To call it bittersweet is an understatement. Homest, intimate, exhilirating, poignant, funny as hell; looking back, forward and sideways, it's 110 minutes of pure revelation.
For Billy, this one-off solo show at The Basement in Sydney on December 16 2006 distilled his belated realisation that 'playing old songs on an acoustic guitar' could capture the essence of his life's work - as well as present a hushed reception for stunning, previously unheard material.
From Stand By Me circa '65 to his signature version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, his uniquely tilted standards are seamlessly matched by some of Thorpie's own, iconic compositons: the raucous rip of Most People I Know; the breezy lilt of Almost Summer.
Then there are the surprises: loans from Joni Mitchell and the Master's Apprentices; a glimpse of his Moroccan recording project under construction, Since You've Been Gone, and a lost demo that positively chills, Girls of Summer.
