So far I saw 12 RT live shows - 11 in the UK and just one in my home country Austria (1985!!!). Austria needs RT too!!! |
|
|
| Louisiana |
I saw the show 2/28/07 at House of Blues in New Orleans. I've been a fan for over 30 years, but he continues to amaze. Simply put, RT is the planet's best guitarist/writer/singer. |

Richard, It was such a great pleasure and privilege to see and hear your recent performance in Kent. What a great lot of fun and good licks. My life partner treated me to your concert for my 45th birthday. Your music sustains me more than you can know. I can't wait for your next visit! |

Dear Richard, I met you Sunday night after your show in Kent, Ohio, and my heart hasn't stopped happily skipping since. You had every woman in the audience fumbling around in her purse for a pair of glasses after your proclamation of love for smart girls. Thanks for the opportunity to talk to you and shake your hand - it was very exciting for me, and the photo turned out great. I plan to upload it to my Myspace. |

Even my 14 year old son wants to i-pod you or is it mp3 you! along with Tenacious-D, and others. Oh how must it be, to be keep with cool company! Can we see and hear more of you in the U.K.? My lad & his mates want to see you as well. He's just about at the age when I first you at the Festival Hall with Fairports in '68 I think it was! HELLLLLPPP! |

My first exposure to Richard Thompson was "Rumor & Sigh". I played some guitar, but I bought the cassette basically just because I liked the picture (drawing) on the cover, never having heard a note from Richard before. What a lucky discovery that turned out to be! |

Thank you for everything you've done. You are a major influence in my music today. Tonight I will see you at the Crighton Theater. As a musician myself, I know you will break my aspiring heart with your masterful guitar technique (as you did at the International Festival in Houston. But the irony and poetic beauty of you lyrics will make it all worthwhile. I'll tip a pint to you tonight, no doubt. |

Thanks for all the great notes. I will see you next week at the Belly Up Tavern. In the 20+ years I have been a fan you have always surpassed what I had expected from a evening's performance and I must say that I do have very high standards. Stay in tune. |

Knowing Richard's love of post war ephemera, I have a trading card from Kings Laundry, Walthamstow from the 1950's of a Vincent Black Lightening (no. 7 of a series of 25 cards. Bizarre for a laundry to do). I'd be happy to let him have it if he wanted. |

We had the best time last night at the Union Ballroom. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. |

After ten years of wanting and hoping, I *FINALLY* got to see you at the Lakewood in Dallas last night! I was stoked all day and the show exceeded my expectations! I cannot wait to see your show again, and thanks to tonight's show I think my new sweetheart may be a convert to your music too. :D |
|
|

Wish to forward in e mail form a review I wrote of his march 4 Dallas show for your archives as well as Richard and his sound man Simon who both were very hospitable to me. I need to also request his permission to include a filmed comment he gave me after the show regarding a Nick Drake 8 track tape for inclusion in a documentary I'm making about the 8 track, Spinal Tape. I will not use the segment without his permission, as it was spontaneous, off the cuff, filmed at the merch booth. I will respect his wishes. |

I am coming to see you next week at The Belly Up in Solana Beach. I used to be someone's special "redhaired girl", but he left me (thankfully not in the tragic way James left Red Molly), and I didn't even get a fancy motorcycle out of the deal ;-} I'm hoping to hear you play "Vicent Black Lightning 1952" which my love actually sang to me. At this point we both need to "Keep (Y)our Distance", lest we fall. I adore your music, your lyrics, your voice, your charming face.... |

I was introduced to Richard Thompson's music when I was 17 in my first band. He quickly became one of my favourite guitar players, but it wasn't until my marriage broke up & I hit 30, that I understood his songwriting. Genius! |

I am interested in how people look vs sound. I was surprised when I saw a picture of Richard. Not at all disappointed though. I have heard interviews with Richard and he is one of my all time favorites as a Great Human Being and absolutely awesome musician. The world is a better place because of him. (I do not get all of the message from "My Dad is going to kill me" it is truly "Art") |

Saw you, Richard, in Santa Fe last night. My life can be over now... THAT was a highlight. You can make that guitar sound like percussion, like a harpsichord (continuo and melody), and like 3 people playing at once. Your songs run the gamut from light (Brains over Hearts) to classical to folk to the depths of emotional turmoil. Thanks for making my year. Please come out here again... it'll keep me going another year. |

Just christened my iPOD with Grizzly Man soundtrack, a bulletproof reason for laying out the bucks. The movie was okay, but the soundtrack making doc sold me. How much of that was improvised on the spot and how much was penned before going into the studio? Fascinated by the creative process. |

I don't see those Scottish dates announced. Bad enough The Who have ignored us this year, but not Thommo too? And him a Celtic fan! Just a suggestion, but recently attended a show in Hamilton Town Hall (not my home town) which has an amazing acoustic, well used by a Chamber sized version of the RSNO. Or there's always the Barrowland in Glasgow for a change. Tell him to get up here sharpish. |

Show at The CoachHouse in Dana Point was excellent. Thanks!! |

We had a wonderful time at the Coach House concert last night. I took my daughter, son and 16 yr old guitar playing grandson who was blown away and so inspired. The good feeling persists today. Thank you, Richard! |

Reading your lyrics posted in HTR was probably the most reprehensible dribble I have ever read. I am a mom of a soldier serving proudly in Iraq and you are not helping them. If you don't like the things your country does, may i suggest picking a different one! |

I can't wait to hear more. Thank you for speaking up against the war. Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot. |

Richard, you mentioned in an interview that no great antiwar songs have been written lately. I have a huge respect for you, but I beg to differ on this point. I think Springsteen's "Devils & Dust" is one. Powerfully simple, it could be taken as the point of view of either side in the Iraq war. PS: Great job on "Dad's Gonna Kill Me"! |
|
|

Heard your anti-war song, so I wanted to provide to a link for ours: "Blues Fo' Dubya & Baghdad" http://myspace.com/daddyhemingway. Enjoy, if that's the right thing to say in this case |

You are one big slimeball. Making money off the war with your degrading so called song. How do you sleep at night? Have fun in the free world...NO thanks to jerks like you. My guess is this comment won't make it to the site. Free speech...yeah right. Not from the left. |

I was brought up in the sixties, and well remembered The VietNam War amd lost many friends. It left an impact throughout my life. I always pray for peace. The Iraqi war views are many. There are too many extremists there. Personaly I do not not see any resolutions. Bring our troops home.

You anti war liberals are all the same! Anti-war, anti-military, anti-American and anti God/religion BUT Pro-ACLU, Pro gultless, hypocitical United Nations, Pro-abortion/death, Pro Hollywood millionaires/creeps, Pro alternative lifestyles, etc. Why don't you write a song from an aborted child's view? Here's a title for ya: Please don't kill me, Mama! |
