That man can play anything.

@Babaziba She looked underwhelmed with a lot of these performances. She might just be listening hard. or tired. I think with Thompson's rendition of Woodstock she was trying to figure out what tuning he was using. :-)

@sselt Right. Like someone said about painters and (modern) art: "There are thousands of painters who can paint a horse so that everyone recognizes it as a horse. And then there are some who can make you feel the horse."

Tightly wound, passionate, great guitar work (all of them), controlled chaos between verses. BIngo. Is it weird that Joni looks slightly underwhelmed???

rt is without doubt a genius regardless of the merits of this song

Thanks for posting this video! I am a big RT fan (isn't he sexy?) and JM fan familiar with this tune, and am so glad you defended his artistic integrity. Two musicians with a ton of integrity as well as terrestrial talent.

You have never had the privilege of seeing this man live. You will not be sorry, when he is doing his music he is incredible.

The backing band don't really fit with RT. They seem to be overplaying everything. It's far too cluttered. However RT is on top form as usual!



This is a brilliant performance and I guarantee you that if Richard Thompson is singing a dissonant note, it's on purpose.
But then there's always someone who stands in front of a Picasso and blurts out: "No talent at all. That painting looks nothing like a real woman. "

"How is he even famous?????"
Weird definition of fame you have, friend. There're a million infinitely inferior 'artists' far more famous than RT. If you don't like him, to quote another great songwriter, "You don't really care for music, do you?"
