[@peskycritter6580]

[@Zitrone1212]

Pure Beauty Pure Bliss This makes me happy and smile and sing Thank you so much! LOVE

[@cinnamonbrandylite]

I'm impressed - so many comments, and not one that says 'one bloke, two girls - how come he's still playing that guitar?'... well. until now. ;-))))

[@manthasagittarius1]

My day is made for the rest of the year.

[@ScarletSweetPea]

You and me both, sister. This is a great series--and a wonderful evocation of RT's personality, which doesn't always show through in "professional" video recordings.

[@Tessietots]

Fantastic!!! I just LOVE this man!

[@gcdev]

Watch this without a smile on your face. Pure joy

[@7527crater]

Then all I can say is lucky Mr Shearer. And lucky us for being able to listen to such a hair-raisingly brilliant piece of music!

[@moonbeamchaos]

Couldn't find this ANYWHERE in any search on KZbin---thank goodness for Google, or I would NEVER have found it!

[@andrewcutts7416]

I've just been sent a link to watch this. Although I saw the tour, I didn't know about the Black Cab Sessions. Fantastic.

[@Ze18613]

This is really good, as you'd expect of something linked with Richard Thompson. Actually I think I have a crush on the woman next to RT. There's something about a pretty blond with a beautiful voice which makes my heart melt.

[@JoHigh]

This is great...love it thanks

[@lokisez]

Judith Owen - a Welsh witch if ever there was one - is an artist in her own right,. And Debra Dobkin plays percussion w/ RT in his band, is also a singer and a visual artist.

[@MrKaliban66]

I've got a feeling that Richard has a stinking cold on this vid. Amazing how he sings so well. That's why he's wearing a scarf round his neck. He has a great voice and ALWAYS means what he sings.

[@jbohn1130]

Saw this short 2000 Years of Popular Music tour. Amazing. Thanks!

[@moonbeamchaos]

Jesus. Nobody can do it like RT----and with good harmony, it's heaven.

[@WaftyHippyLass]

Fan flamin' tastic. What a lucky cabbie! :)

[@Joost641]

What a haunting tune...

[@aasmundolsen]

amazing ... thank for sharing

[@treefrogdemon]

@MrBobodrum: it's a mediaeval hymn called Remember O Thou Man @Ze18613: not sure she'd thank you for the description, but the blond woman is RT's next-door neighbour Judith Owen. (She's married to Harry Shearer, trivia fans.)

[@editorjuno]

Thompson isn't the wild poetic genius that Dylan is, but he's a thousand times the musician. His work with Judith and Debra is as good in its own way as his solo and full band stuff, with the best three-part harmony he's done since his classic mid-'80s "Across A Crowded Room" tour with Clive and Christine.

The KING!

[@goodun2974]

Charming!

[@gageiiiiitttt]

god bless this man

[@editorjuno]

Old Christmas carol, "Remember O Thou Man" -- there are lyrics and a note about it on RT's website.

[@ChristopherJWalton]

Wonderful!

[@Phalces]

very cool.....

[@spaceword]

awesome

[@verityandstu]

What a good idea, packing brilliant musicians into a taxi for a gig!

[@Ze18613]

It'd still be worth it.

[@lordofblackness]

awsome! ; p

[@Pragjag]

You'll have to fight Derek Smalls (and Groundkeeper Willie etc.) for her - it's Harry Shearer's wife.

[@daf827]

This is a delight! Thanks, Joni36. Where did you come by these vids?

[@owlavatar]

nice :)

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

I think I could take him.

[@MrBobodrum]

Love the first one! Is it a traditional? Does anyone know? What's the title?

[@lokisez]

Remember O Thou Man by Thomas Ravenscroft (1611)

[@MrConan89]

He's so good ouch. I have a version of Vincent Black Lightning on KZbin. Look up Howard McKay. Richard is ten. I am five, but I think its no too bad.

[@danno321s]

Not sure of the concept...but a good tune.

[@AnnihilatingAngel]

@Ze18613 I'm with you. Very pretty, appealing lady.
