Thanks so much for putting this up from time to time. Richard Thompson is so very underrated in this country. Unbelievable performance. Can’t count the times I have listened to this. The reactions from Suzanne Vega (awe) and Loudon Wainright (seemingly bored) are priceless: “Oh, shit. I have to follow that…” Great, informed review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83T4DanYwOc
The Vincent Black Lightning of legend was actually a deadly bucket of bolts that should never have been ridden on anything but a straight, smooth road at under 80 KPH. The engine output far exceeded the capacity of the frame, brakes and general handling, not to mention the electrics. Best use today: museum piece and song inspiration.

Another favorite is his “Woodstock,” singing to and for Joni Mitchell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS5IwEkypf0
