I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

  
  You really need a silver band for this one. Originally
 on the Richard and Linda Thompson albumn of the same 
 name, and the same take appears on Linda Thompson's
 Dreams Fly Away retrospective. Richard has a solo
 acoustic guitar version on the live "Small Town Romance"
 and a tremendous more recent band version appears on
 the first "Heart of England" charity CD.
