I grew up with Richard playing at my dad's record store 2 or 3 times a year as a kid. The first time I got to see him with a band was the mirror blue tour in Utah where he walked on stage and asked what everyone's favorite band was . Someone yelld out the Mormon tabernacle choir . He promptly responded with well we got a surprise for you tonight it's the morman tabernacle choir joining us in our version of spinal tap's lick my love pump . That's probably the moment I really started to appreciate RT his seance of humor is just as spot on as his guitar .

I can hear why he isn't more successful. In fact, it's obvious: He doesn't really sound like anybody else, and you can't quite classify his music. Yes, it's British folk-rock, as far as the songs go, although a loose, creative, open-ended take on that tradition; but then you add in that he plays more guitar - and more MUSIC on the guitar - than almost anybody, and you've got someone who doesn't fit into any easy box, and is nearly impossible to market to a single easy demographic. Plus, he's nearly 70, in a business where the big sellers are marketed to 12-year-olds. I'm just glad he's got a big enough cult audience to make an OK living at touring, and does well enough at that to hire a first-rate band.

Baribrotzer - I'd also add that a lot of RT's work is not immediately accessible/easy listening. For example his electric guitar solos are not always melodic, rarely blues based (although some are), and take some effort to 'get'. I now prefer his electric guitar work to anyone else i can think of - ( I mean who else can make a guitar sound like a bag pipe?) but it took me some time. RT also made a deliberate decision not to go down the commercial route and refused offers to produce his music by, amongst others, Joe Boyd.

Which was the goal of most of the rockers from his era. I'm real glad he didn't strive for that. It's been a wonderful career, given me much joy.

You know, I just watched this entire video, and I"m thinking ... I have watched a *lot* of Jeff Beck lately too, on youtube. I've been a fan of Eric Clapton since his fire breathing days with Cream, and dug into his Bluesbreakers catalogue too. And then there's Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day - a totally fantastic, remarkable *one time* performance - massive proof they were a truly great band. It doesn't get any better than Beck/Clapton/Page. But I'm thinking ... those guys cannot touch Richard Thompson. RT is a *great* singer now (even of other people's material - check out his version of Joni Mitchell's Black Crow). Look at all the amazing songs he's written. Jeff Beck's prime is now(!), and both of them are mind blowing players. But JB can't sing, or write, like RT.

I can always listen to this again - especially my favourite 'Put it there Pal' - those lyrics cut like a knife, and the guitar solo is amazing.

When I saw Richard Thompson at the Rainbow in the the early 1980's it was one of the top five live performances I've ever whitnessed. It's not just his songs, it's his top drawer and unique guitar playing. The other four are U2 at Brixton Academy in about 1984, Niel Young backed by Booker T and the MGs at Finsbury Park around 1990 I believe, Bob Dylan backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Wembley Arena around 1987-ish, Peter Gabriel at Earls Court in the early 1980's and the Greatfull Dead who I saw at Wembley in 1991 (I think) with Bruce Hornsby sitting in on piano. Thompson was easily as good as that lot, and from this video it seems he still is.

He did say on stage though - he was happy / surprisingly to have been making a living at it over the last 50years.

RT is a fluid guitarist equally proficient on acoustic and electric guitars .He has a mature voice that blends into his musical landscape effortlessly. He can fire off fiery guitar riffs like Clapton, Chuck Berry, Jeff Beck, Neil Young etc.and play delicate acoustic guitar like John Renbourn, Leo Kottke, Al Di Meola and Steve Stills. He played with Fairport Convention, his wife Linda and solo for several years and came up with several brilliant albums. He has been on forefront of folk music without a great deal of commercial success . He is the ultimate cult musician and his music grows on people

1:24:20 and the next 10 secs or so: Listen closely to Richards guitar, look at his face when he notices, looks down and discovers what he's done. Hilarious on so many levels! A clear mistake, still sounds somewhat like his "atonal mode", his absolute coolness about the whole thing when so many others would have cringed etc.. "Oh, wrong fret! Let's fix that and move on."

I've just got back from the Liverpool concert. He was fantastic. The setlist was the same as in the video. I was a bit disappointed. This was sold as the 13 Rivers tour. I was hoping for more from the new album. Still, it was a great concert. The highlights for me were a particularly vicious Put It There Pal and, of course, the Can't Win solo. Sadly, as seems usual, ninety five per cent of the audience had grey hair (or none). It would be great if RT could get a younger audience.

dmn23 - I think the version of Put it there Pal he plays at Austin Texas with Danny Thompson on double bass is exactly as you describe (it was on YT but has been removed - I'll just have to buy the DVD). At one point the solo almost loses all melodic connection to the song and then - as you say - just when you think 'where the hell is he going with this?' the melody comes back in and - well - I needn't say anymore. I found his electric solos hard to get a handle on when I first heard them - apart from the more bluesy ones of course - but now I love them and can't think of another player I'd rather hear. As for Calvary Cross, well that is just sheer madness from beginning to end - love it - hearing a touch of it in the song Trying.

RT as his own support act? Lucky Torquay. I would gladly pay more to see an acoustic set of maybe an hour and then an electric set of the usual 90 minutes. The ticket prices for the tour are very reasonable indeed. In fact, something of a bargain for our national treasure (even if he does insist of living in the US of A). Not sure if Richard would have the stamina though. None of us are getting any younger.

I'm not the only one that thinks his singing has improved, then. He's amazing. I saw him earlier in the summer in Macclesfield and I'm seeing him again tomorrow in Liverpool. I'm guessing that tomorrow's set will contain more of the new album. I'm looking forward to it.

His support act did not arrive due to an accident on the M5, so he played a 30 minute acoustic slot, then did the full band performance after the interval. Star man. Sadly, the attendance was quite poor, and Bath is not sold out either. Doesn't seem long ago I saw him packing them in at Symphony Hall in Birmingham, Colston Hall in Bristol, amongst others.

David Hinchliffe - I'm surprised - sold out at Brighton last year and I had trouble getting a ticket for Bexhill for this tour - only a few cheaper seats left way back in the summer - smallish venues I guess - but still I doubt there's a falling off in his popularity - in fact YTube has probably vastly increased his following.

Having just listened to Guitar Heroes yet again it occurs to me that there is a conceit at the heart of this song - and that conceit is that, when RT says at the end 'I still don't know how my heroes did it' he is, of course, not being honest is he? Not only is he capable of playing in all of these styles, he has his own unique style - need I say more?

I think both are original song writers with their own peculiar sound/style - both musical geniuses IMO, but I would place RT first and Martyn second.

@@honeychurchgipsy6 Yes he is - Martyn started out much like Richard as a plain and simple folkie, and even as he moved across to electronic effects and more jazz influences he stuck to an acoustic guitar - only going to electric guitars much later.

I do indeed love Richard Thompson though, and fortunately - unlike John Martyn - is still with us and playing/writing.

I first saw him at the Ark (of course) in Ann Arbor in 1986. It was a cold winter night and we were late. Walking into the Ark, the rocking beat of Wall of Death came out. That was the first time I ever saw RT live. This year on 2/13 we saw him at the Boulder Theatre, front row seats, one of a small handful of artists I'd pay that kind of money for. This electric trio is very good. RT is, if possible, better than ever. I just can't find the words to say how great he is. He's really operating on a whole other level. Who plays guitar like that? And writes so many great songs. And sings with such soul. And such a humble person. I feel like he's channeling some ancient Celtic minstrel story-telling magic. Just so astonishingly good.

malcalm - only seen him 3 times so far - 4th is next month and I can't wait. I am a late developer where RT's music is concerned having been made to listen to Vincent Black Lightning by my brother about 12 years ago. What followed was a slow burn - it took me a while to really appreciate his genius - but now I can't think of anyone better - especially on electric guitar - and his song writing - wow!! And the great thing is that I still have a huge back catalogue to trawl through. At present I'm really into both the Sweet Warrior, and You? Me? Us? albums. There's an excellent YT video of RT playing a live acoustic/stripped down version of 'A Love You Can't Survive' that I love to watch - his voice is amazing. I really envy those who have been fans for a long time and had the chance to see him so many times.

Set list from Keswick Theater 11/10/2018: Bones of Gilead Her Love Was Meant For Me Take Care The Road You Choose Tale In Hard Time Guitar Heroes Storm Won't Come They Tore The Hippodrome Down Dry My Tears and Move On 52 Vincent Black Lightning The Rattle Within *Never Give It Up* You Can't Win The Way That It Shows Put It There Pal Wall of Death Tear Stained Letter Bee's Wing Take A Heart (The Sorrows cover) A great, long set from this generous legend, spanning his 50+ year career. Opened up on several of his new ones from 13 Rivers, which is a 'barn burner'. Extended bridge solos (at least one of 3+ minutes on I believe You Can't Win), and of course blazing, seemingly impossible fret and picking work throughout. His 2+ man backup for the 'Trio' is just outstanding - the drummer in particular is obviously enjoying himself immensely, grinning widely, singing backup and bashing insanely the whole time. Just a fantastic show. My new best concert ever, with Shawn Colvin opening, as charming and full-timbred of voice as ever. See him while you can. There likely won't be another of his like.

Minor correction - Never give it up was after Can't Win. Was there, too. The solos and drumming on You can't win were stellar. Simply outstanding musicianship, especially from RT and his drummer. I've seen a LOT of live shows, and his drummer ranks in the top 3 I've seen. My only complaint - everybody stayed in their seats! Surely that has an impact on the band, although you wouldn't know it from Saturday nights show. Trying was on the setlist that I got from the sound guy (first song of second encore before Take a Heart), but was not played.

Certainly hasn't lost any edges he had. Hard to get people to grasp what seeing him in action is like - as someone there that night said to me "he's a force of nature".

He seems inexhaustible not only in songwriting but, maybe even more impressively, in guitar playing. I mean, Clapton has been playing the same solo for 55 years, Page has been treading water for decades, but with RT every time is different. All the same I wish he would be a bit less prolific, ditch the merely okay material and produce the all-gold album he is probably still capable of.
