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.

Both sets were great, and they were both very entertaining.
I wish they would play more songs together, and then a couple more together for the encore. With the list of songs they both know, 2 or 3 just was not enough from each guys set, and then only 2 at the end, again, was not quite enough.
Hey, I am greedy.

On a wet, blustery night in Chicago, Mr thompson once again showed us lucky attendees why he is one of the best guitar players alive. The man is incredible and a joy to see in concert no matter what the venue.

Great Show! Both musicians played a nice selection of songs from their vast collections. They played a few songs together, and had hilarious interactions with the audience that made the evening intimate and enjoyable. They even came out for a meet and greet after each show and were kind and responsive to all their fans.

I discovered RT about a year and a half ago while in UK & have become a huge fan. Seeing him live far exceeded my expectations. His voice was crystal clear and his guitar work is absolutely AMAZING..
The Vic in Chicago was a great setting - my first time there - drove up from Indianapolis & well worth the trip!

I hope he comes to Indy some day

Wainwright had a couple of fun songs, but his mannerisms are just too weird. His joking manner in promoting his own cd's got old quickly, and the show would have been better with simply Richard Thompson who was spectacular as always. However, after seeing RT three times now in Michigan, he's pretty much done the same basic set. RT's last show in Michigan at The Ark was amazing since it was just him for two hours, but his time was limited in sharing with Loudon, so RT's set was the basic 'Dad's Gonna Kill Me', ''52 Vincent,' Johnny's Far Away.' RT alone would have garnered a higher rating, but hopefully he returns solo next year and changes his basic set a bit. An all request show, which he's done in California, would be worth the $65 ticket I felt was overpriced for last night's show with Loud.

Tremendous show. We had seen Loudon at Traverse City in July and he covered some of the same ground, but he never fails to entertain. Richard Thompson was incredible. How one man can get so much out of a guitar, and sing like he does is scary. The billing promised so much and they delivered all of it. We are fortunate to have these 2 performers and to have them come to our area. They did not appear to take half of a solo performance, rather, they each seemed to play for an acceptable duration, and with the intermission, it was like 2 shows in terms of content.

The show was great!!! This was the first time I had seen Loudon and he put on a great show. Very entertaining and a humourous perspective on many of the current issues we are dealing with everyday. I have seen Richard Thompson 5 or 6 times and he always puts on a fantastic show. It was a very enjoyable evening.

Was a terrific show. Heard my favorites and found some new ones too. Loud played some great songs for this little recession we found ourselves in. All in all they were a great duo and made for one entertaining night of music.

Enjoyed most everything about Loud & Rich. Amps were up a bit more for Rich - so louder than "Loud." Both are obviously talented, but RT is an amazing guitar player - certainly "rich" in that regard. Evening was full of humor, politics, sentiment - some wonderful song writing and performing. Very engaging - never a dull moment. It was clear many of the attendees were familiar with their work.
