Definitive Richard. Watching this is like taking a master class. Totally inspiring. The pinnacle. Amazing improvs on this one. Thanks for posting Brilliant. Who needs a band?
This *is* a pretty spectacular version. I suspect there's not more comments because there's already several versions of this song on RU-vid, and a lot of people, like me, just never got around to watching all of this one.
Back in the seventies us acolytes had a standing joke: "Richard Thompson". "Who"? What REALLY annoys me is that he writes songs as well. Takes me all my time to remember the Sweetex in my tea...
Best version so far. But since RT continues to get better, just wait until next year and there will be a better one! Maybe if the twits at Rolling Stone saw this, they'd rank RT a little higher than #19 on their infamous list.
I think maybe Richard's a little tired of this one. I was at one of the all request shows last month and it was the only request he refused to play except for a couple others he felt he couldn't play.
