The World Turned Upside Down live from Rote Lieder 1998 - Billy Bragg

The World Turned Upside Down always sounds best played on that green Burns Steer. Probably would have sounded even better if I hadn’t broken a string halfway through, but PUNK ROCK!

Such a killer song, and one that still gets me fired up today. "You poor take courage, you rich take care" ✊

Billy in my view will always be the people's poet. The vision will never cease.

[@krypton2k]

What a tune!

[@Jeremyramone]

He bloody nailed it, what a great song, thank you very much for sharing this

Danke für‘s teilen!
Die Aufnahme ist, soweit ich mich erinnere aber von 1988. Ich war bei einem der Konzerte die Billy dort gab.
Es war für mich einer der entscheidenden Momente im Leben. Ich stand sofort in Flammen und dachte:
„ja, er gibt uns eine Stimme…“
Eins der prägenden musikalischen Erlebnisse in meinem Leben.

Back then, I lived on the other side of town from Saint George's Hill. The not so posh side. Billy Bragg's lyrics really hit the spot for me. Them and us. The haves and have-nots. This song changed my life.

This is a Leon Rosselson song. Bill didn't write this.

[@sandrullala]

Yes, the song is from 1988 in the GDR.

Billy, were you using a flanger?

[@antoniomoura1752]

Uma mega responsabilidade e coragem que o acompanhou até os dias de hoje
