Recorded Live At Rock City, Nottingham, November - 1986

Named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the Top 20 Guitarists of All Time, Richard Thompson is also one of the world's most critically acclaimed and prolific songwriters. He has received Lifetime Achievement Awards for Songwriting on both sides of the Atlantic - from the Americana Music Association in Nashville to Britain's BBC Awards and the prestigious Ivor Novello.

In 2011, Thompson was the recipient of the OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. Most recently, the Americana Music Honors & Awards nominated him for "Artist of the Year".

Press Quotes

If you've spent any time browsing through CDs in a market stall, you've seen them: shoddily packaged discs from a label you've never heard of, documenting live shows that were originally recorded for radio broadcast. They usually cost a few bucks, and sometimes they're worth it. This one is very different. For one thing, the sound quality is excellent. For another, 1986 was the year that, in my opinion, Richard Thompson's band was at its best-he had John Kirkpatrick, Christine Collister, and Clive Gregson, among others, and although you don't have Dave Mattacks on drums the band still sounds fantastic. And he was touring songs from both Across a Crowded Room and Daring Adventures, which I still think were two of his best-ever solo albums. The patter is wry, the solos are incendiary, and the whole energy of this gig is just tremendous. Highly recommended to all pop collections.
