    I discovered Richard & Linda Thompson in 1980, saw their last ever gig together in a London Theatre and have been seeing him just about every year at least once ever since. One of the best and most distinctive and innovative guitarists of all time on electric and acoustic and a great songwriter and performer. Also, Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, Runrig, the Oyster Band, Bert Jansch, Lindisfarne and much more.

    I have sent Richard about 6 times and he never disappoints. The greatest singer and performer of all in my opinion.

      I found this sort of by accident. I heard this song on World Cafe but it was REM`s version. I did some digging and found this wonderful group.He and his group, are they all family?

      Another question if You don`t mind, as I am just learning about this wonderful band. Are all of those young people on stage their kids? What a wonderful scene.

      @@johnweiss3748 - I'm here to put you out of your misery:
      At the front you have Richard Thompson singing and playing the red Stratocaster, his daughter and second child with Linda Thompson, Kami Thompson, is standing next to him singing harmony, his grandson Zac Hobbs (mum is Richard and Linda's first child Maimuna) playing a Telecaster stands just behind them, and behind Zac, on bass with the long hair is Jack (RT's son by his second wife Nancy Covey). Next to him (also on Telecaster) is Kami's husband (so RT's son-in-law) James Wallbourne - guitarist with the Pretenders and the Pogues and now in a band with Kami called The Rails. I think the drummer is James Wallbourne's brother. Last but not least is Teddy Thompson on acoustic guitar (RT and LT's third child). Hope that helps satisfy your curiosity.

I just saw RT and band at Portsmouth Guildhall - his grandson Zac Hobbs was on rhythm guitar and mandolin: RT let him take a few solos too - he was really good!! On drums was Fairport drummer Dave Mattacks who was incredible and new wife Zara Phillips singing. RT sounded as amazing as ever and he played Guns are the Tongues from the Sweet Warrior album which was fantastic.

      Dave Swarbrick was a great musician who was known and loved by millions. Richard Thompson has been recognised as one of the best guitarists in the world for nearly fifty years as well as being a great songwriter. Just because you're ignorant, doesn't make them nobodies.

      An electric rhythm guitar (played on the original version by Simon Nicol) provides depth and resonance to "WOD" sometimes missing on trio or acoustic takes.

      Linda managed to overcome her 'hysterical dysphonia' enough to record again, but live performances are still very difficult. She recorded her cover of Tom Waits' DAY AFTER TOMORROW live on purpose to access the nerves and terror.

    Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death

    You can fly away on the Rocket or spin in the Mouse
    The Tunnel Of Love might amuse you

    And maybe you're strong
    But what's the good of ringing a bell
    The switchback will make you crazy.
