They didn't do Sweet Little Girl

Larrys on fire

A Labatt's Blue stubbie

Great concert of Canadian Blues!

Track listing anyone?

Was there! Thanks for this.

Bruce you get a thumbs up for posting this - especially not being a big fan. I saw The band in Calgary as the opening act for Burton Cummings. I was about 20 and didn't really enjoy them. Maybe there is something in the lyrics "too young for the blues". At this moment in time (mid 50's), the First Decade Greatest Hits CD is one of my most played

Cosmos ......

Spare and uncluttered. Very enjoyable I thought.

Der Krieger ist wunderbar

This concert must be from the same solo acoustic tour that produced the live album Small Town Romance. A brilliant performance.

42:17 Black Napkins

Thanks for posting. Al performed at my wedding as well in August of 1989. He was truly a good guy.

I was there! One of the greatest shows of my life! Had never seen him live before and was spellbound.

Amazing...And you can definitely hear the jazzy, blues, rock and Zappa influence....Robby Krieger is awesome!!

I've never seen or heard Robby Krieger playing outside The Doors ever before and now am totally fascitated about his performance!

Found their record in my uncle's CD collection when I was a kid and I remember dancing all night. Got to see them perform at the Blues Can in Calgary many years later. Great band and have always wanted to play guitar like Tom

I would imagine Robby is a HugecRush fan

So familier like Hall and Oats.Yes Tom Lavin is great singer and a guitar layer in this band.I though this band Powder Blues Band.like 50`s Rock & Roll sound too

My dear soul brother, on top of the world, Luv ya Will!!! Powder Blues, Magnificent! Few better. Tom Lavin, up there with the greats, no doubt. Dave Woodward, et al, something else. Just so powerful, thanks won't be enough but it's the best I can do.

Robby as I suppose as many other musicians don't get recognition to me is phenominal

Here in Ottawa, not much has changed, except for Bluesfest.

DAMN GREAT BAND

What Larry is doing here on guitar is more than genius, it is a miracle

Wow! Shame how it had to end, though. :(

At 5:00, the stunning instrumental "the Choice Wife"; it's like "diamonds glinting in the sunlight" (to steal a phrase from a music critic writing about Django Reinhardt). Followed by "Just the Motion". I'd never heard "You're Gonna Change or I'm Gonna Leave" before; is that one of Richard's, or a cover? Continuing: Dont Let A Thief Steal Into Your Heart; Helpless and Slow; Rockin' In Rhythm; A Woman Or A Man?; Unlucky In Love; Don't Renege On Our Love; Backstreet Slide; Pavanne; Wall of Death; Walking On A Wire; Nobody's Wedding; an unfamiliar Cajun tune sung in French; Down Where the Drunkards Roll. With the band: Shoot Out the Lights; unknown; Night Comes In; Great Balls of Fire.

I used go out a lot to live music, and sometimes I had to walk home to Blackburn Hamlet if I missed my last bus from St Laurent Shopping centre because I stayed a tad too late from watching live music at Barrymores, I even did it once in the winter.... not smart LOL

re "I was never a fan of the band " ... as a life long fan of The Powder Blues Band (still alive an very well), I have to ask why ?

White guy blues from Gleview! Whoed a thought, Love ya T, thanks for all your help. ✌️

Thanks for these rare moments from this great Artist, Bruce !!!

please set list this concert?? the songs please??

Mr. Mcewen I would like to know which country you're from, don't panic it's just that my surname is Ewen which is an unusual spelling, and by the way I'm a big Richard thompson fan.

Just a quick reply to "cirkuspromoter": there was no rehearsal, no sound check with RT. We just hit the stage and completely winged it with, as Mr. Fish so accurately described, me yelling out chord changes to the bassist. I'd love to say it was my preoccupation with making sure the band knew the changes that made me solo with such, um, weakness....but I take full responsibility for it, as explained in my other post! A great memory, though I am pretty happy that I'm largely in the background' and with a beard that obscures me even further :D

I still consider this as the yin and yang, the double-edged sword ("The Knife's Edge"?) of my professional years playing in bands. Two thoughts: Richard playing a totally unknown guitar, strung (as he said) "like telephone cables" and through an unfamiliar amp and no pedals....and yet, when he played his first chord, his first note, it sounded absolutely like RT. Proof that it's not in the gear; it's in the hands, the heart, the soul. Second: I was, at the time, wood-shedding RT a LOT. So, when he nodded at me to take a solo in "Night Comes In," I was MORTIFIED. Do I do a solo that demonstrates my 'shedding one of my heroes? That would be wrong. So, instead, totally flummoxed, I delivered one of the worst solos ever committed (now!) to a permanent document by me. Place a huge <GROAN> under this category. Still, it was a real thrill to share a stage with RT - and, of course, Bruce Wittet (who instigated this and is one of the only people - certainly the only one in Ottawa at the very least - who could pull this off with the right feel, the right, well, everything), the late, great Brian Rading (who knew none of RT's tunes and, yes, I was calling out chords but barring a couple of train wrecks, he acquitted himself with his usual simple, anchoring panache), and, of course, my friend Ian Tamblyn, in whose band I played for a good few years back. I only wish that I'd acquitted MYSELF better!

John Fysh: thanks for identifying Dave Binder. I thought I saw him lurking in the back with his Telecaster. I am so indebted to Tim Cutts and to one Bruce McEwen for posting this. I've played with some famous people but Richard Thompson is closest to my heart; he's got that north-country vibe that harkens to my 2nd generation Scottish background. I ensured that Ian Tamblyn's band (for which I drummed) got the opening slot at Barrymore's hall; and then approached RT (I knew him, barely, through my friend Dave Mattacks). I've looked for this for, well, what's 2019 - 1982? Thirty-seven years. I'd no idea anybody was videoing it. My guess is Simon Tissano (sp), Richard's road manager/engineer to this date or damn close. If it's Bruce McEwen then thanks; this was before everybody was a videographer armed with a cellular phone.

Brings back memories of attending this concert. Who's a thought someone taped it on video? Rockin in Rhythm is great - Strict Tempo was quirky LP! Night Comes in a great unrehearsed bit.... thanks for sharing I do remember the usual waiting around for the concert to start... but that was routine with bigger names coming to town.

fantastic. thanks for sharing this!!!!

Checking in from 2018

Outstanding! world class, it's these guys that keep it real, hopefully they know they are the keepers of the flame and thus "stars" to all that know rock and roll! Thank you Tom!

saw him play on this tour in September 1982 in Providence

Damn, man! Thanks for posting this. I was at this gig. Nash the Slash was the opener. It was my Birthday treat from one of my buds. Great night.

A rawking night.
