NOTES:
This is a brilliant performance and an excellent sounding recording. A real gem.
I have seen Richard Thompson perform many times, but this show is at the top of
my list. The sound in the hall was perfect, the setlist was good, there was lots
of energy in the renditions and Richard was in good humor with the song
introdctions.

This is a great recording with only 2 minor flaws. The show started abruptly
(an opening act was expected), so the first few seconds of the "Sumer is Icumen
In" is missing and it takes 20 seconds or so for the audio to get to a state of
goodness. Also, for some reason the tape paused for a few seconds at the start
of the first encore and so a small part of the introduction to the 1190 French
song is missing. These issues and not very noticable and overall this is a great
listen.
