Richard Thompson - Gethsemane - VH1 2003

[kywomanlml]

So generous of VH1 to give Richard a red backdrop, a stool and a couple of mic stands. But, then again, all he really needs is his voice, his words and his guitar.

[banarish]

Why the red? It's hard to get used to. But the mics and mic stands, and camera work, are all thoughtful, like they're listening.

When will the world recognise this remarkable man?

[daf827]

@costellodan the world does recognize his brilliance. it's just that he's just too literate, too dark and too ironic for the masses. as a longtime fan, I can say that RT is adored by his audience.

I find it disappointing that people say guys like Clapton and Santana are the best living guitarists when Richard Thompson is alive and ridiculously more amazing. I could listen to him all day, and he's the man I aspire to play guitar like. Such an under-appreciated genius.

@broadwayscaera And he is so lovely modest and funny. Love his music to pieces!!!

[sighnet]

fab!

[siancanning]

I love this, the lyrics are superb. You can really imagine being a child again.

RT doesn't normally play his acoustic guitar acoustically (I know that sounds stupid, but think about it). Quite like the softer feel.

[warriorjim1979]

The best living guitarist strikes again!

[sailorcancer]

oh my god.

He is just so good.

I'll never get over it.

[ak47doubletap]

thanks ! his voice is not any other. This song is Great !

[progmetal1972]

this has to be the best artist VH1 ever landed on their show!
