Richard Thompson in concert

Having seen Richard in several formats (solo, duo, band, etc.), I welcomed this alternative. In fact, none of his compositions was in the set list. Instead an eclectic mix of genres from 1190 onward were featured. Highlights included "Night and Day" by Cole Porter and a Kinks tune whose title escapes me. It weren't "Lola" or anything familiar. Apparently this tour has been around a while and is on DVD.
