Richard Thompson - Persuasion with Teddy Thompson - Town Hall NYC Live 10/18/2024

It was a great concert... & three generations of Thompsons onstage!

I was just contemplating this generational confluence! Quite amazing. Just watching the documentary A Winding Road: a Ramble with Richard Thompson right now.

Hold the camera horizontally.

Thanks for your comment! I understand that horizontal filming can be better for KZbin viewing, but at live concerts, it can sometimes be inconsiderate to others in the audience. Holding the phone horizontally often means raising it higher or extending my arms, which can block people's views. By keeping the phone directly vertically in front of my face under my eyes, I try to minimize disruption for those around me by keeping the screen brightness obscured and the camera profile hidden. Since the video is cropped to a square, viewers on KZbin should still be able to see as much of Richard Thompson as they would in a horizontal format. I hope this strikes a fair balance between letting others enjoy the concert in the moment and sharing it with the online community. Appreciate your support and fellow Richard Thompson fandom!

@@tygertrap I appreciate your consideration of others! I wanted to see Teddy in the video as well. Thanks for sharing.

@@Lemonancy I know! I wish that Teddy was visible as well. He's somewhere behind that head on the left singing his heart out. It was special that he was able to come and sing Persuasion with his father as they did on record.
