Richard Thompson, the pioneer of British folk rock was voted one of the best guitarists of all time by US magazine The Rolling Stone: “His acoustic picking is just as killer” they wrote. These two 180gr vinyl contain “Richard Thompson And Band” live in French luxury resort Cannes on Occasion of Midem 1984, recorded by WDR for “Rockpalast”. As Bonus you can witness the fresh performance of tracks like “Great Balls Of Fire”, recorded some month before at Markthalle Hamburg, Germany (LP 2/Side D). In both concerts it is to be heard how well the musicians know each other (FAIRPORT CONVENTION) and how they have been harmonizing for years. They are building an integrated whole with Richard Thompson. They carry the music of their “boss” and give him the lightness and the leeway to fully unfold his potential. A true must have for every vinyl collector and friend of Richard Thompson and Fairport Convention. This premium Double Vinyl (each 180g) comes in a gatefold sleeve with extended liner notes, lined inner sleeves and is a strictly limited edition (1000 copies).
