I've been a fan since Fairport days and bought this as soon as I saw it available. I wasn't disappointed. He is a real professional. His guitar playing is flawless and he has a breadth of music few contemporary musicians can hold a candle to. Since it seems I can't seem to make it to one of his live shows this is as good as it gets. Recommendable. If you're a fairly new fan this is a good place to start.

RT is awesome. It is amazing that I have been ignorant of his music for so long, even though I have been a Fairport fan since the early 70's. I guess I was focused on the great talent of the late Sandy Denny. It is even more amazing that his talent has not been widely recognized by our culture. I suppose the more humble amongst us tend not to get the recognition that is deserved. What more can be said? This DVD showcases a very talented individual!

Live In Providence was recorded at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island, a dance barn with a raised stage and no seating. (Thompson quips that "it's a shame to see you old people standing up".) That's the ambience - more club date than concert. The look is good, with the stage mostly bathed in blue light.
The Band: Pennsylvania-born Pete Zorn (guitar, mandolin, sax) has lived in London since the 70s, and his association with Richard Thompson goes back at least 20 years (and ... Read More

Richard Thompson prior to his performance of "Outside on the Inside" here humorously mentions one critic who stated("you know how they are")that this song made "Sting sound humble and unprentious...I like that...I can work with that". He then performs a stunning version of the song supported by Pete Zorn on double bass, Michael Jerome on drums and Tom Dube. His stage demeanor and performances are all that--funny as heck and then he pulls off an amazing, powerful performance.
