A triple bill with Greg Trooper and Meryn Cadell (?) opening.<br />It was a bitter cold night. My friend and I were admiring the "Capitalism is Killing Music" t-shirts on sale by the door when the front door to the club opened and Billy pushed past us and on into the back - his face red and nose running from the extreme cold.<br />A few minutes later the show began with Meryn Cadell (if I recall correctly) taking the stage. About midway through her set Billy came out behind her and started dancing around in bright red onesie long johns. She couldn't figure out why everyone started laughing at her.<br /><br />Later Greg Trooper took the stage. He amazed the crowd when, after violently strumming his guitar he broke 3-4 strings. He kept right on going, stomping his foot and singing nonesense while frantically restringing the guitar with extras he had in his pocket. Bah Dah duh Dah Dah *stomp* *stomp* dah duh while bent over giving the guitar a quick tune. He was able to finish the song with all 6 strings restored. The crowd went nuts. Billy called him out again later to sing "Over There". A memorable night.<br /><br />I saw him in 91 at the Spectrum with the Red Stars - a more subdued affair.PintMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-40476063723798882292011-06-20T22:55:12.750-05:002011-06-20T22:55:12.750-05:00I've never really been a huge Billy Bragg fan ...I've never really been a huge Billy Bragg fan (more out of ignorance than distaste), but Kirsty MacCall has been criminally overlooked here in the states.
