I've been a Bonnie fan since the early 70's. I saw her play at the Paramount NW Seattle c. 1975. Two acts on the bill. John Prine and Bonnie Raitt, both with bands. Then they did a few together. A slice of heaven. (Though I remember Bonnie off loaded too many of the guitar chores to the other guitar player.)

I was retired for a year after college, living with friends in Longbranch, on the peninsula, west of Tacoma, south of Purdy, overlooking the sound and an unobstructed view of Mt. Ranier (except when cloudy, which is often). Some forsaken place in the middle of the woods with no central heat. Somehow, we scrapped together money to see this show, pay the ferry from Bremerton, and get smelts at the ferry terminal before the ride home. Some things -- you remember them.

Big love. We calls her Bunny Rabbit.

Sings like crazy, plays guitar like crazy, female, and a red head. What's not to like.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
She kills, always has.

Here's the classic OGWT film. Skip to 0:50 to bypass nothing worth seeing. I love that fat Gibby with the one P-90 and the opener is a fav of mine. The camera got a great shot of her digging into the instrumental break at around 2:20. There's about 40 minutes of this and I'll have to find time for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NgEqtCNtzU
I think it is unfortunate that time and circumstances separated Bonnie and Freebo. The "other" guitar player from that era (Will McFarlane?) -- I always thought of him as competent but not particularly gifted, but what do I know and if I could play that well...

And sing.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Her first 3-4 albums are stellar. The whiskey and cig's changed her voice but I like both voices.

Lots of love for Bonnie in this thread. She's certainly great.

Seems Richard Thompson is somewhat under-represented ...... so here is a favorite of mine:

Richard & Linda - Shoot Out The Lights

Oh yeah to Richard Thompson also.
He's making the drummer work hard in this one-good man.
Not a great quality clip, but the band is rockin.
