Chumbawamba - 'Buy Nothing Day' - live at Butlins, Skegness, 2nd December 2011

After waiting 25 years, I finally got to see Chumbawamba live in concert. This is the last (and best?) song from their hour long show at the Centre Stage in Butlins at Skeggy.

'Buy Nothing Day' (from the 2004 album 'Un') is about an anti-consumerist holiday. A live version is on thier 2006 CD 'Get on with it'.

I love these lines . . . which are NOT on the CD version

They sounded like shit and they weren't on too long
(buy buy buy)
There was far too much talking and not enough song
(buy buy buy)
A week's wages they take for this show
(buy buy buy)
And the bastards won't play the one song play the only song that you know
(buy buy buy)

You can hear me yell in agreement!!!

As far as I know, this is the ONLY video of Chumbawamba on YouTube showing the new folk version of the group.

Recorded with a Sony TG7 Camcorder.
