Richard Thompson / Park West, Chicago, IL USA [FM Radio broadcast 1985] | VOODOO WAGON

Richard Thompson / Park West, Chicago, IL March 28, 1985, WXRT-FM

Now a Draftervoi Special from Voodoo Wagon and around the time I rediscovered Thompson and his solo work thanks to my old friend artist Graham Dean as I have mentioned elsewhere. So this is a tape from the draftermeister from a radio broadcast so it is well worth collecting (hissy or nay according to draftervoi) which I found eminently listenable!

"Another tape discovered down in Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï's basement.  I got this in trade, and it's several generations down the road from the master.  There's hiss, but not so much as to ruin it.

I found an entertainment listing in the Chicago Tribune that confirms the date of the show.  This was from a later rebroadcast on WXRT's Sunday Night "Unconcert."

These rebroadcasts are often edited down from a longer original radio broadcast...so there may be a longer original concert. “ draftervoi

P.S. love Christine Collister awesome voice (contralto?) I think this is the band that covered The Byrds (Gram Parson's) song Hickory Wind - the best version I ever heard on a Byrds tribute album
