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
Love this!
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
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

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.
Was hoping for A New England but I'd imagine the bloke is awfully fucking tired of playing it. Great set still!
smithsonian pathways has it
Azuquiquu.
