Richard Thompson and Loudon Wainwright III- Down Where the Drunkards Roll (Songwriter's Circle)

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Whoever put this lineup together should be commended. Incredible show.

[@flowerfarmerscott]

Sweet Jesus, Richard Thompson is a genius! If you've never seen him live you owe it to yourself. Every time he's in town I take a different musician friend and every one is dumbstruck for hours afterward.

[@waynewanderer]

one of the only musicians to actually make me cry with emotion when i saw him play!

[@scrimshank1]

It doesn't get any better. Three of my favourite musicians/singers on stage at the same time. I agree..... Suzanne Vega should get credit too.

[@funfinder27]

Another great song t from the man who's work will still be played in 100 years!

[@g.pmoore4293]

Probably the most compassionate song I've ever heard . Beautiful.

[@scrimshank1]

Like the harmony of Suzanne Vega. Agree she should be mentioned too.

[@Bartbrn]

I've seen Richard Thompson live 6 or 7 times -- acoustic, electric, solo, duets, full band -- but the absolute best performance (and that's saying something) I've ever seen was with Clive Gregson and Christine Collister in Northampton, MA in 1987. Every song had Thompson performing break and finishing guitar solos that went on for 10 to 20 minutes, and they could have gone on forever, and I'd still be there listening. Yes, Clapton is/was good, Hendrix, Zappa, Danny Gatton, Buddy Miller all favorites, but in my opinion, there has never been a greater guitar player -- especially electric -- than Richard Thompson. The best.

[@kfwkfw1]

I've been seeing him since '85 and that was my favorite band.

[@zhanay]

I saw that same band, thought it was the best music I'd ever heard-and I'd been going to concerts forever ( the first one-Rolling Stones in 1964)! I've seen RT more than 60 times now-almost continuously since then. Saw Christine with him a couple of years ago in L.A., she sounded great, and they sounded great together. No one better really than RT with songwriting and guitar playing.

[@chanceinn]

I have also had the pleasure of seeing RT in all forms countless times although strangely never with Gregson and Collister both of whom I have seen outwith RT and enjoy thoroughly. I have also see Wainright who I really enjoy and Vega who I didnt really enjoy. Have seen RT with Danny Thompson and Peter Zorn and that was special but I really like the tightness of the current electric trio.

[@GraemeTully]

On many of Mr T's solos you can hear Django loud and clear!

[@ZoggoLive]

I wish I could have experienced this. I saw him this year. I’d quit my life and follow him around if that was an option.

[@twray1835]

Just brilliant Richard Thompson in live form. Catch him near your town if you can. You will never forget it.

[@daf827]

Perfection. Whoever was in that audience was most fortunate indeed.

[@geebud1880]

ONE more time it proofs true - good people find each other. Excellent too... Thanks Loudon for bringing me Richard T... Thanks!

[@skpfst]

Loudan has GREAT guitar and is so humble....This was such a great show....I mean fantastic. Thompson is great as always. I wish I was there.

[@g.pmoore4293]

What a song !

[@56onion]

I have just seen Richard Thompson in a Oxford Concert, great show!!!

[@ericjeffrey1580]

Just great. I must have at least 20 versions of this song, and this may well be the best -- certainly top 5.

[@Mehefinheulog1]

just amazing (filmed at Bush Hall in London, first broadcast on BBC 4, 1 October 2010)

[@billydotleeds]

Thank you for this! THREE of my favourite artistes in one song. I never knew this existed. MAGYK BE!

[@geebud1880]

did i see such superb guitaring ever before... so tickling and ... (and these two backing vocals ..mmm)

[@mrsterripurcell]

A song we don't hear often enough thank's

[@deborahkauffman09]

best of the best

[@Samandrosajonesar]

loved it .

[@Natashahoneypot]

Why is the wonderful Suzanne Vega not mentioned in the title?????????!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nemea23]

Yeah, and that's Suzanne Vega with them! She deserves a mention, don't you think?

[@martinevensen406]

Bravo

[@keefyflix]

Just posted this on the RT fan page of "fb". 12hrs later overnight, 60 likes and 28 shares! :) Better than the original IMHO

[@AutumnMoth]

Yike, dude, credit Suzanne Vega for sure in the title.

[@Patricia-ck7ks]

Why no mention of the fact that Suzanne Vega is an equal participant with the other two?

[@leakelittle]

who is they?

[@davidnogoodboyo]

A huge oversight!

[@gudlisner501]

Richard Thompson wrote this song and is therefore the main participant. I agree that Loudon and Suzanne should have equal billing.

[@canucklehead11]

I didn't think I'd like it with a male voice singing but it's excellent.

[@christophertaylor-nc3bm]

two camp fire guitar players and Richard

[@alistairewen7005]

aye & then some

[@alandschmidt]

This is Fucking Awesome!

[@anthonypicco7811]

Thompson, Wainwright and who was she?

[@owenross1289]

Anthony Picco Suzanne Vega.

[@OneBigRetard]

@jeandepaul Thanks.

[@woodbell67]

and Suzanne Vega on high harmony

[@ThefightingCelt]

Brilliant song. Love Richard Thompson. This is a good ( not great ) rendition. For me, Linda's album version is best.

[@alanhowell3646]

I agree, Richard Thompson needs Linda’s voice harmonising on everything IMO

[@OneBigRetard]

What is on his guitar?

[@lesberkley3821]

Tuner

[@TheMonolake]

Like Church

[@dreamwell2020]

Yeah - but she should have put her guitar vertical at the outset.

[@bammbamm12]

Somewhere, deep in the soul of every white boy, the desire to be a hobo can be found - well maybe just until it gets to become troublesome.

[@gerrycollins2335]

Richard Thompson writes and arranges some great songs, and is an excellent guitarist, but someting about his voice puts me off listening for very long to him singing. Loudon on the other hand....
