Likewise, Bernadette and I had a great time at the Richard Thompson show. An Austin girl, Eliza Gilkyson opened for him. This was a very nice surprize. I didn't know there would be an opening act. I liked her very much. I know she has been on the scene for many years but this is the first time I have seen her. Richard apppeared with only his long time friend and associate Daniel Thompson (no relation) who plays upright bass. It was an accoustic evening of the highest order. If I'm not mistaken he only did four songs from his new release. He dug very deep into his catalogue going all the way back to Fairport Convention, his work with his then wife Linda, and his earliest solo career. This is pretty much his M/O for shows. But his catalogue is so deep and so outstanding that he always manages to pull out a few surprizes and never fails to impress. The synchonicity between he and Daniel is simply amazing to experience.
What a great night!
