Excellent vid of "When the Spell is Broken" on a nice cedar topped Lowden. Good luck trying to sound like him, though! :lol:

I held my hand on the screen for the whole song, but it just didn't come through, I wonder why? :? Steffan

Thank you for this link! I'm very much looking forward to see him live end of the June. I've never heard his records before, only some video links here on LTG.
Markus :D

Richard Thompson is as good as it gets IMHO Markus. Bonnie Raitt covers that song, and as much as I love her, it's awful hard to outdo the man. 8)

Thanks for that, Sandy.
I really like RT as well. So many great songs.
"'52 Vincent Black Lightning" is still a favorite of mine, and a real treat to see/hear him do it live (just guitar)
at a local theatre a year or so ago.

...Markus, I think you'll love the show. And his live acoustic sound (Lowden w/ Sunrise p'up) is phenomenal!

So we saw RT in concert today: Solo, playing almost 2 hours.
Only about 200 people and we stood first row, 3 meters from RT.
Great show, incredible playing! :shock:

GREAT shots Markus! It's been far too long since I've seen RT.

Are you going to be the official photographer for LMGII?
