I recently saw a video of Richard Thompson playing and singing the amazing 'Genesis Hall'. It was incredible. I was wondering if anyone knew what concert this was from and if there was a full video available somewhere.

Here's the link:

Looks like a home-grown variety - possibly taken by the poster.

Oh really. I had the impression it was official cos of the angles and the interview at the beginning...that's annoying.

I think so - it looks like a Q&A session being filmed, with him adding the odd number or two.

He hasn't released anything from that year on video, to my knowledge.

Ok cheers Chris. Can you recommend any live stuff?

Depends whether you want the more current stuff, or older? And are you still enquiring about video, or audio?

Clicking on the 'more' gave this info from the youtube page

Short interview & a brilliant performance of 'Genesis Hall' in the Sierra Nevada Brewery Chico, California on December 4, 2005.

The Austin City Limits DVD is well worth getting a hold of.

In that case, it was aired only recently - as there was chat about it on the RT email list.
