"Did you ever live in fear of the day when you'd wake up and you'd like the same music your parents used to like? This is a very frightning thing... well, it's happened. This is a big band, you see - there's at least three people up here. This constitutes a big band, so you have to do some big band numbers. This is one my Mum likes very much. Take it away, boys. Keep it cool." (before Pennsyvania 6-5000)

Taken from a Rockpalast TV broadcast, this probaby doesn't represent the whole show, but what's here is immensely enjoyable. It's the first of the Richard Thompson Big Band shows I've picked up, featuring two saxes and accordion alongside the usual instrumental line-up. Fun.
