Is that Jools Holland at the beginning?

Guitar is Burns the Steer.

Funny the PA hiccup in the end.

[bigbennyhammer]

[triceratops111]

Aw, look at skinny, grayless Billy! Man: would've loved to attend those Red Wedge concerts.

Makes me feel quite young and Mr Bragg too I expect. x
