Five Live Box, Volume Three
Five More Unreleased Thompson Gigs

Including artwork.

Another five live shows from Richard Thompson. All sound fantastic, and this one is the best of the lot. Included here is Richard’s entire 1992 performance at St. Anne’s Church. As fans know, the St. Anne’s show was RT’s joint appearance with Talking Heads’ David Byrne, and these files sound better than those half-Thompson/half-Byrne, abbreviated set downloads you often see. This is Thompson’s full solo set, along with the encore tunes performed together with Byrne. Volume Three also offers two RT Band shows, one from 1986, the next from 21 years later. In the Paradiso radio broadcast from 2007, the Thompson Band’s devastatingly direct anti-war indictment, “Dad’s Gonna Kill Me” (as in Baghdad’s gonna kill me), rockets along like an ominous Highway 61 Revisited outtake. The 1990 Veteran’s Memorial Hall solo gigs are fantastic, with both early and late shows (and completely different set lists).
