Linda told someone that what harrowed her during that tour wasn't misery over Richard cheating on her. She said the worst thing was two people who had loved each other having no love to share.
I lucked out and got an album called Richard Thompson live"more or less which was a double album version of "i want to see the bright lights tonight. This song and every other song on that album is stunning.A very special album,i cannot believe the depth of it and the quality of the writing,for me ,it is a perfect album.
He left her for someone else on the eve of this tour. She used vodka and orange and antidepressants 'liberally', so says my 1001 Songs You Must Hear...
Their marriage was in shambles at the time of this tour, yet their performances were incandescently brilliant. The stress of the breakup only added to the drama.
I suspect this was there only american appearance most likely due to lack of exposure or lousy managment.pertaining to there label.?..They were Great in my book!!

Linda Thompson’s vocals on this is amazing. And Richard Thompson’s guitar is absolutely amazing. The drumming on this is really good aswell
Linda has stated that, for all the stress and acrimony of that tour, it remains her favorite, since she maintains that she had never sung better.
This is a truly beautiful song made all the more poignant by circumstance.
