What is there possibly to dislike !
other than the rest of the concert isn't here !

When Richard Thompson first heard the 'Beano' album with the Bluesbreakers he shit his pants and said who is that that can play guitar like that?. It was Clapton. Then Jimi came over and Richard shit his pants again. And I love Richard Thompson.

Shuda been in Primus!

@zaytuni actually, considering what a piece of shit song tears in heaven is, i don't think richard COULD have written it. also, he's more than capable of peeling off a blues solo (i.e. throwaway street puzzle or mr. lacey) he just chooses not to.

I know I'm nit-picking, but there's a 2-and-a-bit second timelag between the video and the audio which is so annoying when you're trying to follow his finger work.
But he is a genius.

@Limesquibbo Are you sick in the head? This is richard thompson. Have some respect.

@iambingojesus That's true........

@Limesquibbo: Only one idiot here. Thompson was #19 on Rolling Stone magazines Top 100 Guitarists of All Time. Clapton is a populist, blues-lite journeyman. Easy-listening for the smart denim set. Thompson is still, at 62, a fearsome guitarist, a true innovator who would sooner stick pins in his eyes than peel off a blues lick. Seen him live many times, acoustic and with a full band, and for a guitarist like me there are few finer experiences. Seen Clapton. Not bad. No Richard Thompson, though..

I saw this line up last week in Salisbury. They were phenomenal, the drummer especially. I'd go and see them again just to hear Sidney Wells done live. Awesome.

This year, Richard is touring the US, mostly East Coast and California venues. Loudon Wainright III will be on the bill with him on the East Coast. A lot of the shows are sold out. I'm assuming this is an all acoustic series. Thompson is a player for people with sophisticated tastes - he's never compromised his art to achieve mass appeal yet remains very much in demand as he passes his 60th year of age.
