    Recapturing the Essence

    by David on 2/28/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    Richard’s performance was spot on in terms of his approach to these songs vocally and as one of the finest solo acoustic guitar acts there is. In every case he recaptured the essence of these songs beautifully. There’s nothing better than three encores (except maybe four). When he played Beeswing he conjured her as if she was in foreground of his consciousness as he sang. The feeling was palpable to me as if the sadness and regret were floating around the stage before him.

    Richard Thompson was amazing as always.

    by Bill on 2/28/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    Ticketmaster drops the ball again. You said it was the Electric trio when it was solo acoustic. You really don't care about patrons just money. If we didn't have to use you ...you would be out of business. THE WORST

    Intimate Setting - Great Show!

    by Rachael on 2/27/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    We had a wonderful night at The Birchmere. The sound and light quality were fantastic and we could see very clearly. This venue attracts folks that are actually interested in the show.

    Living Legend Delivers

    by Pappy on 2/27/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    If you ever get a chance to see Richard Thompson perform live, you must go! At the Birchmere for acoustic shows (solo) on back-to-back nights he was superb! Virtuoso on the guitar with a large catalog of great songs. Thumbs way up

    A real talent.

    by Tom on 2/27/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    Great songs of course. In strong voice and a real guitar slinger, even on acoustic. Couple of slip-ups with the lyrics … doing this night after night, losing a touch of focus, it’s understandable. Added to the personal nature of the evening, in a smallish venue.

    So Glad to Be Live Again

    by Ivana on 12/7/21New Jersey Performing Arts Center - Newark

    Venue was easy to find and close to several hotels. I drove up from the DC area to my hero Richard Thompson. He was in fine form and the audience (more empty seats than I have seen at a RT concert in a long time) was knowledgeable and attentive. All the staff was professional and courteous and the Covid-19 protocols were not a burden. One of the ushers, Cynthia, was particularly lovely (I always arrive early) and I enjoyed chatting with her before the show. My sight lines from my seat D2 were excellent and I was pleased to see RT without any encumbrances. I did notice a rather large gentlemen several rows in front of me struggle to sit comfortably in his seat. I wondered about handicapped seating and whether or not it was available for someone such as him. The seats are not very comfortable. Restroom was clean and bright.

    Why did I wait so long?

    by K. M. on 6/30/21Whitaker Center - Harrisburg

    I was raised on Richard Thompson (at least Fairport Convention) and love his work. But because he is one of those touring workhorses who seemed to always be coming through town, I kept putting off seeing him. Then COVID hits and I'm like, dammit, that guy is old and I'll hate myself if he goes the way of Toots Hibbert (who I also neglected to see and was on top of my "next to see" list, alas). Thankfully, Richard did not and I grabbed the first tickets I could get as he started up his never ending tour again. Finally to the point: Amazing show. He and the audience at the Whittaker Center were clearly done with being pent up. His playing was just insane, he was funny and engaging, took the call outs for songs by drunken ex-hippies with grace, played the hits, played new stuff, hell, played for over two hours. Really, really great performance. For a guy who kind of has the reputation for music you listen to while crying into your whisky, slowing drowning in your bathtub, his delivery couldn't have been farther from it. And, good god, how he could take something like 52 Vincent Black Lightning, already perfect and perfectly instrumentally dense and cram even more into it without it seeming like he was trying, I just can't even begin to assess. This guy. You need to see this guy.
