Ah, it's Sunday morning and time to dip into ĐR̃äⒻṬëŕṽöï's box of Richard Thompson tapes. Members of Our Beloved V-W audience will recall these are multi-generation cassette tapes of unknown provenance, with a bit of hiss. Back in the olden times, we ran classified ads in Goldmine magazine to connect with other collectors of live radio shows. You copied the cassettes in real time, put them in padded mailers, stood in line at the post office, and then waited and hoped you'd get cassettes back from the person on the other side of the trade.On this cassette, Thompson is in fine form, and the sound is pretty good, although with a bit too much echoey reverb for my taste.Studio KAFE was a full-service restaurant and bar featuring live music and comedy acts. They also had a radio booth, broadcasting on a local cable radio station (that is, you couldn't get it on your car radio). It was an interesting idea but didn't last: Studio KAFE was open from April 1987 to October 1992.
According to the newspaper ad, Thompson played two sets. I don't know if this is the early or late show. There were two audience recordings from the other set added at the end of the tape.
