Don't know how I missed this one first time around - many thanks for sharing I'm looking forward to hearing this one.

cheers

Many thanks for this excellent Richard Thompson "Sweet Warrior" show. Saw them in Liverpool, UK on this tour and met the guy himself. What a great guy, he even signed some CD covers for me and a copy of the set list as well.

Elated to read the love for RT (and especially for a show that features a full band, a rarity for R Thompson) > this show focuses on the rock side of his songcraft.

I was surprised when I first posted this show to get O responses, so thanks to those who found this show and replied here.

i've actually seen him a TON of times, solo and band...and i honestly began to skip the solo gigs here probably 10 years ago.
he comes through chicago a LOT.

however i'm nuts for hearing him play electric, anytime.

nice to see this gig is with mike jerome drumming with rt again.
i think it was the old kit bag tour where i saw him play a hugely impressive show.
restraint AND power that guy.

IS this danny thompson on bass here?
i kept getting just bits of intros during my one listen to this, so i'm not sure...and you wrote 'w/o'(='without' usually, but why write it at all then?)...typo?

i kept following rt links down and your came up (finally!) at the end of 3 of them.

fantastic show that you're very lucky to have seen.

Danny started out on bass on this tour but had to return to England due to a family member's health. (That is why I add w/o, sorry for the confusion.)

I am glad RT still tours a lot but things are much different when he has a band and plays electric guitar.

The 930 is a great place to see a band, bare bones and close!

[Razordance]

Thanks. Looking forward to it. I met on the You? Me? Us? tour in Toronto, and he's a really cool guy. I ended up getting in a bit of a friendly disagreement with him over the merits of the Heyday album, which is one of my favourites, and apparently not one of his :-)

[kooda]

thanx. excited to hear this one. never have heard of him.

nope, this upload is primarily the songs> occasionally there was stage banter or a long intro before a song and that would be labeled as 8a...
