Thanks Richard, a fitting tribute to my father Denis Minett who was in charge of the experimental section at the Vincent HRD factory and produced the first Black Lightnings 48 - 50.
At times breathtaking, jawdropping, strangely affecting. And effing beautiful. Unforgettable.
We agree. What a legend!
Greatest song ever written...
So many people will regret not appreciating him when he passes on.
I agree one of the BEST songs ever written.
Amazing delivery! He must have performed this song a million times, and yet makes it sound like the first time!!
That guitar part is not only beautiful-it's impossible. Love this song!
Altered tuning and hybrid picking. Bass strings do the rhythm and the melody line is on the higher strings
@@philmus1this is one of the few tunes in which he employs traditional fingerpicking w/thumb-pick. He has one the greatest right hands in guitar... no matter what technique he happens to be using.
The more I listen to this man the more I love music again. His songs are brilliant and his guitar playing is fantastic
Love the small intimate settings so much more than concert halls!
Best motorcycle song ever!
What a musician.
AMAZING! He really does get a sound like nobody else, with that hybrid picking style. How is Richard Thompson not a household name?
Somebody asked me yesterday 'do you like Prince ?'. And the answer was yes. However, he can't hold a candle to this man, in my humble opinion. More irrelevant comments later this new year !
This is just SO GOOD. As someone who plays guitar, Richard Thompson's talent is something in which I love to immerse myself! He is just so jaw droppingly good.
His soulful vocals here also bring goosebumps.
shout from sweden cuz
My favourite love song
You are so god damn right, Richard
What a great song
Just saw this live a couple weeks ago. AMAZING!!!
Wow.
We know!
Did anybody get brought here by Amanda Palmer? This man is amazing, how did I not hear of him for 25 yrs?!
whos amanda palmer [i came here by richard [since early fairport days
@@stanedwards3731
Maybe Amanda Palmer of Dresden dolls? she is also married to the writer Neil Gaiman,I don't get the reference,maybe through a google link?
awesome, he's as good as it gets......
there's nothing more to be said. well, i can't add to it !
Wow - thanks for posting. Such a great song and performer!
You're welcome, hit repeat and enjoy!
wow!!! thank you.
Greatest motorbike song EVER!
I can die happy now...holy f!
Don’t that sound great!!?? Similar words come to mind when it’s been too long since I last have this a listen
03/03/2005 I got the call... come down to his dying bedside. It wasn't a vincent, but that bike was his everything.... It changes you... becoming a widow
The gratest biker song ever written and performed, If only it was about a Black Shadow. I've ridden Norton's, Triumphs and BSA's many times but a Vincent only once. He's right it does have a soul. The guitar part is impossible to play,
Maybe it's down to the version you hear first, but I came looking for the original composer of this song having heard Sean Rowe do a version which totally blew my mind ... such energy and drive. Out of interest in who wrote this song I came here. I have to admit from a technical point of view Richard Thompson is very, very good, technically better than Sean Rowe for sure, but for me heart and soul are far more important than technique and Sean's version really does hit the spot!
Always a favourite
Thanks good
Superb! Such long, slender fingers, too.
stunning.... thanx. i send this to my friends & family
This is still the best version of this great song that I have heard, and I have heard a few, tho probably not all. I think the Scottish brogue adds as much to it as the guitar does and I really love guitar when capoed up a few frets in a skillful finger picking style as Richard does here. "Beeza"? "Triumphs and Nortons and Beezas just wont do",,, BSA.
Scottish Brogue?
Richard is as English as they come, he is from Pinner, North West London.
You are right about everything else though, often the best version is by the man who wrote the song!
Well Mister know it all, I dont care if he's from Timbuktu, he sang that song with a Scottish brogue and a damn fine job he did so Bob's yer fukin uncle...
I have seen him live loads of times, he doesn't speak with a Scottish accent or sing with one, are you deaf as well as geographically ignorant?
Go fuck yourself smartass...
Always a pleasure to converse with someone with such erudition and class.
Ah, yes. This is as good as it gets! 😎
Love this!
I have heard more than a few hot shot guitarists try to play this and totally blow it. Maybe Earl Scruggs but we don't see each other these days. BTW if you are ever listening to this among one percenter bikers and you don't stand and applause you may never stand again. The best biker song ever written. Too bad it isn't about a Black Shadow.
Also if everyone loves this check our aussie guitarist Jeff Lang do this song, he was the inspiration behind John butler growing up in Australia
The song, of course, is great, but the guitar playing is just the other side of unbelievable.
My Father was an orthopedic surgeon and did not like motorcycles. He would have liked this.
Why do people feel the need the dislike? Just turn off and watch wham or something
J'aime la musique
See the Sean Rowe cover.
extra voice and quitar
nice
Is he using a non standard tuning? Lovely guitar sound.
Open c tuning with capo on 3 fret
CGDGBE I play this and capo on 4 fre
Very likely

Just another pretender to the throne.
