Once again Richard shows that he is one of the very best composers of music alive today.
Such beauty…
Still watching that guitar playing...still no idea how he does it...magical.. Thanks Richard xx
Hello Richard from Winnipeg Canada. I’m Simon’s , your sound engineer, oldest brother Michael. Thank you for taking time to lighten up these dark days. I watched Katherine from the RAH yesterday and now you today. Yes the Brits have it all!! Take care and stay healthy.
UK, you are blessed with great musicians !
Greetings from Germany
Richard Thompson - you never fail to amaze/entertain/please me, over all the years, thank you.
"Thank you for supporting role overhaul ... I've been playing the alcohol since 1960 something ..." The subtitles/closed captions are great when he's talking about the Royal Albert Hall, and even more so during the songs.
Wonderful stuff. This summer is the 40th anniversary of the beginning of my love affair with the music of Richard Thompson, when a co-worker introduced me to I WANT TO SEE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS tonight, the first of hundreds of classic Richard (and sometimes Linda) Thompson albums I've come to love. I have even managed to hear him live around a dozen times. But regardless of the context of hearing his music I've always been stunned by his musical genius and artistry. Though on the negative side, he has always made my own efforts to become proficient on guitar look weak and pathetic. Whatever it is that I do on guitar, what he does is something completely different.
The actual Boss
Just amazing the accomplishments this man has done and continues to do incredible and for those who don't know him?... I've done what I can and will continue to do the truth of the wonders of this wonderful man
Every time I’ve seen Richard Thompson live it has just been him and acoustic guitar. And yet I’ve always come away feeling like I’ve been listening to a full band. How does he do it! Thank you Richard Thompson, for this wonderful set at this difficult time.
He makes that guitar an orchestra
i know it's kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Aydin Kamryn Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
What a beautiful version of Withered And Died, absolutely spellbinding.
A nice thing to stumble across. A long time fan since the 80s. Thank you Richard and Zara!
Thank you for brightening this dark time. Baltimore, MD, USA.
Hi neighbor.
Saw him at the Senator twice, Artscape, Goucher twice, a few times on Eastern Shore and Harrisburg.
Were you at any of those?
@@susanhawkes2519 at least three of those. I’ve also seen him in DC, New York, San Francisco, maybe a few others.
More! More! Please! More!
Thank you! I've loved your music for years and years, to see you bringing joy during this dark time is awesome! You're the best.
Thank you, Richard, and the RAH, for this gift. We were lucky enough to see him at the Birchmere in late January. What a great show. Somehow his guitar playing seems to get even better. Be well, Richard, and everybody!
What a duet! Their voices complement each other so well.
Thank you Mr. Richard.
Thank you Richard!
Thanks for all who made this happen. That Storm Won't Come was magic.
Rhythem and harmonies , thx, I feel better now,
Shocking someone disliked this absolute brilliance!
Absolutely, currently 8 "thumbs down", stupid ass trolls!
It beggars belief. If they don’t like his music, why are they even watching this video? If a sensible person dislikes something they just avoid it. It takes someone with a slightly broken mind to actively seek out something they don’t like and try and tear it down.
I’d love an album from him with Roger McGuin .They would go together guitar and vocally perfectly .Thanks for this great ..
I believe there are a couple of videos on You Tube of the two of them together.
Brilliant. Many thanks Richard and friend for driving the darkness away.
That was GREAT,Thank-you from Upstate,NY.💙Goddess Bless,&keep you safe!🍀🌈Blessed be ⭐
Thanks, Richard and Sarah (?), from a fan from the Fairport days through the present.
Thank you so much for bringing us so joy and so beautifully - at a time when lockdown gets even more confusing. But here's some truly bright sunshine on a grey evening in London. Looking forward to your new album and EP and seeing you in person again. Meanwhile, this was magnificent. Hope it also gets the Albert Hall much needed support. 'til I'm cheering again when you can hear me....
CLASS. National Treasure. Quality musick. Thank you sir
Thank you for your fine music......
The fretwork is hypnotizing. A master truly in action. The equal of Dylan. England's greatest.Ever
‘Equal’? Thompson is beyond such comparisons
Thank you Richard! Last saw you with Bonnie Raitt at the Greek. Them were the days.
I remember the first time I saw Richard, just him & an acoustic guitar. He was amazing & that was when I knew maybe two songs. He’s still amazing now too 👍😬
I'm amazed after all these years of amazing music he can still make something new to make us all sit up in our chairs. Looking forward to the EP.
So true, so felt, so good. Thanks for the poetry
RT the Great! God bless . . . . !
Wow. Here second lockdown in Belgium Richard. Not so funny. But it gives me the chance to rediscover your music. Thanks for that!
Thanks Richard from down here in Melbourne. Wonderful work as always. Stay safe and I hope we will see you again in Australia before too long. Peter C
Ditto from Perth mate. For sure, an Australian tour when things have properly settled down would be fantastic.
I'm in Belgium, and I've seen/heard you about a dozen times in real life (here and in the UK, Sheffield was the last one a couple of years ago), and most certainly looking forward to seeing you again as soon as possible.
John Bush Thank you Both for a great concert Hope to see you both in StratfordonAvon later this year
Thanks Richard,the sun has been shining ridiculously today in London when I wish it would rain in sympathy
We were supposed to be seeing you at Coventry Cathedral next week. Thank you for your music.
Great stuff by a true talent.
- Thanks for the time & efforts. Much appreciated 🙏😃
Very generous of you both, as usual; many thanks x
Thanks so much for doing this!
Brilliant! My last trip to RAH was Richard's 70th birthday party, which was a very special evening. This is a great postscript.
Fantastic, brought me back to my music roots, I forgot how much I loved this type of stuff. A great cover version of 'Beeswing' by an Inverness band, Schiehallion singer, Kenneth Jamieson, made me think to unearth the original, what a find x Fairport Convention eh, now on top of my listening list xx
Spectacular!
Thankyou both again, your generosity is appreciated.
thanks richard
Thanks.
Great of you, cheers!
Saw Richard at a 'real gig' in Manchester a few years ago. Magical. Looking forward to the next. Thank you.
Excellent, as always.
Lovely songs
Oh yeah?
What are the titles in order ?
.
thanks
Wonderfully low-key RT and Zara on harmonies. brilliant on the guitar as always - did a 12-bar blues ever sound so tight (last track)
Donated!
Thank
Richard, Thanks for cheering up a gloomy evening with some depressing, but uplifting songs!! Wonderful performance as ever, it must have been difficult performing to a screen with no audience feedback but I was singing along and clapping :-)
Sorry I won't be seeing you at Cropredy but we are hanging on to our tickets till next year, see you then.
I'm embarrassed to say I'm just recently getting into Richard Thompson's solo works so I'll add this to the RT box sets I just purchased!
I envy you. You've got such a lot to look forward to.
@@Pwecko Thanks!
Naked, honest and lovely! 15 people are inexplicable to me.
The auto generated subtitles are hilarious.
I can imagine!
it seems like only yesterday when sandy denny was singing with fairport convention - who knows where the time goes?
it sounded fairly conventional initially but now it's an im-port-ant song.
Looking forward to the six track EP
Can you elaborate? I wasn't aware of an EP -- though I'm sure I heard RT say during the RAH performance that he had a new album coming out.
richard is looking and sounding great. but always at his best with female accompaniment
What the gods do in their time off.
See you in Shrewsbury Dickie xXx
Would have been nice if the volume was higher.. We can turn it down, but I am maxed out on this.
What are the titles in order ?
RT's my hero since the late 60s. I wrote friendly to SWEs leading rock journalist Mans Ivarsson about his opinion why RT is always labelled Folk or Folk rock, while Dylan, who invented folk rock, invariably is a Rocker, and why in those last days we had record shops in Stockholm had his 20-30 cds in that corner, while RT's 1-2 had to cram with The Goinge lasses in Folk (very local Swedish folk). You guessed rightly, Ivarsson never sent any reply.
found him from sweet talker movie
starts at 0:31
Her home?
"Interesting" harmonies on Wall Of Death.
Loved it.
I have tickets for the Canterbury show, but I guess that will be cancelled
I love Richard Thompson's music but I wonder if he ever takes that beret off.
"On 10 May 2020, legendary singer-songwriter Richard Thompson, formerly of Fairport Convention will deliver an exclusive set from her home as part of the Royal Albert Home sessions." Really? When did Richard Thompson have a sex change operation and why weren't we told?
If you are refering to Fairport Convention he was one of the singers on "Full House", after Sandy Denny left.
@@ruitezinho8817 I was talking about where it said Richard Thompson will deliver a set from HER home. It should have been HIS home.
@@Pwecko Sorry. I didn't notice that. Old age, you know...
Hello Mr Thompson! I love your music!! Have done for the last 15 years! Could i request a song to consider as a cover - NELLY FURTADO/SAY IT RIGHT. I hear it as a sufi love-song to the beloved!!
what is the title of the second song?
‘Withered and died’ from the incredible album ‘I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight’
I am getting major echo on audio - anyone else?
Stop fooling around and get well soon we need you more than e need us
Stop fooling around get well soon we need you more than you need us
'Working from home' has become 37 minutes and 28 seconds less productive.
I presume the few who didn't like this have no musical taste
Frankly, overall, this was a bit poor. It was fun seeing RT faffing about with his guitar and paperwork. And his singing/playing was just OK. But when Zara joined in it was a bit rank. She may have a good voice but it didn't show through this time. Too loud, too raucous. Was she trying too hard? No subtlety. Almost as if she was trying to out sing him.
Frankly, noone gives a shit what you think, I'm sure.
Sometimes a comment says more about the mood of the commentator at the time of commenting than about the performance being commented on. Perhaps that is the case here.
@@dominickrobertson6870 , good point! Here's a related quote: "The fact that you see me as a political folk singer says more about you than it does about me; I'm just singing about the lives and struggles of real people". Roy Bailey (RIP). PS, Martin Simpson is Roy Bailey's son-in-law, and if you're a Richard Thompson fan and you don't also know about Martin Simpson, well you really should!
I wish my playing was just OK
@@DB1956 nor you either.
Thank you Richard!
