Richard Thompson is a guitar god with a great voice who entertains and charms audiences with his accessible banter and wisdom. His impressive trio seemed to be having as good a time as everybody else - including Richard. A memorably awesome performance!
I didn't care for the opening act. He didn't connect with the audience most of the time. His singing didn't have any emotion or vibrato. His act would probably go over better if he was with his band. I wish we had arrived at intermission. Richard Thompson singing and guitar playing were great!
Fantastic as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best concert I have ever been to and I have been to a lot!
The only way a power trio makes it is having three virtuosos. This band nailed it clean. Gave us three encores. It was like someone gave me a Vincent to rrrrrride.
Forget amazing , fabulous , fantastic, splendid, astonishing,master, creative genius, funny guy or any other adjectives. There are no words for this man.
Haven't really followed RT since Fairport Convention days (yes I am old!) but was very pleased with the show RT Trio put on. RT is an amazing guitarist and his trio-performed fantastic as well. Will definitely go see him again.
EXCELLENT. Ticketmaster wants a longer review, but this show can be summed up in one word, EXCELLENT!!
Energetic. Totally entertaining! Good set list mix of old and new. Drummer was incredible.
Thompson's performance (this nite as a trio) affirmed him again as one of the few performers I will ALWAYS make time to go hear & see when in the area! I just hope he is back soon!! - Dr tedster
If your only exposure to Richard Thompson is through his studio recordings, you are in for a treat. Live, Thompson stretches musical boundaries that he merely bumps up against on his studio albums. His solos do deliberately brutal things to both key and time signatures, and mostly this works; even when it doesn't, you can appreciate the attempt. The other two members of the Electric Trio (Michael Jerome on drums and bassist Taras Prodaniuk) fill out the sound perfectly. I saw The Who on their last tour and I wonder what that show would have been like if everyone in that band had been enjoining themselves as much as the Electric Trio seemed to. The only downside (if you want to call it that) to this show is that, nearly a week later, I'm finding it difficult to listen to commercial crud on local radio.
The Electrio Trio was amazing and Richard Thompson himself is a master showman as well as an incredible musician and songwriter!
