There must be at least two other Richard Thompson box sets, not to mention a greatest hits compilation. This raises the question of whether the world needs yet another box set. After listening to this three-CD, 2-DVD chronicle of the Richard Thompson Band’s 1983/1984 performances at Rockpalast, the answer is a resounding “hell, yes!” They walk the wire, never falling, as this always-amazing chart-topping Best Live / Reissues of 2017 entry unfolds. The recording, done soon after the release of Thompson’s Hand of Kindness album, features some of that’s albums chestnuts such as “Two Left Feet” and “The Wrong Heartbeat,” some Thompson classics (“Wall of Death” and “Shoot Out the Lights”), and consistently interesting covers that amaze, as well. The band, which included the late Pete Zorn on sax and Dave Mattacks (on the 1983 dates), even manages to whip up jazz and folk classics with seeming ease. If this is just a taste of what’s in Richard Thompson’s vaults, please keep the box sets coming.
