Seen him many times. He does, in fact, have no equal. He is playing a Lowden which he bought from the Guitar Shop in Washington DC. I have the same model set up the same as his, which I also bought from them. And though I love mine and play it well, I'm in no danger of challenging his technique in this lifetime.
This ol' boy is the real deal. If you ever get the chance to see him perform, treat yourself. You won't be sorry. The man is a mixture of troubadour, minstrel, and master songwriter. He has no equal.
I have seen RT all around the S West of UK including numerous Cropredys with band solo but never in USA So green eggs and ham where are you Sam i am??
Is there anyone in Colorado to go with me to see RT? Been a fan for all the years, Fairport and on. It just would be great to share his talent with someone who really loves his music. I drag my son along, he is 26, and he is amazed, but someone maybe more my age? Not looking for dates, just music. At my age, I have had too many dates....
Thanks for posting...I'm too old to go to Bonnaroo so seeing this video is the next best thing! Saw R.T. in Ashville a few years ago...one of the best performers I ever seen!
Yes indeed. He is truly in a class by himself. No other musician of his generation has continued to be as prolific as RT. And he keeps pushing his songwriting and guitar playing to new levels of excellence
not the best-ever version,but a fair sample of the god of acoustic guitar and songwriting...my MAIN man..Richard Thompson!!!

Pure genius, folks. As said by daf827, hes in a class by himself. A nonpareil, both Richard and the Vincent Black Lightening!
