The audio and video aren't quite in sync on this but the sound quality is ok and the intro is quite amusing

"Little Sally Racket" Richard Thompson @ Joe's Pub,NYC 2-5-2013

I've just got back from the Liverpool Phil show and all I can say is 'Wow!' - that's up there with the best gigs I've seen.

We had a 'Beeswing'er too. Richard pointed out that he had the wrong guitar on (his electric), but offered to do a punk version, which he played about 10 seconds of. When he came on for the first encore, he played the whole thing (on an acoustic, I hasten to add), but we also got 'White room' and 'Little Sally Rackett', so everyone was happy.

Agreed. It could be named the Epic Guitar Workouts Tour. I thought the songs from the new album all sounded great and we got "Saving The Good Stuff For You" at the start of the 2nd encore. "Can't Win" was a highlight for me and Taras Prodaniuk's fretless bass playing was excellent, especially on "Al Bowlly". Michael Jerome was, as ever, a joy to watch and I'd certainly go back to the Phil - I had a clear view of the stage from my seat in row K of the stalls.

I enjoyed the support as well. Some fine guitar playing and his final song about growing up in the Bible Belt was a cracker. Worth getting there early to catch his set though I've forgotten his name.

Near the end of the gig RT told us that Siobhan Maher Kennedy (who sang harmony vocals on Electric) is a native of Liverpool though not many people in the audience seemed to have heard of her. He said he was doing his bit to ingratiate himself with the audience but by then that really wasn't necessary! Standing ovations at the end of the main set and both encores said it all.

I did wonder at the end whether they played The Beatles "Goodnight" over the PA just for the Liverpool crowd or does every show end with that?

No, we got Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered in Brighton. Not sure who was singing it. There's plenty in Brighton who like a good show tune mind.  Wink

I'm not into show tunes but this version by Ella Fitzgerald sounds great. I don't know if this was it ...  I wasn't really listening at the time  Embarrassed

Are my ears deceiving me or can I hear a wah wah pedal in White Room played at at Liverpool?

I must dig out my Cream stuff to compare!

Yes he used a wah wah in White room - seemed to have a bit of a problem at first and a roadie had to run on and switch it on and off again at the appropriate point.

A review of the Edinburgh gig, if anyone here was there.

"The warmest reception came for older songs. 'For Shame Of Doing Wrong', originally a moody and reflective mid-tempo country song, became something which pounded with the anguish of a man repeatedly banging his head against a brick wall."

Basingstoke tonight - a superlative performance. Surprises included Poor Ditching Boy, Did She Jump Or Was She Pushed ? and For Shame Of Doing Wrong ; RT's acoustic interlude included Persuasion and Turning Of The Tide, our power trio song was Hey Joe, and it was only the 2nd gig I remember seeing where he didn't play Vincent Black Lightning...The mighty RT, the dapper Taras Prodaniuk and the octopus-limbed Michael Jerome played one of the gigs of the year and it's only March !

I love the fact he's playing Salford on a Sunday.  Grin I really hope he planned his entire tour around that...
