Richard Thompson Electric Trio and guest

That's what our tickets said. We were expecting to see one of the best guitarist/songwriters in the western world perform an amazing set at the Belly Up Tavern this evening.

That's what we were expecting, anyway.

What actually happened was nearly three not-one-potty-break-lest-you-miss-something hours of mind-blowing, jaw-dropping virtuosity, wit and showmanship. This band put on one of the best rocking sets I have ever seen in my life.

If you have plans, cancel them, even if you have never heard of Richard Thompson. Do. Not. Miss. This. Show.
