Why the capo? Easier action? Just like the voicing?

The insurance on that motorbike at that age would be prohibitively expensive. And he can't surely be encouraging driving without insurance.

This song is very special to me.

... 정말 당신만이 가능한 느낌, 분위기, 매력 입니다.

Any details of actual date,venue etc.

First tune I learned as a 15 year old. Me old man said “son you learn this you learn guitar” he weren’t wrong. 35 years later I’m still playing it. But not as good as Bert. But I’ll get there.

what a knobhead

The laughing when he starts singing is completely obnoxious of the crowd. Im not a britney fan at all. But its about sales and making money. She made more money in a week of that song being released than everyone in that room will do in their entire lifetime.

Can metal people just please take over the world already?? We’d have taken over already, but we’re too busy being chill:)

And another thing, along with the awesome guitar playing, what a voice!

As a 20 year old gutair player who can just about get away with playing this song at the very few Gigs I get.thus song is just incredible. The finger picking is astounding, the odd tuning, the story, the lyrics

You know the other two on the stage are thinking, God! What am I going to follow that with?

I don't know why people make such a fuss about this song.Its quite tedious imo.And Thompson's voice is so monotone and lacking in color.And theres no point in writing lyrics if your diction is so bad we can't tell what you are singing about.Disappointing all round.

What a disappointing performance.I'd been told about how great this song was but after watching this i'm feeling a bit let down to be honest.

This is amazing, and his guitar work is on that next level

Excellent work!!!

Richard F. Thompson

Oh my goodness 😊

jfc i'm destroyed.

A 52 Vincent and a Red Headead girl

Got it and will not let go...

Damn, what a song!

Oh dear lord. If you want a good laugh, read the auto transcript.

Всё равно он англичанин

Richard decides to be a wild rock chick in the way that he knows how

I think it’s about Virginia

This is absolutely beautiful

The 1952 Vincent Black Lightning never had keys

Baby believe me I've been knowing that forever 😊

Came here to flush my tear ducts.

There are those artists who take your mind off the world's problems because they simply distract. Then, there are those like Richard Thompson, who channel the divine and remind you it exists.

Love it! And the quasi-static background of your records fits perfectly🙂

Takes me back to when I listened to him way back. Brilliant

If a proper black English motorcycle and an attractive redhead don't move you, there is something wrong in your head.

How can you not know this wonderful guitar player!? He’s one of the world’s greatest. He’s a whole other level brilliant rocking an electric guitar. You need to go see him live somewhere. You won’t regret it.

Half these views are mine - sublime!

This is is absolutely one of the best songs ever written.

Where was the concert recorded??

amazing love story

The only downside to seeing Thompson play solo acoustic is that after 3 or 4 songs like this you start thinking that this level of songwriting and performance is normal and expected. This is the reason why there’s a bit of dissonance in the comments as to whether he’s recognized or not. Seeing him is like seeing Hendrix, Howlin’ Wolf, the Beatles, or Elvis in his prime. A thing never seen before, and that will never be seen again after he’s gone.

I miss you so much John. God I am glad to have heard you and to have seen you. You were beyond special. RIP

This is really a modern version of ancient English folk songs with outlaw heroes. Thompson's work with Fairport Convention and perofrming those songs gives him a unique perspective.

Wainwright and Vega are both sitting there thinking, "God, I hope I don't have to play guitar after that. I think I'll do my next song a capella."

so beautiful ❤

wow

Everything!!!!
