Richard Thompson in Concert

I saw Richard Thompson last night in a very nice, intimate 1,000 seat hall (vintage circa 1885) in Lawrence, KS. All I have to say is that it takes a remarkable talent to be able to stand up there alone with nothing more than a microphone and a guitar and keep 1,000 people spellbound for two hours.

This is the third time I've seen him, second time with just him and his guitar. If he's headed your way, you might want to check it out. Consumate songwriter, amazing guitarist, unique and soulful voice. Highlights of the show included "1952 Vincent Black Lightning", "Shenandoah", Wall of Death" and his rendition of "Whoops, I Did It Again" (performed seriously, but in jest all the same) that almost made the piece of Brittany Spears crap worth listening to...
