saw Colvin open for Thompson at Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake City in 1992 and Richard invitee Shawn up on stage and they worked together beautifully... one of the most memorable music events I have witnessed!
"She tells everyone she was born in a ditch....she back combs her hair 'til she looks like a witch"....Richard not only plays the meanest guitar in the west, he has a keen intellect - for politics, history, culture, all genres of music. Not too many musicians I enjoy just sitting and reading the lyrics in a quiet space. Go, Richard, Go!
I have seen many concerts.... the best was the outdoor show withr Richard Thompson inviting opener Shawn Colvin to help out on his set... that was something very special.
I saw him on this tour, he played a small room that seated about 400 people, so he played two shows in the same night. After the first show, I was walking past the very low stage, and saw a set list taped to a post that showed a very different set list for the second show -- so I stayed for the second show as well.
One of the greatest concert-going experiences of my "career."
Every time somebody goes on and on about some guitar god, I tell them check out RT's solo on Mother Knows Best. I first heard it driving in my car.....nearly went off the road with goosebump attack!!!!
And, cleverly disguised profile of Mrs. Thatcher, dontcha know?
