Richard Thompson Band: Live at Rockpalast

The show, recorded by German TV and radio station WDR, was an incredible demonstration of Thompson's musicianship and shows a band in total harmony within itself delivering to its fullest. They carry the music of their "boss" and give him the lightness and the leeway to fully unfold his potential. The concert is an absolute must-have for every Thompson fan.
