Audio Live Concert

Richard Thompson- KGSR,Austin Tx 2/24/94 Live in-studio interview and acoustic xfer DAT Master Clone

On this day in history- February 24.
I realize that I have been posting a lot of short “live in radio studio” things for the On This Day project, but this one is special. This is a very honest and intimate interview with RT (like, “did he really say that” honest) and a bunch of songs live in studio. It’s almost an hour and it’s great. Highly recommended.
Some of these songs might have appeared on KGSR’s “Broadcasts” series of CD’s released from the 90s until now… but not the whole thing. Really good for even casual fans.

Audio Live Performance

Richard Thompson- Jake’s, Bloomington In 10/13/86 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape Fairport Convention

It’s a late one today! This is another one from Tony Philputt’s collection via Phil Go. It’s 71 minutes of a RT show from 1986. This one sounds pretty decent for an audience camcorder job.
