Richard & Linda Thompson
"Live At Kew Bridge Folk Club, England" (1972?)
Manila said...
People seem to like the bootlegs, so I'll add one myself. I can't confirm that this was actually recorded at Kew Bridge (maybe someone else can?) but it's definitely the Thompsons playing a small club. Not terrific quality - someone in the audience wanted a souvenir! - but it's still a fascinating glimpse of a time in the early 70s when R&L were playing anywhere and everywhere to make ends meet. Plus it's great to hear live versions of tracks from RT's first solo album, 'Henry The Human Fly'. Sorry, no artwork for this.
With apologies to Luis for barging in on his territory. ;-)
And yet more grovelling apologies for my 'A Mighty Wind' gaffe. (It was late, I was tired, the damn coffee was decaff....what can I tell you?)

Thanks anonymous. I check Celtic Circle a lot - it's brillaint - but I hadn't seen that one. I'll take a look!
According to a book I've got called "Gypsy Love Songs and Sad Refrains" this gig is:
The Boathouse, Kew Bridge, London 24th October 1972
Newelectricmuse
I have a cover for this, which says: recorded at the Boathouse, Kew Bridge, London, on October 24, 1972. Can't remember where it came from. The tracklist is the same, only track 7 is called "Once brave Napoleon".

THANKS. great music - would love to hear even more bootleg RT and LT
Can't get tired of Richard & Linda. Great idea to post this. Thank you very much!S.ZENI.
Track 7 is on the RT box set, and is called "Napoleon's Dream". It's a traditional.
I also think the correct title for track 8 is "Maple Leaf Reel".
Hi Lizardson, could you post again this concert ? many thanks, Andrea
ps: your blog is amazing, I'm feeling like a boy in a pastry shop.
