[Kilchattan7]

Any time you see these three together they always laugh and smile joy and fun

[moonbeamchaos]

Couldn't find this ANYWHERE in any search on YouTube---thank goodness for Google, or I would NEVER have found it!

[moonbeamchaos]

Jesus. Nobody can do it like RT----and with good harmony, it's heaven.

[Gooseberry51]

Great! Love the 1000 years of ... line-up!

[sinvasion]

the song is 'Remember, O Thou Man' were written by Thomas Ravenscroft (c.1592 - c.1635)

[rocktenniscat]

Hey, this is great! I love that Milkman song - hadn't heard it for years. (Fats Waller, I think) RT was supposed to play "1,000 Years" in Toronto (Hugh's Room) but cancelled. It was the year of SARS (remember the 400,000 strong concert - ACDC, Stones, Rush, etc?).... still waiting for that 1,000 Years Show.....

[cinnamonbrandylite]

I'm impressed - so many comments, and not one that says 'one bloke, two girls - how come he's still playing that guitar?'...

well.

until now.

;-))))

[BlakkDuv]

Sorry if I'm repeating an answered question but what is the song he does at the end?

[daf827]

This is a delight! Thanks, Joni36. Where did you come by these vids?

[lordofblackness]

awsome! ; p

[jimmyboy8005]

correction: awesome

[JoHigh]

This is great...love it thanks

[Ze18613]

This is really good, as you'd expect of something linked with Richard Thompson.

Actually I think I have a crush on the woman next to RT. There's something about a pretty blond with a beautiful voice which makes my heart melt.

[Pragjag]

You'll have to fight Derek Smalls (and Groundkeeper Willie etc.) for her - it's Harry Shearer's wife.

[Ze18613]

It'd still be worth it.

[rugshort]

I think I could take him.

[Ducktowners]

Maybe...if you get the first punch!

*Grounds keeper Willie is a real bad ass!

[Ducktowners]

ha ha ha

[Mulwany]

dan castellaneta voices groundskeeper willie, thank you....:)

[AnnihilatingAngel]

@Ze18613 I'm with you. Very pretty, appealing lady.

[Phalces]

very cool.....

[rupagoswami]

[editorjuno]

Old Christmas carol, "Remember O Thou Man" -- there are lyrics and a note about it on RT's website.

[rupagoswami]

Thanks a lot..I saw the "1000 Years" show,in Northampton a couple of weeks ago.The man is so talented.I love him & Danny live-the interplay is stunning.I'm off to Amazon to get "Henry the Human Fly"...must fly!

[editorjuno]

Thompson isn't the wild poetic genius that Dylan is, but he's a thousand times the musician. His work with Judith and Debra is as good in its own way as his solo and full band stuff, with the best three-part harmony he's done since his classic mid-'80s "Across A Crowded Room" tour with Clive and Christine.

[FairportMatty]

cool, well done

[WaftyHippyLass]

Fan flamin' tastic. What a lucky cabbie! :)

[Schwenck66]

Thompson is a genius, second only to Dylan. This is him 'resting' from his own work. All of his side projects are interesting, but his own work is absolutley essentail listening.

[owlavatar]

nice :)

[minguseyes]

Joni36 I am your RT Junkie!

Thanks for the fix...

[Tessietots]

Fantastic!!! I just LOVE this man!

[ScarletSweetPea]

You and me both, sister.

This is a great series--and a wonderful evocation of RT's personality, which doesn't always show through in "professional" video recordings.
