Husband-and-wife duo Richard and Linda Thompson performing a cover of the Moman/Penn classic 'Dark End Of The Street' on stage at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, on April 25, 1975. This bonus track can be found on the re-issue of the pair's album 'Pour Down Like Silver' released on Island Records.
My favourite version of this much covered song. Only a man wracked with as much guilt as Richard Thompson (surely folk music's George Orwell - for both guilt AND talent!) can do justice to this tale of illicit desire, and Linda, as always, sings it so well!
