For the first Saturday Sounds post of 2025, we have the Richard Thompson Band recorded live on their fall North American tour. This show is from Tarrytown, NY on October 16, 2024, just a week before they played in Toronto. I didn't go to that show because I had tickets to see the Drive-by Truckers on the same night. (Even if I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have gone because The Concert Hall has no floor seating).
Thompson offers up a mix of classics and songs from his new album, all ably supported by his regular touring band. I was surprised to see him offer up "The Bells of Rhymney", originally made popular by The Byrds, as one of his encores. (And I think it's the only time I've seem him play a 12-string in concert). Video and audio quality are quite good for a fan recording. Enjoy.
