Richard Thompson - BBC Sessions In Concert, Celtic Connections Festival, Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow, UK 1998
At the time of this concert, his most recent album was 1997's "Industry," done in collaboration with bassist Danny Thompson (who, by the way, shows up only for the last few songs in this concert). But only one song here was performed from that album, "Last Shift." His next album would be "Mock Tudor" in 1999, and he already performed one song from that, "Crawl Back (Under My Stone)." Otherwise, the songs are from other parts of his long musical career, plus an interesting cover, "She May Call You Up Tonight," originally done by the Left Banke.
I'm sure this was a BBC recording. I know this because this actually was two sets, with "Razor Dance" being the first song of the second set. And between the two sets, there was a voiceover by a BBC DJ explaining how the first set was over but the BBC would be coming back for the second set. I cut all that out, as I usually cut out BBC DJ talk that wasn't part of the actual concert.
However, I find something puzzling: given that this is a BBC recording, the sound quality was surprisingly crappy for the BBC! The main problem was the echo-y vocals. They sounded like they were recorded in a tunnel. And the second set had even more echo than the first set. Luckily, thanks to recent improvements in audio editing technology, this was fixable. It's just that it was a pain in the ass. I used MVSEP on all the songs, splitting them into vocals and instruments. Then I took just the vocal track and ran it through MVSEP again, using their "Reverb Removal" filter.
That pretty much got rid of all of the problems with the vocals. Now, this sounds excellent, like you'd expect a BBC recording to sound.
This unreleased album is an hour and 24 minutes long.

ANOTHER SILENT WAY RE-BOOT
This was the first of the 4 night alternative rock festival at the Prince of WalesConference Centre in London, besides Joy Division also Teardrop Explodes
and Echo And The Bunnymen played.
"If I had a flair for understatement, I could say that Joy Division were good too.
"If I had a flair for understatement, I could say that Joy Division were good too.
The truth is they were phenomenal - the most physical hard rock group I've seen
since Gang Of Four.
This Manchester band have been allowed to grow at their own pace,
uncramped by commercial pressures.
The result is that they've created a totally distinctive,
cohesive sound over the last two years...
They have the spirit and the feeling."
- Adrian Thrills, NME review 11th August 1979.

Bob reflects on the audiences booing!
This always makes me howl with laughter!
Bobby reflects on the booing!
He memorised the places where they DIDN’T!!
“Texas, Atlanta, Boston, or in Ohio or Minneapolis . . ."
“I mean they must be pretty rich to go some place and boo!”
I mean I couldn’t afford it, if I was in their shoes!"
"I figure there’s little ‘Boo’ in all of us!"
just for Fun and the sun is shining here! (finally!) Paul McCartney and Wings - Can’t Buy Me Love
