Even when he supported the Floyd back in 1975, people said the guy blew them off the stage.

He was deepest friends with Nick Drake, you know.

I saw him last night, at the Barbican in London, and he blew every single act I've ever seen, away. (Including the number of performances I've seen him do.)


There's nothing up on Youtube from the gig, yet.

But there are clips from a gig he did last month.


In the first clip, that's a kind of horn wishing him welcome. It's saying "toooooooot". It's not a "boooo", or a Booooooooom"!

At the very same time Richie was playing, John Martyn lived next door to Jimi, at Shokan House, Woodstock!
