Richard is unbelievable on this.

Me too! I watch this videos whenever they pop up! I need to compile them into a playlist!

I hear ya. Been listening to it all day... Richard is _in the zone_...

i agree and the same is true of the guy at the other end of the stage.

Amen

Don’t forget to throw in John Prine.

Three of my favorite singer/songwriters in one go!

ken carpenter Lost years I misplaced RT, I found out he was scoring and playing in movie music. What an enjoyable re-awakening I had when I dug out all his old stuff. Pure talent and genius. All the new stuff is a bonus. And, he seems to be a great guy.

Why not 3? Each deserves a place in pantheon.... Tio Mitchito

It (Loud's voice) has gotten good. I've been shlepping to his shows since the early 70's and it was nowheres near as easy on the ears as it is now. His sense of dynamics has finally caught up to his prodigious phrasing skills where much of his charms lay way back at the beginning. All 3 of these recording artists growth in their work and play is evident from recent recordings and gigs like these. But where is this songwriters circle held? Back when there was still a Bottom Line nightclub and there is still the tiny Cornelia Street Cafe, Kettle o Fish and Fast Folk's SPEAKEASY or The Bitter then The Other End. Decades since I've been able to afford even a visit back to the city of my well-spent yoot. Is this one of chandeliered banquet hall something that is part of NYU too?

***** More is less

They did tour together once. The Load and Rich tour. I'm sure they did many numbers together. Sorry I missed it.

I wish ALL aspiring musicians would watch this concert.

@@mikelasater2016 Kinda sure it was the Loud & Rich tour of UK. However I like your name better, The Load and Rich tour. Enough ego there and self-consumption to leave quite a load in their tracks.... Weird though how that is where the good songs come from. Terrific for the counseling and shrinks' billings. Even Loud's family despite giving back as good as they've gotten from self-consumed and often missing Dad, the daughters and his son have chosen to take his name, not their clearly more present and perhaps even gifted Mom's family name of McGarrigle. Life though, Maker please be merciful, ain't either always fair or always kind. Loud does indeed get under our skins with his plainspoken and usually simply strummed or plucked songs and he is the anti-Disney to boot. He makes us look at ourselves and our own behavior and confront the less than handsome or noble behavior. Unlike the Greek tragedians, there's not even catharsis, just left-behind yuckiness and need for a cleansing shower. But damned if he ain't funny while also being true to life....

@@ulpana Oh man! I just saw the typo. Ha!

Loudon. Not Louden. Not Gordondon.

You spelled his name wrong! (That’s a Loudon Song).

@@suesjoy Love that song and it ain't only professionals in show biz and promotion biz that keep spelling it wrong. If he hadn't learned to laugh at the absurdities of his line of work and "professional presentation" he mighta got an ulcer! Amazing his face hasn't grown into late stage Zero Mostel's!!!!

it's a guitar tuner and it's a very common and cheap device

Was going to ask, then I saw your observation.

@@moceanu I find it unusual that someone like RT should need such a device. Surely he can tune by ear. Maybe he just wanted to ensure perfect in tune-ness to compliment LW as perfectly as possible. But interesting the different colours, I wonder if the red means some kind of in tune harmonic notes or something. I have the basic model, which only has the one colour of green, but has like a flickering arrow that settles in the middle of the range and goes green when the note is perfectly in tune. I couldn't do without it, as I can't tune by ear. Although I beleieve that most musicians can do this with ease after maybe some time of playing.

Erm... They have LOTS of times. Check out 'Reader and advisor', to name one. ;) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bciho9NhrN7Oo5c.html

I'd prefer it if you didn't make any remarks. Half of Loudon's output? Not too much of a generalization. STFU.

That's a shame, I'll take that to heart. Don't want to trample on your preferences, do we? Surely there is nothing more important. Some people have different opinions to you, get over it.

Probably a snowflake hiding in a safe bunker! ;-)

I love his serious dark stuff, but for me, the lighter stuff balances it out... been a fan since 1971

This song is on the box set "40 Odd Years". I don't think there is a Loud & Rich album, though they do occasionally tour together.

Because Spotify is for losers who are only interested in big sellers? ;)

It must have had a job keeping up!!!!

She does so respectfully. No prima donna. Its obvious who the geniuses are. Cheers.

" THEY SPELT MY NAME WRONG AGAIN...". !!!!... Christ almighty Kelly - get with it.

Suzanne is OK right where she is.

She's the best singer on that stage. Richard's the best guitarist, Loudon's the best raconteur and entertainer, but Suzanne is the better singer.
