Todd at the Roxy in Atlanta January 31, 2003

Being a Todd fan for about 25 years and seeing numerous shows throughout the years in Chicago and Atlanta you never know what to expect with each new show except that it will be enjoyable. Todd's voice sounded great and maybe he has lost some range but I thought it was in fine form. There were a few major technical problems that caused Todd to have to leave the stage for a few minutes till they were resolved, stage monitor not working. Todd took it all in stride joking that the stage was haunted and he had to perform an exorcisim with "Tiny Demons". Todd's guitar playing was great and he struggled a little on the keyboard. He wanted to play a piano but the one that they brought him looked as if it had been through a war and then dropped down the stairs. Set list was similar to the Florida shows. Highights were "Compassion", "It Wouldn't Have made any Difference", "Hide Your Love Away", "Hello It's Me", "Love in Action", and the finale "Dream goes on Forever". The bossa nova songs were good and there were no MP3 problems. The Roxy was packed and the crowd was very enthusiastic and Todd really seemed to appreciate it. It amazes me that Todd can sellout a place like the Roxy with no radio promotion and no radio stations in Atlanta playing any of his stuff. The crowd was just amazing real Todd heads that make you feel as if we are all just one big happy although strange family. It really is "One World." If anyone is still trying to decide if they want to see this tour please go, this is Todd at his solo best.
