Did i just hear that from the sacophone? May as well say it anyway, since it still turns me on and gets me to dance in 2026! Thank you for for greasy rendition of Lo-el"s classic!; 🎉 Cheers,~

"indian givers" - ugh...

Richard AND LINDA, moron. Get it the fuck right.

Such a beautiful song and a great performance by Linda.

Breathtaking ❤

Saw this exact lineup doing this number at the Albany Empire in either 1983 or 1984, on the Hand of Kindness tour. Absolutely brilliant.

So infectious a groove that the horn players are skanking along when they’re not playing

A peak moment in the history of Western civilization.

Britain's finest ginger, despite stiff competition

I love RT's sense of humor... "this is in B"..... cracks me up!

Still brilliant, after all these years!!!

Happy 73rd Birthday to Richard.

Lets not forget the talented Jo El Sonnier.

Ah, the old days when RT and Peggy still had some hair...

The world's no place when you're on your own.

no ego just spirit, pure brilliance and originality

💋💜🌺🌺🌺

F'ing brilliant!

Richard finished off his set at Cropredy this year with this crowd favourite.

what a brilliant performance, I'd heard this song on the radio but didn't know who it was. was only after I heard & bought the rumour & sigh album ( because I heard I feel so good, ) that I realised it was the same man.

Johnny cash's version is better in my opinion

I've been playing this on repeat for months. Beautiful, just beautiful.

RIP Pete Zorn

Love this tune. Great crowd pleaser when done live. He toured with a wonderful band in the early '90's which included Clive Gregson and Christine Collister on backing guitar and vocals. They tore up the Bottom Line in NYC together after Amnesia was released. I've never been the same since.

Supernatural good

just heard it on the radio, thought it was david byrne singing. great song!

early 90's saw RT w/ @ 120 others @ Sarasota Opera House. after the show he invited ''ALL" of us backstage. Myself, Joan, & 7 nerds showed up & 1 guy got his dad's Fairport Convention T-shirt signed. To get a rise outta RT I asked him @ my "fave" band Blodwyn Pig and had my "A Head Rings Out" cd for him to sign. He scoffed & said, "Oh, pity you. I'll not be signing that!" We had a laugh as he knew I was not serious. Mr.Thompson is cool (if that's still a 'cool' term)!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the most unique musicians I've ever encountered. Bravo!

Doesn't hurt to havre Dave Mattacks (drums), Simon Nichol (rhythm Kelloggs guitar), and Dave Pegge (bass) - most of Fairport Convention - as your backup band.

Truisms are odorous..

Lovely! It has kind of a Nick Lowe feel about it, as did a lot of UK music in 1984.

Lucky enough to know this man and in 1984 made him a ckae in the shape of a tear stained letter!

You're very lucky to have seen him live.

My goodness, 35-year-old Richard Thompson was a looker. (The staggering talent doesn't hurt or anything, either.)

Saw RT and guest band perform this at Cropredy this weekend. Fantabuloso, one of the highlights of the festival.

your comments mirror my son's (b orn same year as you).....I told him to check out Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac "World Keeps Turning" on RU-vid. This guy was our hero back in the day...real stuff for sure.

Beautiful...thanks Nancy for the introduction

If you haven't already, have a listen to 'the Ghost of You Walks' - to further touch that tender spot:)

Phew! Uppitydodah!

Did you notice right at the end how the guy presenting is just sat with head down, completely absorbed in the performance. Clearly he was in the right job for all the right reasons:)

So this may have been 3 years before I was even born but I love this!! This music is actually music with REAL instruments. Not machines meant to sound like instruments or instruments made to sound BETTER with machines or any of that...very enjoyable

Beautiful Do you know Richard's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning?"

Tom Hanks played sax in this band? (3:16)

Top notch song and performance. Glad to see and hear this.

just spine-chillingly wonderful every time still

I love this song and can't get it out of my mind. It was rated as one of the top 100 songs.

Great song!

perfection

@SAHBfan Pegg was in Jethro Tull's band as bass player as well as being in Fairport Convention. Went with the whole Tull band "look" at that time.
