"Last Sunday evening some of us went down to that London to spend ‘Sunday Night at the Palladium’ Theatre to hear Gillian Welch & David Rawlings accompanied by just a bass player (who joined them for many of their songs). From the first notes they were on fire. It was remarkable. It was passionate and people (including me) were brought to tears. I consider it to be one of the finest performances that I have ever seen/heard. This was one of the numbers performed during one of the three encores."

"Take care folks."
"Hello RPMers, I hope you're all managing to cope with these dark evenings... Here are three tracks that I've heard this week. The first one was a very brief snippet but enough to make me realise what a fantastic song this is. The second is a case of knowing the band by name from the early seventies but not hearing any of their music until a few weeks ago! Now I'm hooked.... The third one is one of the highlights on Counting Crows excellent album from 2014, 'Somewhere Under Wonderland'."
