This recording is at the same venue but several months before the commercial CD/DVD release, "Richard Thompson - 1,000 Years of Popular Music" (Cooking Vinyl, 2006) was recorded. The back story is that Thompson liked the venue so much at this show that he decided to return later to use it for his commercial release. On his own site, on a Q & A thread, he was asked on 2004-11-13:

Q: "How do you look back at the 1000 Yrs Tour with the ladies? Is it true, there's a chance of a DVD?"

Thompson: "We are shooting a DVD in January, hopefully in San Francisco, for release next year."

keithdturner posted this show here in Feb. 09 a a reseed; I do not know when it was first uploaded or who taped it. There were a number of SBEs scattered about but I fixed them; otherwise, the audio was not changed.
