The Chrono Show is a live album by Richard Thompson. The album is compiled from recordings made during Thompson's 2004 tour of America, and features songs from Thompson's back catalog, most of them written prior to 1983 and arranged in mostly chronological order.

The opening "Watch Me Go" had been more recently written and never before released and the closing "She May Call You Up Tonight" (with vocals by Thompson's son Teddy) is a Left Banke cover that he has featured in live performances since the 1970s.

"Jack O'Diamonds" has lyrics by Bob Dylan and dates back to Fairport Convention's first album.

The lyrics to "Hokey Pokey" are substantially revised from the original version that was recorded in 1974.
