The concert was a nice combination of Wairight's humor and Thompson's virtuosity.

Richard Thompson solo - the best way to see him! Went very early to get a seat (didn't realize it was a totally seated event) and copped a fantastic view.
Really liked the way Richard and Loudon did a couple of numbers together.

Two great contrasts. The showmanship and clever words of Loudon and the incredible guitar work and biting lyrics of Richard. Loudon loves the crowd and dipped into a wide range of songs, although focusing heavily on recent ones related to the "New Depression." Richard's guitar work is still unbelievable. You close your eyes and you absolutely believe there's two guitarists--or more. You open and watch the master produce the sounds alone. More chatter this show from Richard than in the past. Unfortunately, the two only played together for four songs--two at the end of the first set (by Loudon) and two as the encore after Richard. Would have liked to have seen more interplay. But a great evening by two masters.
