I don’t do too many standing shows; my flat feet, even with supports, don’t hold up too well. But it was worth the pain that lingers there to finally see Billy Bragg at his recent performance in The Atlantis on his Roaring Forty Tour.
Billy didn’t make it easy on my feet, as he certainly gave the audience at the sold-out venue their money’s worth. He started playing about 8:30pm, and he didn’t finish until 11pm, over which time he played songs from across his long career, and offered stories and commentary in his wickedly barbed, dry British sense of humor.
