Yep. It's rather striking that the Richard Thompson of age 22 sounds strikingly similar to the contemporary Richard Thompson. He dialed in the "signature sound" so early in his career. And as for Sandy: the voice of an angel, silenced at such an early age. <sigh>

(as much as it pains me)

John Prine
Stardust Theater
Norwegian Pearl Cruise Line
20 January 2015

It's incredible that a taper was present and bagged a fine audience capture. Excellent SQ & balance. It helped that (based on ambient/background noise level) that the audience numbered b/w 25-40 souls. Taper probably didn'e even require a "protective posse" in order to snatch a clean capture. But John Prine (reduced to) playing aboard a northern cruise liner? The humanity. Excellent setlist, nonetheless. One of the most heart-wrenching Prine renditions of "Hello In There" I've heard, and I've heard a lot of Prine renditions of that number.
