[DID NOT ATTEND: April 13, 2024] Richard Thompson / Jonatha Brooke
I’ve seen Richard Thompson more than almost anyone else.
I really want to see him with a full band, but that doesn’t seem to happen much in our area anymore. He even announced a tour with a full band, but this show was meant to be solo (with help from Zara Phillips).
I have never been to the Scottish Rite Auditorium, which was another reason that I was looking forward to this show.
And then I wound up having surgery earlier in the week. I probably could have still gone to this show, but honestly it just felt like too much work, getting all the way down there and walking to the venue, all while trying to take it easy and recover.
I know he’s playing in Bethlehem later this year, but again, I don’t think it’s with a full band. I need to hear Richard rock out on an electric guitar again!
I know Jonatha Brooke from when I used to live in Boston. She was in a band called The Story and then went solo. I really liked her album Plumb (1995) and then I pretty much lost track of her. I had no idea she was still regularly putting out music.
I would have liked to hear her, although I see from the setlist that she didn’t play anything I knew.
