Richard Thompson You Can't win x264

Grande band e una memorabile performance chitarristica di Thompson

[@stormbringercoming8105]

For selfish reasons I’m glad Richard’s popularity isn’t where it deserves to be. I love seeing him perform in clubs and small theaters.

[@unjay1967]

OMG How is this not in every list of greatest guitar solos ever? No whammy bar! What?!

[@johnhodgetts2111]

One of the best songwriters and performers around, on both acoustic and electric guitar. Also, amazing support band. The drummer is fantastic. Saw him a couple of years ago playing with Glen Hansard. He was great then too.

Ever hear a guitar solo that catches your soul, and heart, and cutts deep within bringing tears with the experience? (in a good way) This is one of those! ❤ It has that raw energy-in a way-that I have heard in Neil Young’s playing that is so good at revealing the emotion behind it.

R.I.P. Pete Zorn. Rhythm guitar and all wind instruments. Brilliant.

[@jameslord8371]

Just an incredible performance. Jaw. Dropped.

[@davidchelazzi1544]

his solos are just genius, personality, technique, tone, breaking the rules but still tight...

[@susanshawn4905]

Hard to breathe, listening to this! Joel is burning up!

[@anti-uefa]

He's a magician, pure genius. How comes he's never mentioned in the same breath as Gilmour, Hendrix and other greats?!?

[@coreybakerteachingstudio8858]

He is in my house

[@robertogalvez2423]

He's mentioned in Rolling Stones as one of the best. However he's always a cult artist.

[@VoluntaristJAM]

Every one of them consummate musicians - all there to support the crown jewel of Thompson's solos.

[@robinoray]

Brought me to tears the first time I heard this song.

[@christopherruddick3524]

Absolutely brilliant. I saw Richard, for about the 20th time, at Snape last Sunday. Acoustic show, but still electrifying. A wizard, a true star. Thanks for uploading.

[@dandiego7298]

That’s some extraordinary guitar picking. Not a cookie cutter solo. And exactly what people expect from RT. Good stuff!

[@61hink]

Poor Richard never gets the attention he deserves. Glad I got to see him live before the pandemic started. Thank you for uploading this awesome performance of one of his best songs.

[@XOY321]

thank fuck this exists

[@thebrysmith3]

😱😱😱😱🎸💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheDavidtk240]

Only 2 comments? Pearls before Swine. Awesome.

[@stevejackson3112]

It doesn't get much better than this.

[@unjay1967]

No, it doesn’t get ANY better than this!

[@user-vz7xf5vf6j]

Music has to hurt.

[@russhouldin5774]

RT's guitar playing is equalled by a few but unsurpassed. No-one. except maybe Jeff Beck in a different way, explores musical possibilities like RT. But, hey, what a great song! RT always tries to match the guitar to the song. Simple guitar for a simple song, like, say Old Thames Side, while this solo tries to express the angst of the protagonist in the song. People who are told they can't win.

[@russhouldin5774]

PS Saw him in Toronto do this. A very different solo but just as incredible.

[@ChosenHandle117]

!!

[@jeffwhitehead7990]

solo like a face-ripper monkey and Michael Jerome is not only in the pocket but, in that little pocket behind the regular pocket.

[@richardjames7905]

Always thought that he might have been singing about Margaret Thatcher.

[@ericfullilove4111]

I never saw people. Indeed. (Yes I know)

[@mikelasater2016]

The nerve of some people

[@jonmeltzer1361]

Where and when was this show?

[@ericfullilove4111]

Wes

[@stjohnwhite7768]

Sounds out of tune to me!

[@user-vz7xf5vf6j]

Perfectly out of tune and out of this world.
