shit, i turned the page...
damn, i didn't go through this effort for nothin' - at least maybe don or skv will see it - i wasn't here cos i was nostalgic for seeing dolly's name, THAT's for sure.

a WEALTH of music last night and today (i'm C&ping what i wrote elsewhere):
beeswing, have you maybe seen the couple of thompson things which were recorded from this year's caribbean music cruise?
I've got good friends who went or i'd never known such a thing existed...they're naturally BIG richard thompson fans of course.
i chanced upon them when i stumbled onto sugarmegs 'latest additions' url (fr that RnR fetish-site, i think)and yeah, they're 40kbps wma files, quite lossy, but well recorded aud's of very well-mixed shows>
of course this means they were also seeded most likely at dime in a good format.
mmm, makes me wonder if any 'dimers' here are RT fans....:
with thompson playing a VERY nice ELECtric show.
goes expectedly psychedelic a few times as well...'hard on me' is wow!
...and then :
good god THIS show is wonderful - we've had the acoustic vs electric RT discussion before, but this one recharges my enthusiasm for hearing 'the great one' alone with his guitar - but this here is a unique situation.
imagine, THIS was a cruise with a large group of musicians, RT being one among them, everyone's just walking to the pool to restaurants, and you're all just interacting and relaxing with various people you've seen and admired while performing...and now for a 10-12 day stretch, you're also 'just folks' enjoying holiday together.
and then they PLAY for you!
check the star-strucked-ness at the dock and this has GOT to be a wonderful experience, that is if you're the type of person who can find common ground to talk to someone like RT.
either way, this setting accomplishes in producing the MOST wonderful solo RT show i think i have ever heard.
it's like he's just playing for a bunch of friends...which IS what he normally tries for, but here it is SO genuine.
at least listen to that in this 40kbps wma even.
truth be told, i just DL the rundgren/ian hunter show taht edge put up in flac, nearly 1G-worth, and i swear that the quality of these 2 sugarmegs shows is easily at least as good as that. and they're each a 20M dl...
search 'richard+thompson+trio'

and the acoustic show came up here among a slew of other interesting 'new arrivals":

and right now i've got the BEST rock and roll band ever, playing a 'new' version of a recording so many people (me incl!) say is one the best live rawk recordings in history - going back to late 1973....
NOW playing, the suBLIME:

i'd always though other shows with the hunter-wagner juggerfucking NAUT from this tour were scarce - i've now found a french site where the guy's got SIXTEEN shows from 1973 - though the hunter-wagner band only came together later that year.
at one time i only had 'phantom RnR animal' from copenhagen which was cool but sound was so-so. hearing them develop the arrangements that are now so familiar from having heard the original RnR animal album 1000s of times, ooooh, how i love that!
....NOW, i've got an october set from the rainbow theater in london and a '5+' star rated one from newcastle i still haven't listened to yet...whew!
