Greetings Audio Toddheads! Warren H. (Atlanta, GA. USA) here. Tony Rogers and I have transferred our entire audio collections over to my home in 2008. We (Tony & I) thought my circumstances (A 62 year old, single, IT specialist/Audio Editor guy in Atlanta with lots of Todd Rundgren history/archival collecting since 1972) would be ideal for taking over the 'Library' in all its glory. And, so an 'incorporation' of his and my colossal collections takes place! I now curate this ‘museum’. And I plan to share much of this, just as Tony did all these decades. And yes, I’m somewhat of a Todd Rundgren Historian. I have been 'following' Todd extensively (in all forms of media) ever since I saw (and met) him here at an Historic Show at Atlanta’s Fabulous Fox Theatre on November 8 1973. So I know 'enough'. Please note that I say share my enthusiasm. No buying or selling. Nor will a penny exchange hands. Never.
I want to say a big THANK YOU in advance to all of you who are going to help and have helped with this so far. I’ll do my best. Write me anytime. twarrenh@gmail.com
Just scroll down to the items listed below by period and click on any year to browse the collection.
We've also recently been working in collaboration with my friend Frank Bubnick and his well known vast quality collection (you can visit his list by clicking on his name). Some of his editing is unequaled anywhere.
And some late breaking neat news : I believe most of you are familiar with the JEMS group. A bunch of super collectors for many bands’ audience recordings (predominate though are Yes and Springsteen). Well known for their re-mastering prowess and quality. They’ve been in contact with me for a couple of years, and in December of last year offered me all their (originals) Todd Rundgren Collection. They just didn’t have the resources or the time for refining anything by Todd Rundgren. It just wasn’t on their timeline. I received all their cassettes (60) within a few weeks! Most of them are MASTER tapes from the original Taper. They will be sending me all their DATs and Reels at a later date. I will be listing all these recordings here, as I digitally transfer them. With this addition of the JEMS collection I believe these Todd Rundgren Archives are easily the largest collection on the planet.
How do we share you ask? Well, Just for what it's worth, we really don't do the 'snail mail trading' (by postal) much these days. So, if you would like me to share or trade any of this 'Catalog' with you, it would be more convenient/easiest to share in the form of on-line file transfer. Generally, in .flac format, compressed to .zip or .rar for smoother/faster quality exchange [depending upon the size of the audio file(s) we might be exchanging of course]. Hope that all makes sense. I can work with you on 'all that'. Again, write me, and then we'll come to an agreement of sorts. Please keep in mind, that anything that is 'Official', or 'Professionally Marketed', or still available for 'Retail' purchase is not of consideration. Nor is there any monetary means of transaction.
I do not have any rights to, and I am not open for sharing any material that may be listed below that has been commercially or officially released and is still available retail. (It may be listed below for collection listing purpose only). I do not take or give any money for a single item below either. I do not take away any proceeds that are due to Todd Rundgren, family, friends, business or supporting/associated musicians. If it is ROIO (recording of independent origin), then I'm open to share. Support the artist! Go buy his stuff where and whenever available! Speaking of which; an ultimate place to find/buy Todd's releases and imports & rarities is TRBAZAAR. Check it out! If Scott ain't got it, nobody does...just about! And of course many past official CD/DVD releases and proprietary Todd merchandise is readily available for ordering on-line at The Toddstore. So check them out for sure.
I like to give credit where credit is due too. So please forgive me if I do not credit the right persons involved in making these recordings available/possible for all these years.
I’ll start a ‘Credits’ list here below, and maintain it on down the road. Like to make sure all the folks involved are appreciated. For now, let me go ahead and thank some folks that have really been instrumental in these archives (no particular order): Tony Rogers (of course), Mike Armes, Jeff Gauss 'Weavil' (RIP), Frank Bubnick, Paul Russo, Hiroshi Kawauchi, Istvan Berzenczei, Sara Kritzer, Barry Beiseigel, Marc Linowitz, Rob 'Lockjaw' Levangie, Roger Steel, Mike Adrian, Gil Ireland-Ashley, Jim Farrell, Dale Michelsohn, Gary Urwin, Don B., Bob Stanislowski (RIP), Micheal B., Jon Risen, Jon Babcock, Mark Wilpolt, Tom Cannon, Lin Sprague, Joe Franks, Chris 'Razz', Geoff (& Rick) Laurenzo, Ted Moon, Richard Roys, Storm Hunter, Moz (Mike), Sohta Fujito, David Skye, Allen Law, Matt Walsh, Kevin Lewis, Doug Ford, Dave Knife, JEMS, Jared Houser, Gene Poole, 'Elegymart', Gail Artsgard, Victor Baissait, Connor Payne and players to be named later. Special thanks to Roger Linder for providing this page space for us for decades. Let's Rock!
BTW, I call this group of people 'My Cartel'. However, I have given the group a Media name: F451 Media (as in 451 Farenheit). It is not a brand name, for nothing of mine is for sale or has been sold EVER. It is a logo for these dedicated Todd Rundgren Collectors , which most of been doing this since the early 90s (and even earler). Our logo is:

Note:Courtesy of ‘Mgoldey’Traders Den. And He says, “This is a super-clear recording and sounds like a SBD with some ambient crowd noise mixed in. Therefore, In fact, listening casually, you might think it's a SBD feed that picks up the audience in the stage mics. What gives it away are the drums, which are a little too "airy" to have been mic'd and professionally mixed. But whatever you conclude, it's a great recording.” This a wonderful audience capture! Chastain really has some great acoustics for an open air Concert. All did I was add volume level. Soundboard sounding indeed. Like ‘Mgoldey’ said: a little heavy on one of the bass drums. I’d say this is our best Audience recording of 1992 Ringo’s All Starrs. AND I WAS THERE! I believe 1992 was Todd’s first ‘stint’ with Ringo (a month after the Utopia ‘Redux ‘92’ Tour. I like how they mixed the Ringo sets around in 1992.

XTRA: CARSON'S DELTA BLUESMAN Note:Somebody just released this legit on a couple of on-line retail houses (itunes as well). We probably have these versions somewhere within the several NAZZ rarities underground things that are in the trading circle...I can't tell. But this is from the 71/2" original reel from the 11/1/67 NAZZ audition (label reads : 7 1/2" Copy of Takes from Job #20502. NAZZ Audition 11/1/67). They are quite different than the finals that appeared on Nazz (Hello It's Me, See What You Can Be & Crowded) and Nazz III (Magic Me) and/or Fungo Bat. Definitely raw takes. Also included on this disc; I have added an ultra rare find, from Mike Adrian, of one of the first know recordings of any kind by Nazz. A rough drawn - out jamming type acoustic entitled '(Carson's) Delta Bluesman'. ESSENTIAL (at least for me anyway)~ Warren |

| 1968 | THE HELLO PEOPLE ‘FUSION’ | LP (PHILLIPS 80027 - PHS 600-276 STEREO) TRANSFER WARREN | 45:00 |
| Date Added:9/28/2014 Track List:WHITE WINGED DOVES.ANTHEM.JELLY JAM.IF I SHOULD SING TO SOFTLY.HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE FREE.PRAY FOR RAIN.A DREAM OF TOMORROW.EVERYTHING’S BETTER.COME AND SEE ME.I RIDE TO NOWHERE. Note:The original Hello People were W. S. “Sonny” Tongue – vocal, guitar (stage name “Country”) Greg Geddes – bass, vocal (stage name “Smoothie”) Bobby Sedita – guitar, vocal (stage name “Goodfellow”) Larry Tassi – keyboards, vocal (stage name “Much More”) Michael Sagarese – flute (stage name “Wry One”) Ronnie Blake – drums (stage name “Thump Thump”). Actually, the story goes, Sonny Tongue had recently gotten out of a 'prison stay' (for draft evasion) to join/co-found the group! And you'll notice some familiar other names here that have had many collaborations with Todd for recordings and concert performances. In this Pre-Todd involvement era , 'The Hello People' (in all there 'mime' makeup glory) headlined the Café Wha? frequently in Greenwich Village, which is where Moogy (and then Todd) used to go to listen to upcoming musicicans. I remember seeing them on the Smothers Brothers Show! Ya'll know the rest of the history. “If I Should Sing Too Softly” is catchy, but very poppy, Harpers Bizarre-like fluff. “How Does It Feel to be Free” benefits from a kick-ass hook. “Pray for Rain” is a quirky song with a sort of jug-band feel — I like it. “A Dream of Tomorrow” is interesting but lugubrious. “Everything’s Better” is the one real skip-over for me… it’s kind of along the lines of “Pray for Rain” but really doesn’t work. “Come and See Me” and “I Ride to Nowhere” are poppy again, OK but not too distinctive. How ‘bout a little Hippie Music!?~ Warren |

YOU ARE MY WINDOW (TODD VOCALS). A BEAUTIFUL SONG.
Note:All the die hards know this, but for those that didn't: Nazz's second album was to be a double album (as per Todd's wishes) called Fungo Bat. Recording began in Nov 1968 and completed in Spring 1969. Due to band members indifferences & management decisions, it was never released as such. Instead (and unfortunate to many and to us), Nazz Nazz (as it the decided title) was released in April 1969 as a single album with the following Tracks: Side One: 01 Forget All About It 02 Not Wrong Long 03 Rain Rider 04 Gonna Cry Today 05 Meridian Leeward 06 Under the Ice Side Two: 01 Hang On Paul 02 Kiddie Boy 03 Featherbedding Lover 04 Letters Don't Count 05 A Beautiful Song Todd had split the band in the Fall of 1969 accordingly. Much of the balance of the Fungo Bat sessions were released in May 1971 as Nazz III with the following tracks: Side One: 01 Some People 02 Only One Winner 03 Kicks (Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil) 04 Resolution 05 It's Not That Easy 06 Old Time Lovemaking 07 Magic Me Side Two: 01 Loosen Up (Antoni/Mooney/Rundgren/Van Osten) 02 Take the Hand 03 How Can You Call That Beautiful 04 Plenty of Lovin' (Carson van Osten) 05 Christopher Columbus (Carson van Osten) 06 You Are My Window On five tracks (Only One Winner, Resolution, Its Not That Easy, Take The Hand, and How Can You Call That Beautiful), Stewkey's vocals are overdubbed over Todd's So for completeists, archivists and die hard collectors, here are the Fungo Bat acetates in all their rare glory. Album One: 01 Forget All About It 02 Only One Winner (Todd Vocals) 03 Magic Me 04 Gonna Cry Today 05 Meridian Leeward 06 Under The Ice 07 Some People 08 Rain Rider 09 Resolution (Todd Vocals) 10 Old Time Lovemaking 11 Featherbedding Lover 12 Take The Hand (Todd Vocals) 13 How Can You Call That Beautiful (Todd Vocals) Album Two: 01 Loosen Up 02 Sing A Song 03 Good Lovin Woman 05 Sing A Song Reprise 05 Its Not That Easy (Todd Vocals) 06 Plenty of Lovin 07 Letters Dont Count 08 Kiddie Boy 09 Christopher Columbus 10 Hang On Paul 11 Not Wrong Long 12 You Are My Window (Todd Vocals) 13 A Beautiful Song~ Warren |

| 1969 | BABA SCHOLAE ‘69’ JEAN YVES LABAT DE ROSSI (M. FROG) | AD VITAM RECORDS (RE-RELEASED 2013) | 56:00 |
| Date Added:12/6/2014 Track List:1984 - MELANCOLIA STREET.HALF DAY.WILL MEANT CIMENT.JULIUS.LA CHASSE AU SERPENT À LA FLÛTE.GO DOWN SUNSET.TELEGRAM.SONG MY (MY LAI).KALEIDOSCOPE.KEEP IT 'RYTHMIQUE'. JUST LIKE GEORGE.WHITE BIRD.SHE'S AN INDIAN IN MINOR.SONG FOR A NEW CONNECTION. L’OEIL DU MAÎTRE.1984 - MELANCOLIA STREET (REPRISE AVEC SOLO GUITARE). Note:Ya'll probably know more about this 'sleeper' than I did. An M. Frog (His name at that time: Jean Yves Labat De Rossi?) involvement from ages ago. It pre-dates anything I even knew about him. This was re-released in 2013. Apparently the band (Baba Scholae) had quite the 'cult following' in Europe in 1969. It is fresh pre-Prog rock that is a very very enjoyable listen. Many reviews call it ‘King Crimson – like’ and I couldn't agree more. From everything that I have read or heard about Jean Yves Labat in the past was that he was not a great musician, keyboardist or much less that he could sing. However, this strange affair shows me that he was/is quite the 'virtuoso'! No wonder Todd had to have him in his 'line-up'. I list it here only for my own ‘Todd related oscurities’ purposes, but It is officially available at some on-line retail houses. So go buy this one. You’ll be happy you did. It is wonderful. Eclectic, but wonderful. Timeless. In 1969, Baba Scholae consisted of Steve Baylis on Drums, John Arthur Holbrook on Lead Guitar, Keyboards & Vocals, Alan Jones on Bass , Jean-Yves Labat De Rossi on Flutes, Saxophone, Bombard, Keyboards & Vocals, Jules Vigh on Guitar & Melotro and Woody Woodbine on Lead Vocals. ESSENTIAL~ Warren And please forgive me for the incredibly long review here, but it explains a lot about this timeless piece. Jean-Emmanuel Deluxe (in 2012) said, "«69» of the Baba Scholae is a major album of the year 1969. It is a cult disc that never disappoints - quite the reverse, when, like me, you can listen to it in the very best conditions after decades of obscurity. Some legendary records lose their power once they are revealed and it becomes obvious that the fantasy of the music lover exceeded the realities of the work. This is not the case here: Jean-Yves Labat de Rossi, John Arthur Holbrook and their friends conceived a classic work worthy to be ranked with the Rock masterpieces of the period. But today - all nostalgia put aside - is the Baba Scholae album still as meaningful as it ever was? Unlike some other discs reminiscent of the famous "Madeleine de Proust" the album of Jean-Yves, John, Jules, Steve, Alan and Woody far surpasses even those very appealing legendary names of the 60's such as the Marquee, the Speak Easy, Zanzibar Productions and the Rock'n'roll Circus. This album that you can (at last!) hold in your excited hands takes us by surprise because it still affects us, here and now, as pristine as ever. The 21st century listener is perhaps even more capable of understanding this project than his 20th century counterpart because he can rely both on hindsight and 40 years of musical productions which his glorious predecessor could not enjoy. Terms such as "rock psyche" or "progressif impose too many limits to apprehend this Anglo-French opus. Jean-Yves Labat de Rossi and his "partners in crime" were far too young, proud and ambitious ever to want to imitate the groups of the late 60's who nevertheless brought out "instant classics" with disconcerting ease. Baba Scholae is a stubborn entity that aimed at going forward to explore new territories with a freshness that prevented them from falling into the pitfalls of the ironic post modern pastiche that weights down many contemporary discs. "If it does not exist, it must be invented" such seemed to be the watchword of Baba Scholae which could rely on the recklessness of the young that allows progress to be made without following established tracks. Pioneers are not conscious of being so and allow themselves to make creations which their successors would never dare to imagine once the "tables of the law" of rock had been set in stone. In this sense, without knowing it, Baba Scholae enters into the family of artists and cross current groups who, even if they are inspired by their environment and their times, are not their prisoners. Some names?: Frank Zappa, Devo, Brian Eno and the Flaming Lips, are explorers who, in their own way, like "the Enterprise" of Star Trek, have all sampled worlds where man had never previously set foot. Some proofs?: 1984-Melancolia Street is a folk song stamped with Saudade that would not be amiss amongst the present day renewals of this musical style. Half Day could have been a title of Gorky's Zigotic Mynci with its accents of the school of Canterbury revisited. Kaleidoscope is a timeless pop song, perverse in its structure, that would make the galaxy of artists of the Elephant 6 collective such as Olivia Tremor Control green with envy. Keep it "rythmique", with its mixture of folklore and hypnotic playful pop, is worthy of the great moments of post-rock. I must stop here - or I could go on for hours, but I am sure you have grasped the gist of my remarks. Like the greatest uncut diamonds in the history of rock, Baba Scholae "69" is an exceptional record which could remain buried for several generations without losing its lustre. Let us meet in 2050 when I have no doubt that the musicologists and critics of the future will reach the same conclusion." |

So it wasn't released (and really no longer in print) until 1973...due to all the stars licenses and such. Moogy was just a teen and directed the sessions pretty much. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Here is the first ever TR production. And the first Ampex release (#a-10101) for Albert Grossman's Bearsville Label (but printed on Ampex). This is a rock album but not too hard. Very straight forward/early production style by Todd. It's the album deal that brought Paul Fiskin to Bearsville and into Todd's life for the Runt deal soon to follow. Sara did a super job on the digital transfer. The official (out of print) LP/release is from Hiroshi's collection in Japan.~ Tony |

RIO GRANDE. DISAPPEARING WOMEN. WE SAIL. NEW TRUCKER'S CAFE (LIVE) Note:One of the very first projects Todd ever did with Ian, Sylia (where Todd met Norman Smart...and worked on Ballad of Todd Rundgren demos during breaks)and Amos Garrett. This is where this band was launched and would spend years on Canadian TV, making big bucks for years to come, as the host band of a Variety Show. This is a very different country/folk/rock type project (more typical of Grossman's taste than Todd's). Recorded for Ampex orginally. Thanks to Roger Steel for sharing his CD. We think it's one of the seminal country rock albums of all time, leading the way for all followers to flock to Nashville. *Special Note: I'd like to thank so much Istvan for his recent brilliant transfer of this original 1970 Ampex issue on reel to reel! These decades old phonics are marvelous today!~ Warren |

Note:This is Todd producing a live white/blues lp from way back- kinda strange that he did this and James Cotton so early, since the blues really is not that pronounced in Todds music then.This is just a solid old jam filled album that the hippies used to have when they couldnt get Robert Johnson albums...chuckle...This is good!

| 1970 | 'RUNT' THE ALTERNATIVE PRESSING | MINT DUB FROM AN ACTUAL OBSCURE PRESSING | |
| Date Added:11/20/2014 Track List:BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. BELIEVE IN ME. WE GOTTA GET YOU A WOMAN. ONCE BURNED. WHOS THAT MAN. HOPE IM AROUND. DEVILS BITE. IM IN THE CLIQUE. THERE ARE NO WORDS. BABY LETS SWING. SAY NO MORE. BIRTHDAY CAROL Note:First of all, what I must add here is; what we have here in our 'vaults' is an EXCELLENT 24/96 'needle drop' from a rare mint copy...by my partner Jeff 'Weavil' Gauss. It don't get no better than this. So, thank you Jeff! The story behind the differences has all been told before. Everybody should have this. We know that the difference in the two pressings is difficult for the non-Todd 'fantremeist' to understand. The simplest of explanations is that the inadvertant early vinyl pressing of Todd Rundgren's debut, "Runt" (of which there were only 5000 copies pressed), had the distinguishable appearance of 5 tracks on one side and 7 on the other, as opposed to 4 and 6 (the intended release)--the music differences are as follows (actually a very pleasant mistake): Broke Down & Busted- Short vocal intro extracted from There Are No Words as intro Believe In Me - No differences We Gotta Get You A Woman - No differences Once Burned - Switched with Who's That Man Who's That Man - Switched with Once Burned Hope I'm Around- Alternate version of tune that eventually appeared on Ballad Of Todd Rundgren Devil's Bite - Several different edits, more notes in guitar solo I'm In The Clique - No differences There Are No Words - No differences Baby Let's Swing - Full version with additional lyrics and without addition of other medley tunes "The Last Thing You Said/Don't Tie My Hands" Say No More - Not found on later versions Birthday Carol *Recent background correction where Jon Risen tells us, "The first pressing of Runt (which was released in June of 70...it's scribbled in the runout groove) Has the normal 6 tracks on side one and 4 tracks on side 2. A second pressing in November of 70 (also scribbled on the runout) has 7 tracks on side one and 5 tracks on side 2. It was actually the second run of these (at seperate AMPEX plant) that was a mis-press." And even after they realized the mistake they went ahead and packaged and released it. It seems 1000 copies (some purport 5000) were mis-pressed. |

But the tunes are one of late 60s and early 70s and this album is good... but very much like the West Coast psychedelic bands...no, not bad, but not a fit for Todd...Good for us he got out ~ Warren |

| Date Added:7/26/2012 Track List:LOOP GAROO. WESLEY. THE SUN AND THE MOON. FREEDOM BLUES. LADY ON THE TERRACE. MOVE ON. RAINY DAY LADY. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. BLAZE. Note:This deserves a place in the archives. Just some Todd guitar work here (apparently). But definetly influenced. Tommy Cosgrove (Guitars/Vocalas), Stu Woods (Bass), Dr. John (Piano) and Rick Marotta (drums) were part of that band and released the two lp's: "Brethren" (see 1970 entry) and this "Moment of Truth" on Tiffany Records. Dr. John plays keyboards on the first album and Mike Garson on the second. Moogy only (co)wrote "Mississippi Freighter" (track 3 on Brethren), "Just To Be There (track 9 on Brethren) and "The Sun And The Moon" (track 3 on Moment of Truth). “Moment Of Truth” is the second album released by Brethren, and moves easily between country-rock on the pop side of the Band and soul-rock similar to the Rascals, but the stress is generally light and lively, as Tom Cosgrove’s vocals provide most of the interest. Martha Stewart & the Girls add depth with their soul background vocals. The tracks on side one contain three covers including an eight minute plus version of Dr. John’s “Loop Garoo”, and a remake of Moogy Klingman’s “The Sun And The Moon”. Side two is all originals featuring some fine Cosgrove originals including “Lady On The Terrace” and “Rainy Day Lady”. Mike Garson chips in with the soulful “History Repeats Itself”. Most notable about Brethren, besides the fact they were an excellent band, is that the four members went on to become in demand back-up musicians. Tom Cosgrove, (vocalist and guitarist) was in demand by many, including Al Kooper and Todd. Rick Marotta (drums), backed dozens of artists including John Lennon, while bass player Stu Woods went on to back up Jim Croce & Janis Ian, and keyboard player Mike Garson had quite a run with David Bowie among others.

| 1971 | JAMES COTTON BLUES BAND - 'TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS' (TR PRODUCED) | 24/96 TRANSFER FROM VINYL BY JEFF GAUSS | 66:41 |
| Date Added:10/12/2014 Track List:THE SKY IS FALLING. LONG DISTANCE OPERATOR. IM A FREE MAN. CANT LIVE WITHOUT LOVE. KIDDIE BOY. SHE MOVES ME. TONIGHT I WANT TO LOVE ME A STRANGER. NOSE OPEN. GOODBYE MY LADY. GEORGIA SWING. Note:Norman Smart (of recent Mountain fame), Moogy Klingman, and others make their first mark on Ohio here. This does sound a bit 'dated', but included are versions of the Nazz tune Kiddie Boy, as well as Georgia Swing (performed in both '71 and '72 Radio B'casts), and Tonight I Want To Love Me A Stranger...(performed in 7/1/71 sung by Norman). We think these sessions are pivitol in the relationship of Todd with at least Moogy and Smart... which lead to greater things on down the line. Oldtimers will recognize (with a smile) the Great Imposter, which actually was issued by a bootleg company in the 70s/80s when Nazz originals were impossible to find (before the Rhino re-issues)-so they thought they'd just hire someone to re-record them- They are decent but the vocals are not great, and it is keyboard driven...never been issued on CD...Thanks again, to my Partner Weavil!~ Warren "It's a wonderful side of TR (All Guitars), Moogy (R.I.P.), and much of Todd's 1971 crew like N.D. Smart, Stu Woods, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, David Sanborn, Joel O'Brien (Drums)... and the many others".~ Jeff Gauss |

This recording is Istvan's very rare source (Possibly the Master reels. Courtesy Bob Stanislowski RIP) which is the most complete, with ALL the fun rants & banter between tunes included. The other versions I have much of these kind of tidbits omitted. This also has a complete 'Hold Me Tight'. So this is special. REAL special. The quality is first rate and it’s about time this show made to digital. Hear the premiere recordings of all of these tunes. The same band as Hempstead a year later (1972), but with the Moogy added - promoting the Ballad album. Todd (as was also the case in 1972) shares the spotlight very much, but his guitar is fierce. Unless someone comes up with a Nazz live tape, this is the first ever live Todd Rundgren show that's 'out there'. The mix was done live by Jim Rowe (who recorded Runt and Ballad of). Jim gave us occasional volume bursts, when Todd played hot lead guitar (for 1971!), but other than that... wow...a preserved historical recording. Then of course Japanese release, 'Somewhere/Anywhere' appears in 1998 with Be Nice To Me, Believe in Me, Oh Baby Baby and Hold Me Tight. Still available through some houses on the web if you try hard enough. Try TRBAZAAR for sure. ENJOY! ~ Warren |

| Track List:NO TRACKS JUST THE WHOLE PROGRAM IN ONE TRACK. Note:"One-hour special conceived produced and featuring Bearsville artist Todd Rundgren".Just a pleasure in sounds and music. Basically a travel through Todd's career up to and right after Something Anything. This whole one big cut (no split tracks) is era 1972. Samples from the super rare Randy Reed basement tape 1965, a sampler of Woody's Truck Stop. Full cuts of some Nazz, Runt, Ballad of Todd Rundgren and Something/Anything. With a little of all the artists he produced (at that time) sandwiched in between all the sounds and music. It's just an hour of Todd having fun basically. This thing is super essential for us Todd Collectors!~ Warren |

THE NIGHT THE CAROUSEL BURNT DOWN. SAVING GRACE. MARLENE. SONG OF THE VIKING. I WENT TO THE MIRROR. Note:This is different. It sounds odd, and almost feels like it could be one of those machines that mutes the lead vocals on records...but in later places it sounds like an acetate. The tapes are very crystal clear and you can hear the vocals are there, but mixed way low in places. They called it a 'click track' back then. And some different lyrics here & there to prove that it's the Real McCoy folks! It is interesting to hear the instruments alone, and what a masterful job Todd did on the tracks (thats why we called it 'Stack o' Tracks'). But it is record one only. This is truly a treat for those who wish to tackle Todd's songs karaoke style! Surfaced around 1999 from Japan somehow. Sound is superb.~ Warren |

| 3/72 | MOOGY & THE RHYTHM KINGS ‘UTOPIAN DREAMS’ | WLIR FM LONG ISLAND | N/A |
| Date Added:5/17/2012 Track List:WLIR INTRODUCTION. MIDNIGHT TRAIN. TONITE I WANNA LOVE ME A STRANGER. DUST IN THE WIND. HEAVEN ON EARTH. GIMME THAT BREAD. WELCOME TO MY HOUSE. I CAN LOVE. CRYING IN THE SUNSHINE. KILPATRICK'S DEFEAT. THE MAN AT EASE. I'M A RAM. MAKIN THE ROUNDS AT MIDNITE. RAISED ON AN ISLAND. ACAPELLA. Note:The following is a not so impartial (and long) review of Utopian Dreams, the new release of an old live-in-the-studio recording by Moogy & the Rhythm Kings, Long Island, March 1972: The set opens with the rollicking locomotive grind of Midnite Train. Next up is the funky Tonite I Wanna Love Me A Stranger that sports a cool Dr. John vibe. The soulful confessional Dust In The Wind follows which is without question one of Moogy’s best-known and beloved compositions. The instrumental Heaven On Earth is a jazzy delight, reminiscent of some of that era’s better prog-bop tracks. Woulda fit in nicely in Mickey Rourke’s Barfly flick. The great Ralph Schuckett takes center stage for the next two tunes, the street-wise shuffle of Gimme That Bread and the bittersweet ballad Welcome To My House that’s sure to be a fan favorite, especially in light of the fact that 38 years after the actual performance most of us Boomers can relate to the beautifully expressed sentiment. Just a wonderful song. The following four are all Moogy standards (I Can Love / Cryin’ In The Sunshine / Kilpatrick’s Defeat / The Man At Ease) delivered with typical soulful flare and tight arrangements. I’m A Ram is an all-out rock-funk jam with plenty of electric piano and organ solos. Makin’ The Rounds At Midnite is a self-professed hunk of funk with a tip of the hat to Jerry Lee. The set concludes with Raised On An Island which starts off with a distinct Siomos drum beat, then John Siegler falls in on bass, then Schuckett on organ, and finally Moogy offers his “humble lick on the piano.” “We’re gonna rock and roll all day, we’re gonna rock and roll my friend,We’re gonna rock and roll all night, then we’ll rock all over again!” It turned out to be more than just a Utopian Dream, it laid the foundation for one of the most respected and creative musical forces of the era – a few years later the mother ship landed and out popped Todd with his spacey guitar and Utopia became a reality. Keep On Rockin’ Moogy! May You Rest In Peace Brother! Utopian Dreams is brought to you by Moogy Klingman/Silver Moon Music and is available for purchase from the Silver Moon web site. NOTE: the performances are grand, the sound quality not exactly pristine. My suggestion is to dial down the bass, bump up the treble, crank the V and enjoy with a Newcastle Brown or three. SO TODDHEADS, GO GET ONE THROUGH SILVER MOON MUSIC OR TRBAZAAR! |

The other versions I have much of these kind of tidbits omitted. The Hello People back Todd on (and vice versa) this studio recording from Hempstead May 1972 (56 minutes). 41 years ago folks and I'm hearing this like I'm in the studio with them. 'A Dream Goes On Forever' premiers to the worlds ears two years before it's on vinyl anywhere. The fast peddled 'Georgia Swing' has always been one of my favorites. A few fun Hello People songs showcased here. The Philly soulful Todd shines as always on 'It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference'. He has fun with his little 'Piss Aaron' story and the humorous fan favorite SLUT rollicks here! Again, this recording has been around for us for a long long time. A true Todd historic piece. And if you're a collector, you have this. If not, you need to have it.~ Warren |

Note:Probably the very first Boot of Todd? 1972-05-02 Ultrasonic Studios Hempstead LI. The Amazing Korneyphone label. Never any label on their records/the vinyl. And as always the case; the Songs are usually mispelled and Track running order is different than the actual event (and why'd they leave off 'I Saw The Light'?). As I do with my old Todd vinyl Boots; I buy 2 (One To play & One to keep Virgin). So I ripped the unplayed one recently, to make a presentable CD. I still use My Brother's (RIP) trusty Technics Turntable. With new needle assembly. And it has a weight on the end of the arm that you can adjust for older vinyl if you need to silence 'run on' & 'run off' noise (and between tracks). You also can control to many different RPMs. I rip it directly through my Desktop using Adobe Audition. And Soundforge as a stand by editor. The result is 'super clean' phonics. As was this one.~ Warren |

Evidence tells us that Jeff Beck's Road Crew turned the PA off during SLUT. BTW, this is a copy of the tapers master (courtesy of Frank Bubnick). We also have had this edited recently by Russo. Still rough, but very much a good listen. Friend Brian McKeen recently tells us this: "I was sitting off stage and saw the whole thing with the sound. He opened for Jeff Beck and I don't remember them shutting down the whole PA but I did see someone, looked like either Jeff or Cozy Powell, crawl on stage behind the amps, and pull the power on Todd's amp just as he was starting to play Slut... The Orpheum Theatre changed names to The Aquarius for a few short years. I believe 1971 & 72. It is still called 'The Orpheum Theatre ' today however." |

Note:Apparently Todd did a stop at the Skansen Club in Stockholm during his leg with the Hello People in 1972. This is a little piece that was broadcast on local Stockholm radio July 10 1972. He performs Dream Goes on Forever and then talks a little with the announcer. And then he performs I Saw the Light with the Skansen Club's house band. Never was really in wide circulation. Guess you could say it's rare. ESSENTIAL. And awsome quality for 1972 (40 years ago)!~ Warren |

You know, when you look at all the different sounds Todd was involved in back then, its no wonder his own stuff really flowered out. Great sound/transfer. |

WELCOME HOME. RELAX GOLIATH Note:This was transferred by Sandra Winters from vinyl. Wonderful.. no surface noise..just like or even better than the original LP. Todd and crew appear. A wacky LP, but indicative of the scene bubbling around the edges of TR Utopia's sound. People say he didn't do anything, but this album sounds like an offshoot of that band. Very experimental at the time. Must have for completists. |

| 1973 | ROGER POWELL - 'COSMIC FURNACE' | LP- DIGITAL TRANSFER BY T STORM HUNTER | 49:57 |
| Date Added:3/25/2001 Track List:ICTUS-the primordial pulse. LUMIA-dance of the nebulae. FOURNEAU COSMIQUE-the alchemical furnace of Cleopatra. HERMETIC ENIGMA-the fixed volatile (the answer is but another riddle). QUEENE ENFINESKA-the serenity of the lion in summer. TENSEGRITY-a dymaxion triptych Note:T. Storm Hunter has done a wonderful job here on the xfer. The titles are a cross between acid and space age gooblygook, but the music is very different... and very much more influenced by Walter Carlos and Morton Subotnick than rock music. Todd would buy the album, and then would insist that Roger be invited to his infamous Birthday show in Central Park on 6/22/74. And Roger would then help guide the Utopia sound onward ('til they stopped in '86 and '92. This is super and a classic 'synth' release for fans of Todd, Roger and the synthesizer. |

It is slightly different in places than the vinyl (differences are subtle in mix, eq, etc...).No new tunes or anything or new mix, but fascinating to play side by side, and spot the differences at certain levels. Quite frankly this transfer from reels is history; for you have to remember that the extended amount of music Todd had put on the vinyl/album affected the sound greatly. This recording has none of that squeeze effect to it. AWSOME & ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Me not being a musician, I cannot tell from these first three awesome little electronic musical 'suites', if parts of them did not actually appear on Roger's 1973 'Cosmic Furnace' somewhere. But these are outtakes (that is, tunes that did not fully appear on the album). The fourth track is a flexi disc that was in a Arp Odyssey Magazine 1973 issue (The ARP surfacing in 1972 of course). The fifth track ('Pipeline') is an out-take from 1978. It missed showing up on Roger's Album 'Air Pocket' in 1980. However, it did appear on the 2006 CD Re-Issue as a bonus track titled 'Pipeline '76'~ Warren |

And He's done a turn table transfer in 16bit - 441 for us. And the sound is spectacular.It's nothing we don't have already track wise, but it's a extremely obscure Bearsville 45rpm ‘Promotion Only Not For Sale’ sampler (which Bearsville hardly ever did in 1973...Screen Gems yes. Bearsville no). Bearsville does a little fade out at the end of 'Never Never Land'… We all know 'Tic Tic Tic, It Wears Off' kicked in very quickly on the album. It's just nice to have for collector's trophy reasons. And thank you Jeff! You probably own the only copy on the globe.~ Warren |

A real strange affair with Tony and Hunt Sales in the band for this two week wonder tour. Background vocals were lacking here but a great set list - from this short lived, barely promoted and aborted tour.This tape quality is really not all that bad after some work and reduction of the bass. Todd, Tony & Hunt Sales, Dave Mason and Jean Yves 'M Frog' Labat. ESSENTIAL~ Warren I did a badly needed edit/upgrade Oct. 2017. It's the best we're going to get with the sound quality on this one. Very decent if I do say so myself~ Warren Special Note: Story goes; that our low generation tape came to Frank B. (and eventually to me) in a trade from Istvan. Istvan coined the first take 'Dive Bombin' (basically that's what it sounds like) in reference to BeBe Buell's Father (Harold Buell) who was quite the Historic US Navy Pilot Hero in WWII. He flew a 'Helldiver' Bomber. Thank you Istvan! |

Somebody did an excellent audio dub for us from the Don Kirshner's Rock Concert video. What's even better is we've just gotten an incredible upgrade of the video! And the ever faithful Joe Franks did us an upgrade on the audio that we added to it. This all is just PURE ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Excellent quality from original vinyl transcript. ESSENTIAL *2017-08-26 Update: Recently somebody (A Cincinnati native) shared their own personal recording on 'Soundcloud', of the FM Broadcast, on reel to reel. Probably the best upgrade of this show. Excellent quality/sound and stereo seperation! |

IKON EXCERPT Note:One of the the oldest live Broadcasts of Todd Rundgren's Utopia set in a venue/hall. WNCI FM 98. Sounds like mono to me, although it may be stereo with poor separation. It includes some pretty goofy comments by a Columbus Announcer , who even says, "...Todd's really jammin'...". (The sound is very good but not as great as the Atlanta Retro-Rock from 11/8/73 soundboard, of course). This was evidently broadcast originally on AM and FM. So it's funny that When The Shit Hits The Fan/Sunset Blvd. is performed uncensored. This is all from my low generation tape through Frank and done by Paul. Long traded tape that definitely has seen an upgrade on this digital transfer... We all know that great sounding early stuff is hard to find. We can get the real feel of living and listening to 'proto' Radio in 1973 from listening to this... Lots of character. ESSENTIAL~ Tony |

THE IKON (SEGMENT THREE w/BASS SOLO/DRUM SOLO). JUST ONE VICTORY. DANCING IN THE STREETS Note:After Frank Bubnick was done with this one, I think it's the best audience recording from the 1973 'floor show' (The first set being Todd performing with taped soundtrack music, then an intermission followed by the lenghthy banded Utopia set... in all it's glory and light show). Massey Hall is maybe a wee bit better on the second set...BUT being that this was around the time I first became fanatic with Todd; THIS is likely my favorite cherished all time live recording EVER. Also to mention: The solo set includes a rare performance of 'You Don't have To Camp Around'. And the Utopia set and the show ends with a the band's version of 'Dancing in The Streets'... Kind of a salute to Detroit (MoTown). Our tape is first generation as well. Absolutely ESSENTIAL.~ Warren Update 9/1/12: We also just got a re-tweeked/mastered version of it from our pal Joe Franks. And it's a VERY good job! Thanks Joe! |

COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU (PARTIAL) Note:* 2014-04-28 Upgrade:Another 1973 'Holy Grail', that has been sitting around in the hidden vaults, for what I think is decades, is the last portion of the 1973 Massey Hall Show. Finally! Most, if not all, of you/us have had the Show ending with 'Is It My Name'. I've noticed this on a couple of torrent sites as such too. The audience recording originally surfaced in our Todd Rundgren tape trading circulation from Frank Bubnick's Masters of the original taper's Cassettes (and not to be confused with some trades that were mixed with 'You Don't Have To Camp Around' and 'Don't You Ever Learn' from the 1973 Ford Theatre Detroit Show. Why they did that... I do not know). However, the last portion of this 1973 Toronto show was on the B side of some other tapings apparently, and missed getting in on most trading exchanges. Istvan & I have this missing piece, and I now have it here for the show to be in it's entirety. The missing tracks were 'Hungry for Love', another segment of 'The Ikon', 'Just One Victory','SLUT', some encore crowd applause & partial 'Couldn't I Just Tell You'. So here's the whole Show in all it's glory, for those of you that don't have it. I divided the show into just how it was performed. Two seperate sets (divided by an intermission). And again, it's all from original Taper's MASTER cassettes. This a magnificent quality audience recording. ESSENTIAL Historic record.~ Warren |

UTOPIA THEME. BLACK MARIA. WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN/SUNSET BLVD. THE IKON (SEGMENT 1). NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMIONATOR. IS IT MY NAME. PA/TECH PROBLEMS. HUNGRY FOR LOVE. THE IKON EXCERPT (SEGMENT 2) (CUTS - ONLY 29 SECS) Note:Another triumph in collaberation with Frank and Paul. And probably the best 1973 record we have phonics-wise. (A bit better than Detroit) from this era when The Ikon was still a bunch of smaller pieces. Performance is clear & tight. Yes, an exceptional audience recording considering amateur technology 42 years ago. At first take, we would think this was a tape from the soundboard technician, (it could be) except there’s the small bit of ‘chatter’ from somebody close to the tape source. The biggest problem(s) with this performance (and not the taper’s error) are; …first…Todd’s vocals are grating/broken and squeaky (you can hear him apologize for this before ‘It Wouldn’t have made Any Difference’. Caused by previous shows in Toronto, Cincinnati & Detroit). His vocals are particularly rough during ‘Long Flowing Robe’. And just as his voice seems to be ‘back’, with the second set with the band,…then …the theater’s PA ‘drops out ‘ 30 minutes into the set (at about 1:24 into ‘Is It My Name’). You can hear the band members discuss it, and Todd says, ‘We got problems…but we’re not just going to stand around and wait”. And the sound system just really never recovers. An witness/attendee at this show also points this out. And we have photos from this performance of Todd sharing a ‘mic’ with John Siegler during the Band set to try to overcome the sound problem. And as was always the problem with Todd’s two set shows in late 1973 and early 1974, the tapers ran out of recording tape (as mentioned in many of the above posts). In this case, we run out of music not quite half way through the second set…after 29 seconds into the second Ikon segment. From the opening of International Feel to the closing of #1 Lowest Common Denominator, this recording is good quality and an ESSENTIAL ‘partial’ to have. And the bad parts are great - if just for posterity.~ Warren |

Todd's drag friend Nicky adorned him with this makeup and costume props. It was a shock surprise 'appearance' to everybody of course. Paul Fishkin claims this garb sabatoged Todd's early career.~ Warren |

Clearly a dated LP but a great mix of old and new tunes and JOV...recd at Secret Sound---"Since this is the first Hello People record in years, the first temptation is to be historical about the band. But a band that has outlasted most other American bands since 67 has so much history that obviously something else makes them still worth recording in 74. That something can hopefully now be heard as successfully as it has been seen in the past" TR (1974) Thank you Jeff, for the recent 24/96 magnificent transfer from vinyl~ Warren |

It is the Ikon, in all its splendor, cut into FM radio playable sections by Bearsville, each of which has a central theme of some sort chronologically through the piece. This appears on the flip side of Frank Bubnick's White label Bearsville Promo LP (see entry below). Just a fascinating view into how Todd thought this should be accomplished. Personally, I wish that ‘You Don't Have To Be Afraid’ was longer. If there is a single type on that side (which there is not, really) it would be that tune. Larry Clark adds the voter ads from a vinyl source - the Flo and Eddie stuff is pretty funny. Todd & Patti Smith conversation is way out there. It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference is the 45 version live 1978. We also include another rare Bearsville (White label) Promo of When The Shit Hits The Fan with 'bleeps' of course. The Want of a Nail was from a promo cd single. Pretty high quality stuff too~ Tony *2014-03-24 Update:This just in from my Buddy 'across the pond'. Istvan just supplied us with all three Bearsville Promo vinyl versions of The 'Banded' Ikon!

He's collected and preserved for decades now- Thanks Roger! so, what about the cd? it truly is the lost TR Utopia album. Todd is all over this. His chords, voicings, productions , Willie playing with that metal snare sound Ellman had on Everybodys Going To Heaven...it's all here-some great songs with some left field twists..the strangest Hall and Oates album you'll ever hear-an almost exact compromise between Todd- "Todd" and "Abandon Lunchonette"....If you dont have this, you dont have all the Todd albums..it is one of the great productions and reeks of Todd's influence.~ Tony |

HELLO IT'S ME Note:Excellent audio from the FM portion of a TV/FM Simulast cast by WDAI in Chicago February 1974.And what a incredible performance of all three tunes. This date has always been a dispute (Fall of 1973 or Spring of 1974). Judging by the outfits and bandset, this could very well be winter of 1973. But at the end of the 'Hello It's Me' segment, you in see in the age old b&w video that the credits read "Dick Clark productions, Recorded at the Aquarius Theatre Los Angeles CA 1974". And Todd Rundgren's Utopia didn't tour California in 1973. I also understand that although 3 tunes were all that was filmed for TV by Dick Clark Productions, Todd performed an entire show that night. Wouldn't it be nice to have that!!? Anybody?~ Warren |

THE IKON (CUTS) Note:I've changed this entry description to 'Upgrade' for this show, for it has been recently edited. We've taken this first generation copy from the tapers Master Cassette to another level in quality. Fortunately, the taper's raw tapes are pretty good to start with. This first set is now wonderful. The second set (The Utopia Set) was a tough one...Due to the energy and volume of the band captured by the taper. Much distortion has been removed from these performances and most of the good phonics have been brought up front. The last three tracks are not as strong as the others, but in all, I feel that this is now one of the best audience recordings we have from Spring 1974. Unfortunately this is another audience recording show that ends prematurely. Keep in mind, that it was a time when tapers were flipping tape sides or putting another cassette in and/or ran out of tape during this half of the show due to the length of the songs. Thus we only have 19:37 minutes of the Ikon (at this time - usually a 40 minute performance). And missing (not recorded) is 'Sons of 1984', 'SLUT' & 'Couldn't I Just Tell You. The guitar playing is excellent! We got our master from Aronson, which we believe is the best surviving copy of the original taper's cassettes.~ Warren |

The Taper remains unidentified, but this is proposed to be 1st Generation copy off the Master cassettes. Same audience recording that was offered as a Boot CD (very muddy audio) decades ago, but this one much pleasantly clearer, and pretty much the complete performance ('Just One Victory'- probably the final encore tune, is missing).A COMPLETE 'IKON' HERE! A couple of tiny skips in 'Ikon' but hardly noticeable. We did some equalizing to balance out the channel levels and much of the bass distortion is removed. Now it's one of the better Spring 1974 shows we have. Vocals are very much up front on this one. Still some audience applause and clapping is present. But this 'Revisit' to this age old audience recording is a ESSENTIAL 'must have' for the serious collector.~ Warren *2015-04-03 Update: Courtesy of Joe Franks, we have a truly 're-mastered' version of this 'IKON'. He's done an incredible job with this full track and it is truly worthy of my collectors trophy shelf! |

| Date Added:8/17/2014 Track List:TODD RUNDGREN INTERVIEW W/JOHN LANDECKER 'MUSIC PEOPLE' WLS FM RADIO CHICAGO IL MARCH 28 1974 Note:Not great sound. But super rare. Not many audio interviews on record from this time (except 1974 Bearsville's Promo Interview). This was during Todd Rundgren's Utopia 'stand' at The Auditorium Chicago IL on March 28 1974 (Of course, Todd's show at this time, consisted of Todd performing the first set solo - with the instrumentals played via background/soundtrack tapes. There was a short intermission, and then the 6 piece Utopia performed a long second set in all it's glory & light show). Todd appears here for a very short talk with WLS Chicago Radio DJ John Landecker for about 13 minute mini episode of 'Music People'. It's called 'Part 1', but we don't know of any other parts other than this segment. I like Landecker's comment about Todd's hair. And it's an interesting chat. But Todd doesn't have enough time to talk about Utopia, the 'concept' and/or the individual members. No concert excerpts here either. But essential stuff.~ Warren |

IS IT MY NAME. THE IKON (Cuts 41 mins). THE IKON (Contd 23 secs.) SONS OF 1984. BREAK BANTER. SLUT. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. Note:Another very good quality audience gem that first made the early trading circles less the last few tracks. We don't know that the first half of the show (Todd performing solo with background tapes) was recorded. But this second set is now a little more complete, thanks to a 'find' by Istvan! The missing last tracks were a 23 sec partial ending of 'The Ikon', 'Sons of 1984',a little 42 second banter, 'SLUT' and 'Couldn't I Just Tell You'. Having said all that, it's also important to mention that 'The Utopia Theme' which always opened this set is also absent. But I think what we now have (so far)is a piece of historic record and a very enjoyable listen. And we can just dream that maybe one day the whole show in it's entirety will miraculously. 'The Ikon' is letter perfect and played almost note for note identical to the album version less the vocals. Was the eyeball album still being tinkered with or what?...Todd announces they'd not done it before!?.. sound is pretty strong. Performance instrumentally is stunning...this may be as tight as they ever got as the 6 PIECE BIG UNIT. I feel its the best performed version of 'The Ikon' (mistake-free and tight-wise...40+ min). Unique is the appearance of It My Name...the tune was part of '73 but not frequent at all in '74 (Hmmmm...performed at the 4/14/74 Boston Show too).~ Tony & Warren |

THE LAST RIDE. #1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. IS IT MY NAME. THE IKON. SONS OF 1984 (CUTS OUT).(CUTS IN) SONS OF 1984 Note:Newly uncovered second source of an audience recording for this show. Geoff Laurenzo comes through with a decades old rare morsel (MASTER Tape) As is our first source, it's only a partial second half of the show, but this capture has the full 46 minute 'Ikon' performance. I made the vocals a little more up front and the instrumentation is clear. I think this thing sparkles! And here also, we have a just a taste of the first set with some of 'Zen Archer' too. This second set recording ('The Utopia Set') ends after 'Sons of 1984' (Geoff's recording is split in two/Tape flip). So, not recorded were 'Utopia' and encores, 'SLUT', 'Couldn't I Just Tell You' & 'Just One Victory'. Geoff's brother Rick tells us, "I was there, with my brother, as well that night. I had forgotten how long The Ikon was. 45 minutes! With breaks the show ran just north of 3 hours. He just didn't have enough tape & batteries." Die hards would enjoy this, if just for the entire 'Ikon'~ Warren |

Note: Note:An incredible audience recording. Soundboard like. Wish I knew who to give credit to for the upgrade/EQ/Re-master that we have now (I understand that it was initially a mono recording). This thing is grand. Probably the best recording of what we call the Winter of 1973/Spring of 1974 'Floor Show'. In which Todd performs the first set solo - with the instrumentals played via background/soundtrack tapes. There was a short intermission, after ‘Le Feel Internacionale’... And THEN the 6 piece Utopia performs a long second set in all it's glory & light show. But set two is cut short here after 'Is It My Name'...damn it! That was always a problem in those old days...we'd run out of tape (cassette). Missing: 'The Ikon', 'Sons of 1984', 'SLUT' & 'Couldn't I Just Tell You'.However, THIS IS ESSENTIAL to all the old head collectors and Todd Rundgren's Utopia Historians. Very limited audience chatter. A true 'Holy Grail'! *This entry is to correct the wrong date we had of April 14 1974 (as opposed to the 17th – the correct date). Thanks to the correction from BK of Jems~ Warren |

Note:From 'DJ Promo Copy Not For Sale vinyl' w/o any groove noise - a classic from Warren's vaults. From a 96mHz 'first time/virgin needle drop' of the vinyl. Of course there are numerous tapes, boot CDs, boot LPs and torrents of this out there in circulation now. Most all very good. But we like this particular glorious sound vinyl drop the best. And it's void the Commercial Spots. ESSENTIAL~ Tony * There's always been so much confusion about this Show . 1973 or 1974? The 80s version of Retro Rock FM (with Commercial Breaks and with announcer Meg Griffin) even says "it's a concert from 1973". When I talked to Todd this year at the 2018 Atlanta Reunion Show, he wasn't of much help clarifying this. However, In a chat with Ralph Schuckett back in 2011 (Center Stage Atlanta Reunion Show), he told me that this is definitely the last set of the 1974-04-24 Fox Theater Atlanta GA. Yes, I know that the Official WhooHooLive and Rockbeat (CD & Vinyl) releases are titled 'Atlanta 1973', for they got the audio from me (and Studio Professionals Re-mastered the Music). At the time (a couple or three years ago) my File to them was Titled 1973. Mainly because at both Shows I sat next to the 'On Remote' recording technicians. And of course my name is all over their (official Releases) credits. So I'm very instrumental in them being titled wrong. So shoot me. Please shoot me. ~ Warren |

Note:Most of you are familiar with the JEMS group. They have shipped to me their entire collection of rare Todd Cassetes (long story). This Santa Monica 1974 is my first digital transfer from the mass of tapes. This one is supposedly the 1st generation, and I believe that. And much improved over what I think is in circulation.The only issues with these two tapes are many tape slips and gaps. And most noticeable; The'Taper's' (John Rude?) babble during 'It Wouldn't have Made Any Difference', 'Don't You Ever Learn' and 'Open My Eyes'. I've removed/patched/repaired much of all that. Having said all that, there were also a few tracks that Istvan (Isi) had upgraded versions of, that actually sounded better than the JEMS tapes, and I patched those in. And thank you Istan for that! We think this is almost a complete show for the most part (even the 34 min Ikon). Maybe missing (not recorded) is 'Is It My Name'? Todd (and Utopia) put on an EXCELLENT performance here. Just listen to the audience's screaming applause. So, this is my first installment from the JEMS quality collection (and there's a bunch of rare quality tapes here). And what I think we have here is an awesome representation of this Spring 1974 'Floor Show'! And one our best out of what we have of that leg of Todd's 1974 Tour. It will actually fit on two discs. But, I like to seperate Todd's set from the Utopia set. So, I use three.~ Warren P.S. This not to be confused with my poor tapes trying to be resurrected by Joe Franks (fartherobliv) in my 2012 post at http://forum.trconnection.com/viewthread.php?tid=9766#pid174228. Joe did magic. And he's great at what he does. But he only had so much to work with what I gave him. So this replaces that, and I've deleted the earler MediaFire links to save room on fastly filling space in my MediaFire account~ Warren |

It really sounds better than it ever has. The first set is the piano singalong event that started the concert (with Hall and Oates guesting among others) and the second set being 'Todd Rundgren's Utopia' in all it's glory & light show (loads of photos from the event).

Albeit a bad recording, it is listenable. And the performance is awesome, and kind of a fun listen to Todd's banter before 'Open My Eyes' about a outside 'Pop Festival in Pittsburgh' and the 'porta potties'. You can hear some firecrackers going off, being this is near the 'Fourth of July' too. This is may be the entire set by Utopia (as opposed to the complete 1974 Floorshow - with the first set Todd solo with taped accompanyment) for they were on the same bill as The Band and Eric Clapton (being the last Main Act). This was Robbie Robertson's (The Band) Birthday as well. There's a decent audience recording of Eric Clapton's performance floating around out there. BeBe Buell also shares some of her photos on-line of her and Todd walking around the ball field. |

From my buddy Frank Bubnick’s vaults. I don’t think this is within the collector’s trading circle yet either. Incredible sound…near excellent. This audience recording (unknown taper) captures the 'Utopia' second set (The first set being Todd solo with background tapes) with precision. Love to have the whole show, but this is awesome.~ Warren I add this 1974 Press snippett that Istvan provided us: "According to The Press - Rundgren Rock: Brilliant Summer Finale. Rundgren opened with Black Maria, a song of his biggest selling album, Something/Anything. His style of jumping and prancing all over the stage in response to his music and to the audience's appreciation of the musical vibrations add to his performance in a distinctive and flamboyant manner. Evrybodys Going To Heaven, Don't You Ever Learn and a classy Why Don't You Love Me followed. All the credit should not be directed towards Rundgren. Without Utopia he would be lost. They are one of the best backup bands in a long, long time. Moogy Klingman on keyboards could easily be a top notch solo performer. After a brief intermission Rundgren was back, this time without Utopia. Accompanying himself on piano he sang his immensly popular single Hello, It's Me and an exciting A Dream Goes On Forever. Both tunes were smooth and firm, put together note by note with undeniable professionalism. Back came Utopia and the best set of the night got off the ground. Rundgren described the musical menagerie as his interpretation of a futuristic constitutional convention for the state of Utopia. Rundgren and company travelled through a lavish and deeply penetrating array of tempo changes, keyboard dialogues and blazing guitar solos that sent the audience charging towards the stage, demanding more. Sons of 1984 usually ends all Rundgren shows but this time it led to two other encores. Three hours of the best rock n' roll of the summer." |

Without question one of the best 70s audience recordings we have ever heard. Clean and clear stereo with very little boominess to it. The recording is a little uneven in spots due to microphone movement, but overall very clear. The crowd is fairly respectful choosing to be mellow during the tunes and going wild at the end. The show is nothing short of outstanding. You can hear between one of the songs the guys recording the show going "...wow what a great show...". Sounds like you're sitting in the 15th row center 1974. Apparently, Roger's main synthesizer equipment didn't make the trip to the show. So the band improvised. It's funny though, I can't tell anything's missing. Missing maybe a lengthy solo Roger was doing during this time? A Retro Engineered version from Paul Russo. Paul took Frank Bubnick's original tapes,converted them to digital, and utilized various Mac based professional editing software to perfect the sound onto CD. He did a very good job. Presence is excellent and the dynamic range is preserved without the hiss. |

Let’s us know a little bit about the setlist & changes at that time too. This is a full three hour performance too. Quality of the sound aside; the band really plays their heart out for Ann Arbor!~ Warren Upgrade November 2012: This one has floated around in the trading circle for decades as being very obscure & collectable, yet holding just minimal amount of promise due to the age of the tapes. And the phonics seem as recorded very far from the stage. Todd Rundgren's Utopia performance is what has held this one dear to our hearts. I always thought it had a lot of redeemable qualities, should somebody want to tackle it's restoration one of these days. So, these tapes are another low generation from Frank Bubnick's vaults. I did nothing more than an attended dub to digital .wavs (four big tracks)and handed them over to buddy Joe Franks (fartherobliv) for his great re-mastering methods. I'd like to just quote Joe here: "158 minutes! with amazingly little to no audience noise or yap during the music. Hardly any weirdness with channel-phasing, No pitch issues. It's got other nice factors, we all know the set of course, like a nice old #1 LCD, an early 7 Rays; We get Roger Powell synth solo interlude, instead of Bassball...and basically the entire Ikon with only a short tape flip. All solid versions!! I did my 'thing', to put it real short. It's got good consistency, and I think this show is in a tough battle for respect, in between powerful & popular 10-20-74 NYC, and STL-(partial). Your 'library' quote paraphrasing 'the band poured their hearts out', pretty much sums it up perfectly.Thank You Warren, once again for letting me do this." Thanks to Joe once again for his magic!~ Warren |

Very awkward with almost no sign of an audience, but incredible sound and full Ikon with vocals (including a little 'We Gotta Get You A Woman' as a part of the segment 'You Don't Have To Be Afraid'). A very haunting Born To Synthesize...and if 'Do Ya' don't get you on your feet or make your foot tap...nothing will! You could be humming/singing 'She May Be A Slut But She Looks Good To Me'all day too. This has been in the cassette trading circles for decades, when a bootleg was even to be had! Probably the most popular of all '70s Todd Rundgren audio obscureties & rarities. But you have to hear it remastered (and Todd approved) by my Friends at WhoohooLive!

I don't know that they are actually called 'board tapes', but they are the audio 'transcript/tracks'excerpted from the entire evening. Very much important to mention here that we also have 'Do Ya' which was not part of the videos that all us old heads have copies of. We would love to have the video of it (anybody?) However, I was watching the TV broadcast that very night and I have a slight recollection that ‘Do Ya’ was shown during the credit roll at end of the broadcast and fades out into a commercial break or something. I wonder if anybody could help me out with that. We do get almost the entire tune though~ Warren |

| Date Added:1/26/2013 Track List:SIDE TWO OF INITIATION. REAL MAN & PRANA (45RPM VERSION SIDE A & SIDE B) Note:Jon Risen & friends has put much effort and thought in providing us with these mixes. Jon says,"I've always been aggravated by the so called remastering and repackaging of Todd’s albums so I elected to do my own ‘remaster’ of the ‘Initiation’ Album. I didn't do much to the sound, just tried to make it sound as natural as possible, kind of how the ‘mix-down’ master tape would have sounded in the studio. I also corrected the pitch of ‘Treatise’, which has never been corrected since it was released. It was raised originally during mastering so it would fit on one side of the vinyl LP. I also included four sequences that were used during the mixing of ‘Treatise’ that Todd found on a reel in Bearsville studios tape archive in 1998. In addition here are the 45 rpm single mixes with A Side is 'Real Man' & B Side is 'Prana' from 'Treatise On Cosmic Fire'! A funkier re-mix of 'Real Man'. Drums and guitar are up front as well as vocals. Rare re-mix of 'Prana' located on the flip side of the 'Real Man' 45 RPM single. You may be saying to yourself, this is playing too slow? This is playing at the correct speed as the entire side 2 of Initiation was sped up 1/2 a step to fit onto one side of vinyl as comfortably as possible… slow it down a half step one day to listen to it as it was intended. The guitar is mixed further up in the mix as well as the drums being more prominate. Enjoy!" –Mojorisen” |

I thought the only existing copy of this concert was on some rough tapes sent to me from Frank Bubnick. Not to demean Joe's work for he worked very hard on all we had at the time. And he came up with a good presentation.Lots of channel problems with the tapes. However, recently, Hiroshi (Rosh) had sent me his copy of a much improved show. I don't think it's any secret that I love the early 70s good ole' 6 piece band. And this is the first show of Utopia's 1975 Summer Tour (Willie replaces Kevin here). And the band is Summer 'HOT' here! Hiroshi's version held much promise, so I went to work on it. I have an old version of Audition (3.0) and it has a great Graphic equalizer (You can have 10, 20 or 30 Band. And you can listen as you proceed) so I had much to play with. My first task as always is bringing out the vocals. Without making a decibel mess. Then I work on the symphonics (instrumentation) and lastly, the bass. Audition has a wonderful effect 'Stereo Expander' which you can make a momo recording very much 'head phone-able' stereo. There wasn't alot of 'pitch' work need from Hiroshi's copy either! Any pitch corrections, I always use Audacity. I think it's a 'Beaut'. And it's one of my ESSENTIAL audience recordings. I have no idea who to give credit to for this wonderful audience recording. Thank you whomever you are. I hope your proud of what I've done.~ Warren |

Being that it was at Arrowhead, it has an extreme Stadium PA sound to it. So Geoff did a great job! We just did a digital transfer from the Master cassettes (2) on this one. No editing except splitting tracks and fade outs & fade ins for tape flips and some ‘drop outs’ during audience applause at the end of tunes. Not any bells & whistles. This was an ‘abbreviated’ set due to the fact that they were sharing the bill with other bands. Black Oak Arkansas was the Headliner. Very much listenable though. We get the entire hour long show and great for our Archives here posterity-wise. So much thanks again to Rick for sharing all his brother’s Masters!~ Warren |

For Moogy and Ralph would depart in October, before the Tour across the Atlantic. We only have 104 minutes of this one. I'm not sure of the situation with this show (whether Todd was on the Bill with somebody else or not). But, from the sets that we've heard during this leg of the tour, I think we're missing 'The Seven Rays', 'The Wheel', 'Real Man', 'Born To Synthesize', 'Death Of Rock & Roll', 'Eastern Intrigue', 'Initiation' & 'Fair Warning'. And Geoff used 60 minute tapes (two) on this one. Again, this has never been in circulation before/ever (until now).

SONS OF 1984.BAND INTROS.DO YA.COULDN’T I JUST TELL YOU.JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:This one has always been a 'sleeper'. The version that has been in the Todd audio rarities collectors' circulation, for decades, was slightly muddy. This version, that I just received, is the same audience tape, but has more between song happenings, and someone has put a "tweak" to it. I don't know what all they really did, but it's alright with me! It has some 'Arena Venue sound' to it, but many of these tracks are 'soundboardish'. The whole thing is very crisp and clear (As opposed to the version that I think we all had). And with headphones on, this whole thing is up front and in your face. Just listen to "The Seven Rays" or Todd's blistering Mustang Fender guitar on "#1 Lowest Common Denominator". There's some chatter going on during much of the show by the folks sitting next to the taper, but it's barely audible. Now one of the very best audience recordings we have of 1975. And this one special for the fact that it's the six piece band (Todd, Moogy, Ralph, Roger, Willie and John). The same band that gives us 'Another Live'. Moogy and Ralph would depart in October, before the Tour across the Atlantic. So yes we have the awesome Den Haag audience tapes (and Boston tapes from late in the Tour), but that's the reduced Band. Again, we have a lot of 'Official' release (soundboard) stuff from the 1975 Tour, but this is another grand audience capture. As with all the 1975 Tour, the show was split in half with a brief intermission (which used to 'foil' the tapers). So we get a chopped capture of "Real Man Reprise" which was a seamless part of "Fair Warning". And at the beginning of the second half, the "Vegas Style Medley" introduction fades in. I don't know what to tell you when burning to CD. For only the opener through "Eastern Intrigue" would fit on a first disc. And you really can't split "Eastern Intrigue" and "Initiation" for they are seamless music. And to put those two on the beginning of a second CD, forces a three CD set. But you'll ENJOY this 'Revisit' I sure do. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Geoff is surrounded by friends talking very much throughout.. .and much microphone movement and 'interruption'. I couldn't do much with editing. No 'seasoning'. I just split the tracks and went with it. A fun listen though. Some moments the acoustics are very good. Buts loads of chatter and yelling and clapping for the most part. It's the whole show with the exception of possibly missing opener 'Star Spangled Banner'. One for the 'hard core'. But still a collector’s item. It's the 'Another Live' time period (August 1975) with the whole Utopia ensemble: Todd, Moogy, Ralph, John, Roger and Willie. Much thanks again to the Laurenzo Brothers.

CD THREE: SONS OF 1984. DO YA. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:I was going to upgrade what I already had of this show, and then I found three dusty old CDs in my (inherited from Tony Rogers) Archives. Small hand writing to identify the audience recording just reads: 'From My Master". It's definetly a low generation recording, and a bit different from what I think is out there in circulation. And quite frankly, I hit a home run with my recent tweaking of it. I thought the recording held lots of promise. So I spent a very long time with Adobe Audition to get it very close to 'Soundboard' sound. It's now that good! I slowed the tempo/speed down (it ran too fast). I pulled the vocals very much up front. Then 'area beautification' with the instrumentation. Audition has awesome Filters and EQ, and an incredible Stereo Expand application. Many tracks had to be correctly re-split. I even patched in a small piece from 'Another Live' CD to the 'Another Life' track. This is now a EXQUISITE UPGRADE! The six minute and forty three second 'Intermission' Track pushes this Show to three discs. I seperated it, in a fashion, so that anyone may decide to omit it (or not) and burn two discs instead. Everybody will enjoy and be amazed at this new version! Quite a Collectors Trophy for your shelf. This show was a big part of Todd History. Of course, 'Another Live' was recorded at this gig. And though much of this show was recorded for the album, Moggy & Ralph quit the band just a few days after this famous gig. I call this my 'COMPLETE 'ANOTHER LIVE'~ Warren *Update 2017-09-03: Seems Jon Risen did a very good upgrade at the same time I did (One track .wav of the show). |

I can’t believe it had been missing from our vaults until now. And thanks to Istvan, it’s on our 'shelf'. These old tapes has been quite enhanced. Whoever edited it, thank you! The instrumentation is clear. But vocals are a bit distant and 'concert hallish' hollow. However, this is very good historic record, for ‘Black & White’ is debuted for the first performance of it ever. ‘Another Life’ replaces ‘The Seven Rays’ and ‘Bassball’ replaces ‘Mr. Triscuits' here. Istvan tells us that ‘Black & White’ was actually recorded, for upcoming album ‘Faithful’, during their UK leg of the tour. As mentioned in the notes of most these 1975 European dates , Moogy & Ralph had left the band three weeks prior, and Roger Powell had learned and performed the parts of three keyboardists...and pulled it off spectacularly! ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

I believe I've said this in all previous European Date entries, that I think that these Europe dates were important dates. For Moogy & Ralph had left the band by this time. This leg of the tour (European) opened with Roger playing the part of three keyboardists. He was very intimidated and worried about it all. But, he pulled 'em off with a glamour unprecedented to this day.~ Warren |

I played it so much, that I went back a year or so later and bought another one and kept it safe. Yep, it’s still in great shape to this day. It is simply CLASSIC. The phonics are brilliant. Notice the different selection and/or order of the tracks. And then the ‘Open My Eyes’ Boot CD surfaced with additional tunes, ‘Do Ya’. & ‘Couldn't I Just Tell You’…but no ‘The Wheel’. Then later, BBC broadcast all this combination of tracks and included 'The Wheel' again and‘Initiation’. Wish we had all the soundboard from this historic show, but it just hasn’t been found.

Audience tapes have their trouble from this age. But anyone who is familiar with the tape, will be stunned by this clean up job done by Istvan-complete show. And there can never be too many of these especially since Istvan has brought this one to life. |

SONS OF 1984. DO YA. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ON VICTORY. Note:Yep, 1975-10-12 Todd Rundgren's Utopia Congresgebouw Den Haag Netherlands Revisited. Probably one of my most favorite Live recordings of ANYBODY (and probably many of ya'lls too). Simply put, this one of the best audience recordings of the 70s. But basically, István tells me that it was actually recorded using a Mini UHER real to reel tape deck using headphones & a microphone. However it was recorded, it's very good. I just felt it needed a little 'something'. Recently...Again, I dug out the old cassettes which read; 'First Dub of István’s Master w/Clean Up Job'. Transferred them to digital, split the tracks, and I sent it all to one of the faithful old guys - Paul Russo (I won't get lengthy, but his pro re-mastering recognition is all over this Rare Audio Archive listing). Actually, on these rare old István tapes, the instrumentation (guitar, keyboards, bass & drums) has always been super clear & obvious here. So I asked Paul to bring out the vocals. I said, ‘Paul, 'Give Us Just One Victory. And It'll Be Alright'. What I got back, is much like a soundboard recording, or a 'Pre -FM'! So I just had to do another 'entry' here. THIS is nothing short of spectacular! ~ Warren BTW, my Dutch friend Dee tells me that the venue was called Het Congresgebouw in the city of The Hague (not Amsterdam). The Hague is sometimes called Den Haag. So I changed the titles to reflect that. |

I SAW THE LIGHT (CUTS OUT). Note:Another 'Holy Grail' find, done by the Lorenzo Brothers! A great audience recording, though an abbreviated one. This was a single MASTER tape (90 Min) that they trusted me to transfer. Maybe Utopia shared the Bill again with another Act, for we're missing a lot here for this Todd Rundgren's Utopian time period. The lack of a 'Vegas Style' Medley surely leads me to believe that (Or maybe they weren’t doing the Vegas Style Hits medley anymore at this point in ’75. I can’t remember). Even still, performed (but not recorded) would've have been at least some of these regulars': 'The Ikon (Excerpt)','#1 Lowest Common Denominator', 'Mr. Triscuits/Something's Coming', 'Heavy Metal Kids' and the encore usuals; 'Open My Eyes’, 'Sons of 1984', 'Do Ya', 'Couldn't I Just Tell You' and 'Just One Victory'. But they evidently had an Intermission, like they did with the 2 hour shows. However, it's still worthy of any Collector's Trophy shelf. Again, at this point Utopia was a four piece Band (Todd, Willie, Roger & Siegler). For in September, Moogy, Ralph & Kevin had left the Band. It's still always interesting to hear how wonderful Roger covers three pianists’ parts by himself. Thank you Rick & Geoff! MASTER Tape recorded with T-42 Sony Portable~ Warren |

Note:Another beauty from Rick Laurenzo's 'Bro'. Again, this is taken from the MASTER cassettes (2). This one has a different flavor to it though. It is not 'soundboardish' acoustics (as is most the other Geoff Recordings), for it may have been recorded a bit further from the stage. However, it is a very attractive recording. Clear and 'stable' sound. We get the entire show with the four piece Utopia (Todd, Roger, Willie & John). I also love it for the switch of 'The Last Ride' for 'Don't You Ever Learn'...And 'Black & White' (Todd introduces ‘Black & White’ as a brand new tune) replaces 'Technological Blues' (a Roger Powell piece). It doesn't break my heart that 'The Wheel' fades out. We do get pretty much the whole tune. The whole of side one of 'Initiation' is performed here as well. This is very rare, collectable and YOU'LL ENJOY. Worthy of burning to CDs for your listening pleasure too. And the wonderful thing is that there are much much Laurenzo Recordings to follow. Thank you Rick and Geoff! -Master Tapes recorded with T-42 Sony Portable-~Warren |

There's a helluvalot 'going on' next to Geoff's microphones here too (talking, yelling, clapping & microphone ‘bumps’). But it's a very much fun listen. I would have loved to have done some 'magic' to it, if just for the set list alone. At least we have Geoff’s very good 11/9/75 Northrop recording (which the set list is much like).

Note:Note:Was a pretty weak/muffled audience recording. Both Joe and Istvan took stabs at re-mixing these age old tapes. It's a real challenge to decide which 'job' is the best. Ain't that a great problem to have? A combination of the best out of both, really makes this a masterpiece. This show also includes an early version Black & White. So much thanks goes out to my buddies Istvan & Joe. Magicians!~ Warren *Note: I really screwed up the listing originally on this one for the vaults! I had listed it as 10/02/75 The Odeon Birmingham England and as Todd Rundgren’s Premier appearance in the UK. After much research, we find that it is, in fact, The Premier Theatre in Westburgh NY. And for that I sorely apologize to all involved. But their work on this show still stands as ‘stellar’. So Thank you Istvan & Joe Franks. How could I be so lame!? ~ Warren |

SONS OF 1984. DO YA. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU.JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:We have Jon Risen to thank for this version. He performed miracle surgery on this. Because my tapes of this are very low generation from the masters. And they are very muddy. How he made it sound this magnificent, I’ll never know. It is grand. Very soundboard like. Pro-grade. I'm thinking it's the second best of what we have from 1975 audience recordings (Den Haag being the best by far). Lots of 'Initiation' here...a complete version of fan favorite ‘Fair Warning’ starts off Disc Two. Some technical problems, with the 'synthetic receiver' Todd started using in 1975, throughout the last half of the show. But not annoying whatsoever. And when you hear ‘Heavy Metal Kids’ through ‘Just One Victory’ you’ll may be a little disappointed. They’re still good, but for some reason, the original tape recording is much muffled on these as opposed to the rest of the shows performances. Maybe the recorder had to conceal their device? These are not as strong as the rest of the tracks… but again, still pretty good here. At this point Utopia was a four piece Band (Todd, Willie, Roger & Siegler). In September, Moogy, Ralph. M.Frog & Kevin had left the Band. Interesting to hear how wonderful Roger covers three pianists’ parts by himself. Very soon after this show, they would record Disco Jets with Seigler, and then the "new Utopia" era would begin as Kasim would soon arrive on the scene (on a greyhound bus he took to Lake Hill from Staten Island).~ Warren |

Note:Very obsure Album, which extends the synthesized sound of Jean Yves Labat’s (M. Frog) 1973 ‘M. Frog’. It was recorded at Utopia Sound in Woodstock. Did Todd have any participation in it? We don’t know. Though it is full of mellow synthesized sounds a/o music, this a uncomfortable Album for me to sit and listen straight through the 33 Minutes. However, it is very interesting to sample it from time to time. It’s so eclectic and sounds like an experiment. Very thankful to Chis Razz for his copy though!~ Warren |

Good news is that we all know that the Silverdome is a humongous venue , yet this recording does not have that 'distance' sound to it. I did a low level dub to digital to relieve some of the loudness. Short set but full of energy. The crowd is estatic. A real Bicentenial celebration.~ Warren |

Note:This time it’s Central Park 1976. Evidence tells us this was a show originally scheduled on July 3rd...but rained out and rescheduled for the 6th. Todd loves the place and the place loves Todd. All these Central Park shows are absolute treasures for us. I digitally transferred the age old first generation (three sides) tapes and handed it all over to my buddy Joe Franks for editing. The value he added to this audience recording is amazing. Two hours of Utopia. Joe says, “It starts out with Communion, and I fixed up the beginning. But it's kind of weird at first. As we settle into Communion, sound quality starts to improve somewhat. Then Sunset Blvd and the tape starts to seem better, smile on my face....rock on!... We get a memorable intro into the first verse of LOTCM, then Seven Rays, where Willie forgets on the synth break. The vocals are pretty loud at times; also the crowd/claps have been another issue that I've fixed quite a bit. The Verb To Love is one of my old faves. The tape flip has been removed, and the edit… well… something crafty there. Then a band intro with ‘the brand-new-still' Kasim. He's been great so far...in Emergency Splashdown, there must be a complete band timing trip up in the 2nd chorus, however they get it together and the synth solo is cool. By this point, the show & the tape hit its real stride, and is enjoyable the rest of the way. Real Man has the 'ya-ya-yaa-ya' and woo-woo-woo-woo backing at the end ala '75. Initiation comes along, and all the sudden I levitate and float over the audience... not really, but it's that jamming- highlight of the tape for me. Stay for Mr. Triscuits-Something's Coming-Heavy Metal Kids-Jealousy...and another early Singring. The yap is only around at certain points, not too distracting. The taper just has tape enough for the encores, until there's a fade out at towards the end of JOV. The Trip is quite EPIC! I think the sound settles in. Outdoor rec's seem to be tougher sometimes. To me, it's an overall pretty solid audie...EQ'd/tracked/tweaked - here it is! “ This one is just plain ESSENTIAL. Thank you Joe! *2017-07-11 Update: Jon Risen took this one to another level for us recently . Says Jon, “ I EQ'd this, got rid of most of the hiss, and added some clarity to the high end”. Not that Joe’s version was not bad (in fact it's great), it needed just what ‘Mojorisen’ did to it. And a wonderful upgrade. Thank you Jon! ~ Warren |

EMERGENCY SPLASHDOWN. BLACK AND WHITE. THE WHEEL. INITIATION. REAL MAN. LANDMARK. DISC TWO: MR. TRISCUITS. SOMETHING'S COMING. HEAVY METAL KIDS. JEALOUSY. HIROSHIMA. SINGRING AND THE GLASS GUITAR. FREEDOM FIGHTERS. DO YA. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:This one will surprise you that it is an audience recording. Sounds very much like a Pre-FM or a soundboard. One of those classic shows that has circulated forever in trading circles. Our copy is from the master cassettes (from a fellow only known as Tapeboy) that surfaced in 1979. This is a grand recording, and probably the best live recording we have from 1976! Todd Rundgren’s Utopia didn’t tour as commercially in 1976 as previous years and at this point were introducing ‘RA” into their sets (which hadn’t been released yet), and Kasim was the ‘brand new’ addition. So Todd fans were probably a little bit surprised (and pleasantly) during these shows. They were to perform a month later at The Knebworth Festival (see entry below). And critics acclaim that it was one of the best performances of the Festival. And of course 1977 would be a momentous year and tour supporting RA for Utopia. So we don’t have many recordings from 1976 in our collection. This was digitally enhanced and cleaned by Paul Russo. This one will knock your socks off for sure! Full concert. ESSENTIAL~Warren |

It was in with my 1975 Cape Cod Arena discs. This audience has promise. It was amplified too much. Fixed that. Next we reduced the bass and some of the treble hiss. We just had to fix something, because the band is on fire here. Unfortunately these 6 performances are all we have. Man, we're missing so much. See the set list for 7/15/76 below.~ Warren |

JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Wow Oh wow wow! Some more 'magic' done by Rick Laurenzo's brother Geoff (as he was recording shows all over the Midwest it seems). This audience recording (Again the MASTER Tapes and never in circulation...until now) is once again, a brilliant one. Not a heck of a lot of editing on my part either. I believe we get the whole show. By this time, you know, they were just called Utopia (as opposed to Todd Rundgren's Utopia). And this was one of Kasim's first shows where he had replaced John Siegler. The fans at this show not only got to hear Kasim's wonderful accent to the band, but they hear some of the new album 'RA' before it had hit the shelves and they see the band all dressed in their Egyptian/'Eastern Intrigue' garb (but no Pyramid or Morris/the Sphinx Head yet). Some incredible harmonies here folks. I can go sit in the first few rows center. Because that's how close to the band this sounds. ESSENTIAL This competes squarely with any of the best recordings we have from 1976. 'Happenings Ten Years Time Ago' and a full version of 'Singring'! ~ Warren |

Note:Another Geoff Laurenzo audience recording beauty. It has its flaws though. There was a bass anomaly that just was a continuous sound of loud hum. So to remove the hum, it literally removes most of Kasim's bass. I did everything under the sun to make it work, but just could not. HOWEVER having said all that, the clarity of the other instruments and vocals are right up front like a soundboard recording. It is still an incredible listen! We get some very early 'RA' in 1976. And unfortunately, Geoff has long ago lost the first tape of this show, so all we get is: 'Singring', 'Freedom Fighters’, 'Do Ya' and 'Just One Victory'. BUT it's still well worth it! The music is powerful. Thanks once again to Geoff for sharing his MASTER tape for me to transfer.~ Warren |

Note:Another by Geoff Laurenzo. This one unfortunately suffers from some flaws. It's only one MASTER Cassette Tape and only about 50 minutes of the Show (They were on the Bill with Jethro Tull and some other acts). Very much Stadium/large open venue acoustics to it...possibly recorded a great distance from the stage and apparently a windy day in Kansas City for you can hear the wind blowing over the microphones throughout the short recording. It's hard to describe, for it's very much listenable. And some parts of the tunes are at a good level, but then the quality drops off. So this one goes in our collection just for posterity. A rare little collectors piece just the same. I mean....all these dozens of recordings by Geoff can't be perfect...chuckle chuck~ Warren |

JUST ONE VICTORY Note:Tony/Warren Notes: Another strike from the archive project, this excellent audience tape has almost no audience chatter and very clear sound. The tape was somewhat old, but still very deserving of the transfer due to the quality. The Band is tight and playing is strong and shows some evolution on the RA tracks… as compared to the 1977 Floor Show of Prog-rock props & costumes, Sphinx (‘Morris’) and Pyramid frame. Some distortion bleeps here and there (particularly Communion With The Sun), but not annoying. Crazy Lady Blue premier features as 'Be My Love'...with different lyrics ("...Shady Lady Blue"). Some tech problems during some songs- but the house acoustics are always good during 70s Japanese fan recordings. Pretty damn good old audience tape. We don't have much 1976 stuff. Put some head phones on for this one! |

Note:Todd Rundgren's Utopia Oxford Polythechnic Oxford England January 25 1977. I remember like yesterday; Atlanta's 96Rock-FM Broadcasting this one. I wasn't forewarned as usual, and couldn't catch grabbing it in time off the Radio with my Receiver. It's, to this day, one of my favorite Shows. So you can imagine my excitement when I found this Boot Vinyl at my Local Record Store. One of the first Boots of Todd that I bought in the very late 70s? And as always the case with Bootleggers; the Songs are usually misspelled ('Emergency Splashdown' is titled 'An Unreleased Cut'), and Track running order is different than the actual event (or they leave out something. Here they leave out the second song 'Love of The Common Man'). As I do with my old Todd vinyl Boots; I buy 2 (One To play & One to keep Virgin). So I ripped the unplayed one recently, to make a presentable CD. I still use My Brother's (RIP) trusty Technics Turntable. With new needle assembly. And it has a weight on the end of the arm that you can adjust for older vinyl if you need to silence 'run on' & 'run off' noise (and between tracks). You also can control to many different RPMs. I rip it directly through my Desktop using Adobe Audition. And Soundforge as a stand by editor. The result is 'super clean' phonics. As was this one. However, during 'Hiroshima' at about 1:38 in; "...Who Held The Button Under His Hand..." Repeats and it's not a skip from my turntable. Believe me. That's from the Bootlegger's source that they used. It just very sentimental nice to have this on my Trophy CD shelves now~ Warren |

Starting around maybe February of 1977, Utopia began using this pre-show music. Before the band started the opening number (‘Communion With The Sun’), they would play, over the PA system, the above numbers… warming up to the show in all its music, glory and theatrics. ‘Magic Dragon’ was presented first in a video on screen, and followed was rare & unreleased ‘Love Reunion’ (this track, was finally on Kaz’ s 2002 ‘Quid Pro Quo’ solo…where Utopia’s version appeared on the album). I found ‘Pipeline’ from Kevin Christian’s tapes of rarities (And it’s an ‘unreleased’ from the ‘Disco Jets’ project, I believe). ‘Sweet Little Suzie’, and the’ Instrumental’ track, are both from Utopia’s 1977-02-01 excellent audience recording, from the first night, at the New Victoria in London (I just removed the crowd noise). The unnamed instrumental is culled from Isao Tomita's treatment of a classical piece of music. Very rare then and very rare now. ESSENTIAL for serious collectors~ Warren |

Very interesting set list, each song fades in and out (by whoever dubbed it & tracked it).The sound is somewhat distant but still is listenable, and is important for it includes Love Reunion (in the pre-show video/music).

Then Death of Rock n Roll is in a strange slot, and is absolutely pedestrian - very slow -. May have been when it was first whipped back out with Kaz singing it...anyway-it is neat, and this is (as verified by Todd in banter) the last show of the spring warm up gigs. Yes,the sound is super. Complete as can be from the source himself. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Sweet Little Suzie quotes the melody from Hoi Polloi 3 years before it was recorded. An expanded hometown setlist compared to the Atlanta (below)..but Atlanta is better soundwise, and this one has some yap. But is nice due to the unobscured appearance of the intro tunes and the unlikely performance of Ikon & Emergency Splashdown..thanks again to Hiroshi~ Tony |

Note:This one's MASTERFUL! My third transfer from the (now mine) Todd Rundgren JEMS cassette collection. Labeled as the MASTER tape. And I believe that. I knew Jared (the Taper) briefly, before he passed away last year. This is probably one of the best (if not THE best) 70s audience recordings I have ever heard. By any Band. I use the term 'soundboardish' frequently, and this is as close to being a soundboard as you can imagine. If I didn't know, for a fact, that it is an audience recording: I would think this was a very good pre-FM capture or a board tape. It's that good. Kind of reminds me of the partial show 1977-01-26 Oxford England Broadcast by BBC/KBFH. I've had a copy of this audience show for decades, and my copy must be a several generation dub (or another source?). It is nothing compared to this sound and quality. So I'm proud to have this. You can put some headphones on. And while listening, it will take you to front row center of the Detroit Masonic Temple March 17th 1977. It even sounds as if you could be sitting beside Willie. His drums (and especially cymbals) are prominant here. It's the entire 157 minute show, with the full 30 minute Singring recorded... as well as an excellent capture of the PA system playing the 'RA Preamble'/Introductory music of: Magic Dragon Theatre (a video presentation), Love Reunion, Pipeline, Sweet Little Susie and an untitled Instrumental culled from Isao Tomita's treatment of a classical piece of music. Highlights? Every track is a 'highlight'! My treatment to it was simply making it stereo by Audition's Stereo Expander Tool. And try to repair all the 'slips, skips & spikes'. This is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for all serious Todd Collectors. I can't say more. ~ Warren |

It’s barely listenable, and thus we cannot edit it. It’s just not fixable, no matter how much we ‘shake, wiggle or dance’ it. Distortion throughout, and foremost the vocals PA System. There’s just too much distorted PA System captured here for that matter... the words are barely audible. Audience yelling and applause distorted as well. But we’ll keep it here in the Archives just the same. But that’s OK, for there’s several more of Geoff’s tapes that the acoustic are marvelous. AND I THANK HIM SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR THAT.

Note:This one here just for ‘listing purposes’ and it’s ‘historic record’. Another MASTERaudience recording by Geoff Laurenzo. One of the weaker of Geoff's 'grabs. I don't know that Geoff did such a bad job on this one though. I think it has a lot to do with the audience/fans are going nuts here, and the frenzy takes muchly away from the phonics. It is a 'keeper' though, and a we get the show in it's entirety. 2.7 Hours (2 full 90 minute side tapes).So we can really appreciate Geoff's efforts. The Pre-logue video sequence ('Magic Dragon Theatre'/'Love Reunion'/'Pipeline '78' and 'Sweet Little Suzie') are barely recognizable however. We couldn't do much other than work on pitch, some of the levels and Split tracks though out this show. 'It is what it is'. Worthy of note here is that we get the full 'Singring' and a very very extended performance of 'Eternal Love'...again, with a full compliment of surprise instrumentals (Todd on Sax for one).We'll work on this one some more at a later date, for we still have a Box of Geoff's MASTERS to go through. Could we have a better problem?....chuckle chuck~ Warren |

Note:Another audience capture from Rick Laurenzo's MASTERS (2 cassettes/4 sides). But this one is hard to figure. The sound is none to good on most tracks, but some they are fair. It is very listenable. From all the audible commotion at the beginning of the first tape, it sounds a if there was some audience rowdiness that delayed the show and aborted the the first tune 'Communion With The Sun'. So we'll keep this one in the 'vaults' just for posterity, and 'listing purposes' only. There was not much that I could do with it.... for there are far too many peaks and valleys throughout and the right channel was almost non existant. Having said all that, there's some songs from this 'RA' period either weren't performed or aborted. Missing (in order) That I know of would be: 'Communion With The Sun', 'When The Shit Hits The Fan starts prematurely....and the last two numbers : 'Utopia' and 'Just One Victory' are missing. I'd like to thank Geoff for his hardship to record this anyway! From what i mention at the beginning of this entry, it's hard to tell what the announcer is saying, what Todd is saying and what appears to be Geoff saying something about objects being thrown in the 13th row. O Well. So I guess this is still a rarity right? 119 Minutes of show.~ Warren |

UTOPIA. JUST ONE VICTORY. BONUS: POST SHOW INTERVIEW IN THE BLUE ROOM AT THE FAMOUS FOX THEATRE(17 MINS) Note:*Tony said (in 2003),"This is a very strong audience recording with little to zero yap. Jealousy is real strong and the jazz/acid tinged Eternal Love center section has a lot of trippy echo on it... and the tune is over ten minutes long...at the old Fox Theatre. Gave Warren credit for the recording on a Sony compact cassette recorder/player. How it surfaced in Japan he/we do not know! Hiroshi transfered it to digital. Thanks my friends~ Tony" I decided to get out my MASTER and see what 'area beautification' I could do to it. I always felt it held so much promise (though be it recorded with my primitive Sony Walkman TC-D4)...that maybe it just needed a tweak here and there. With some more Adobe Audition under my belt, I made some drastic changes. First and foremost, I corrected the speed/tempo. Then I added what Audition calls 'Stereo Separation'. With the unique Graphic Equalizer (and they have a great one, with as many bands as you need) I brought the vocals more out front. And when I did that it, it made the instrumentation sharper. There's a few other tweaks but (and I'm not bragging), what I came out with was much 'soundboard' like phonics without clipping with the decibels. And Audition has a feature for that too with their 'Master Gain'. My finished product, I am much proud of. Thanks to several batteries and as many as necessary blank cassettes, I caught the whole show, without any tape flip gaps. Everybody next to me behaved as well, Hardly any yap. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:The age old date and venue information that we have is contradicting on this one. Istvan and I have been trying to add some history & timelines up on it. And have come to the likely conclusion that this is possibly a show that was rescheduled (Boston Orpheum May 7th was rescheduled to May 17th) to be a first show at The Palladium in New York on May 7th. The second show being on May 8th (see entry below). For we have copies of ticket stubs to reflect some of this. The biggest key to the confusion is; This is a KBFH recording, and they have two different presentations of it. One on Radio DJ presentation >'KBFH Promotion Spot for July 31 1977', listing it as 'The Palladium' (with 'Communion With The Sun'/'The Last Ride'/'Jealousy' & 'Couldn't I just Tell You') and another on official CD release 'King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Todd Rundgren Live' (Concert Series # BO4YNEY), listing it as 'Schaffer (mispelled) Music Festival' (with 'The Last Ride'/'Eastern Intrigue'/'Love of the Common Man' & 'Couldn't I Just Tell You'). And then Jon Risen's KBFH version of it has an additional 'The Ikon'/'Freedom Fighters'! It makes sense to us that this is the first night of two (May 7 & 8 1977) at the Palladium in New York on May 7th 1977. Right or wrong, it is wonderful to have worked with Istvan on this, and we have now 8 performances of excellent soundboard from this show.~ Warren |

Yes, I took this directly from his MASTER audience cassettes and did no editing other than level a little & split tracks. It's that good. This ones from the 2nd night at the Palladium in New York City, and we have a good portion of this show in my 'Archives' of a great FM Broadcast (Soundboard) provided by Frank Bubnick. But this...THIS is an audience grab that is as close to a soundboard as you can get. A very few miniscure flaws and some talking. Sure we're missing alittle bit (see below) of the show here, but that's alright by me. What a job Geoff, and THANK YOU! ESSENTIAL~ Warren Probably missing all the preshow 'hoopla' Intro: 'Love Reunion','Pipeline'and 'Sweet Little Suzie'. And as maybe the end/encore numbers: 'Utopia' (Theme), 'Couldn't I Just Tell You' and 'Just One Victory'. But not recorded. Ya’ll would still love this up.

We've had a decent version of this tape for decades that we inadvertently gave credit to Brian Tapp (in another post here) for some reason. This was recorded by Jared (RIP) with JEMS. Again it's his MASTER. So I killed that old post from 5 years ago.(and I apologize to Joe Franks , because he did his usual 'magic; to the mess that I gave him. It was this show, but several copies/generations old. (I'll save his version for those who are still inclined to have it). Soooo... this my fourth installment from the (now mine) Todd Rundgren JEMS cassette collection. Another MASTER tape(s) by Jared (RIP) And this one is 8 months later at the same venue. The band introduces much 'Oops Wrong Planet' here this time. Released in September of 1977 (RA was released in February). So what they did for these new 'Oops' shows was, darken the 'RA' props (The Pyramid and Morris the Sphinx head.) And appeared in blue jeans and tshirts and no chrome Ankh guitars. They played much of the new 'Oops' album in this fashion. Then a brief intermission, and they came back out with the 'Eastern Intrigue' outfits and the 'RA' set in all it's effects , lights and glory. And played a couple of the 'RA' standouts and other killer songs. This sounds very much quality-wise as the first Masonic '77 show. Yes that's right. Except, with a little more audience yap here. It sounds like a 'board Tape! And the Band is on fire! So I'm proud to share this with you. Put some headphones on. And while listening, again, it will take you to front row center of the Detroit Masonic Temple October 16 1977. The whole thing is up front and in your face. I believe It's the entire 130 minute show, with the full 30 minute Singring recorded. Again, my treatment to it was, simply making it stereo by Audition's Stereo Expander Tool. And try to repair all the 'slips, cuts, skips & spikes'(which there were many). This one too is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for all serious Todd Collectors. I can't say more. ~ Warren Recorded With Advent Dynamic Microphones > Sony Tc-153sd Cassette Recorder |

Note:Another from Geoff Laurenzo's 'goodie bag' of MASTER audience recordings. But this one records off kind of wierd. The 'Oops Wrong Planet' set quality is weak. But the set afterwards is brilliant for the most part (from 'Communion With The Sun' and onward). As all of you know, on the 'Oops' leg of the 1977 Tour; the Band comes out in blue jeans and T-shirts to do most the new album. Then there was a brief intermission. And then they come out to perform with the Eyptian 'RA' Theatrics with The custom instruments, Middle-eastern garb, 'Morris' the laser Sphinx head...and the Pyramid and light show in all it's glory (as they did at the beginning of the year's Tour). Welllllll....in the 'Oops' set of this recording, there is lots of chatter and the it sounds 'distant'. But then again the rest of it is wonderful. But don't get me wrong, you'll love this recording. And I think it is rare and ESSENTIAL for your 'Collection shelf.~ Warren And thanks so much to the those Laurenzo Brothers! I think we get the whole show here with the exception of The Intro Music (The 'Utopia Bolero') and three tunes 'cut in' short. (They did sneak in 'My Angel' in some shows in October & November 1977 However) |

Note:Another nice one (audience) from Geoff Laurenzo. Unfortunately this one is a small part of the show, for he inadvertently recorded something over much of it. It's strange, because we have very few 'uninterupted' good audience 'Oops Wrong Planet' Shows. For the confusion of the 'Oop Wrong Planet' set at the beginning of these shows threw tapers off (and with the length of 'Singring' made it tough to grab on 90 minute cassettes). But that OK, what we have from Geoff here is very nice. Willie's feature 'Gangrene' is a little weak and 'Singring' is a puzzle to put together...but again the rest is nice. I figure that we're missing (in order performed): The Intro, Trapped, Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Abandon City, Love of The Common man, Back On The Street, Black & White, Crazy Lady Blue, Love In Action, The Death of Rock and Roll, Intermission music (Overture: Mountain Top and Sunrise), Communion With The Sun, When The Shit Hits The Fan/Sunset Blvd./Le Feel Internacional and The Last Ride.

Then a TTD member, propylaen, took it one step further by "chapterizing and normalizing Hans' tracks and did some other minor editing (removed a few pops, made the between song edits less jarring by getting the volume levels closer to each track)." So what we have here is a excellent sounding historic record! ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

TODD & ROGER INTERVIEW
Note:Todd talks about the concept/length of his first solo Projects. And in every interview pretty much, he talks about that his solo projects are what he's feeling musically at time, and not necessarily mainstream. Roger talks about his Solo work, when he worked for Aarp, and how he met Todd, and how he joined Utopia. They both talk about the current Theatrical Show. The Pyramid, and how the Title 'Oops Wrong Planet' came about. The Interviewer seems to want to talk mainly about Todd. |

That was the system that utilized microphones mounted on a pair of headphones. The intention was to record live events in the same manner that humans heard them. The CD's were mastered by Sandra Winters from the original tapes recorded by Laine Harris. The binaural effect is very cool. It works very well with headphones or speakers placed very closely together. Sounds like the crowd surrounds you. Much of the sound was captured directly off of the stage. Sound quality is pretty good, it's the binaural effect that really kicks on this one. Awesome 'Oops ' set" |

But these recordings of Geoff Laurenzo's MASTERS are very much worthy of any serious Todd rarities collector's shelf. And this one is good. REAL good. A very 'soundboardish'(is that a word?) capture of a very electric night. In fact a New Years Eve night, that takes us into 1978. The Band is Pro-tight and sounds like they're enjoying themselves quite a bit. At some points Cleveland comes 'unglued'! I think we're missing 'My Angel'... and a small beginning portion of 'Seven Rays'and a very small portion of 'Singring' due to tapers 'flip'. But for the most part, it's all here. Sure, I had to use my editing prowess again, but minimally. The instruments are clear and the vocals are up front and in your face. So you could put some headphones on (and a party hat) and go sit in a seat what must be near the front of the theatre. Cause ya gotta figure Richfield Coliseum was huge! And you would turn it up! YOU WILL ENJOY THIS ONE~ Warren P.S. Once again, I'd like to reach out to the Laurenzo Bros. and thank them for taking us through the seventies with all these great audience tapings (for what seems all over the Mid-Western US). And don't ya'll fret 'cause there's a few more. So stay tuned. |

She later did a second album (Hi)Liner notes show recorded in London, Nashville & Bearsville. She also appears performing with band in the 'infamous' 1977 Bearsville Picnic Video (Old Grey Whistle). A very different Kind of a Country, Blues type of act. Acoustic Bass – Bob Boucher. Acoustic Guitar – Billy Sanford. Bass – Bob Boucher, Ian Hampton, Mick Hodgkinson, Mike Leech. Drums – Dave Lewis, Kenny Buttrey, Malcolm Mortimore. Guitar – Elizabeth Barraclough, Smoke Abingdon, Mick Hodgkinson, Todd Rundgren. Harmonica – Paul Butterfield. Keyboards – Mick Hodgkinson. One reviewer wrote, "I had never previously heard of Elizabeth, and bought the album mainly on the basis of the supporting cast. It was released on Bearsville Records so naturally involves Todd Rundgren, but others include The Band's producer John Simon, harmonica legend Paul Butterfield and crack Nashville session players like Charlie McCoy and Kenny Buttrey. It was produced by Albert Grossman, Dylan's former manager and owner of Bearsville, with sleeve notes by Jim Rooney, who went on to produce Nanci Griffith and others. It also has one of the most unflattering photos imaginable on the front cover - it makes her look like a grumpy trucker". Listed here just for posterity....Only for the Todd die-hard extreme for sure~ Warren |

Note:Don't really know why I include this in the Archives. I guess because of the Super Stars involved! Story goes that Todd was in Woodstock and just joined in the 'Jam'. He did not have any Production involvement. But some stuff is pretty cool. Especially Randy Van Warmer's'Just When I Need You Most'(sung by Ian). Here's an 'overblown' Shockwavemagazine Review of the re-release Record Store Day Album. Calling it 'Corky Lang's POMPEII"!: Corky Laing’s Pompeii: The Secret Sessions: Let’s take a trip back to the late 70s, which was a turbulent time for musical tastes. Punk was just beginning to surface and it replaced the increasingly complacent era of glam and classic rock. Therefore, Bands like Mountain and Mott the Hoople were now the old guard and kids no longer cared. Corky Laing, drummer for the legendary rock band Mountain and founder of supergroup Pompeii says, “In this environment, my record company Elektra/Asylum was preparing to bail on me, but before doing so, they asked if I wanted to form a so-called ‘Supergroup.’ I had no choice, and so began the journey into The Secret Sessions. The Secret Sessions is their long lost album and features Corky Laing, Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson, Felix Pappalardi, Dickey Betts, Leslie West, Todd Rundgren, John Sebastian and Eric Clapton and is set for release on Record Store Day – April 21, 2018. The album opens with a classic sound in the shape of “Easy Money.” It shows off infectious dark lines which manoeuvre their way around the verses, while the piano punches through. “The Best Thing” is up next and this number shines through. Furthermore, it makes you smile from cheek to cheek. It’s a track full of love and soaring guitars, which consequently vamp it up. “I Ain’t No Angel” is straight to the point with funk filled grooves and mesmerising tones. It definitely isn’t no angel. “I Hate Dancin” follows and is funky from the seams inward. It makes you want to move your body without a second thought as the power of the song takes control. “The Outsider” tells a tale which draws you in with every word. Imagine the wind and sun blasting on your face while crushing guitars bring a gritty, raw sound to the mix. “Silent Movie” is soulful and you can feel it deep throughout while the harmonica sets the track perfectly. “Growin’ Old With Rock & Roll” is full of feeling, drums, rhythm and blues. It really captures the essence of growing old with something you love. “On My Way To Georgia” gets things going with the drumbeat while electronic bongos add an additional vibe to this southern groove. “Just When I Needed You Most” is beautiful and enchanting. It will have you fixated after just one listen. “Lowdown Freedom” is upbeat and rock & roll guitars keep the flavor sweet. It is foot tapping good from start to finish. Bonus tracks “Easy Money,” “Silent Movie” and “Growin’ Old With Rock & Roll” have been re-recorded with Corky’s current solo band consisting of Chris Shutters and Mark Mikel, bringing a fresh sound to these classic tracks. The album closes with new track “Knock Me Over,” and it knocks you over with euphoric guitars and a modern twist. Corky Laing’s Pompeii: The Secret Sessions is something very special indeed and leaves you with taste for more.

An extension of Jean Yves Labat’s (Formerly know as M. Frog) 1976 Album ‘Underwater Electronic Music’. Only ’U.S.A.’ and ‘Transition #1’ do not appear on fore-mentioned Album. Basically just two new tracks. A gamut from synthijazz to the usual electronic mysterioso- cosmic space stuff - all of it competent but way too innovative. If you're an electronic music freak, however, you might enjoy it~ Warren |

Note:This appears in an entry here solely for listing purposes. This unreleased Album only appears on the 2001 OFFICIAL CRCL-7707/08 Nippon Crown (Japan) Todd Archive Series Vol 4 ‘Demos & Lost Albums’. For Todd is all over it. 8 of the Tracks written by Todd & performed by Utopia & Labat. In the Liner notes, Todd says, “I don’t remember much about it. I encouraged Jean Yves Labat to take advantage of the punk rock craze, and let him use my studio to work out his concept. I also talked him into wearing a frog costume, strapping a synthesizer & batteries to his back, and going out on the streets to perform, which he did about twice.” And here appears the group performance of Fan favorite - The Mysterians' ’96 Tears’ for the first & only time. Unlike any Album that Labat does, this one is rock & Roll. “Demos & Lost Albums,’ of course, is filled of Collectors Items. And I believe Todd released it just for the Fan. That is an entry for another day. Thank you Todd!~ Warren |

Note:What a great fun relaxed show to groove to. The source is the low generation tape we got from long time Toddhead Brian Welsh. The WNEW crew does a good job of explaining the tour, but calls Kazim a former member and says Moogy is the only Utopia member in the band (not true at all- Willie wise). Dust In The Wind sung by Moogy nicely. Bread- some balance vol wise. Problems as on the Midnight Special version occurs here. But Todd really nails the leads. A very strange version of Verb to Love where it started way too fast, and never gets back to the correct speed.. Rick derringer on Soul Medley & Sloopy. This is a long standing classic that sounds great.~ Tony ESSENTIAL |

Note:A wonderful and very rare audience recording by Gil! He recorded it, he transferred it, and he tweaked it, and shared it with us. Thank you Gil! Gil says, “This is a pretty decent audience capture from Night 1 Show 2 of the week-long run at The Roxy in May of 1978; in other words show #2 of 14. The Roxy is a small room so the sound is very listenable, not the best recording by a long shot but still well worth the download. This is also a special show to me because of the 90+ Todd shows I've seen....this was the very first time I saw TR live. All that said, here are the shortcomings: -It starts with LOTCM, meaning Real Man and IWHMAD are both missing . -there is a tape flip during Black Maria, and another during The Last Ride (this was actually a 9 second dropout which I cut out) -Determination is missing the first half of the song -the recording ends after the 2nd encore LITA, meaning the third encore CIJTY is missing, as well as a 4th encore half an hour later when Todd, having showered and changed, came out and played A Dream Goes On Forever at the piano to get the 50 or so of us who wouldn't leave to go home so the club could close. So now you know. This is from my 1st gen cassette. Nothing on this set appears on BTTB; nothing on this set appears on Another Side Of Roxy; nothing on this set appears on the Lack Of Honest Work box set. Never Never Land from this show is on the bootleg vinyl EP "Rundgren Comes Alive", but that is certainly not an official release so this recording is safe to share. (As a side note, of the 6 shows from NYC and LA that I have excluding the 5/23 FM broadcast, only The Last Ride from 5/21/78 late appears on BTTB "according to my ears"). “ 1st Gen Maxell UD-XII-->Audacity (Speed Correction, Tracking)-->Wav-->Flac (Level 8) |

We're missing much here due to silent gaps on the tape (probably due to the fact that the taper only had one tape and these shows definitely needed two). So many songs are partial. And we're missing 'A Dream Goes On Forever' (after The Verb "To Love") & 'Couldn't I Just Tell You' (after Initiation). But this Tape I finally found, in the Archives here, is magnificent quality & ESSENTIAL~ Warren Gil's note: I just restored this to its proper speed and re-tracked it, otherwise it's unchanged in its original glory.

This one is a incredible quality audience recording that surfaced recently by Mike Millard. And we thank him, ‘cause this is good. REAL good. It has Moogy performing 'Dust In The Wind' (as opposed to Todd being featured). And The Hello people are very much featured on two tunes). As mentioned above, ‘Don’t You Ever learn’ has some problems due to tape flaw. But all in all, this one is absolutel history. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Wolfman Jack adorns this classic from the Back To The Bars recording show series in LA. Some high end strangeness results from the microwave method, but still sounds great for a 78 show. "...I can feel it microwaving all over the country..."~ Todd. Stevie nicks (probably thru Fishkin) added to the usual participants as well as- Spencer Davis harp on Range War (the BTTB version was this show for sure). Black Maria as well. Hall & Oates guest on Sometimes I Dont Know...She's Gone is good as well. Many sections where the Hello People do the 50s style station IDs during the program. Lotsa fun. Another classic."...For those of you at home; my guitar just got a round of applause..."~ Todd. These taped versions were recorded via TEAC cassette recorder directly off (96Rock FM Atlanta)the live feed Radio Broadcast that night (Station/IDs & all) Unfortunately this has been co-opted for profit by bootleggers around the globe.~ Warren ESSENTIAL |

The cover reads 'Complete Show', but our wonderful version is COMPLETE with the Hello People doing Station IDs (very much Complete!).It also says it's 'Re-mastered', so it's nice to have for it's 'cleanliness' and awesome artwork and liner note/photo inserts.

They were direct from the guy that actually made them that supposedly was some sort of a TV from out in LA. That's all we know. . What's neat is the Band comes out after 'Just One Victory' and does a solely instrumental 'Just One Victory' Finale. Awsome and ESSENTIAL if just for that.

Note: Did a 'needle drop' on my Boot CLEAR Vinyl 'Death of Rock'n Roll'. Came out wonderfully. There is barely audible hiss during quieter moments but that's not the Vinyl. That is the FM Broadcast. This is actually parts of the FM Broadcast of 1978-08-12 The Place Seattle WA. Just nine Tracks (a few with funny Titles), and they're in scattered order; as opposed to following the FM order of appearance. Still, this a super rare Boot and fun to have, in digital, for historic record (and make a CD of it for my shelves). We have the whole FM Show here in our Archives in a seperate Entry.~ Warren |

BONUS:(CUTS IN) JUST ONE VICTORY - ACTUALLY FROM 1978-08-19 EARLY SHOW. Note:This is a special one. One of the audience recordings that we thought was lost and gone from our (My & Tony's) vaults forever. But recently, my Atlanta buddy Allen Law provided me again with this brilliant recording, by Karl Speck, of another show from Todd's 'stand' at the Agora Ballroom Atlanta (August 18, 19 & 20 1978). I was at all these dates (early & late shows) and this was an incredible 'Back To The Bars' series. All Todd Rundgren events in Atlanta were sold out in the seventies (and still are to date), so the performances were always almost note perfect and tight...As you'll hear from all these tunes. Unfortunately, 'Can We Still Be Friends' has a tape skip about 2:52 in. I remember Todd's new girlfriend Karen Darvin doing a Ballerina accompaniment. It was a strange surprise...because you figure that 'Hermit' had just come out (April), and we hadn't seen the Midnight Special video of this one yet. Todd kids us about the applause Karen gets, by referring to the wooden slab that she danced on for her number. ‘You Cried Wolf' was new to us too with Todd on Drums.When I heard about 'Back To The Bars' to be released in December I had hoped some of these shows would make an appearance on the double lp. For I think they were much worthy. All performances are good here. It's hard to pick out any one tune in particular to focus on. ESSENTIAL ~ Warren |

Note:This was acquired from John Pellerito, but we think this is another audience capture by Mike Strickland. Once again, great (seemingly annual) August event for Todd at the Wollman Rink. Not so bad on the yap factor for being an NYC crowd. And the sound is pretty good for an outdoor audience recording...presents the usual BTTB set with Utopia- you can tell the band is up for it and the taper apparently was up close. An ESSENTIAL historic record~ Tony |

HELLO IT’S ME.JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:*Update on this one: This one JEMS just threw into the batch of the dozens of Todd Tapes for the heck of it. It's not grand but very decent. It from the age old stereo simulcast of the '78 Agora. Which I don't think is in circulation anywhere, because it was a local broadcast. JEMS tells me some youngster caught it live over his Technec stereo system. (Reciever with FM reception). The tapes themselves are original. But they're so old that I had to 'reshell' both tapes. It sounds as if he did some editing via dual cassette deck. There's some micro second cuts between some of the tracks as if there may have been some commercials or pause for station ID at points that he edited out. Archaic but it worked out. And there's some songs that sound as if 'noise reduction'(NR) was applied. This is all assumption. But for the most part it all streams pretty seamlessly. And most songs sound pretty good. All I did was split the tracks. And Istvan did some 'magic'to The Seven Rays (which was the weakest track out of the bunch). Like I said; I don't think this whole show audio is available in many places so it's rare and 'a keeper' And I think it's ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

HELLO IT'S ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Long Story: For years I’ve been trying to find somebody/anybody who had a GOOD complete version of the WWMS FM (Local Ohio FM and/or TV Broadcast) 1978-08-23 Agora Cleveland OH. Don’t get me wrong; we have bits and pieces of quality Audio (but not the whole show). I must have four or five versions of complete audio and video, but nothing grand. And the JEMS guys were helpful with a little bit of really good parts and pieces of Pro-grade stuff. I mean we have so much Bottom Line & Roxy trophies. Why not Agora Cleveland? You may have it, but the Archives didn’t. My search was fruitless. And I just plain gave up asking and looking. THEN, get this: I’m in a Used and Sell Local Record Store a few days ago… And they had the OH BOY! CD boot ‘Cleveland Rocks’. However, I had been warned (forever) that it was just a copy of much of ‘Back To The Bars’. And the OH BOY! Track listing on the Product tells me such. What the hell, I bought it for $5.00. Just for collection/posterity reasons. Even the Discs read ‘Cleveland’ with supposed 11 tracks on each. So what the fudge, I gave them a listen. But Disc One showed 11 tracks and Disc Two has only 7. As I’m listening… I’m thinking… damn, this is a great Boot! Then I realized, almost immediately, I was listening to 1978-08-23 Agora Cleveland OH! Son of a beeyatch! I know Todd’s banter in between songs for this Show too. So I know what I got. “…Is This Eden Oklahoma? No It’s Cleveland Ohio!...”. Now I’m happy. Like I said, ya’ll may have a great version, and didn’t tell me. But the Archives did not. The Show IS the 1978-08-23 Agora Cleveland OH complete for the most part. There are some barely noticeable hiccups, skips (especially ‘Abandon City’), humming, peak amplitude spikes and weird Track splits (maybe WWMS-FM did that). But the Performance is all in order. No fade ins & fade outs. And no complete/total clipping out amplitutude as with most CDs. This is absolutely ESSENTIAL!~ Warren |

PLEASE LET ME GO (BLACK MARIA) Note:The crazy 70s Boot vinyl, that most of us oldtimers have, that is obviously the product of someone who doesn't know shit about Todd. The titles are funny. The record has the encyclopedia of rock listing for Todd and gang and the "Another Live" inside shot on front. It also says 3/29/49! This is not Todds Bday, so we dont know what thats about. Probably comes from the same place "Philadelphia" or "Funky Detroit Madness" did. Nevertheless, this is a classic and long overdue addition to the Todd stash.~ Tony |

This was the last show of the tour before Todd went to Europe with the Tubes to generate excitement about the upcoming Remote Control recording sessions. Very low generation (1st gen?). Roger really eats it up on this one, great solos on Abandon City and Seven Rays. This also may be the only time time Todd has ever referred to himself as the "Runt" (before You Cried Wolf).~ Tony |

It's Jared's audience recording MASTER Tape. Whole Show. And I think is pretty good quality. A little muddy. I basically split the tracks and played with the levels a little. I don't want to be on the radar again from sharing 1978 shows by the Rundgren Organization, but what the hell. I have few more from Jared. Mostly Late Shows for two nights at the Royal Oak in Detroit in'78. Do me a favor, and believe me - you don't have to, but keep these close to your vest. No global circulation please. ~ Warren P.S. The band is not on fire as usual here. I don't know what it is. Tell me what you think. Was this just a 'let's do this gig at get out of here'? Even Todd's banter sounds like he tired. Small crowd left for this Late show too...sounds like. When I did the Atlanta shows they herded us out like cattle if we didn't have second show tickets.

I tried to re-eq some (to good effect) to add to the archive project. The sound is clear, but sounds to me as if it there was a large limiter somewhere in the process. It gets markedly (its not really ever that bad) better after Death of R-n-R. This is an "in stride" performance from the band at their peak (in my opinion). Because of the gig schedule, I dont think the band ever again played as well as they did on this tour with this material, etc. Here is a very good (but old) line recording that serves up a couple of ass whippin versions Black & White and Initiation... just to show everyone how its supposed to be played, and to remind everyone that Utopia WAS THE best live performing band of that era- gig after gig- night after night.~ Tony |

It sounds great like all the 78 Bcasts do... missing probably a tune or two from the show. Nice on the artwork. Evidently, this is part of series of illegal shows for sale- they probably all sound good (as this one is excellent), but I have absolutely nothing to do with it.~ Tony |

That is a local radio broadcast of the first set that night. THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT audience recording (MASTER Tape) of the second Show by Geoff Laurenzo. I know that I use the term 'soundboardish' a lot... but this a 'pro-grade' recording. What's funny is this was an old dirty broken cassette Geoff had just recently relocated. And asked me to see what I could do with it. I did have to put it in a new cassette shell. A labor of love, for I had to do little to this one other than leveling the channels and splitting the tracks. All performances are flawless, unfortunately we only get a small portion of the show due to only one tape. And Geoff had inadvertently recorded over some of it with other artists. But I'm very excited about what we have here and being able to share this 'Back To The Bars' Era recording. This one is ESSENTIAL. Thank you Geoff Laurenzo for 'striking' once again with a collectors gem!You can even listen to it featured in it's entirety on RundgrenRadio ~ Warren |

His MASTER Tapes). And very unlike Jared's other recordings, these suffer much. Both recorded from a distance it seems. Royal Oak Theatre seats 1700 and Jared must have been further to the back maybe (which makes for a lot of audience interference)? I've spent hours trying to edit these and bring some life into them really to no avail. Just not much can be done to improve the quality. I guess they are what they are. So these presentations are just 4 long tack (two each). Side A and Side B of both tapes. No track splitting.Having said all that, they are very listenable.

DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. YOU CRIED WOLF. GANGRENE. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. BLACK MARIA. CD TWO: EASTERN INTRIGUE. INITIATION. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. FM OUTRO. Note:I did this '78 DC show because my friends were there. The Bayou is gone now, and it was a great performance. The sound is good, but not perfect due to a noisy line coming from the radio station but it is FM and is actually quite good for the most part. From my small hometown of Keyser WV, we packed the place with close to 50 of the crew... but not me... I heard the show at home due to an important college assignment. I can hear my name called out when Todd talks about the broadcast, and can hear friends I know/knew to this day. What a trip. Roger really has a terrific soloing night, as he did often in these days-the dueling solos on Oops shows was what this band was all about. The effort Todd gives vocally was always there..not even on a bad night could you ever say Todd wasnt trying in these days..the band always left it on the stage with effort. Kazim hits a peak on Verb and Initiation (playing wise). Gangrene is a mess as usual during what Todd called " a pointless ego trip to prove why we play what we do"... This switching of instruments would soon end. Another great thing about this is the post show; where it is revealed all shows are sold out for days to come. The energy is high, as said above; and the usual kick of Initiation into CIJTY is higher than normal octane. Todd talks about the his Papal wishes weirdly in connection with a Dream Goes On Forever... and the crowd chants "thai stick" before Black Maria.~ Tony |

I don't think anybody (traders) even knew it was 'out there. It is the LAST Show of 1978 (Dec 31st at Uptown Chicago postponed due to a blizzard)! This age old cassette needed all kinds of channel corrections... that I think were on the Fan's 'recording equipment side'(how can somebody screw up a FM recording?). It's 'unscrewed' now! We're missing 'Real Man'... and 'It Wouldn't have Made Any Difference' jumps right in, and is alittle on the rough side. I did some speed correction to it all and just wee bit of re-mastering this thing. I didn't want to do too much, as to preserve the integrity of the recording (I left the 'Station ID' in). There's a slight hum that I could not get out of Side A. Hardly noticeable. I think it's from the Radio Station's Equipment. Having said all that; this FM now sounds pretty damn good! Seems we're missing 'Just One Victory' too, but I love all tunes that were captured. And I love Todd's humorous 'banter' here. I'm very very happy with how this Show turned out and I think that it is ESSENTIAL!~ Warren |

Also included extra live tracks in Tokyo broadcasted FM in Jan 1988 in excellent quality. This set was released in late Sept 1995 made in Japan, maybe.” |

Some problems appear from someone on a CB or other source interfering occasionally onto the Broadcast line..Sound is worth it. We also have an Hiroshi version which has a WNEW interview (w/Robert Klien)and a KBFH post show interview bonuses. Hiroshi's sounds as great as ever, but still the CB stuff does show up on last few tunes...I love what Todd did here, and it was historic, but the version of 'Johnny B Goode' is hard to take with the flange sound guitar...Utopia was a bit too tech savvy to be rolling in Chuck Berry mud.....great job from Hiroshi - really an important event in Todd history and it sounds better than ever.~ Tony |

IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE.DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL.GANGRENE.CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS.BLACK MARIA.HANG ON SLOOPY. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU.HELLO IT'S ME.JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Recently recieved this cassette for a friend in New York. Seems he recorded this from a FM Broadcast live only in New York. This is fantastic. The Late Show of the February 16 1979 Utopia "Indochinesse Benefit Concert'. The entire show soundboard. Utopia at their finest in 1979. Derringer of course guested on both shows (Early and Late). Again he comes out here for "Hang On Sloopy" and the rest of the set. Here's a great synopsis/review that I found: "The set kicks off with a triple dose of standout songs from that fourth Utopia album, beginning with the hard rocking progressive power-pop of "Trapped" and "Love In Action," followed by the more funk influenced "Abandoned City." The next two numbers, "Love Of The Common Man," from Rundgren's 1976 LP Faithful and "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference," from Something/Anything, display the catchy melodic pop at the heart of Rundgren's best work. Although Rundgren often played every instrument, sang, engineered, and produced much of his earlier material, Utopia prove themselves more than capable of bringing these highly evocative songs to life onstage, and throughout this performance, the musicianship is top-notch. A pair of hard driving rockers is up next, with "The Death Of Rock And Roll" from Utopia's 1975 album, Initiation, followed by "Gangrene," another number from Oops! Wrong Planet.While "Gangrene" is a rather silly and undistinguished exercise, "The Death Of Rock And Roll" is a pile driver that addresses critical rejection and features fine musicianship, particularly from bassist Kasim Sulton. The group next returns to the catchy melodic pop of "Can We Still Be Friends," the hit from Rundgren's solo album the previous year, Hermit Of Mink Hollow. The musicians next cruise into a vamp, while Rundgren delivers a sarcastic Zappa-esque intro monologue to the blazing blues-based "Black Maria," featuring Rundgren's most sizzling and demented guitar work of the evening. This is a tour-de-force performance, and Rundgren further delights the audience by bringing out guitar-slinger Rick Derringer to join in for the remainder of the set. Derringer plugs in and immediately rips into a sizzling solo to make sure his equipment is working and then the entire band launches into the "Louie, Louie" influenced hit by Derringer's mid-1960s band the McCoys, "Hang On Sloopy." This is an infectious delight that, despite its inherent simplicity, has the group cranking away and features plenty of Derringer's blazing fretwork. Rundgren asks Derringer to stay and help out on the conclusion to the set, which he does, as the musicians soar into the proto-power pop of "Couldn't I Just Tell You," another classic from Something/Anything. This leaves the New York City audience howling for an encore. When Rundgren and Utopia return to the stage, they give the audience exactly what they want, performing two of Rundgren's most memorable melodies, first with the heart-wrenching pop ballad "Hello It's Me" and wrapping things up with the evocative anthem-like "Just One Victory," from 1973's "A Wizard, A True Star"." ESSENTIAL as is all these Palladium Recordings~ Warren |

COULDN’T I JUST TELL YOU - WITH RICK DERRINGER.HELLO IT’S ME.JUST ONE VICTORY (CUTS OUT). Note:Another chunk of splendor from Geoff Laurenzo (Master audience Recording of course). Yes, Sure we have a couple of FM versions (Early & Late Shows) of this one in the 'trading circulation'. But this audience recording has a bit more and is damn near just as good. This is from the Late Show, but it began in the wee morning hours (you can hear Todd at one point here say 2:30). The David Johansen part is a little hard to swallow, and Patti Smith's very odd rendition of the old THEM tune "GLORIA" rambles on and on. The only drawback at all from this recording is "Abandon City" has it's weaknesses...'warbles' here and there and "Just One Victory" cuts out near the end. But this things very strong. New York goes crazy between tunes and it is very rare and ESSENTIAL. So much thanks again to Geoff and Rick Laurenzo! ~ Warren |

Note:Jon did a grand job of digitalizing this for me. Audience tapings pick up two main things: The PA System of course, and each musicians sound floor monitor. The thing with Japan is that the crowds are not uproarious and generally ‘well behaved’ (is that the right word?) so the musicians don’t have to have their floor monitors blasting back at them. As is this case. The performance is excellently captured but the vocals sound distant and ‘concert hallish’. But all in all, the entire band is flawless here and on fire. And I thank Jon so much for his magic. Perfect. And I’ll say the same about Osaska Show (4/11/79) below. These are beautiful shows. ~ Warren Probably missing on another Cassette? ‘Love Alone,’ ‘Eastern Intrigue’, ‘Initiation’, ‘Couldn't I Just Tell You’, ‘Hello It's Me’, and ‘Just One Victory’ |

Note:This one is tremendous, and we don’t have much from 1979. I believe that it was a FM Broadcast only in Japan. So the recording is not in wide circulation. I believe Hiroshi had some association with these 1979 Japan shows. So basically, this is just for listing purposes only; for it has been released officially on The Castle/Sanctuary Records label ‘ Todd Rundgren Bootleg Archives’. In a couple of variations. Individual 2 CD Package (as mine was) and with the ‘Last of the New Wave Riders 7 CD Compilation Box Set(4 Shows) CMXBX735. I got mine as a bargain bin item LC6448 Double CD (by Sanctuary) ‘Todd Rundgren Bootleg Archives: Live in Japan ‘79 Vol.2’.

Note:We don't have much from 1979. So, I pulled this rare age old tape from the vaults, and just basically dubbed (digital transfer) it from the cassette (no EQ)... split the tracks. Short Pre-Adventures show fan recorded at the Roxy in Los Angeles. We all remember the famous 1978 'stand' at the Roxy, so I thought I'd check this one out. Most of us have the excellent Old Waldorf (soundboard) show from San Francisco a few days later. And Passaic NJ & Landmark Syracuse soundboards at the end of the year. So, this audience recording is really no comparison. Not great, but believe me this is not bad at all! Very much a keeper for us collectors. They played two shows this day and this is the second set. The only tune missing here that they did perform during this show, is the encore 'Just one Victory'. I think you all will appreciate this recording! ~Warren *Update 2013-10-02: Hiroshi has reached into his vaults and supplied us with an obviously lower generation copy of this audience tape. Much improved! In addition, Hiroshi also has the Early Show audience recording. See below entry. Thank you Buddy! |

And Hiroshi not only provided us with an obviously lower generation cassette than mine (much improved sound) of the late show, but he also had this one (the Early Show) to share. Now we have audience recordings of both shows from that evening. All I did was split the tracks, so much thanks to Hiroshi for sharing again from his collection and doing all the hard stuff. You need to have both of these shows. You won’t be disappointed. Utopia played two sets each evening of a one week stand (April 17th – 25th 1979) at The Roxy~ Warren |

Note:Roger's screaming keys will take you on a trip, Kaz kicks out some incredible Bass (& lead Guitar), with great improvisational licks, and beautiful vocals, Todd's chops are right on, as are his ever magnificent vocals and Willie kicks ass and keeps it all together. Yes they used open air microphones so there is a lot of crowd noise, and witnesses account that there was A LOT of acid floating around ("Anybody out here still do acid?", Todd asks). There is a pretty rough version of this in circulation. But this a somebody's excellent cassette here in the Archives. I had to do a lot of editing to amplitude (db) levels.'Love is The Answer' has some sort of hiss that I couldn't rid. I guess it just 'is what it is'. But I really enjoy this (not as great as Landmark, of course)! Especially an awsome Medley of 'The Ikon' and 'The Seven Rays'!~ Warren. |

Super vocal on Verb to Love...Todd does not same the forthcoming album is imminent like he did in summer 79 or later....Ikon is a bit shakey- Kazim is cut off during his solo, but smoking...Todd jokes about the size of the audience...one real oddity is Freedom Fighters....this was a very good performance, thanks that someone had the foresight to tape (one of the Tubes???- We'll never know...........)But honestly folks, I had never earmarked Knebworth as super performance... but no doubt it was. They ruled there...confident and strident as can be...~ Tony |

Note:Some new Pro-grade video from YouTube by MDA ('Love Is The Answer') has been posted recently, and encouraged me to pull out my old videos of this Telethon. I was also encouraged to 'pull the audio off' each video, and do some editing and enhancement...and replace the soundtrack on each of these. I very pleased with my results. Here my enhanced audio tracks. 'Last of The New Wave Riders', and the All Star Jam of 'Money' and 'Jumping Jack Flash' are my old videos from VHS (But sound wonderful now). All Utopia here. The All Star Jam ('Money' & 'Jumping Jack Flash'); Musicians are: Utopia (main bnd & voc), Bill Wyman (bass)/Ringo Starr (dr)/Kiki Dee (bvoc) /Dave Mason (gtr, voc)/Doug Kershaw (fiddle)/Joanne ?(bvoc)/John Harris (keyb) ~ Warren |

THE LAST RIDE (LAST PORTION).ROAD TO UTOPIA.LOVE ALONE.GANGRENE.ROCK LOVE.BLACK MARIA ('SMEARS' ABOUT 2 MINS IN).THE DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL.LOVE IN ACTION.FREEDOM FIGHTERS. Note:This one we’ll just chalk up as one for posterity. It’s one of Geoff Laurenzo’s audience recordings (MASTER), but not one of the better ones. It’s a pretty rough recording… that is listenable (and a fun listen), but only for us diehards. Utopia is right on the money performance-wise here, but this seems recorded from a distance, yet a lot of bass distortion. Black Maria has some tape flaws and starts a long ‘smear’ about 2 minutes in. It’s nice to hear The Mysterians ’96 Tears’ which they added to their set in the Fall/Winter leg of 1979 along with The Who’s ‘Anytime Anywhere Anyhow’ (as we can hear in some of our 1979 recordings in the Archives here). This recording (one tape) ends with ‘Freedom Fighters’, but I think we are missing ‘Couldn't I Just Tell You’, ‘Anyway Anyhow Anywhere’, Love Is The Answer’ & ‘Just One Victory’. Much thanks to Geoff though, for sharing his Master Tape for me to transfer.Just one of Geoff's many bits of Todd History from 1974 to 1985!~ Warren |

Note:This is a ‘tapers master’ cassette that Frank Bubnick gave me. I don’t know why nobody has transferred it to digital before, because it is an incredible audience recording. And we don’t have a lot from 1979. I just dubbed it ‘as is’. No EQ or anything. Just split the tracks and here it is. Wonderful performance. Notice before ‘Love of the Common Man’, that Todd says that it’s their last show of a ‘gala fall tour’ that they were doing? But we know that Utopia did more shows after this one in 1979. Anyway, we get the ‘gifts’ of ‘96 tears’ and ‘Anyway Anyhow Anywhere’ like we know they did at the November Tarrytown and Syracuse shows. And Todd is in great humor here between tunes. Listen to his ‘thai stick’ story before Black Maria’. ESSENTIAL!~ Warren |

ROCK LOVE.BLACK MARIA.THE DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. LOVE IN ACTION.COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. Note:Another Geoff Laurenzo Audience recording (MASTER) The best I can do. I guess it just is what it is. Kind of bumpy, but very listenable. And I'm satisfied with what I could do with it. It all started off much distorted. When you remove distorted Bass though, it increases treble. And basically that's what you have here. But yes, it is now 'satisfiable'...is the word I believe I used. Had to work a long time on this one. Two tapes. The first one, let’s say, is very very loud high levels and bass distortion. It’s ragged. REAL ragged. Pretty much the whole show--- ‘Last of The New Wave Riders’ thru ‘Couldn’t I just Tell You’ (missing probably ‘Love is The Answer’, ‘Anyway Anyhow Anywhere’ and ‘Just One Victory’)---. The second tape seems it’s the very same recording, only with decent level/volume. HOWEVER, most of it is recorded over. So I can only salvage ‘Last of The New Wave Riders’, ‘Back On The Street’, ‘Love of the Common Man’, ‘Caravan’ and ‘The Last Ride’. What I did was: Use the tunes off the second tape, do a lot of editing. Then get the rest from the distorted tape and suppress and edit it the best I can. And sew it all together. It’s by no means great. But I think it will be very listenable, and at least satisfiable (is that a word?) It’s just that the Band is so great for this show. And there was some promise to it all. Some specific notes: Todd's microphone goes out for all of 'Love of The Common Man', '96 Tears' is very hard to just listen to, and 'Caravan' has what sounds like flying saucer ('Must be the Russians' is what my Dad used to always say), approaching at times chuckle... chuckle...The Laurenzo Brothers like it is the important part~ Warren |

Again the Interview wants to talk to Todd and his Productions and his eclectic recording. But the talk does go to the Band, and allot of fun stuff about 'Disco Jets'.

Note:We have two age old cassettes of this. They suffer muchly. One even reads: 'Sh.t Copy' on the Track Label. And they both are horrid. The Announcers parts are just fine, so it leads me to believe that it was WMMS FM's Broadcast error and not the Recorder. Every tune had a different problem: Either hardly any amplitude at all, or no lows/bass or minute complete drops in sound. Having said all that, I thought it had some sort of promise. So we went to work on each track with a different edit. With hours of editing. I cannot believe how well it turned out. I'm proud to say the least. A couple of Tracks were unmanageable and left out: 'The Last Ride' (which would've been 8th Track) and The lengthy 'Encore Applause' (after 'Couldn't I Just Tell You') and the Applause before 'Just one Victory. In fact the Applause is out of sorts in a few places, so omitted. I left Track 13 'Black Maria' (rough) here for some reason, but you can get an idea of how bad the phonics were on this tape. But the Band kicked ass here and so does the finished show~ Warren |

ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY Note:This fabulous T Storm transfer captures the Utopia on a bunch of covers and Todd songs. This odd pairing was an attempt for Warner Bros to try to revive Shawn's career out of the kiddie pop into a more rock sound. I remember being stunned at hearing Todd involvement. He made some weird choices at this new height of Utopia's ('80 Adventures) popularity (this and Deface within a few months?). I like the songs, but I really think that at times the music sounds like synthy plastic rock and Shawn really sounds strange at places. Many believe this was an important work for Todd and co. Personally, I think the playing is similar to the perfomances on the Froggy Pumpkin sessions... except for more synth and Shawn just doesnt carry his weight on these covers. And notice Todd's choices on covers include tunes he's played before... very well done and for those who want to decide for yourself. It has been released on (very hard to find) CD however...if you search on-line hard enough.~ Tony |

Note:Another Geoff Laurenzo audience recording installment from his Master Tapes. Though a little rough (from a Mono Sony T-42 Walkman) and much audience yells and distraction near the mics, this came out pretty decent after much editing. Some tracks come off better than others (such as the extended 'Medley' portion). We believe we get pretty much the whole show (though short) with the exception of Emergency Splashdown (due to Tape flip/change). And the setlist is a little different than what we were accustomed to in April and May of 1980 (see the shows below). So it’s a rare one and well worth the fun listen.

BONUS: 5/10/80 TODD & ROGER INTERVIEW SAN FRANCISCO KFRC FM (*see notes below) Note:This is one that was recorded for later broadcast and was truncated slightly for rebroadcast. This set sounds great and is recommended for sure. ESSENTIAL~ Warren *In reference to the above Bonus interview piece, our good buddy Don Bauer had this to awesome story to add!:”That is an interview that I produced along with my friend Christopher Lindsley. The interviewer's voice you hear is that of Chris. He worked for an excellent AM radio station here in S.F. at the time -- KFRC. He worked there as an intern for awhile, and eventually got a gig helping Dr. Don Rose (a legendary morning AM DJ at the time) as a jack-of-all-trades during his morning shift (get coffee, grabs records, etc.). Chris worked his connections from within the radio station to land this interview with Todd (and Roger as it turned out), with some incessant pushing by me, of course. So that weekend when Utopia was in town, they agreed to do an interview! So on a quiet Sunday early afternoon we went downtown to the radio station to do the interview, not knowing what to expect. They showed up, and thus I got to meet Todd (for the 2nd or 3rd time). We started rolling tape, and I had this whole list of questions that made it clear that I knew more than just a little about Todd and Utopia. Todd was particularly surprised about how well 'researched' we were with the questions, and they opened up and were quite expansive. What was supposed to be a short 1/2 hour or less interview, (not on the air, by the way, recorded to reel-to-reel) quickly turned into over an hour long. Unfortunately, the union engineer who was there for that shift wandered off and never changed reels we found out afterward, so we lost much of the 2nd half of the interview. But we talked about Utopia's interest in TV & video, how they wanted to land a TV show and television in general (and how bad it was at the time). And a whole host of topics. Thusly, only about 45 seconds of that interview was used and aired on KFRC, just a ‘quick hit’, canned and played between songs for a few days shortly thereafter.”~ Don B. |

The crowd goes wild from beginning to end. Some observations: Todd seems to emphasize the Utopia thing- says LOTCM is "not on any Utopia LP", calls Willie 'White Trash' Wilcox, use of motorcycle drum kit sounds like crap... despite Todd claims on the Bonus Interview. Talks of conservation of energy. - Bolero nice, but seemed to be a yawn for the crowd... Still not full sounding on Emergency Splashdown. Never forget the issue of Rock Love..when this songs came out, some of us were incensed that Todd would pander to disco beats...hey this was record burning time. Anyhow - this is good. It truly was a high water mark for the band - who would soon finish the tour - and then make a decision to release the Beatleish DEface The Music (which, like the LP or not, desroyed most of the momentum gained for Utopia from 78-80), of which this show must be the documented peak. Sound is not perfect, but good FM quality and only has a couple of mins of phase... and some of the Interview is single channeled but from the same night. ESSENTIAL~ Tony |

It wasn’t a live stream, for the ‘Bolero Interlude’ is missing. And some of the performances fade out and into the next one at places. But, the quality/sound is excellent. It's funny because the Nickelodeon Broadcast has some performances that the DVD does not and vice versa. But this is all the audio from the June 5th 1980 show for history sake. So it was difficult matching the levels for the two videos soundtracks. You can find/buy the DVD through Scott at TRBAZAAR. ?~ Warren |

Note:Here is one of the only Broadcasts from one of the tour's very last gigs. It is edited well for back in the day. The sound is older, and there were probs with a balanced sound. There is talk of who shot JR - hit singles Very Last Time (nice version) and Set Me Free. Gangrene has Willie's customary intro...I guess what is super about this set is the performance. Energy conservation. Last Ride is superb. Trapped gets outta sync in a place (a rare major screw up)-the first set generally is spirited and brisk. Chris Anderson is interviewed, at the intermission, about the technology involved in the show. This set includes my favorite ever performance of Bag lady- Cliche is brisk but delicate. We find out it turns out that Willie shot JR. At the end of set a psych-phased echo comes into your ears. The medley is there, but cuts at Seven Rays- bummer- on the bonus interview, Todd sounds a bit depressed. Could have been the period of time he referred to later (that he needed healing).~ Tony |

Note:Geoff Laurenzo audience recording (MASTER Tape). Here's another 'the best I can do' with this one. It's hard to describe. It’s very likeable…most of it. Again, it's not a fanciful recording. But I think it's very much a keeper. Distant 'concert hallish' acoustics for the most part. Some tunes sound great, and then again, some not so good. And lot's of 'spikes ‘that I tried to bring down (microphone 'smacks', sudden volume distortion...and the young lady... who must've been right next to Geoff, screams stuff at times). We’re probably missing (not on tapes): ‘Love Alone’, Most of ‘Todd’s Acoustic Solo Medley’, ‘Utopia Medley’ (Communion With The Sun/ Ikon/The Seven Rays/Singring/ Initiation/Utopia Theme) and ‘Love Is The Answer’. Unless this was some sort of shortened set. In these ‘Adventures’ sets, the band really delivers. And night after night after night. It nice to have just another piece of this historic record. So thanks again Geoff! ~ Warren |

TAPE TWO: ROAD TO UTOPIA.CARAVAN.SET ME FREE.LOVE THE COMMON MAN.THE LAST RIDE.COMMUNION WITH THE SUN.(SOUND CHECK) PARTS OF BOLERO & DRUM SOLO/ONE WORLD/LOVE IN ACTION. Note: This first tape (audience recording) by Geoff, is just not good. We'll just save it here in the vaults for posterity reasons. I think that Geoff's Sony T-42 portable cassette tape recorder had just suffered much through recording dozens & dozens of Todd Rundgren shows since 1974. Again, though the band’s performance is tight, the first tapes quality is maybe listenable at best. Then it is strange, but the second tape is the same show (though very partial), and the quality is fair. And very interesting enough Geoff had stage passes and was allowed to witness the soundcheck (which he recorded as well here on this second tape). And what I thinkis great is he captured 'One World' rehearsed. The first time Todd offered us 'One World' was during October 1980 'Run' with Ian Hunter ('John Anderson For President' Tour). So this recording is damn rare. So I repeat (sorry) this tape two, 60 minute TDK, has much better phonics to it, after some adjustments. Still pretty rough. Missing a lot of the rest of the show. The last part of Side B starts off (very bumpy) with what I thought was 'Bolero'. But then it has a lengthy drum solo and 'One World' just kind of kicks off… followed by 'Love In Action'. So both these tapes are very worthy of ‘collectble’.~ Warren |

LAST OF THE NEW WAVE RIDERS. SECOND SET:BOLERO INTERLUDE. ROCK LOVE. SANDS OF ARAKIS. EMERGENCY SPLASHDOWN. LOVE ALONE. BABY, DON'T HOLD ME BACK. Note:We've had this cassette in the vaults forever it seems. Can't believe we haven't transferred to digital until now (along with the next days show on the 9th...see entry below). We thank Joe Franks for his 'magic' with equalizing out this one. Because with the exception of audience yap (which is always the case with New York audience tapings), this is a great recording of one of Todd's (a/o Utopia's) traditional/annual historic appearances at Wollman Rink in Central Park. As most of you know these 1980 Utopia shows were two sets. The first set with the band wearing 80's rock n' roll garb and then the second set (seperated by the intrumental 'Bolero') the band comes out in the infamous matching white futuristic jump suits. And the last portion of 'Bolero', we get to hear Todd on a short Sax solo, Kaz on clarinet and Roger of course on horn. However, We're missing much of the last portion of the show, including '(Willie's Solo) Somethings Coming', 'It Wouldn't have made Any Difference', 'Can We Still Be Friends', ' A Dream Goes On Forever', 'Hello It's Me', ‘Cliche’, Segment Medley of: ‘ Communion With The Sun/The Ikon/Singring And The Glass Guitar/Initiation/Utopia Theme’, ‘ Couldn't I Just Tell You’ & ‘ Love Is The Answer’. Again, these two shows were historic. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Notice that they did not perform ‘Love Is The Answer’, as they did on the 9th as an encore. But the sound is good and we have the entire show now. ESSENTIAL. Like I said; HISTORY~Warren |

IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE/CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS/A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER/HELLO IT'S ME (CROWD CUTS). Note:Like the above entry (the August 8th Show), we've had this cassette in the vaults forever it seems. And we just now have digitalized it to CD(s). This audience recording is not as great as the 8th, but still captures history and essential to have. It's heavy on the 'bass' side and so much more audience noise (mostly from whoever was sitting next to the taper). And seems to have been captured further from the stage than the 8th show. Thanks to Joe Franks, this is still very much a good sound, enjoyable and fun collector's trophy. Both shows get to focus a on the individual band members in second set. Each have their solos which display shear talent. But you all know that. And if I'm not mistaken this is the show which also was video fan filmed. And there are some pretty good copies of that floating around 'out there' in our trading circle. I believe Roger Steel has the best copy (of the video) that I have seen.~ Warren |

Though a lot of New York crowd chatter, Great sound and it’s an incredible set. Incredible Venue for Todd 1973 to 1980. This is the last time Todd appears at Central Park. Park residents complaining about the noise level closed the Wollman Rink from concerts. Todd (and other artists) then focused on Pier 84 for outdoor New York shows.THIS IS ESSENTIAL~Warren |

Note:This one just in to me from a very generous fellow only known as 'Elegymart'. This one, though partial, is super rare and not in circulation anywhere (6:30 Early Show from August 9 1980).Recorded by Gene Poole, who is now known for his vast number of rare New York Recording. This one was a toughy, it had some 'Synthesized Noise" that I had to adjust. Then I brought the highlights up front (mostly vocals). This is now an awesome representation of one of these historic Shows. However. as Central Park is, or all New York Shows for that matter, audiences that are very yappy, noisy and roudy. With the exception of the first Track, and though it's a partial Show it’s ESSENTIAL. Thank you Gene Poole and 'elegymart'! ~ Warren Recording Lineage:Recorded by Gene Poole; FLAC master, 22 September 2020, by elegymart: Analog audience recording (mono) {recorded by Gene Poole}: unknown mics/recorder > 1979-81 US/European TDK D90 (Type I Normal) analog audio cassette master {from the Gene Poole collection} > Sony TC-WE435 (azimuth adjustment) > Roland R05 (24/96) > Cool Edit Pro 2.0 (audio cleanup, convert to 16/44) > SHNtool (fixed SBE) > CD Wave (track splits) > TLH (WAV > FLAC8). |

Missing/not recorded: Why Is Love Such A Sacrifice I Don't Want To Go Home Havin' A Party Trapped Again Note: A guy I only know as 'Peter' contacted me about my TRConnection CD-R List. He says he was one of the soundboard technicians for WLIR 'Party In The Park II' at Belmont Raceway Elmont NY on August 23 1980. He clarified me about the YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW7xQNvFCzk. He says that the Joan Jett stuff is from the 1981 'Party in the Park III' at Fireman's Memorial Park Log Island/Hempstead. And that the rest is from the 1980 'Party In The Park II'. He went on to tell me that Rick Derringer was not the 'Host' of the 'Party In The Parks', but only one of the 'main billings'. He's dissapointed about one of his main soundboard tapes from the 1980 making it out into the Bootleg world as 'Rick Derringer Party In The Park' (see for example: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/unauth/rick_derringer/party_in_the_park/). He says that Todd came on the stage immediately following Derringer. That much I knew, for we have Todd's performance in the Archives' Having said all that, he says he's not familiar with the 1981-09-13 'Rick Derringer & Friends at the Palladium, New York for WLIR-FM was not involved in that. But he asked for a copy of it in MP3s. Which I did... and in exchange he sent me the whole soundboard of 'Party In The Park II'! All 5 hours and 36 minutes of it in one big WAV! The artists performances on it are (in appearance order): The Good Rats, Flo & Eddie, Blotto, Pure Prairie League, Rick Derringer, Todd, Al DiMeola, David Bromberg and Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes. This is as good as it gets folks! WOW! Thank you 'Peter'. Whoever & wherever you are~ Warren |

My buddy Dan and I drove all day from LA, only to be initially turned away at the doo rbecause I was not yet 21 (see ticket - no minors!). After (not very much) pleading and explaining that we had driven 500 miles for the show, the bouncer let us in. The core combo was Todd and Tubes: Prairie Prince, Rick Anderson and Vince Wellnick. I chatted a bit with Bill Spooner in the crowd before the show, so his guest turn wasnot a huge surprise. Fee Waybill (and, I think, Mike Cotten) joined in at the very end for the Who medley. Todd stated the previous night that Compassion was gettingits premiere, so this show marked the 2nd performance of that song (in F, on solo piano). The Band format was: 4-piece band (1st 4 songs), solo piano (5 songs), 2 songs solo on acoustic guitar, Sputnik (Introduced only as Juan Tyrone) joining the combo to sing 3 songs, 3 songs as a quartet and then 'everyone' joining in for the medley. 'Just One Victory' was with the 4-piece. This is not the best recording by any stretch, but what can I say? It's a one-off special (OK, a two-off), and I was there! BTW, We drove back all night to LA with a faulty alternator, stopping every 2 hours to charge the battery for an hour, but made it back by dawn so Dan could go to work! Good times...enjoy all!"~ Gil Ireland-Ashley Gil transferred this age old cassette for me. It started out as a very rough recording, but I thought some of it 'had promise'. And I edited the best I could. Side B (Disc Two) was extremely distorted and I could not do anything with the Sputnik piece or the fee Waybill 'Who' piece. I guess they just 'are what they are'. Almost annoying. The rest of the show I think I restored nicely. I think that this is the best this is gonna get. We already have a good copy of the first Night (1980-10-03) from Frank Bubnick. So this completes the history and we thank you Gil!~ Warren |

They talk about the reasons behind their Presidential Benefits. Todd mentions a baby due in November. They also take callers from the Ohio area. Then they mention that they play the the Agora Cleveland this night. They clarify all the dates that they will play and have played. So, I'll will correct dates. Seems they played The Agora Akron on Oct 19th and the the Agora Cleveland on Oct 20th. |

Sound distorts some at the end, and this is only missing LIA from the original tape. Contents? Crazy Lady Blue is nice, One World (sky on the floor version). Distortion present on last tune, LIA was cut due to this. This is not stellar but it is listenable and decent. Real strong audie here. The New Years stuff, Utopia Theme...if you were there.........~ Tony |

Note:Another Geoff Laurenzo audience recording (from his Master Tapes). This turned out pretty good I think. It took a lot of 'toying' with. Some songs came out wonderful. Geoff is pleased with it so that’s all I care about, ‘Warren, I just downloaded this. I just listened to several songs on the pc. I agree it's pretty good. I can hear definition on vocals and instruments. Some of it was great, very clear, and the other parts I heard were still good. Don't have time tonight to hear it all, and need to burn it to cd for the stereo system. They all have sounded better there. I think other fans may like this one. ‘ Actually 22 Tracks. I couldn't patch 'Crazy Lady Blue' together. Too much of a 'gap' (Tape flip). So both parts appear hear as separate. During recording on the Second Tape Side B, seems Geoff had to conceal the recorder from security. So ‘Couldn’t I Just Tell You’, ‘Love Is The Answer & ‘Just One Victory’ were very muffled. I recovered them back fairly well, but they still suffer much and 'Just One Victory' stutters real bad near the end (Todd's guitar solo). This is ESSENTIAL just the same. Lot's of the 'il-acclaimed' 'Swing To The Right Here' (and a couple of Todd's solo 'Healing' tunes), and as we all know the Band was clad in military camouflage outfits for the Politics & war theme. I won't critique this, for I'm not particularly fond of 'Swing To The Right'(with the exception of'One World' & 'Lysistrata). Strange, there is no 'Lysistrata' here. Bearsville disliked it (‘Swing To The Right’) so much that they delayed release of the album until 1982.~ Warren |

For newly uncovered versions are showing up as of recent. There were two shows played this evening (April 3 1981) and Jon Risen has shared with us the entire...virtually complete...second show's video. So we have dubbed the soundtrack from that. And my buddy Geoff Laurenzo (audience) recorded the complete first show. So all this will be listed here. This particular piece (above) is the entire old KBFH LP (excluding commercials) transferred with great results. Some very slight surface noise, but a great high volume transfer. This show was also professionally filmed for the 'Camoflauge' video (TV presentation and official DVD release; "Utopia Live At The Royal Oak". A classic. Sound is good. And just a few of the film's audio missing pieces are included here too. It was all puzzled together with the live FM radio broadcast (Warren).Ya gotta love the pre-intro story to Lysistrata... priceless. The DVD is available on-line retail through the Toddstore or Amazon, just to name a few and through Scott at TRBAZAAR . A good buy. So please check out my other entries here.~ Warren |

Note:Another very cool audience MASTER tape recording by my buddy Geoff Laurenzo. But having said that; these two tapes of the show have some severe physical condition problems (which can be expected after 35 Years). They were a mess. No matter what player I am using, or what software- unfortunate spike/click anomalies are throughout. Adobe Audition in particular seems to be very temperamental. So if you are an extreme audiophile, using your graphics spectrum analyzers or any other nyquist prompts (or whatever YOU people deem to call it), then don't bother analyzing these recordings. For the tracks have more mostly inaudible spikes & static than an extraterrestrial communication, and more wrinkles that a 2000 year old mummy. There are just some things that are out of our hands. Some tracks are channel changing messes (in particular ‘Love of The Common Man’ has two or three skips…’Feel to Good is ‘all over the place’ and encore ‘Couldn’t I Just tell You’ is pretty shakey. But a helluvalot of this is great, with some surprises. I have pretty good hearing, excellent stereo equipment, and excellent headphones. And as for mentioned, the errors are mostly inaudible to the human ear. But, very visible on visual graphs and analytical boards. So, everybody would enjoy this transfer. Geoff loves it.... and that's what matters to me. For this very rare historic record is the first evening show of infamous 1981-04-03 The Royal Oak Music Theatre Detroit MI. Show. (Which is not to be confused with the second show which was recorded for the KBFH **see in my other entries**(and Jon Risen has found us the video of the ENTIRE last show that Evening...and thank you Jon for that!) Much of what I have done here, is good (dayamn good).For the most part, if you can get past the knicks, skips and scratches; this is super rare and collectable and an extremely enjoyable show recording. Just enjoy it (and you will) for what it is. It’s so very rare and ESSENTIAL and one for the trophy shelf. And thanks once again to the ever faithful Geoff! You know it's funny with the lack of any glorious colored lighting for these show. They're mostly just white 'limelight'. Geoff says, 'It was a bit odd, as they had bright lights on (for video) that illuminated the front half of the theater. And Karen with baby Rex. It was a different dynamic. I remember being riveted just the same.' ~ Warren |

I didn't even know it was 'out there', so this is a real treat. A extremely good recording, with the full set for us, from the Spring of 1981, where the band was introducing us to 'Swing to the Right' and 'Healer'. Of course, this was commonly known among fans as the 'Camouflage' tour. This taping has some humming and some distortion. These flaws are much evident during the first few tunes, but the phonics improves muchly over the course of the 106 mins. I keep finding myself forgetting that this tape is 32 years old. We can say so much about this show. The band was tight and very high polished here for the Chicago crowd (as was the case for the whole tour). Audience chatter is not overwhelming either. The beauty is that we have much recorded history from Chicago (then and now). Much thanks to Hiroshi!~ Warren |

So I take the best of the two tweeks and it makes for one fine recording (except the opener,One World, which I think was hopeless to repair). Eye witness evidence points to this date being in April of 1981. |

Notes: This show was one of the premeire coast to coast broadcasts that this great band did - this was while the 'Swing To The Right' album was being held up for contract negotiations (eventually involving Todd as well). The next product would see a label change. This show revealed that despite how low on the priority Utopia was worth Bearsville, the tunes held up well... and the band still kicked ass live as this attests to. They performed to a small house too. Well known harcore Todd Fan/ex-Todd Roadie/our Pal/guitarist Joe Megna was there!It was broadcast/hosted by WAAF 107.3 FM Worchester, yet Warren recorded it as it was fed live that night on his 96Rock FM Atlanta.~ Tony |

THE UP (DUE TO CHANNEL ADJUSTMENT: FIRST 30 SECONDS IS MONO).LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. CLICHÉ.ALWAYS LATE.THE VERY LAST TIME. Note:This one just in to me, as well, from a very generous fellow only known as 'Elegymart'. This Show, though partial, is super rare and not in circulation anywhere. I do see however, that 'Elegymart' has posted all three Shows he sent me on Traders Den now. Recorded by Gene Poole, who is now known for his vast number of rare New York Recordings. This one was another toughy, it had some 'Synthesized Noise" that I had to adjust. Then I brought the highlights up front (mostly vocals). And on "The Up' the right channels first 30 seconds were very distorted, so I adjusted that (but those 30 seconds are mono). This is now an awesome representation of one of Utopia historic Shows. For all Central Park Concerts were closed now, because of neighborhoods nearby complaining of a noise factor. So the Dr. Pepper Music Festival (formerly Schaefer) was moved to Pier 16 (in the South Street Seaport). However as Central Park was, or all New York Shows for that matter, audiences that are very yappy, noisy and rowdy. There is loud audience throughout every tune here. But Utopia's performance is clear and brilliant. And The Band is tight. We could very well be missing; Lysistrata, Back On The Street, Time Heals , Healer, Compassion, Shot In The Dark, Caravan, Love In Action, Last Of The New Wave Riders, Couldn't I Just Tell You, Love Is The Answer & Just One Victory. But ESSENTIAL. And Thank You Gene Poole and 'Elegymart'! ~ Warren Recording Lineage: FLAC master, 22 September 2020, by elegymart: Analog audience recording (stereo) {recorded by Gene Poole}: unknown mics/recorder > 1980-81 US/European FUJI FX-II (Type II CrO2) 90-minute analog audio cassette master {from the Gene Poole collection} > Sony TC-WE435 (azimuth adjustment) > Roland R05 (24/96) > Cool Edit Pro 2.0 (audio cleanup, convert to 16/44) > SHNtool (fixed SBE) > CD Wave (track splits) > TLH (WAV > FLAC8). |

Note:Another 1981 audience recording from the ever faithful Geoff Laurenzo. It's good but not great. Recorded from a distance it seems at times. Another struggle to get the distortion out of the second tape. Pretty much for the die hard collector. But rare and very much listenable just the same. A very different set here, and a very long show (unless this is portions of two sets like Utopia had just performed on April 3rd in Detroit). I've never heard 'Just One Victory' appear in the middle of a set either.Some of the tracks came out wonderful however. Though a good portion are a mixture of high and low levels, and some I just did the best I could to roll off severe bass or trebles. As Royal Oak showed us; Utopia was performing pretty much flawlessly at this time. Again this very strange set has a lot of 'Adventures', some 'Deface the Music', some 'Swing to the Right' (which Bearsville wouldn't release until late 1982), some 'Healing' and very much surprises of 'Cliche', 'I Saw The Light' and a brief 'Blues Improvision' tune. We thank Geoff so much for once again allowing us to use his MASTER tapes to transfer from. For this is a very rare and very much collectable recording~ Warren |

Guest: Todd – guitar, vocals Note:Another find of a King Biscuit Disc that provides us of the whole event (which we did not have in the collection until now). Awsome event too! This thing’s ESSENTIAL! Todd & Friends performance first and then Derringer & Friends. The paperwork that came with the disc set reads: It was billed as "A Special Evening with Rick Derringer and Friends." Calling it that was an understatement to say the least, because the music (and the evening itself) was incredibly special and Rick Derringer was certainly surrounded by a lot of very important friends. Among them: Daryl Hall & John Oates; ex-Mott the Hoople leader, Ian Hunter; Edgar Winter; Dr. John; Meatloaf sidekick, Karla DeVito; and vocalist Lorna Luft. In reality, the concert was a benefit show, and the charity was none other than Rick Derringer himself. Just a few weeks prior to this concert, Derringer had been on the road gigging with his band in mid-1981, when the truck containing all their equipment was stolen. Unable to replace the truck and gear himself, Derringer and his band were suddenly in serious peril. Help, however, was on the way, and arrived when a friend, singer Lorna Luft, came up with the idea to do the special show. Within days of the robbery, she started calling other artists, many of whom had benefited from Rick's work as a guitarist and producer over the years. In less than a week, she had assembled an all-star lineup. Derringer remembers the time as if it were yesterday, "This was a huge loss for us because everything was in that truck: rare guitars, all the stage equipment, the PA equipment, the stage lights, the stage clothes. Everything was stolen and it was never found. What really hurt was the fact that we had no insurance. We were between companies and our old policy had lapsed. We had lost everything. We had to cancel a bunch of shows and we had no idea how to get back on our feet, when Lorna thought of the idea to do a benefit show to raise money so we could replace the truck and the equipment. We did it at the Palladium Theater in New York City about five or six weeks after the equipment theft, in 1981." Shortly after the concert was announced, the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show stepped in and offered to record the show and broadcast it nationwide. "The folks at King Biscuit had heard about the show, and asked to broadcast it," says Derringer. "I had done several King Biscuit shows with the Edgar Winter Group. We had been talking to them about doing a Derringer band show for a while, and they decided to do this one." Derringer opened the show with his core band: bassist Donnie Kisselbach, drummer Jimmy Wilcox; and keyboardist Benjy King (later an A&R exec for Columbia Records). From a musical standpoint, this show is certainly rough around the edges, considering the fact that it was done on the spot, and without the aid of extensive rehearsals. But the energy level is palpable - from a spunky version of the Derringer classic "Let Me In," through the soulful ballad" (I Think I'm Gonna) Jump, Jump, Jump" (which features inspired solos by both King and Derringer), to the rave-up closer, his all-time classic, "Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo." And appropriately, the first guest to join Derringer and his band for this legendary show was singer Lorna Luft. "Lorna is Liza Minelli's sister," says Derringer." She had wanted to break out of the show music scene and wanted to sing rock 'n' roll. I had done a single with her called 'It's A Long Time'. Her rock career never really happened but she was a good friend, and it was her inspiration that fueled the show itself." After a couple more songs on his own, Derringer brought up Daryl Hall and John Oates, who offered an inspired mini-set of R&B classics that included the Smokey Robinson & The Miracles "Goin' To A Go-Go", Arthur Conley's "Funky Broadway" and Sam & Dave's legendary "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby." Joining the Derringer crew for the Hall & Oates segment were long time H&O members T-Bone Wolk on bass (later to become a charter member of the Saturday Night Live Band) and drummer Mickey Curry from T-Rex and The Cure. Hall & Oates were followed by Dr. John and Edgar Winter, who teamed up with the Derringer band for a funky re-working of "Right Place, Wrong Time." Next up was Ian Hunter, who did one of his biggest solo hits, "Just Another Night (On The Other Side)," as well as a lesser known ode to the Big Apple called "Central Park & West." Hunter then segued into a medley of the Mott/Bowie classic "All The Young Dudes" blended with "Roll Away The Stone." It brought the house down. "In some ways I was surprised, but in many ways I wasn't," says Derringer, speaking of the show fourteen years later. "I had supported all these people over the years and done a lot of favors. It certainly was gratifying, even though it was sort of pay back time for me." Throughout the rest of the '80s, and into the early '90s, Derringer remained a steady touring act, but essentially stopped making new records. Finally, in 1993, he returned to the recording studio after a seven-year absence with Back to the Blues, a compelling collection of blues rock originals, followed by Electra Blues in 1994. In 2002, he released an unexpected jazz album entitled Free Ride. Derringer remains a road warrior to this day, continually pleasing a loyal following of fans with energetic live shows similar to the one captured here for the King Biscuit Flower Hour. |

LAST OF THE NEW WAVE RIDERS. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:This is a strange recording that turned out to be a hidden flower once the low end was rolled off the tape. The bass does distort, but there is amazing clarity in this old great audience recording. Kind of strange up until Lowest Common Denominator- then the set really kicks into gear by Disc Two. Highlights: Crazy Lady Blue, Healer, Caravan, New Wave Riders, Last Dollar...just a nice, nice overlooked recording from this pre-Swing tour.~ Warren |

We have the great audience recording of this whole show (see entry above). The as always classic KBFH people captured much of it professionally ('soundboard') here though. Seven months after the Detroit Royal Oak Show (KBFH & VHS Release of most the Show) and Still 'Pre-Swing' - Includes treasures 'Only Human' & 'The Up'. And the Band rushs right into each tune without pause here. Fastest 34 minutes that I've ever heard. Not even the pre 'Lysistrata Story'. Don't know if or when this aired FM. This is from the KBFH CD (which was never actually released to the public market). Fun to match this against the audience above recording. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Another wonderful 1982 Solo Show Audience Recording. All I did was bring out the vocals a bit , Edited the Tone some, and seamed some associated tracks together. What a cool rare recording! And we thank you Gil! So we have Shows from the 2nd and the 5th, and now the 3rd (Late Show)!~ Warren Gil says, "Another one I was at (for the 2nd consecutive night). This was in the middle of the SF 49ers improbable run to their first Super Bowl, and you can hear a couple of references to the Niners from the crowd in this recording. We were home from college for the holidays, and watched the playoff win over the NY Giants in the afternoon (38-24) at Mom's; it had started raining during the latter part of the game, and as we headed into SF for the Todd show we encountered a mudslide on the freeway as we descended toward the Golden Gate Bridge. We queued up in the rain waiting for the 2nd show, and were soaked through and through by the time we took our seats. The crowd was, shall we say, boisterous; I admit: some (not all) of the obnoxious banter is me. It makes for a somewhat painful listening experience at times, but Todd is a consummate professional and rolls with it. Tomita and Time Heals videos are included; photos by Wes Weaver. Postscript: we went to Wes' house on the peninsula after the show, as we were headed back to LA the next day. Watching the TV news after we made it back, we saw the images of the flooding that plagued the Bay Area the day we left and considered ourselves lucky to have gotten out the area without incident. But part of our remembrance of that time is this "drowned rat" show at the Old Waldorf." |

There are some small short probs with this, but it is worth it as Todd plays (on 6th) his debut piano solo performance of Love Is The Answer. Tiny Demons is nice and spacey.

Good personal Audience Recording by Mark, that I did some of my ‘treatment’ to. Now it’s really good! I just adjusted the amplitude and brought the highlights more up front. There’s still some very slight distortion on some tunes but hardly audible. ‘When I Pray’ (with the Audience participation) is a little rough…And the ‘Soul Medley ‘ skips at 4:35 in on ‘I’m So Proud’. And again at 5:41 in, it cuts off the beginning of ‘La La Means I Love You’. Then the end of ‘I Saw the Light’ portion, cuts out near the end. Not much we could fix about that. But other than that, the Show’s complete. Todd, of course, is in rare form here; with his hilarious Banter. He teases the crowd a lot here, so there's lots of audience yells. But the performance is flawless. I’m thinking that this Show completes the ‘Archives’ of Todd’s Solo Stand at the Old Waldorf in 1982? So this is very rare and so very ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Another beauty from my JEMS Collection. Jared's (RIP) MASTER audience recording. All I did was the digital transfer and split the tracks. I thought it so good that I didn't edit in any way. Soooooo...if you get this, all you audiophiles with your spectragrams and graphic bar arrays... don't bother. Because there's lots of mini-spikes and mini-drops and all kinds of other 'bee heedy bops'. If you want to check the quality of this, then put some head phones on and sit in the front row of Royal Oak Theatre! It's up there and in your face. Almost soundboard quality. Same setlist as all his 1982 Solo shows. A couple of songs he 'oopses', then almost restarts, but keeps on going (Love of the Common Man for example)! By the way, I omitted the usual Time heals Video because it was all chopped up and distorted. But anyway this another 1982 Solo show is fun with different twists to his introduction to tunes and this Baby is ESSENTIAL. ~ Warren Lineage: Recorded With Advent Dynamic Microphones > Sony Tc-153sd Cassette Recorder |

The first two episodes were edited broadcasts from two difference recordings which comprised two sections of Todd King Biscuit Flower Hour shows. These were later put together to make one program. 'Party in the Park' is missing only a tune or so from its 25 minute broadcast and is notable for the premiere of One World, which was played here a month or two before its appearance on the Ian Hunter/ Todd show. Todd sings, "we're just waiting for the sky to drop dead on the floor..." A fine job on three classic period pieces that were KBFH broadcasts.~ Tony |

Most tunes hail from his EMI release and some Utopia tunes in there. In our opinion, this was his best solo venture of the bunch, and it is truly a shame that EMI pulled the rug from under him after all this hard work. It may not be Todd Rundgren or Utopia but it was a strong pop album. And this set shows potential. Excellent quality.~ Warren |

Note:This is a beautiful piece (audience recording) by Geoff Laurenzo (from his MASTER Tapes of course). Its puts you right there in his seat j11. Now, I may have missed some 'drop outs' and I don't think so, for there were many. But all in all, I didn't do much to this one except even out the levels. And some little fixes.There are some spikes here and there, but I decided not to mess with too many of those. Two Video tape presentations here that Todd did where does not perform/sing: An 'Unknown Title' Instrumental and 'Time Heals'. The Time Heals recording was unfortunately very distorted so I inserted the studio version (from Jeff Gauss's 'Weavil' 'first needle drop' from his virgin copy vinyl of 'Healing') with the intro and outro left in there. This is some pretty good stuff here. By this time, Todd was very much 'into' being in Utopia. Some of these solo shows were insisted by Bearsville, which they did not promote very well, and this did nothing for the sales of any of Todd's solo albums. Thus the small halls. The UK loved the solo shows, but in the US, not so much. However, listen to the fans at this show. THEY ARE EXCITED. Again thank you Geoff for this ESSENTIAL recording for our collections. For it's a good one. And it's available nowhere but here! !~ Warren |

Note:Just got around to transferring this age old cassette tape to digital. I believe this is from a simulcast from a local Columbus Station, but it is a very mono recording. It’s not great phonics, but very much a keeper for archiving sakes. The audience goes wild during the performance. Sounds like The Beatles are in the house! Of course Cleveland and Columbus love their Todd Rundgren concerts. Still do to this day. If you liked the 1982 solo shows/tour then this one would not disappoint you. Very entertaining and lots of fun (all tunes). It was the same solo set throughout the year intermixed with a couple of video presentations during the performance (an ‘abstract’ video segment, shades of early Grokgazer and the Todd processed and produced promo video for ‘Time Heals’ which made it widely on MTV in those days). Pretty much all just Todd…acoustic guitar, ‘Fool’ Gibson and piano except the soul medley has the prerecorded instruments (from AWATS) background. All very much worthy for burning to CD for listening pleasures. ~ Warren |

Note:Another wonderul audience recording by our ever faithful 'traveler' Geoff Laurenzo. Another of his MASTER tapes. Not much tweaking was done on this one, other than fixing 'levels' and repairing 'drop outs'. But again the second tape showed the blunt of 34 years, and I had to 'reshell' it. And it has a little bit of different quality to it...you can notice....it begins with 'When I Pray'. For the most part this recording has a 'concert hall' sound/acoustics to it. And Todd's usual long banter between many of the tunes is hard to understand...for some reason he 'races' through it too. And the crowd noise is very prominent here. Todd mentions early that this is the second set of the night. And Geoff tells us that it was a packed house for the second show, and that it was pretty much just standing room. He couldn't get tickets for the first show. And I believe the first show was the one that was broadcast video locally in Ohio. Todd's two video presentatations (with audio tapes) leave much to be desired (Tracks 06 & 14), but otherwise,this a very good recording ~ Warren |

Note:A new rare share from a new friend in England. Dale Michelsohn (Who just happened to be a former stage technician at the Odeon Theatre Birmingham UK. And He worked on that first TR & Utopia gig Odeon 10/02/75!) recorded this audience tape. An excellent recording. Sounds like it was recorded yesterday. And so many yesterdays ago this show took place. Todd nails this performance, as he did this entire Solo UK Tour. Just a few highlights: You will laugh at his humorous interaction with the Birmingham crowd. He pokes at the Prime Minister & The US Government to his intro of 'Too Far Gone'. His Lysistrata story has a funnier twist to it. And the performance of Lysistrata is very energetic. He introduces his Video ideas to the crowd (accompanied with 'abstract audio'). His solo piano with 'Drunken Blue Rooster' is flawless. He says, 'Roger Powell says my piano playing is like a baby ant eater'. "When I Pray' is very fun with audience3 part participation. Again he shows video to the crowd with "Time Heals'. The 'Soul Medley' is performed with background tape. But the body of this show is just Todd, acoustic guitar (except ‘Tiny Demons’ is with The Fool/Gibson) and piano. ESSENTIAL. Add this to the rest of the UK 1982 Solo Tour that you have! And thank you Dale ~ Warren |

Todd entertains the Brits with his wit throughout and in between tunes. Especially entertaining is his story about Lysistrata and Ancient Greece (which he also did in Detroit with Utopia that year - 1982). All tunes are treat, including surprises like 'Drunken Blue Rooster' and 'When I Pray'. Unfortunately missing are the last two tunes 'I saw The Light' and 'Hello It's Me'.~ Warren |

| Date Added:7/1/2013 Track List:LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. CLICHE. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. TOO FAR GONE. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. SONG OF THE VICKING. LYSISTRATA. TINY DEMONS. BAG LADY. I'M SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY/LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU/I SAW THE LIGHT. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL. Note:One hidden in the vaults until now. This is the BBC (post)Broadcast of the second night/second set 'late' show of a two night stand Todd Solo at The Venue Club in London. Apparently he was aired live both nights (4 sets) there.This is a digital transfer to CD that I've done from a crystal clean low generation cassette recording of the broadcast late May 1982.Similiar setlists for both nights, but notice the different additions in this one. This is ESSENTIAL. It's so fantastic to have such a record of history with these three sets (out of four performed).~ Warren |

| 5/28/82 | ODEON BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND (SOLO SHOW) | AUDIENCE - DALE MICHELSOHN | 150:00 |

DRUNKEN BLUE ROOSTER.WHEN I PRAY (AUDIENCE THREE PART PARTICIPATION).VIDEO OF TIME HEALS.SOUL MEDLEY (CONCLUDES W/I SAW THE LIGHT).ONE WORLD.ENCORE: THE WHEEL.ENCORE: A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note: Note:A new rare share from a new friend in England. Dale Michelsohn (Who just happened to be a former stage technician at the Odeon Theatre Birmingham UK. And He worked on that first TR & Utopia gig Odeon 10/02/75!) recorded this audience tape. An excellent recording. Sounds like it was recorded yesterday. And so many yesterdays ago this show took place. Todd nails this performance, as he did this entire Solo UK Tour. Just a few highlights: You will laugh at his humorous interaction with the Birmingham crowd. He pokes at the Prime Minister & The US Government to his intro of 'Too Far Gone'. His Lysistrata story has a funnier twist to it. And the performance of Lysistrata is very energetic. He introduces his Video ideas to the crowd (accompanied with 'abstract audio'). His solo piano with 'Drunken Blue Rooster' is flawless. He says, 'Roger Powell says my piano playing is like a baby ant eater'. "When I Pray' is very fun with audience3 part participation. Again he shows video to the crowd with "Time Heals'. The 'Soul Medley' is performed with background tape. But the body of this show is just Todd, acoustic guitar (except ‘Tiny Demons’ is with The Fool/Gibson) and piano. ESSENTIAL. Add this to the rest of the UK 1982 Solo Tour that you have! And thank you Dale ~ Warren |

| 6/3/82 | OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST LONDON BBC | TV-RE BROADCAST (JIM PAIGE) | 63:00 |

TIME HEALS (VIDEO SEGMENT). ONE WORLD. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:Listed here only for collection list purposes, for now the BBC video of this has been officially & magnificently re-produced and released by Esoteric Recordings (ELEC 42469). You will not be dissapointed if you buy this one (of course the Boxset comes a long with much much more and it's well worth 'the pass' to it. So please buy it). However, what I do list here is Jim Paige's own complete audio recording of the show which he grabbed off his TV/FM radio simulcast in the UK. Todd's performance is stellar and he has much enjoyment interacting between tunes with the London crowd. To listen to the 'Time Heals' audio of the video is a little boring, but Todd 'unplugged'in 1982 was far better than even his solo stuff he was doing in the (early) 2000s.'Tiny Demons' is particularly excellent here.I'm thinking that BBC knows that this was one of the best 'Old Grey Whistle Test(s)'ever.Thus the recent release.~ Warren |

ONE WORLD (TODD). LIKE A ROLLING STONE. Note:This audience job kick ass Benefit for the Vets featured Mark clarke on bass, Eric Parker on drums. Irene Wilde features Tommy Mandel on organ. Rolling Stone has original keys man Al Kooper doing it. Cale's song kicks ass as well. Todd blazes on No Money Down with seldom heard flange guitar sound that he plays most of the nite. Another Bubnick/Russo piece. Some yap... but still sounds full and far better than any cassette of this show.~ Tony & Warren Todd appears again, with Utopia at Pier 84 in August (see entry below) |

You all probably know that the annual shows at Central Park were discontinued because of residents & locals complained about the noise.So Pier 84 it is. Here is a summer time 'Suits Tour' from Tom Cannon and tweeked by Paul Russo. The pace of the tour really brings this show to life. There is some yap, but not too bad- sound is decent. Forgotten But Not Gone was supposed to be a country tune, but is so fast here that its almost 'punk country'. This was one of the very first shows after Kasim came back to the fold.~ Warren |

Note:Geoff Laurenzo Audience Taping. This one isn't terrible. It's just that the acoustics are very concert hallish and distant and more 'mono' than usual. There was just not really anything I could do to make any improvements for listening pleasures. Don't get me wrong, this is a very listenable recording, and a keeper for historic record. This was a period when Utopia performed almost flawlessly as a unit. Fortunately we have a lot of excellent recordings from this 'Suits' Tour (Professionally and audience).We thank Geoff for this addition to the vaults.~ Warren |

Gil Ieland-Ashley says, “From when the toured promoting the Network album. This is from the Friday night before the Thanksgiving broadcast from the Country Club, and I assume they spent the following days in preproduction for the broadcast. It's an audience recording, and only a single tape's worth so it runs out a few seconds into One World and is missing LITA and JOV. My tape is a 1st gen cassette direct from the taper's master, since lost, so this is as good as we're gonna get. I did a raw transfer, took the .wav into audacity to break it into tracks and do some pitch correction. It's a decent aud recording, nothing spectacular but definitely listenable.” Thank you for this one Gil!~ Warren |

Note:Both dates culled from Soundboard recordings made available to us from Frank Bubnick through someone we only know as ‘The Dragon’ (whom we’ve we lost contact with decades ago). This whole thing about two shows ‘complete & then some’ is very interesting to me. For I listened and recorded live the FM radio Broadcast on Thanksgiving night as I also watched the simulcast too. I had no earthly idea that there were two shows (and recorded) for decades. And these soundboard recordings are magnificent. They are truly trophies for me as a Todd superfan and historian. We’re very fortunate. Utopia is damn near flawless here.~ Warren *Special thanks to Istvan for splitting and editing the tracks for the 11/25/82 stuff! |

But to start of a rare TV 'featured' appearance with 'Chant' was strange. Now, ending the show with 'One World' was great! We really don't have much here in the archives for 1983, so these few tunes are a welcome addition, for the sound quality is very good.~ Warren |

Todd was backed by Mike Finnigan & the Right Band ("members too numerable to mention") and accompanied by vocalists Flo & Eddie (Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan) and Karla Devito.

Note:By happenstance I found this in amongst the 1000+ cassette tape archive here. This audience tape is definetly a lost & found. We don't have much from 1983 for Utopia. I basically just transferred it from the cassette tape 'as is'(no EQ). And split the tracks. The sound is very good for this age old recording. It was a great performance and great set. Of course there are a few spikes, drops and cut ins and outs and level changes. But it is a very good audience recording by a fan 30 years ago. It's pretty much the whole show. Again, we get to hear the great medley they were doing in 1983 of: "Communion With TheSun/The Seven Rays/Singring and the Glass Guitar/Initiation/The Road To Utopia/Caravan/Last of the New Wave Riders". Rick Nielsen makes a guest appearance on "One World" too! This is ESSENTIAL.~ Warren |

Note:A decent audience recording that our buddy Hiroshi made excellent. You still hear typical audience yap for New York. It's just that we have so little of 1983 represented (Soundboard or Audience Tape), this needs it's spot in the Archives. Incredible set too. Overture/ Communion With Sun, all the way through Last of The New Wave Riders, is basically one big tune/medley (seven songs).ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL! Thank you Hiroshi!~ Warren |

Note:Incredible Second Source of this Show has surfaced. Only editing needed was; I thought I would bring the highlights out front a smudge...And edited gaps. Now, with exception to minimal crowd noise, you would think this was a Soundboard! A remarkable listen. We know from 'Julsay' that the recorder was dead center - 10 rows back. You could put on some headphones and that's where you'll be. This is that good people! Of course, it includes the 8 long tune 35:36 Min. Medley beginning Disc Two, that is so very rare: 'Communion With the Sun'/'The Ikon'/'The Seven Rays'/ 'Singring'/'Initiation'/'Road To Utopia'/'Caravan' and 'Last of the New Wave Riders'! This Source also includes 'Princess of the Universe', which the other Source did not! An incredible performance by the band! THIS SHOW IS ESSENTIAL and a ‘Trophy’ and you will love it.

ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL. BONUS TRACK: 12/9/83 TULSA OK CAINES BALLROOM - IF DIDN'T TRY (SOLO PIANO PRE-RELEASE VERSION). Note:This Weavil upgrade leaves us stunned - it is such a dramatic improvement over the older versions. The clarity and processing and speed correction puts this in a new category. Finally the Midwest jaunt of 1983 is proudly represented. It contains two of the most spine chilling goose bump moments; That is the solo piano version of Maybe I Could Change...its otherworldy...at the end Todd sings " ...We can change the world..." The delicate touch but powerful tour de force...it smokes...leaves in the dust the studio version...it is that special. The other is the slightly less quality, but still hair raising, solo paino version of If I Didnt Try from Tulsa Caines 8 days later. This was pre-Oblivion. We really cant tell you enough how we needed this new Weavil creation, and how much ALL of you need it, too. A major gap in the canyon has been filled by Jeff...wow. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Another stellar audience recording (MASTER) from ‘The Ever Popular Tortured Taper’ Geoff Laurenzo. This time its Todd solo 1983. And the set very similar to Todd’s 1982 solo shows (with the exception of one video he shows as opposed to two. We get a piece of audio from the TEPTAE video.) Having said that, you might want to skip that track 06. Not much listening pleasure there. However this recording of Geoff’s puts you right in the front row center and it's almost like the PA System is right in my headphones (if you use those for this kind of stuff). It’s first-rate! Instruments and vocals right up front acoustics-wise. AND we get a great early rendition of ' If I Didn't Try'!! I won’t critique the whole thing, but Todd is flawless here. This an ESSENTIAL recording for your 70s- 80s Trophy shelf. And there’s not enough Thank Yous for Geoff for providing his MASTER of this. ~ Warren |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER.THE WHEEL. Note:This is either a copy from the sound monitor board, or very very good audience recording. And the tape that it originally transferred from, reads: "1st copy from the Master Tape". I wish I knew who it originated from (Taper), so I could give them credit.I had sent this show to Istvan to see if he had time to split the tracks for me (It was just two big tracks). And not only did he split the tracks, he also did some 'beautification'. Todd is pretty much flawless here, and Tulsa got one helluva good show. Again, we get and early performance of 'If I didn't Try' too! Same set list as most his solo 1982 and 1983 shows, but with some additional numbers. ESSENTIAL.~ Warren |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:Gil is transferring to digital some tapes/shows for me that aren't in the Archives here. And this too is an Excellent Audience Recording, with the exception of yap near the taper. I did a little of bringing the highlights up front. Unfortunately, when I do that; it highlights the chatter next to the taper as well. And The Video Tracks are not worth listening to, for the recorder did not pick them up as clearly as Todd’s actual performance. A couple of places where the audience applause is 'cut’ too (not real noticeable).Typical December 1983 Solo set. But Todd's performance is stellar and a lot of fun. ~ Warren |

However, this Audience Recording sounds ‘Distant Concert Hall-ish’, so I left ‘as is’; two big raw tape transfer WAV tracks (Side A & Side B).Will split them some other day.And I can’t improve it. It ‘is what it is’. The Video Portions are not worth listening to, for the recorder did not pick them up clearly. They’re rough. Typical December 1983 Solo set. But Todd's performance is stellar and a lot of fun. Very listenable and RARE! Thank you Gil!~ Warren |

But, through Istvan I have a ‘it all’ as far as ‘Love Bomb Rarities’ go. All the rarities are ESSENTIAL... for Todd is all over these. Not only the Producer, but close friends with many of the member...basically part of the Band here. You’ll hear lot’s of his Leadership, participation (vocals & instrumentation), instruction and sometimes criticism. In past Tours, he has used some of The Tubes repertoire from this Album~ Warren |

Excellent sound, But it's chopped up as far as the order of performance and not the entire Show. We're missing much of the better songs: 'Princess of the Universe', 'Bring Me My Longbow', 'Lysistrata', 'The Very Last Time', 'Caravan', 'Last of the New Wave Riders'and 'Love is The Answer'!

LOVE WITH A THINKER. IM LOOKING AT YOU BUT IM TALKING TO MYSELF. YOU MAKE ME CRAZY. THE VERY LAST TIME. TRAPPED. LAST OF THE NEW WAVE RIDERS. CRYBABY. Note:This transfer was mostly because of some of the performance contained. It is not as good as either the main FM shows, but the band is more confident here than either of those. It's an audience recording but quickly settles into a listenable 'Oblivion' document. The yap there does not distract from the performance. There are some adjustment problems on Too Much Water...If Didnt Try is a gem...Love of The Common Man sounds so high... can't believe he did it in this key for so long. Hammer In My Heart has a totally different feel to it than today. Willie just drives the bus home. Roger is smoking all night. Abandon City is merciless...Kazim and his bass playing while singing Set Me Free is suprising here...great stuff...Itch In My Brain is absolutely frantic - like in the midst of the end of the world - Todd ad-libs for awhile at the end of Thinker...missing from this due to yap and length considerations are: Lysistrada, Love In Action, JOV...the last 2 were somewhat marred...on this cd, you can hear the band saddle up on Willie for a ride. Willie really propels this show forward...this is one of his better ones (groove-wise). Again sound is not that great, so if lower fidelity bothers you, stay away and go to Chicago or Poughkeepsie...but hardcore collectors won't want to miss If I Didnt Try and Itch here~ Tony & Warren |

Note:This one from Jon Risen’s vaults (He shared the audio on YouTube). I didn’t even know it was ‘out there’. He calls it a ‘rough listen’, but I think it is a real good and very rare audience recording. Jon says, “Audience recording of Utopia during their Oblivion Tour at Bogart's in Cincinnati, Ohio may 21st 1984. Rough recording but this is one of the few shows they played Just One Victory, from what I understand. The taper must have only brought one tape because halfway through the show there are a lot of cuts between the songs, all of the songs are complete except JOV cuts off about halfway through. The show is complete. The audio is somewhat rough but listenable, this show is special to me because it was my first Utopia show, I was 9 years old at the time. I got to meet Roger, Kas and Todd and got their autographs. I was on cloud nine that night and it made quite an impression on my 9 year old brain...... anyway, enough of my story, enjoy the show!” Thank you Mojorisen! |

LAST OF THE NEW WAVE RIDERS. CRYBABY. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Probably(in the old days) the most often traded 1984 'Oblivion' show. And it sounds very good for an old audie..no it isn't better than the radio stuff Poughkeepsie/Chicago..but the performance is super. Some comments here: Willie's drumming on If I Didnt Try is super-great feel...Hammer sounds very different - groove wise...Abandon City crawls- it is real slow...makes for some great stuff happening. In fact, Todd's rhythm guitar on the mid set tunes shines...Itch In My Brain/Thinker is the best version performance wise - the guitar leads and ending of Thinker screams...Caravan - Roger goes freaky on the solos...at Crybaby, there is (w/ hysteria) a slight roughness to the sound which rebounds quickly in a few seconds. All in all, not the best sound, but nice and an exuberant performance...~ Tony & Warren |

Note:After I did very much 'work' to this Audience Recording (Gil had transfered it from Cassette for us), I cannot believe how miraculous this now sounds for an Outdoor Stage ('Festival') Show. Sure there's the audience noise and chatter...that's expected. Lots of hand clapping to the beat of some of the tunes, but not annoying. The Afternoon Set starts off a little rough ('Too Much Water'), then phonics improve. The Evening Show, the Band is on fire, with two great Medleys! Both Shows; when the audience noise stops to just listen, the sound of the music is incredible. Lot's of 'Oblivion' here, that I know the Fans get to hear for the first time. All the performances are very burnable to 2 CDs for listening pleasure. I love this! ENJOY~ Warren |

Note:A pretty clean audience tape from the rarely talked about 1984 Winter tour. We edited out the TEPTAE video excerpts, and the way too noisy Bang On The Drum and get one CD of the ever evolving 1984 thing. Drunken Blue Rooster and Bag Lady make this nice and the pre-released Honest Work. You can hear Todd rail against Albert's label. Probably due to the lack of release to date of A Cappella.~ Warren |

Recently surfaced is the TV Special ‘Airlift TV Special 1985’. Being that the video is 32 years old and just now surfacing, the Video shows it’s age. However the soundtrack is pretty darn good. I only had to do minor tweaking. And it came out marvelous. Todd actually performed; ‘ Love of the Common Man’, ‘Cliché’, ‘It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference’, ‘Can We Still Be Friends’, ‘Lysistrata’, ‘Honest Work’, ‘The Wheel’ and ‘One World’ (with The Tubes). So we’re missing four performances by him. Not sure how much of the Tubes Set that we’re missing. But The ‘Night People Medley’ is the entire second side of Love Bomb’ so that’s pretty cool. Again, pretty good audio here. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:I mentioned this Show in an earlier listing, but it was a incomplete (Todd's Set) version of the Show (from TV Video Soundtrack). Now, with the addition of Gil's transfer from tape for me, of Todd's full performance, we have the full Show (except 'One World' Cuts Out). If you love The Tubes like I do, You'll love their Set! They're on fire here. 'Love Bomb'! Especially 'Talk To Ya Later' and 'Feel It' (which was a Todd 'Show Staple' for years). I include, without a second thought, the hilarious Robin Williams (RIP) Portions to complete the Performance. Gil's Audience Recording sounds much like Soundboard (after my tweeking) and the rest is Soundboard. So THIS IS ESSENTIAL! EXCELLENT! And thank you Gil!~ Warren |

We're missing the encore performance though (either 'Love Is The Answer' or 'Just One Victory'. Maybe both.)~ Warren |

Note: Another amazing audience recording by Geoff Laurenzo. Unfortunately, This one was only one tape, so were missing a small part of the 1985 Utopia set at that time. I believe we're just missing 'More Light', 'Love Is The Answer' and 'Just One Victory'. This was really the last Tour of Utopia as we knew it. Utopia's POV Tour in 1985 was February through July. And then Todd was performing with a large group of singers October through December in support of 'A Cappella'. In Billy Jame's 2nd Todd Rundgren Book; 'A Dream Goes On Forever'...'The Utopia Years'; [u]Much is made about the sound of the performances then[/u]. Apparently, with Utopia's new Technology, it was hard for the audiences to hear the vocals at many shows. As was with the 'Oblivion' Tour, the Band had headset microphones. The only sound monitors present were on either side of Willie's customized drum set - up. [i]As is the case here with 'Play This Game' only, the vocals aren't as prominent as we'd like. The Instrumentation drowns out vocals at times. But as these tracks go on, the vocals become much clearer.[/i] Roger had a brand new design (physically & technically) to his Keyboards and arrangements. His ever large set of synthesizer 'banks' are replaced by a mere computer terminal behind Willie's 'set up'. Willie had a completely programmed drum set (A motorcycle framework).The guitars were wireless, and the amps were hidden off stage. So the acoustics are a bit different. But as mentioned earlier, about those hard to hear vocals; I tried to bring them a little more out front. Which is pretty much all I did as far as tweaking. Geoff's tape is just very good sound-wise. So I think everybody will enjoy the sound quality of this one. Thanks once again to Geoff's generosity of letting us transfer this MASTER Tape! ~Warren |

| Date Added:10/27/2013 Track List:PLAY THIS GAME. PRINCESS OF THE UNIVERSE. STYLE. HAMMER IN MY HEART. SWING TO THE RIGHT. ZEN MACHINE. MATED. MYSTIFIED. THE ROAD TO UTOPIA. Note:Partial show and this audience recording is missing a lot of phonics. I transferred it, and added to the archives just for posterity. However, vocals are very much out front (and very CLEAR). As well as Todd’s guitar. No rhythm section (bass & drums) audible in the recording really. But that’s what makes this incredibly special. It’s a very clean listen to Todd in action in 1985. I consider it a fun rarity to listen to and add to the collection. Notice that they switch performance order of ‘Style’ and ‘Princess of the Universe’ too.~ Warren |

Note:This one is a VERY good audience recording. Unfortunately, all we have is a partial set. But Utopia has fun, and puts on a show here from Chicago. An easy transfer from age old low generation cassette. I just dubbed it 'as is'. No equalization or tweaks necessary. Still a great one for the Collector!~ Warren |

Lot's of audience chatter next to recorder. Takes some getting used to. But folks this is the band cookin'! The audience is loving it. Wow. The recorder also captured Baba O' Rielly with the Tubes (after the Utopia Show)! Sounds like the whole city of New York singing a long with it and Just One Victory. Frank Bubnick did what he could to this. I'm keeping/listening to this baby.~ Warren |

ROAD TO UTOPIA. CARAVAN. MORE LIGHT. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. JUST ONE VICTORY. WITH THE TUBES: BABA O'RIELLY/THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. Note:Since we’re sharing a lot of the 1985 POV tour, I found this one hidden in the vaults. Don’t know why it hasn’t been transferred from the cassette before. I was going to ‘play with it’, but decided to just dub ‘as is’. No equalization or anything (yet). Starts out as a 'bassy bottom' one. But very much improves as the tape goes on. Very much of a 'keeper'. As a real historic treat, the unknown audience recorder also captured two tunes with the Tubes with Todd that night as well... with the entire city of West Hartford singing along. Fee's (The Tubes) vocals are incredible. I'm very much pleased with this one. It has much promise. Maybe one day soon, I'll get one of you (my buddies) to tweak it a little bit for everybody's collection. Enjoy this!~ Warren Update 2013-10-31: Joe Franks stepped up to the plate and EQ'd, edited and did a 'speed pass' on this one and has made it extraordinarily good! Now one of the better POV audience recordings. Thank you Joe for your continued magic.~ Warren |

(CUTS IN) MORE LIGHT. Note:Another audience recording that I don't know why anybody hasn't transferred the cassette to digital before. It's a very good one. Notice that they perform 'Love Is The Answer' earlier in the set (instead of an encore tune). And they move 'The Road To utopia' before 'Mated'. Not quite the full show. I'm thinking that they performed 'Caravan' (with Willie drum solo), before 'More Light' and the encore was 'Just One Victory'. So we're not missing too much. Turn this one up! It's got a great back beat.~ Warren |

PRINCESS OF THE UNIVERSE.SET ME FREE.HAMMER IN MY HEART.SWING TO THE RIGHT.ZEN MACHINE.MATED.MYSTIFIED.THE ROAD TO UTOPIA/CARAVAN/MORE LIGHT.LOVE IS THE ANSWER. Note:Found this cassette lost in the vaults, and I don't know that anybody has ever transferred it to digital. Either this is a soundboard tape or one of the best audience tapings. The only audience yap is at the beginning of 'Play This Game' and it may be just the soundboard technician. Anyway, I just dubbed this as is from the cassette and split the tracks. There's some static, snap and distortion in a very few places, but over all this is seriously good sound! 'The Road to Utopia', 'Caravan' and 'More Light' lead right into one another in the form of a medley. And listen to the excellent performance of 'Love Is The Answer'. Todd's vocals here are unbeatable. In fact the band's vocals throughout the taping are incredible. I think all that we're missing (besides partial 'Play This Game') of this show, in support of the 'POV' release, is 'Just One Victory' as an encore song.~ Warren |

LOVE IS THE ANSWER Note:So far the best find from this era that hadn't yet been transferred. There were a number of great recordings from Milwaukee over the 80s especially... and this one is really nice. Very very low audience noise. Sounds like the mics were positioned unobscured in front of the PA...etc... As for performance, not all great...Pretending To Care is a bit of a disspointment here, yet I Want You is superb...even passionate on Hodja...there is a slight bummer, in that the last 4 tunes have unnatural cuts and fades...Probably due to recording the show on cassette and tape shortage...All in all, this is why we've undertaken another exam of the tapes and called it the 'Archive' a/o 'Library'. And we're really lucky there are people like Sara and others who will take the time to find nuggets like this. This is as good of an audie that you'll ever get from this era. Maybe this could benefit from some further processing help on down the line but, its really nice to be no longer oxidizing...thanks Sara K.!~ Tony & Warren |

MAYBE IM BETTER OFF. FROM HUNGER. WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. ENTROPY. FINALE BONUS TRACKS: NH DEMOS- PARALLEL LINES. FIDELITY (BOTH TR DEMOS). Note:Through the idea of Larry Clark, and the home deck of one Mr. T. Smith, we come up with a CD of what we had before Todd decided to spruce these up before the Pony Canyon official release. Dont expect same quality as the official but, as all hardcore collectors know; the Todd demos have never been available in pristine quality - there is an annoying hiss in all of them. This is the cleanest we've heard 'em. Tony had this done to respond to what Larry Clark thought of/wanted, Tim (Smith) didnt index the tracks... but as was said, they sound better than they have before. So for those who want to pick out what was changed side-by-side, this is required for those purposes. For those who just want the music, clearly the official "retouched" version on Pony Cannon is the way to go. We think you can find/buy a copy through Scott at TRBAZAAR.~ Warren |

Note:A 'One Off' for the Tubes (W/o Fee Waybill) backing Todd for this Tribute to Jane Dornacker. This is rare wonderful Audience Recording (I did some editing) Gil transferred it from Cassette for me. It's ALL Todd (with help from the Tubes). He beautifully performs The Tube's 'Come As You Are', and he brings out his entire 'A Capella Tour' Ensemble to back him on 'Mighty Love' & 'Just One Victory'! This is all GREAT, except with the slight cut off of 'Just One Victory'. And thank you Gil! RARE!~ Warren Wikipedia says, “Jane Dornacker (October 1, 1947 – October 22, 1986) was an American rock musician, actress, comedian, and traffic reporter. In 1986, while working for WNBC 660 AM Radio in New York City (which became WFAN in 1988), Dornacker was aboard during two unrelated crashes of the helicopters leased to WNBC. She survived the first crash, but was killed in the second crash into the Hudson River, which occurred as she was delivering a live traffic report. A memorial concert in celebration of Dornacker took place at The Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on Saturday, November 22, 1986. (She wrote ‘Don’t Touch Me There’ for The Tubes)” |

Basically the best sound quality there was and the 1st show of the tour. He was a bit scattered, and even forgot CWSBF which caused a rushed Love of The Common man and Lysistrada, but this recording is the premiere performance of both Smell of Money and Parallel Lines. Todd even apologizes for his lack of organization at the end of the show. We have another tape from this venue, with a few additions to the set list, so maybe there were two shows that night.

Note:A Chicago New Years Eve show which is purported to be the late show... and Todd is drunk for sure. This CD is not for those who wish a perfect performance, but this really is enjoyable (comedy-wise)... Todd begins the show annoucing " he would take for granted that everyonme in the audience is as f***d up as he is", Todd has a penchant for the 'f' word ("...If you'd like I'll be your f****n Viking")... Talks about $35 a show (in 1986!)... Talks about how Reagan was proved to be a liar... when someone says Todd is Godd, he replies "Godd is drunk!...". Refers to "Pee Wee's Crackhouse"... just really a fun time and amazing how much he laughs through it... not for everyone and not meant to demean Todd's name...just a fun CD for those who can take the joke... people say the late 1987 San Rafael show was the 'drunk show' but this one he was pretty far gone...he does a great version of Love Is The Answer before he leaves the stage... no celebration as Todd goes from Smell of Money to One World~ Tony & Warren |

Only Retail Appearance of this music was on a Sampler 'Various Artists' Album called 'Sounding Joy' on Audion Records in 1986. It was a 'Spiritual' album of mostly vocal artists though. They called it 'New Age' music back then.One Track (4:12 min) |

Only music (3 tracks) we know of that exists from a proposed solo album by Roger in 1986 (or 1987) that was to be titled 'Architecture'. He has mentioned at one point, that the albums masters were lost when the intended company Passport Records went out of business (POV & Oblivion were on Passport). Icon Music was the next company intended to pick up and release Roger's effort, but failed to do so not having 'project'. |

Note:Excellent Audience Recording (Rare. Not in 'circulation)! Gil transferred this from his cassette 'as is'(raw) for me. All I did was bring some highlights up front, for Todd uses 'backing computer music' on this one. He explains before 'Mated', in great detail, the loss of some of his equipment, damaged at the Woodstock Warehouse. And he's using Roger's 'Texture' Equipment. This is not the infamous 'Drunk Show', that is at New George's seven months later (August). This is an awesome performance. Too bad that a goofy/stoned Fan was next to the taper. I cut out as much of him as I could, without ruining the integrity of the recording. Todd has fun here, as you can hear him stop & pause for a period, and the finish 'Love in Action', with humor. I love this (with the exception of audience chatter & hollering).ESSENTIAL for Collectors~ Warren |

This is by now a well-worn set list but Todd clearly is comfortable, playing the same venue for the 2nd night in a row.

Note:Another absolute beauty MASTER from The JEMS Collection of cassettes that they sent me (and there's many more to 'get to'). All I did, literally, was a digital transfer from the cassette and split the tracks. I would say that it was flawless, which it is, except, it has a load of digital 'spikes', that I just left as is, because it doesn't affect what you hear by any means. And, someone sitting next to Jared is clearly talking through much of the beginning of 'It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference'. And 'Honest Work' is 'digitally' quiet (the audience too). Todd's performance is stellar here. This again, was recorded by Jared (RIP) with JEMS. I was missing 'Can We Still Be Friends' and 'Lysistrata' somehow from my tape and Istvan was kind enough to supply those additions for us! Todd uses a 'background music machine' for much of it, that sounds marvelous.This is ESSENTIAL .And we don't have a lot of 1987 Shows in our vaults. ~ Warren Lineage: Recorded With Advent Dynamic Microphones > Sony Tc-153sd Cassette Recorder |

This one turned out beautiful. All I did was bring the highlights up front (mostly vocals). I bet you could confuse it as a Soundboard easy. All New York Shows, the audiences generally are very yappy, noisy and roudy. Not this one. They're pretty much behaved. He puts on quite a performance here. His humor is all there too.

I think all we're missing is 'Love Is The Answer', 'The Wheel', and 'Just One Victory'. Maybe 'Mystified'. Gil said something interesting, "Immediately after the July 30th, July 31st & August 1st 'run' at the Palace in Hollywood, Todd was scheduled to play the 3rd, 4th & 5th at Wolfgang's. After Wolfgang's burned down (RIP, those 3 shows were absorbed into a single show at the Warfield on 8/5/87, 3 nights before the San Rafeal 'Drunk Show'".

ONE WORLD. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. THE WHEEL. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:This one is fun. Yes, this is known as the infamous 'drunk show'. One of the most popular audience recordings within the Todd rarities trading circulation. I thank Jon Risen for this version; for I believe it’s his digital transfer from the original tapers masters. So it’s ‘soundboardish’ quality. We have the fan film of this in circulation as well, which is timeless & priceless (much of it is on YouTube). But you can see/hear that although Todd was intent on drinking a bunch, it really didn’t wreck the performance (as much as the 1986 Chicago show). Todd does get an incredibly persistent hiccup problem (especially on ‘The Wheel’ where he laughs through the tune). The sound is a strong performance. Yes it was alcohol enhanced, but true entertainment. Much stand up comedy.‘There Goes My Inspiration’ benefits from his looseness. ‘Mystified’ here, by himself, was ultra rare, as is ‘Bad Little Actress’ (which is sloppy, but inspired...too many chord changes...too fast for the alcohol). ‘Mated’ is ragged as well. Yet another great 1987 show that sounds real nice and has a few surprises as well. Loaded with fan favorites. Many say that he was even ‘cute’ during this performance. ESSENTIAL. |

NOT the best sounding show from this tour, but definitely one of the more enjoyable I have found. The TR/audience stuff here is great. The BEST Play This Game I have heard from this tour. B/B- for sound because the audience roars pretty loud at times (mostly near the end) and it is trebly and harsh at times. Adjust your EQ and you'll be happy. Back when he played piano very well" |

Note:I never really had this whole show like this. Recent find of a King Biscuit Flower Disc Set of it. KBFH really came through in 1987 on this one. The sound is incredible. It’s like the instruments and vocals each have their own channel. This is a timeless concert. Deserves a re-listen by the everybody and anybody - even today. Every tune is so Rundgren-esque. He must have had a part in the writing - when he produced their album ‘YoYo’ (though he’s not in the songs credits). And this tour/show is in support of that album of course. Todd guest appears out of the audience here, and is involved on the last 4 encore songs (He had just done the ‘Condomania’ show with them in April). Of course all of us collectors have heard this performance where the band (and Todd) also does a devastatingly brilliant cover of the 1966 Beatles classic, "Tomorrow Never Knows," which they morph into the Sgt Pepper-based composition by George Harrison, "Within Without You." But every single tune here is addictive. This show/performance is ESSENTIAL. We all know that most the band went off to play for Todd for the 'Nearly Human' and 'Second Wind' eras. Every ‘Toddhead’ WILL find some favorites here!~ Warren |

YOU'LL THANK ME IN THE END. MAYBE I'M BETTER OFF. FROM HUNGER. WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. ENTROPY.FINALE. Note:Through the idea of Larry Clark, and the home deck of one Mr. T. Smith, we come up with a CD of what we had before Todd decided to spruce these up before the Pony Canyon official release. Dont expect same quality as the official but, as all hardcore collectors know; the Todd demos have never been available in pristine quality - there is an annoying hiss in all of them. This is the cleanest we've heard 'em. Tony had this done to respond to what Larry Clark thought of/wanted, Tim (Smith) didnt index the tracks... but as was said, they sound better than they have before. So for those who want to pick out what was changed side-by-side, this is required for those purposes. For those who just want the music, clearly the official "retouched" version on Pony Cannon is the way to go. We think you can find/buy a copy through Scott at TRBAZAAR.Thanks to Istvan for supplying us with his copy!~ Warren |

It is a watershed moment for one Vince Welnick who as we all know went on to 'security heaven' with the Grateful Dead gig shortly thereafter. Todd converses and encourages the independence of Vince. At the end of spewing insightful personal philosophy, Todd says he is telling Vince this because he believes in him as an entity separate from the Tubes...Vince does get the Todd gig with the touring band...forms the Affordables, forms the VMB and then goes on to get the best paying gig in the world replacing Brent Myland in the Dead. Maybe the power of someone as gifted as Todd believing in him did the trick. The session and outtakes vary in quality but to me the most insightful is listening to Todd’s rap throughout. Although his company occasionally chuckles at his laser beam/idealistic attitude. There can be no doubt that this man we all follow is a special gifted unique individual. Please listen to this dialog fully before you pass any judgment. Domineering yes... but when you see the point and pure purpose of the discussion, you have more respect for the man who truly is what he sings about but you have to get through the defense shell sometimes. The tune parts show Todd in complete control of an ensemble ready to please. BTW, was the 2nd recording date for Nearly Human.” ~ Anthony (Tony) Rogers This has made it's way out into the web world, so please be discreet when passing it around. Open sharing may bite one in the ass, if you know what I mean ~ Warren |

Todd runs 'em through the paces on some..working out transitions, dynamics, etc...when you think about it, these are the FIRST ever playings of this stuff besides the recordings - they did have the Fillmore gig in Spring, but Hawking, etc..they work on the swell...it will kill you..Hawking has some devastating moments in it...Secret Society is too fast and you wonder why they would pick such tunes given the ensemble...Want of A Nail seems to sound more off the cuff than the others...the focus of this rehearsal was the vocals, but you can tell there are points still being polished.

The radio show may even contain parts of both shows. Produced by Lynssey Guerrero Production and engineering by Ray Hubbes Cline and Michael Jordan Mobile recording engineer: Dale Peters Concert material mixed by Todd Rundgren Executive producer Norm Paddiz 'propylaen2001' (Traders Den) notes: THE ANNOUNCER: Steve Downes, American disc jockey and voice actor...famous as the voice of MASTER CHIEF Petty Officer John-117 in the video game HALO. THE COMMERCIALS: Hey! That's Toots & the Maytals doing a Budweiser commercial! What a voice! THE VENUE: While announcer Steve Downes calls it "the Ritz in New York," this was recorded at the NEW RITZ, at 254 West 54th Street, New York City...the former site of STUDIO 54, the famous 1970's disco. The Ritz was at 119 East 11th Street from 1980 to April 1989...three miles away from where this was recorded. The revamped New Ritz opened on April 6, 1989, with a show by the Radiators. Capacity was about 3,000 seated and standing, roughly double that of the old Ritz. THE RECORDING CREDITS: First of all, Todd Rundgren actually mixed the show. It's unusual for an artist to mix their own syndicated concert. But take note of the recording engineer for Westwood One! It was DALE PETERS, from the James Gang! I found this about him out on the internet: "Dale is not only a musician, but a longtime recording engineer and at one time was Director of Remote Recording for Westwood One Network. Dale has engineered over 100 recordings and has done over 350 live recordings for artists such as Aerosmith, R.E.M., CSN, U2, The Police, Todd Rundgren, John Mellencamp, Jimmy Page, Don Henley, Neil Young, Roger Waters, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Peter Gabriel and Ozzie Osbourne. He was the recording and mixing engineer for the live television coverage for the Amnesty International Festival, Farm Aid; (1985-1990) and the Moscow Music Peace Festival; the first live satellite broadcast ever to originate from the Soviet Union. He also co-engineered Van Halen'sLive Without A Net; music video, the best selling long form music video at that time. Dale either recorded or mixed many of MTV's Unplugged concerts, and all of their Spring Break concerts during a five year period, and he recorded and mixed Madonna first live worldwide broadcast via satellite from the Orange Bowl." Dale has been awarded many gold records, an AMPEX Golden Reel Award and a Society for Communicating Arts Award for audio work performed throughout the country. He was awarded a Grammy Certificate for engineering the #1 Grammy winning song "Let It Whip" from The Dazz Band album "Keep It Live." Dale continues to play bass with the James Gang and is still writing, producing, sharing his knowledge and recording songs with other artists now at his own studio." |

Being they were on the fourth to last show of the tour, AND in Atlanta,the band is note perfect here. And lots of fun spots in here. Sadly, 'Mated' is faded out half way thru it. They had just added 'Waiting Game' to the set a couple of days before. Todd is incredible on his solo acoustic numbers. He call it the 'Ritchie Havens Part' because of the 20th year anniversary of Woodstock. A very 'bluesy' Hello It's Me'. This, will all the other above soundboards are ESSENTIAL to have in your collection~ Warren |

At this point, the tunes are more loose, and it’s regretful that some of these ended up so stilted on the end product....fascinating tradeoffs between Roger Powell and Vinnie on Love In Disguise…one of my faves... a discussion about a guy who ate whole hotdogs on Letterman...Todd and Michelle talk about Michelle falling for the fat guy…These are tough tunes to play...this by the way is almost one CD and the purported 7.12 thing is this again with some snippets of another shows rehearsal..If I Have To Be Alone is one of Todd’s great unknown songs.....this shows you how they put it together...super find in top sound...some distortion on vocals but for the most part its nice...~ Tony |

The Historian in Istvan, pointed out (and Todd mentions this in the show) that this is the first appearance of 'Jesse' in the civilized world! Todd wrote it two hours before the show.

Note:Holiday fun in Chi Town as was the custom in the 90s...great but loose set...members of 2nd Wind band...but playing stuff from last 2 tours...shows are different in bands for sure...band is oddly a mix of the 2 tours: Haskett…Strickland...Tagg...Urbano...Powell...Shandi...Michelle...Allred..Workman...very different Compassion...Can’t Stop Running races....and also fades...Gayas Eyes is an odd selection and one of Todd’s weaker tunes...Love In Action has Roger Powell solo — after which a joint is obviously passed...The Medley benefits from the looseness and Roger’s parts are sweet indeed...Feel It, however, does not benefit from the lack of tension...far too many notes played across the board...abrupt cut also...weird gate on snare-slapback...Todd gives a disclaimer...Todd announces "it’s Roger Powell!!!"...then the promoter/fan Joe Leonard pushes Urbano off the stand for Hello It’s Me in 6/8...Public Servant smacks of urban decay and alcohol buzz...very odd version, but I really like it all. ~ Tony |

PUBLIC SERVANT Note:Bonus new monitor/soundboard mix from 2nd Wind venue early on...Jesse’s solo on Love of the Common Man...the clapping kind of odd on these 2 A Cappella tunes...can really feel Prairie Prince as opposed to Urbano on Parallel Lines...Unloved Children – Todd’s guitar screams - very nice guitar playing...Prairie really kicks Change Myself into gear...it fades early...some slight warble at the start and one keyboard part is very high in the mix... (Sabino?) - also should say that Mingo is along for the ride on this show, and it really adds to the flavor....also Prairie is very rhythmically mature compared to the Nearly Human band..happily and monster version of Feel It...Prairie and Todd playing off each other in solo...super...on the car commercial song (2nd Wind) the guitars pan in the mix...Jesse’s and Todds in the center section...Public Servant is distortion city...in the solo Jesse quotes the Ikon.~ Tony |

PUBLIC SERVANT. Note:General: Some wow and flutter but pretty special show, balanced pretty well...Todd’s vocals pretty good this night...some great stuff this in show: Todd delivers some great adlibs to Who’s Sorry Now and I think although it was slower on the live track, it works better that way..Nevertheless the big surprise was what came next...I was there by the way visiting some friends studying at NYU.....to the intro of "…Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States, George Walker Bush…”, and then Dana Carvey does his thing...talks about how he and Barbara get hot when they listen to Love Science...then after a bit of him talking about Todd, then he goes into to the Church Lady and attacks the garb of the band, calling the gals 'assorted sluts over here.." it’s brilliant and an all time moment in live Todd history...superb versions of the A Cappella tunes follow...ace as well with Parallel Lines.....Jesse's solos in the holes are loud on CSR...one thing I'm not crazy about is the big sound of Prairie's snare on the 2nd Wind stuff, don’t know who's idea it was..the songs would have been way better in my opinion with a warmer sound, maybe a wood snare sound...that snare is throughout the album and this tour...my point can be best understood by checking out Ventura or Sacramento where the big snare is not there...big gate also on Change Myself...I like the feel of the 3 dance tunes better with Prairie Prince but Sabino's solos in Rock Love were a bit dry - so slow on the M. Gaye medley - it's great--a sweet Feel It as well..2nd Wind is very fast...him sounds so much more jazzy than the NH tour...Public Servant is just like your body sliding down a piece of steel for several stories face first...scalding and plodding by design... inches along...really important show here. ESSENTIAL. ~ Tony |

HELLO ITS ME. JESSE. PUBLIC SERVANT Note:General: mix omits Jesse at start...suggest to eq the highs...these shows are longer makes me think of the old metal 110s... tunes observations: tempo very slow on Love Science...some tape flutter on Real Man but settles in later in the tune....nice Mighty Love..Still love the deep soul thing Prairie Prince has on grooves of the 2 Nearly Human tunes...very very slow Unloved Children...great big drums on the M. Gaye thing..muffs on Rock Love intro...bowling banter abounds...exciting as hell…Feel It- Todd's guitar is off the cuff and the hook....nice pans on 2nd Wind guitar passage but some bends are flat...very vocal heavy mix on Want of a Nail...Public Servant is fricking stone metal slate rock...like a thick granite wall---Jesse’s leads are amazing on the out chorus........ another gemmy gem gem from these usual suspects!~ Tony |

Note:I love these 'One Offs' as you can tell. This tape transferred for me by Gil. The recording had lots of weaknesses. After I did allot of work on this one, it came out pretty well (I think). There was lots of stoned yap and moving around of the mic, and I tried to remove much of it. And I just couldn't get the bass present on a couple of tunes. But it is an acoustic performance. Audience noise just is what it is. Todd is playing a twelve string which required lots of tuning between tunes. But it's a tremendous short performance and a very fun listen. It's a very Rare tape that for sure. Worth a listen. And Thank You Gil Ireland-Ashley!~ Warren Players: Todd Roger Powell Byron Allred Jesse Gresse Lyle Workman Larry Tagg Prairie Prince |

One of a kind and important show. Crowd went crazy over Todd! If you have this video, it's a real 'keeper' too. Priceless.~ Warren |

| 2/29/92 | CLEVELAND AGORA STAR GUITAR BENEFIT | AUDIENCE | 43:00 |
| Date Added:1/13/2020 Track List:PRE-SHOW TALK. INTRODUCTION/LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. PLAY THIS GAME. HONEST WORK. CLICHE. THE WHEEL. JESSE. ONE WORLD. Note:I decided to transfer this age old tape from JEMS. Very good Audience Recording! I didn’t have to do any editing except leveling. A bit on the ‘Concert Hall’ sound. But great just the same; For it is Todd’s complete performance (including ‘One World’). In very small scribbling on the Tape's Track list is the word ‘mpeg’. So this could very well be the Soundtrack from a very good existing Video of the Show. |

| 4/17/92 | CHICAGO OAK THEATER | SOUNDBOARD | 69:59/56:36 |
| Track List:CD ONE: CLICHE'. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. LYSISTRADA. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. HONEST WORK. COMPASSION. SONG OF THE VIKING. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. WHAT'S GOING ON/MERCY MERCY ME. TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. BLACK MARIA CD TWO: A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL (END CUT). Note:Roger Steel does it again. A great transfer from this '92 one off show. Line up: Rundgren, Tagg, Workman, Powell and Prince. A little distant...you can hear a faint chant going on during some of the Wheel...this is more important history captured. This and Star Guitar Benefit were it in '92 (except Ringo and Utopia Redux). |

Note:By far the best sounding tape (audience recording) of the tour. At the end of this show, you'll hear Todd say "...We'll see ya when we get back from Japan..." But that didn't happen. Not a board, and does have some yap at a spot or two but it's the best...a landmark show. ~ Warren |

About 19 minutes in, he discusses the upcoming Japan Show with Utopia Reunion and material they've decided to perform. Todd discusses a little about a brand new Utopia Retrospective Video to be Released, in Japan, at same time as their appearance? |

PLAY THIS GAME.HIROSHIMA.(PARTIAL) LOVE IN ACTION.CARAVAN. LAST OF THE NEW WAVE RIDERS.ONE WORLD.LOVE IS THE ANSWER.JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Just found this cassette in the 'Archive’s here. Really good and very rare audience recording. It's always seems these audience recordings from Japan turn out so well because of the acoustics at their venues are prestine.And the fans are polite. No audience yapping and notice how their applause cresendos before and after each tune. Then pauses silently before the next song. Very noticeable and very cool. Believe me it's not a problem with my tape. A real treat here is the inclusion of 'Itch In My Brain'. Which jumps immediately into 'The Ikon' without hesitation (a medley of sorts). Sorry that 'Love In Action' is only partial. Must have been a tape flip? Anyway, I think ya'll are gonna love this! ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Courtesy of ‘Mgoldey’Traders Den. And He says, “This is a super-clear recording and sounds like a SBD with some ambient crowd noise mixed in. Therefore, In fact, listening casually, you might think it's a SBD feed that picks up the audience in the stage mics. What gives it away are the drums, which are a little too "airy" to have been mic'd and professionally mixed. But whatever you conclude, it's a great recording.” This a wonderful audience capture! Chastain really has some great acoustics for an open air Concert. All did I was add volume level. Soundboard sounding indeed. Like ‘Mgoldey’ said: a little heavy on one of the bass drums. I’d say this is our best Audience recording of 1992 Ringo’s All Starrs. AND I WAS THERE! I believe 1992 was Todd’s first ‘stint’ with Ringo (a month after the Utopia ‘Redux ‘92’ Tour. I like how they mixed the Ringo sets around in 1992. You’d ENJOY THIS! Also includes (Just in from Victor Baissait) a rough sounding Soundcheck.Thank You Victor!~ Warren Recording lineage: Source: FOB Schoeps (see note) > Oade pre-amp > DAT(s) Transfer: Sony PCM-R500 > Tascam DA-3000 Master: Wavelab 9.5 (tracking, fades +5dB level adjustments) > FLAC 1648 Ringo's 1992 All Starrs: Ringo Starr: drums, percussion, cowbell, vocals Joe Walsh: guitar, keyboards, talk box, bass drum, vocals Nils Lofgren: guitar, keyboards, accordion, vocals Todd: guitar, keyboards, drums, tambourine, vocals Dave Edmunds: guitar, vocals Timothy B.

| Date Added:8/7/2014 Track List:DISC ONE:I'M THE GREATEST.NO NO SONG.NO TIME (BURTON CUMMINGS).GIRL'S TALK (DAVE EDMUNDS).I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY (TIMOTHY B. SCHMIT).SHINE SILENTLY (NILS LOFGREN).BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY (TODD).DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.YELLOW SUBMARINE.BELIEVE(NILS LOFGREN). LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN (TODD) .KEEP ON TRYING (TIMOTHY B.

The Band: Ringo Starr. Tim Cappello. Burton Cummings. Dave Edmunds. Nils Lofgren. Todd. Timothy B. Schmit. Joe Walsh. Special Guest: Harry Nilsson Note:Another 1992 Ringo’s All Starr’s audience recording that just surfaced recently. And a pretty good recording. I think the Venue (Caesar’s Palace) acoustics had a lot to do with that. A different set this time. Todd does ‘Love of the Common Man’ as one of his three numbers. And Harry Nilsson guest appears here with a great version of ‘Without You’, which makes this one very special. This could use a little more bass though… which is easy enough to fix with just about any audio ‘ap’ out there.~ Warren |

Note:Just found this age old tape here in the Archives, and decided to do a digital transfer. So glad I did, for it’s a brilliant, super Rare, Audience Recording of a ‘One Off’ that Todd did for this Benefit Show with the help of Roger Powell, Lyle Workman, Prairie Prince and Larry Tagg! This Benefit also had the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Jackson Browne and Little Feat performing (not Recorded). This thing is ESSENTIAL!~ Warren |

Note:Istvan has encouraged me to go through Tony's Archives of Cassette Tapes to find some of these morsels. This is one he inquired about, so I dubbed the show and I'm so glad I did. No one has ever digitalized it, and I did, sent it to Istvan, and he re-mastered it, and tracked it. WOW! Another great Benefit Todd volunteered for. Marvin Gaye Medley particularly good here! Thank you Istvan for recent inspiration, encouragement and direction~ Warren |

MARVIN GAYE MEDLEY.LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. THE WHEEL. Note:Gil Ireland-Ahsley had sent me this transfer from an ‘Unmarked’ Cassette, neither of us knowing what it was. After a little research, I realized I had another source (Cassette) of this show, that Istvan had talked me into transferring (which I sent to Istvan. And he edited it awesomely and split the Tracks!). We never realized that one was not the complete Show. This source that Gil had sent me was the complete Show. All I did was edit it a very little and split the Tracks and it came out MARVELOUS! I have to admit that ‘The Wheel’ was incomplete and I spliced the end in with My/Istvan’s copy. This ‘One Off’ is ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:This in from Gil. Lost from our vaults until now. Great Audience Recording of The 'infamous' acoustic Show, when 'The Pod' Equipment & Computers failed to 'make the trip' to Tokyo in time for the 'No World Order' Show. We could do without the untranslated Master of Ceremonies' Banter. But fun due to the fact Todd played (also 'infamous')'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. Still ESSENTIAL. Thank you Gil!~ Warren |

FEVER BROKE SLOW VAMP. BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY. FEVER BROKE SLOW. WHAT'S GOIN' ON/MERCY MERCY ME. ONE WORLD. Note:The initial NWO stop. A great recording supplied by Jeff Gauss (Weavil). Probably the best of the four audience series by Jeff. But they are all very VERY good! As close to a soundboard type recordings as you could possibly get. Todd seems still a little preoccupied with how the pod is functioning here, but the sound is excellent. Lotsa guitar solos and he takes some chances (different solos than ususal). He points out the 49ers score too...chuckle chuck. These series of Jeff's recordings are some of the only few recordings that we have that are definitive/full NWO Tour shows. The 1994 stuff that we have, are really not the complete sets that he performed. Unfortunately, some performed tunes are omitted from those 'Pro-recordings'.~ Warren |

Note:This was a three night stand by Todd at The Park West (23rd, 24th & 28th). And I'm thinking that this is actually the Show performed on the 24th (I know it reads the 23rd above)?. More to come on this tour. This has some phasing probs in spots but still very clear (Jeff Gauss 'Weavil' captured two shows at The Park West).~ Warren |

FEVER BROKE Note:Another NWO smoker from the Jeff 'Weavil' Gauss series. TR-i has a guitar eruption during International Feel. He complains about people trying to steal his shit. Another ripper in Fascist Christ. Sounds great. Some very small probs, but all in all a great show. |

Note:The first audience or Pro recording that we have from 1994 and the NWO Tour (which began October 20 1993). Just now got around to transferring it to digital from my old cassettes. Another one recorded with my infamous Sony Walkman with an extra mic (as I did the Atlanta 1977, 1978, 1980, 1985 & 1987 Shows). This one didn't fare as well due to the venue (Yeah Warren, blame it on the venue). The venue was basically just an old big concrete floored dance/banquet metal building/hall...used by locals (Norcross GA) for Shriners and Hispanic gatherings. Those of you that are familiar with this tour, know that a majority of the shows were just the 'pod' centered in the arena. And all the audience was general admission 'standing'... as was this case...a lot of shoulder to shoulder bumping and shoving to get closer to Todd and the 'pods' gizmos, toys and props (as opposed to enjoyment of the music). I don't want to review the performance because it's awkwardness and my disapointment. The quality of the recording is what I would call 'fair' at best.Just for those 'completest' collectors of us.~ Warren |

Don't know who the taper was, but not a bad job. And they persistent to capture this whole day (four shows). These recordings are a straight dub from the cassettes...no EQing or anything. We didn't think they need it. They're strong, a little distortion in spots from level peeks and a little fiddling with the mics can be heard. And of course there's lots of audience yap...but that's what the ToddPod was all about. Nice audience offering and real keepers for posterity. This 3:00PM show may be the most distortion out of the bunch. Not annoying though.~ Warren |

Nice audience offering and real keepers for posterity. This 6:00PM Show was the longest out of the bunch, thus more (great) selection of tunes. You'll hear him in a couple of places taking requests! We all know that's rare, but maybe not so much for the NWO Tour audience participations. Todd's vocals are exceptional here and when picks up 'foamy' he's smokes it.~ Warren |

We didn't think they need it. They're strong, a little distortion in spots from level peeks and a little fiddling with the mics can be heard. And of course there's lots of audience yap...but that's what the ToddPod was all about. Nice audience offering and real keepers for posterity. At this last 12:00AM show, He says at the beginning, "...don't worry, we'll get you out of here in time for Aerosmith so you can hear a the dude dressed like a lady..."Probably the lesser quality of the four shows. This time, TR's mics are too close to his mouth (what it sounds like to me it's almost in his mouth) I think. So I don't think it's the tapers machine.TR is smokin' on the guitar here (as usual) for Proactivity and Black & White. No World Order cuts out, so we don't know if that was the last tune. Very short set if it was. But these are all ESSENTIAL.~ Warren |

INTERNATIONAL FEEL.SECRET SOCIETY. CHANT. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. TINY DEMONS. BANG ON THE DRUM. Note:This supreme rarity was done by a very good friend of mine (that shall remain nameless). He worked feverishly on it. It was culled from the 1994-10-07 BBC Broadcast and various other sources that someone may still hold the rights to. So this could very well not be shared and is for the time being it is entered here solely for archival purposes. It is not to be confused with 1994-10-06 London Forum show which appears on 2002 Sanctuary Records Group Series VOl 1CMEDD5559 and is still available at some on-line retail site (at a very expensive price I might add). Go buy it. Support the Artist.It is a very different setlist. But most of you Toddheads already own it. This piece provided to me is an excellent editing and the sound is marvelous. A real showcase of the ToddPod, the action and the fun. I am very proud to have been included to put it in these ‘Archive’. WOW. Should at some time this be ‘tradeable’ you be the first to knoe~ Warren |

Acoustics/instrumentation pretty good but vocals sound distant and bassy. Shame too, because you can feel the energy that Todd always portrays for Philli. This show rocks! If the vocal phonics were up there, this would be a real collector's trophy. Maybe someday somebody may want to play around with it... and give her an upgrade. Any takers that can bring the vocals to the front? The Mystified/Broke Down & Busted Medley is ELECTRIC! Then there's tape slips and snaps/pops here and there in it. Damn it! A special collector's gem I also have here is the soundcheck! This is super rare! Don't know who the taper was....Thanks to Frank Bubnick for my copy. A little jam of pieces of 'Individualist' tunes, then 'Black & White' and 'Family Values'.~ Warren |

Great Individualist set. Atlanta just loves this guy, you know. Only problem is, we shout out requests. You know too how that goes with Todd. Blistering guitar here (and a lot of Jesse). And notice Todd threw in 'Lucky Guy'. AWESOME. The Theatre is like a very steep movie theater. I was a few rows back from the stage center right. The guy next to us pretty much ruins Mystified/Broke Down & Busted' with his screaming. Todd introduces Jesse as 'The Exterminator'? Thank you Mike!~ Warren |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:This one is certain to make a big splash in the traders circuit… this in my mind is one of faithful taper Brian Welsh's best and thanks to Sara we now have it on CD...and what a killer jolt to remind you of the power of Todd... the show has a strange order to the tunes that really restrains, then suspends, then expands, and explodes energy at a very high level of craft...one of these nights that show the planets do align...Prairie Prince is dancing in the clouds all night with power and finesse..Pushing the band with little fills in the creases....Jesse is amazing on the closer mystified. And what a circus it is at this point...Larry Tagg really gives the band an almost metal bottom end with his 72 Fender driving...his playing, especially on CD 2 is a revelation...I don’t think many fans heard these recordings of his latter gigs with Todd...he is a lot more confident and feels loose enough to play more runs than heard on the east coast run... sound quality of this is as good as it gets....still this one, is an absolute electronic ecstatic assault....their performance is monster although Todd’s voice was a bit rough, he ground it out...and it kills...my only complaint here is that if WWE could have been a bit slower (i.e.,...New Britain)…they may have levitated the building- other than that, this is a great place to rest your head.....monster performance...~ Tony |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY (BARELY CUTS IN) Note:Another Individualist show from the scorching 95 tour…middle one of the 3 Texas shows performance is not quite up to the other 2 nights (esp Austin)..Commentary about Mary Kay cosmetics convention...a bit boxy sound-wise...could use some fine noise reduction but never will be like 8/4, kind of detached as opposed to the other nights, but it’s impossible to bleed like the 8/4 and 8/6 every night...some yap here…but It’s quite good, not legendary like I think 8/4 will become~ Tony |

Note:Another great one from the huge state of Texas, the sound is a bit less than 8/4 and the performance is very close. On this recording, there are super takes of: Family Values, Tables, No 1....lots of great and funny banter this night...such as ..."don’t eat your seed", "veritable swag fest", "panic stricken local band"… 22 min version of Myst/BD & B…this one believe it or not (doesn't happen often) needs some bass boost....very very nice complete show~ Tony |

Note:What a wonderful Treat. Two Soundboards of 'The Individualist Live' at the Fillmore!. Gil sent me his partial of each show (transfers from cassettes). So I searched my Archives, and found Tapes of not only the missing portions, but apparently low generation recordings of the full Soundboards. I do not believe that these rarities are in 'circulation' anywhere. All I did was dub my tapes and split Tracks. Having said all that, the August 27 Show is probably the weakest; for some tunes Todd's Guitar is not out front. Something with his monitors. You hear him before 'Family Values' where he actually commented about what a Fan was saying about it. His monitor is good on some tunes, but others; not so much. And really, there was nothing that I could fix. It still an incredible Recording though! And August 26th is brilliant (even has 'Lucky Guy'!). I love this Tour! Here in Atlanta, he tore the roof off 'The Roxy'!. I made a 4 CD Presentation of these two dates (See Below 8/27/95). THESE ARE ESSENTIAL!~ Warren |

Todd does a real cool strident pedestrian beat version of One World with Prairie that changes the whole feel of the song- same with the Wheel (which Larry had to learn again onstage here)-chaos on Bang On The Drum, of course...Todd’s voice is croaking at the end of The Wheel , but Jesse's leads on it take the song into a whole new place and are really something special here. Sound quality- not flawless but a damn good audie for a Holiday one off at the Agora.~ Tony |

Note:This left coast ‘one off’ shows Todd with Prairie, Vince, Larry for a rough unrehearsed fun run thru of the above tunes-Vince being the dead dude (guitar-wise) by now made for some interesting textures in familiar places like during the Todd solos of No 1 Lowest Common Denominator, Secret Society, etc, some chaos, some wild endings…This was Todd's last solo show before the move and his very last was the bonus stuff here w/ vwb. Bang has Todd on electric guitar! Peaks of "feel it" burn, but this is the worst Love of the Common Man you’ll ever hear.-wrong fret thing was happening to Todd...this is not like a board-it has some yap and some varied sound quality but it is listenable always-could use someone to edit some yap out of it- it’s not yap to the point of being annoying but to the contrary, very enjoyable and one of a kind for sure.~ Tony |

MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN & BUSTED (PART TWO). WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:Here’s a little explanation of what have here from Jon Babcock (And thank you Jon for your hard work!): “Another mess here, salvaged by cassettes supplied from Anthony Rogers & Frank Bubnick. There are 3 tapes! There are no less than THREE tapes from NYC'96! Three Three Three! And not a DAT amongst 'em! The best of them came from cassettes sent to Tony R, the 3rd source from Frank B. All 3 ran through a (Teac) Esoteric Cassette deck, then through the SBM-1 and were brought onto the mac hard drive with the Onkyo SE-U55. Each one was a different capture from a different place in the crowd, but ONE of them had that rich old "mic onstage" sound. Unfortunately, it had a LOT of problems, and not the problems that can be solved by moving sliders on a PC-based interface "studio". The volumes fluctuated wildly in spots, there were dropouts, and overloaded spots, and a few unfortunate cuts. But it sounded SOOOO good! I worked overtime on this, fiddling with the volume knobs as much or more than the original taper must have. The result needed only a few patches from the other sources and has quite a few traces of fiddling, but it will blow your speakers away if you let it. All of the tapes had tape flips in Hammer, but in slightly different spots. Tape Source 1was adjusted heavily and used for the bulk of this, with slight patches from the other sources. Tape Source 2was used for the patches. Tape Source 3 was used for 1 tiny little patch only. I forget exactly where. The tape flip in Mystified/BB&B isn't really a flip, but the recorder messing with the levels and there are overloads and then the tape and the recorder gets shut off for a few seconds. That's why it's in 2 parts. There was just nothing to patch in there. I remember Black & White being the first encore, but it's tough to tell what happened here. Finally, NO EQ was used on these sources. They are raw the way the field equipment made them. All that's happened to the sound, is the Super-Bit-Mapping and the speed CXing.” ~ Jon |

Cliché is probably the worst all time version of this tune. Jessie plays an amazing solo on beloved infidel. Playing is hot and the show is not as bad as I remember on 2nd listen... Todd just simply blew out the pipes the night before in NYC and this is what was left...a unique show and unfortunately for all of US DC area fans...His last stop at the legendary Bayou (it is now gone....)~ Tony |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. THE WHEEL. RADIO ADVERTISEMENT FOR THIS SHOW. Note:One of the most recent radio broadcasts. Todd was still doing his Individualist solo stuff and his problems with the piano were almost at a peak here. The aborted version of CWSBF is pretty strange, given that he was going out live as he couldn’t remember how it went. The rest of the show was not really affected by the blunder, but most of us heads recognize that this broadcast is one of the reasons why Todd has rarely played piano live since this time. The later 97-98 solo tours saw him bring along Jessie and rely on keys less and less. Nevertheless, this show is a modern classic and it is always a special show when Todd plays the rock and roll capitol and the fans really get an inspired performance. He doesn’t play keys that bad on the whole and comes back with a perfect version of CWSBF on encore. The dog story tells about his new dog that was eating him literally out of house and home in his first months in Hawaii.~ Tony |

I'M SO PROUD/OH BABY BABY.I WANT YOU.A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER.OUTRO.BEAN OUTRO Note:I sent the tapes of all this (seven various cassettes!) to Jon Babcock, and he transferred them into a few different formats for us. Basically, the tapes were Tony’s (with help from Lisa B.) of the Broadcast ‘Live’ and a ‘Pre-show Interview’, then a ‘Re-Broadcast’ from a later date. Most of it was Mono. Jon transferred it ALL to digital and patched, polished & edited it to a couple of 24/48 formats. With his talents this is one of the finest WAT recordings that we have here in the vaults. Todd and The TIKI Lounge Band in rare form, and Todd is unleashed with his banter and humor between the music. Thank you JON!~ Warren Here’s a great review from The Hollywood Reporter!: Hollywood Reporter - Mon., Nov. 3, 1997) House of Blues, L.A. Saturday, Nov. 1 By John Lappen "Was that one olive or two, Mr. Rundgren? Taking the, by now, overhyped and overdone lounge trend to its inevitable conclusion, Todd Rundgren has become the ultimate space age, bachelor pad hipster. To wit: The pop icon's new Guardian/EMI release, "With A Twist," features 11 of his best known songs redone as lounge homages. But even better, Todd's nearly three-hour performance was a masterful satire, albeit a reverential one, of the entire lounge experience. With a set constructed to look like a tropical lounge bar on some exotic island locale -- complete with palm trees, tables filled with touristy patrons, a sassy waitress and a bored bartender -- Rundgren and his four-piece band played the part of the weary, done-this-too-many times house band. As his talented quartet broke into a tune oozing with Tiki vibe, Rundgren entered through a beaded curtain dressed in a shiny, loungey-but-not-polyester suit and wrap-around shades. For the first hour, the Runt entertained with bossa nova versions of Rundgren standards like "I Saw The Light," "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" and "Can We Still Be Friends," playing entirely to his onstage audience instead of the sold out house in the real club. In between, he sipped martinis and reeled off a bunch of cheesy jokes about the people in the faux lounge, inquiring of one couple, "Are you married or just looking to get a room?" It all worked brilliantly, particularly the lending of his pop classics to the primarily bossa nova style in which they were revamped. Taking a break while a comic came out to tell jokes, make sound effects and fully utilize his suitcase of silly props, Rundgren and band came back for the second set, a much more energized one with Todd dressed in garish native costume and face paint. The songs in this set were a melding of lounge and jazz filtered through Rundgren's trademark Philly soul as his high vocals soared atop the Martin Denny-meets-Marvin Gaye arrangements. As the last "drunk" was evicted from Todd's lounge, he closed with a beautiful rendition of "A Dream Goes On Forever," perfect sentiments for any lounge lizard.” |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER Note:Nice to wake up this memory from István-this is a very early on show-where the vocals were still being worked out and are not confident, but the whole vibe is being tested out here in Hromoko land. Fidelity is started over- way too fast...Todd makes a comment about how "cully from x files doesn’t get him up because she breathes through her mouth"...ha....a "bucket-head" reference...mix- the bck vcs are low, Jesse is also very low in the mix..But what a show...You can hear how the synth thing made its way onto this scene at the start-long before the extreme monster it once became....thanks to Istvan |

Nevertheless this is a peek into the peak of the Tiki tour...sound is very decent but there are some better from this tour, sound wise...~ Tony |

A "Channel Surfing" November Show…being the 1st half solo and then joined by Jesse and Ferenzik for the Bossa Nova type stuff. Kind of an ‘Unplugged’. Lots of lyrical and cue mistakes throughout. Todd doesn’t seem very serious about this performance either. He’s not the perfectionist we all know and love here. It seems he wants to respond to each ‘heckler’…talk rather than keep it to the performance.

Todd’s guitar playing was special on this tour. still looking for that show that was filmed by Ringo in Connecticut- that is where everyone said Todd brought down the roof...this show captures the tour well...a great job as usual...ESSENTIAL.~ Tony |

BOYS. BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY. WHITE ROOM. WHITER SHADE OF PALE. PHOTOGRAPH. YELLOW SUBMARINE. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS. Note:This audie is another (slightly truncated) version of the show. The quality is not bad but the yap factor is high-since this is barely over a single 80-it should probably be shaved to one CD and rid some between song banter. This is good if you were there but I would go with 3/6 over this for quality-the performance is a slight improvement over the 3/6 but the sound quality isn’t even close to 3/6, which I feel is still clearly the superior version. If you are a big fan of the other artists, chances are there are more good recordings from this tour from the Beatles/Ringo crowd.~ Tony |

HAMMER IN MY HEART. Note:This show was captured early in the tour. Todd’s voice and other vocals are clear but the sound is a bit distant due to the house sound/mix. Still a good recording and neat set list with Train included (sounded good 3 piece). As with the tour, Surf Talks is a momentum killer. This is a good one for an early status check. |

Note:This is another listenable audie from KC - performance is decent. sound -there is some yap. You’ll want this if you were there but there are probably a few better than this sound quality wise-this tour produced a lot of people wanting it all...It was a pretty cool tour.

Note:Long after the fact-this really nice set comes in from Jamie Slatterty - where was it all this time? really nice recording-devoid of all yap and fairly well mixed -although Todd could be louder (gtr. wise)-like the other shows- but this something special and all who collect the better sounding shows from this tout will want this one-one thing that makes this special is the inclusion of hit me like a train which was rarely performed on this tour. In my opinion, it worked much better than the Surf Talks (which was a train wreck...) which is not here. Pretty tight for very early on. Nice one here.~ Tony |

This sounds to me like it was recorded near a balcony with very little talk at all. The Band was starting to cook and background vocals are getting there/on the verge of arrival....this is another to hold us until Todd gets the recordings of Chicago, Anaheim, etc... into our hands...~ Tony |

The sound obviously was very good and balanced in the Cat. You may know John's work from the Seattle ‘98 solo shows...this one really sounds super. The Band is starting a fire... |

ONE WORLD. THE IKON. HAMMER IN MY HEART. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:Super fine DAT audience recording done by somebody who really knows how to do it. Very clear - good balance- good show-and little audience chatter. Note that ‘Hit Me Like A Train’ is still in the set at this time. It’s great that finally this tour has a good number of great sounding/recorded audience shows and this is one of the special ones. Although an audience recording, We get the whole show here, as opposed to the Pro - version official awsome DVD by Image Management which is very much available through on-line houses such as Amazon This DVD is ESSENTIAL for any Todd Fan. Grab it! Support the artist!~ Warren |

YER FAST. TEMPORARY SANITY. THE IKON.OPEN MY EYES CD TWO: CLICHE'. BANG ON THE UKE ALL DAY. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. BUFFALO GRASS. ONE WORLD. HAMMER IN MY HEART. THE SURF TALKS. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:Another great sounding result. This evidently was a poorly attended affair as Todd says before he plays a note:"the people are sure taking their time to fill the place up...” nonetheless, Todd and co plays a charged show and so charged that they restart train again. Train was gone after this but if you listen to the CDrs it actually sounds good 3 piece (better than 1/2 twist versions). However, Surf Talks continues to be a momentum killer (as there just is not enough live playing on it to make it work). Those items said, this was a high energy and excellent show captured beautifully. One of the better recordings of the tour. This was the show that Kaz broke his foot, and then appeared at Jaxxs with a cast that was placed on his foot at a DC area hospital on the 20th.~ Tour |

Note:Barry Beseigel has rescued this show in my collection. His version here is a significant upgrade of this first east Trio show from my master. This is a good show but Todd's guitar still is a bit low and the system did not provide a great sound that nite but Barry’s is still a strong recording and is the first fully "gimped" Kaz show.~ Tony |

HAMMER IN MY HEART. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:This well attended free show was captured on DAT by my bud Jim Farrell. Jim has done a number of great northeast captures for years now. Sound is good. Hall sound is present and big but not too distant. Very enjoyable. Again this show has a small problem in places where trey is the loudest and Todd's gtr. is too low (as was the big challenge on this tour for tapers). The order is a little different here and the yap factor is very low which is amazing considering the reports of chaos that I heard from others who attended this free show. Another fine job by Jim.~ Tony |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:This sounds about as good as a minidisc can do given the limitations of the tour. What I mean is the consistency of Todd gtr. being mixed too low, only 3 instruments in the mix and trey, who is a hard as hell hitter. Nevertheless, this is not bad. Btw, talked to Todd after the show and he told Cherry and I about the plans for Patronet to possibly have a recorded thing from this tour... this performance is reserved and confident- better than what we have from DC and the sound was better at this venue which was small and caverny...bonus is the "surreal (quote: Kurt s)" CNBC show where the band plays during a business and investment TV lunch show. The show essentially played a 2 hr inquiry into which other guest was a former Todd drummer. Kevin Ellman proves he's been into investments since he left for Beefsteak Charlie’s in ’75… tries to keep up but obviously doesn’t know the 4 piece Utopia arrangement played on the show...enjoy. This was recorded for later broadcast in Toronto. Sound is clear. ~ Tony |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:Here’s a late comer I got from Eddie from Germany...not real bad recording but what is troublesome is the lack of low end- many times the bass is not audible and that means trouble when you have a 3 piece... if you were there you should have it cause it’s not that bad really of you crank up the low end (maybe someone can re-EQ??) but there are many better -but not a bad performance-on the whole, solos were about par for a Trio show...~ Tony |

HAMMER IN MY HEART. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:This was recorded by Marc Linovitz via mini-disc who did a great job here. You can hear some distance/larger hall size but what is important is that Todd’s gtr. is at a pretty good audible level the whole night. The first few tunes were not included but otherwise this is a solid recording and a decent performance by Todd and gang. Too bad it took the dudes this many shows to figure out Todd gtr. Should be louder...~ Tony |

BUFFALO GRASS. ONE WORLD. THE IKON. OPEN MY EYES. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:Another come in after the bell from Mark Levine. This is very good and would be right about smack in the upper middle quality wise and performance a bit higher. Jessie came onstage and stayed from Mystified thru No 1 Lowest and again at the encores....let me specifically state that No 1 Lowest is absolutely the best I heard on this tour not only because of Jessie’s sparse playing but mainly because his presence freed up Kasim to get off and Kaz takes the song where it hadn’t been before with his playing...Anyhow, Ikon is a duel as expected with the Whiskey Train riff splashed liberally around. Good one with Todd exerting and playing good for family and friends.~ Tony |

OPEN MY EYES. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:Great sound system made a good show better. Todd was loose and let it all out ala Pittsburgh 99. Playing guitar a lot looser. Jessie shows up for the last 3. Really pretty fine and inspired performance. Todd even bore down an bit extra on the Ikon and then Jessie gets a solo as well and shows a little influence from what he’s been doing recently with Levin’s band...vocs really great... some throat probs but Todd grits it through on key ..."lunatic fringe, I know you’re out there". This one's pretty decent for an audience. |

BANG ON THE UKE DAILY CD TWO: TRAPPED. BLACK AND WHITE. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. BUFFALO GRASS. ONE WORLD. YER FAST. OPEN MY EYES. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:For exposure purposes, the most important gig of the tour. As Todd says, a half million people were there and about the place and Todd was the headliner. Actually about close to half were tuned in at the start and probably 50-100k paid attention thru the end. They did not allow the crowd into a gated area in front of the stage (reserved for radio winners and only about 1/3 full)-Todd refers to it, people are yelling constantly "open the gate". Probs with taping here were: outdoor gig (no walls), inability to get close, yap all around (Roger Steel and I were near the board for best sound), lighting system crashes (many people panicking/scrambling). All that being said, this turned out pretty good. Todd had 90 min to do his thing and so, the show was slightly truncated. Sound was pretty good for outdoors. Crowd response was large on several numbers and Todd does a good job of picking out the tunes/pacing. Someone from the record company needs to take advantage of this and sell some records! Upon leaving, it was hard to believe that Todd played for that large of a crowd (it took forever to walk thru the sea of people there to leave)...~ Tony |

OPEN MY EYES. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:Super capture by Mark Steinberg w/o much talk at all. Hot show and yes, he plays Love In Action two times. No matter- each is great...the set gets a little standard on this 2nd leg but this is another great sounding show from this tour. Todd really plays wilder and wilder gtr leads as the tour goes on. ESSENTIAL~ Tony |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:This was recorded by our buddy Hiroshi Kawauchi. This was a hot show. As with other tapes at open airs, there are the loud ones in the crowd but this show makes up for it. This one is probably the best one out there now. A hot show/ hot gtr. / slightly ragged voice.-a great show near the end.~ Tony |

SECRET SOCIETY. TINY DEMONS. BANG ON THE UKE DAILY. CD TWO: TRAPPED. FIX YOUR GAZE. HAMMER IN MY HEART. BUFFALO GRASS. ONE WORLD. THE IKON. OPEN MY EYES. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:This was recorded too hot- Todd's voice does distort upon effort. Merely a place holder till we get a hold of another. Barry help me...music is great but the vocals get too hot on peaks...great crowd response. Nutzo crowd as well. Barry has come thru. His recording is superior to what I have, but unfortunately shows how much of the problem the house sound was...You had to feel it...the last full show ever????~ Tony |

IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE (GUEST VOCS: PATTI RUSSO). ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE Note:Ah, my man Smash comes thru with this excellent audie from April 01. Kazim delivers a personal performance that is well played and sung. He talks a lot about Utopia and brings his meat mate up for a gtr duet on IWHMAD. Set Me Free is also a gtr tune-real unique and a beautiful finale of Lennon's Across The Universe. This is simply a great new audience recording/snapshot of where the man is now.~ Tony |

IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. FREE MALE AND 21. HOUSE CARPENTER. BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. I SAW THE LIGHT. YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. TINY DEMONS. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS (CUTS). CD TWO: SLUT, #1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. HAWKING. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL. Note:Nice solo show where Todd does a few new things. The WV Gals (which btw, I don’t appreciate at all) and House Carpenter come from his days before Harry Smith/Willner thing. BDAB is by itself as well as slut. Please get this from carol (who has a nice page of Todd stuff as well) and is a great long time Todd fan-it’s nice to have some company here. The show is a little rough as you’d expect but really nice to hear him out there doing his thing again (but it would be nice for OH to add some new piano songs-these are still the same as we’ve been digging since his first 81 tour...)~ Tony |

This may have been one of the better shows captured but there is a good bit of talk through the show that is distracting, yells, etc. it is decent in quality save for that fact-sound is actually good when no yap happens. This is special cause it includes the Steve Luongo performed "You Can’t Do That" which vanished by the time it hit the east coast days later. ~ Tony |

You can hear them figure out I Wanna Hold...as well as the inclusion of Let It Be which vanished soon thereafter-you can see the different running order as well. Not much yap here-this is good-they were still working out the kinks, but by champion, pa-the list would be set. Thanks to Dennis Donahue for info. |

Note:This first in offering from this tour only excludes a great version of OME. However, sound is strong and the performance is excellent. Vocs (esp background) in the show are strong. Todd’s goofball comments add the levity. He and Ann Wilson make a great pair with the banter. Clearly it’s the Todd and aw show-Ann can simply sing her or anyone else's ass off. Todd sings most of the Beatles set but gtr weeps is the shit-great Todd leads. Many more to come-this is a tour not to miss- don’t just nab the CD, go to a show-the Beatles (no matter what anyone says) were clearly the greatest band ever and this tour only accentuates that fact. Catch it while you can-too late tomorrow...Much better (in my opinion) than Ringo's Greatest overplayed hits tours-these are the Beatles (actually Todd calls them the "dumb Beatles") |

TINY DEMONS. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL Note:Special note on this one by my Partner Jeff 'Weavil' Gauss: “Private Party at CLB's in Kenosha on 7/4/1, this will be the FIRST full-sharing of my SBD MASTER cassette...YEP, the show with me backing up Todd on "Mystified" and TR playing my axes running thru my pedals and '66 Fender Bassman amp while singing into my Sure 58 mic and P.A. This is taken directly from my Yamaha MT120 Multi-TRack cassette tape recorder, to Maxell UD-XL II using built-in dbx, atop my P.A. Head-which fed the stereo signal to the Deck. It was played back on this same Deck directly into Cakewalk, using gold ends, in 2008 at The Lizardz' Old Den. NO EQ-ing/normalizing/or ANY digital treatment or manipulation...sTRaight-up! Very intimate affair on July 4 of last year... talks loosely but aims to please-the keyboard is not satisfactory for the purposes then TR turns to the gtr...nice one off. Yes...I've somehow waited this long to bust out this beauty as digital flies. The CD saw the light of day by a close few. Greatest Day Ever!"~ Jeff The story goes that CLB and Weavil (& others) actually intercepted Todd (while he was in Chicago) to come out to CLB's home in Kenosha. They gathered about a hundred people at $100 a pop and Jeff and some others provided the equipment and the sound. And off it went! This is indeed a 'greatest day' as Jeff put it.~ Warren |

Note:So The Who guy talks to the Todd guy and we discover another great AWDAR show- as a benefit we get this real strong audie from Chicago that stands well against all AWDAR shows. The performance was strong and it sounds like a fun time in chi-town...This tour is exactly the same except for a few quips in between songs but for those who were there-you need this-another real strong AWDAR show from the Who contingent- Thanks John!~ Tony |

It Poured Rain The Whole Show. I Had My Dat Deck Inside My Fanny Pack Around My Waist And Had No Problems With The 1st Set. At The Start Of The 2nd Set,I Put The Deck Into Record PAUSE Mode And Forgot To Unpause The Deck, Which Caused It To Turn Off After A Few Minutes. I Didn't Notice It To The End Of The Beatles Set(A Little Hard To Try And Check On Your Recording When Its Inside Your Fanny Pack During Torrential Rain In My Opinion).

Note:This is a clear show further down the tour road in front of at least 10k folks in the big shed-a far cry from the intimacy of the earlier shows. The place was pretty full. This is an upgrade to the listing of mine earlier in the year. Sound is still from a big hall but this is not as distant as the previous listing. Not much yap at all. Sound is strong and the performance is excellent. Vocs (esp background) in the show are strong. Same comments-Todd steals the Beatles set again and I heard a number of non Toddites conceding the fact in the aisles after the show. This is complete and there will be a few more still coming in. Thanks always to Mark who always does a superb job and this is another in that line of fine recordings.~ Tony |

Note:The first two versions I got of this were average audies especially compared to the others around but a big Entwhistle/Who fan John Hughes traded notes with me and we discovered this superior version of Westbury-this is. Clearly a cut above the other two versions floating around-this one stands up well against em all and has very little talk and sound is strong. Very good recommended version from John.~ Tony. |

SONG OF THE VIKING. COMPASSION. FREE MALE AND 21. HOUSE CARPENTER. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. LUCKY GUY. CD TWO: LADY MADONNA. I WANT YOU. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL. Note:Wow. Back to back dates. The shows are typical of the last so many years with the addition of the 2 Harry Smith tunes (WV guys suck, you say??). This show was a little rushed due to the Abbey show later that night--Jesse plays in Bossa style-Lady Madonna was totally off the cuff (repeated in NYC). The piano gets rougher and rougher as time goes on. Soon we will have gtr shows only or he will be forced to practice to even get thru the same tunes we’ve heard for years-since this is a two-off, we can’t be too picky I guess. He did kick major ass on the Abbey shows-so whatdaya want??? I tell you what-there are few, if any folks who consistently deliver as good of quality as Mark Steinberg. Ggreat sound with no distortion and little to zero yap.~ Tony |

LUCKY GUY. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. I WANT YOU. ONE WORLD. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. THE WHEEL. HAWKING. Note:The second part from Mr. S. Even better sound, better performance. Some different songs but the piano is the same. Jesse is super-Todd sings well....btw, I believe the House Carpenter is one of the best things Todd’s done in years-it just fits his voice and style so well over the wash of sound from (I assume) foamy. Much better than the day before and a longer show to boot. Another Mark' s masterpiece.I think this also now available as a full 'Jewel Case' presentation at TR Bazaar as well.~ Tony |

Note:This is simply THE best one out there -delivered late but never too late. This is simply recorded by great equipment from a good friend who does this stuff for a living. It is an outside show-not a board but as good of an audience job as can be done in an outdoor show. Simply superb. In fact-the recording is so good that it shows the troupe's harmonies are wavering and a bit sloppy in places but jeez they are copying the fab four in the studio and many songs which they never played live-performance is on par with the others.. A little better than usual but somewhat ragged and towards the end of the us line. Dont miss this one. ESSENTIAL-PRO JOB |

HEY JUDE. BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT/THE END Note:This believe it or not has been passed around probably as widely as any AWDAR recording out there. what a shame because although the performance is good, the sound is one of the weaker from this tour with a higher level of yap than most and not as good fidelity as say, Brooklyn, Saratoga or most of the others..When will people stop trying to sell this crap? I’m sure if you go to your $25-$30 bootleg store, they’ll have this and people who buy it will probably be marginally satisfied as it’s not that bad-it’s just that there are several better ones-but this is the one that shows up where they sell this stuff. Please don’t give these guys any of your money-if any money is to be exchanged, it should go to the artists-anyone who thinks differently (I think) is simply wrong and greedy and that is the problem that ruins everything for everyone. Sorry to rant, this CD is average. But there are numerous highlights to mention-first of all-the night was recorded professionally and that’s why there are a couple of false starts when Todd and Ann forget the words to While My Guitar... And Maybe I’m Amazed.... also the Jeopardy theme precedes Bang On The Drum......my suggestion is to roll off the bass when you get this (Entwhistle's rumble. RIP) and it opens up nicely...if you want this show-get this version for sure......and don’t buy bootleg Todd stuff, OK??????? Thanks to Mr. W~ Tony |

IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. THE ONE SURE THING. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE. ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. ONE WORLD. Note:This is stunning recording of the 1st short jaunt of 01 and it pleases big time. the set list differs from the Zigs- Kaz is talking to the crowd about sales of 1st LP, he has a new gtr that strings are slipping on, his voice is a bit worn and he is alone (no Doug)-he doesn’t seem to know the words to one world but who cares...it was a fun little show where Kaz was testing out the waters for his current solo jaunt-recording was flawless and sounds unedited. Super find from Mr. G who has habit of getting some good stuff out there-thanks Jeff...This one is hot.~ Tony |

| Date Added:11/13/2001 Track List:CD ONE: LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. I DONT WANT TO TIE YOU DOWN. LYSISTRADA. CLICHE'. SONG OF THE VIKING. COMPASSION. FREE MALE AND 21. I SAW THE LIGHT. INFLUENZA. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. MATED. HAMMER IN MY HEART. CD TWO: LOVE AND WHITE. BLACK AND WHITE(ABORTED). SLUT. NEVER NEVER LAND. HELLO ITS ME. FIDELITY. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. I WANT YOU. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. HAWKING. Note:Another good one for this first nite of the tour. A little rough in places and inclusion of Hello It's Me as well as Fidelity (wish we would hear this live on keys solo like 96-97)- enjoyable as Todd is as acerbic and fearless in the face of the scare about 3 Mile Island and the closure of the Harrisburg airport the day of the show. Another show, strong sound from the venue-another good one.~ Tony |

THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. ONE WORLD. LOVE IN ACTION. I WANT YOU. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. HAWKING. Note:Mark aces the Jaxxsville and delivers probably the most noise free and possibly the best recording of Todd I’ve heard pulled from this challenging venue. The show is a little better than Harrisburg but as you can see the list has changed barely from the night before. Good show- the encores are spirited-another one to get from this short jaunt. Lots of tunes this night. No Wheel, yes Hawking.~ Tony |

HAMMER IN MY HEART. TINY DEMONS. LOVE IN ACTION. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. I WANT YOU. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:Wow-three good versions of this show have been had- I give the nod to Barry’s as being the best mostly due to completeness and pretty much no yap at all. The other 2 version are both very good recordings. The show is pretty good- he did have this new mp3 going on. LIA sounds weird solo gtr wise but what the hell we’ve heard No 1 Lowest solo, so... not as bad as people would say-some new key songs would’ve been nice but this is probably the most enjoyable and least jarring show I’ve heard from this tour..(Then again this is the first I’ve had to miss for a long time) recommended-great job by all 3.~ Tony |

FIDELITY. LOVE IN ACTION. SLUT. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. I WANT YOU. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. HAWKING. Note:Very clear DAT recording that is virtually bereft of any yap. Good place to record-it almost sounds sheltered. another fine one by Roy G. as you know, this was the first show post-Allentown meltdown-so he mentions it and rebounds nicely-set list the same-safe-same piano tunes-he was pretty on this night -would have been nice to hear the House Carpenter song again. This is a very good DAT recording. More to come soon. At least he pasted some different things together here- even though I’ve been harsh sometimes, I don’t think this is that bad-his piano is actually way above the average lately on this one. |

FIDELITY. LOVE IN ACTION. SLUT. ONE WORLD. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. I WNAT YOU. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:Smash comes in with a nice recording from a decent show. There is a bit of talk and rumble of audience throughout as is the custom in NYC but the sound is real nice-the show is not that bad-id heard that this one was weak but the CDs prove otherwise-actually the piano portion is not bad at all and Todd’s voice was rough to start but comes around as the show moves along.~ Tony |

Note:Hiroshi clocks in with this super clean audience from the Japan leg. As you can see, the set list is significantly shortened on the solo end (Todd just does HIM) but it does end up highlighting the Beatles much more significantly. Beatles set is same-super show-Todd delivers a solid performance which was above average inspiration-wise. Good one here.~ Tony |

GOLDEN SLUMBERS / CARRY THAT WEIGHT / THE END Note:The top Todd fan in Japan, Hiroshi provided me with this good audience from the Osaka venue-one bad thing is the wailing of some fans for who knows who...maybe Todd?? Also it is a bit more distant than the Tokyo show but still it is a decent audience recording of this show-the most notable is the inclusion of yesterday on this tour.~ Tony |

Note:This is a another fantastic recording on the last stop of the tour. Sound is clear and the band was inspired as they were shutting this thing down. I know I said Osaka was great, and it is, but if I had one to choose I would probably take this one due to the performance-the sound here is super for an audie-very little to zero yap.Thank you Hiroshi!~ Tony |

Note:This is an absolutely perfect, I said perfect recording thru the board w/ permission by Marc-Kat dazzles with versions of Alone, and does a better job (in my opinion) than current Todd on Inspiration, Cliché and One World-remember Kaz did sing double lead w/ Todd on Inspiration. If you want to know where the man is today-this is your stop. Top flight recording here-Kaz w/ a guest guitarist on some tunes. |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER (B) Note:My good friend Bruce chips this good recording in from the solo gig in Dallas-there is some chat but not too bad- the only probs of sounds really relate to the hall not having the piano or the Bossa mr3 stuff loud enough. Piano (now to it once a night) was not that bad-not great but no real big clunkers...a few stops but this is the bd show and the crowd sings to him all night. Vocals are nice especially on Hawking-pretty standard set-Inspiration and Too Far usually don’t sneak in that much anymore...this is nice. Bruce does another fine job on this one. Oh yeah-the condom story is funny as well as his actual cell phone call to his son after his minor league game just ended...all in all a good show...~ Tony |

Note:Well here is the Eric Carmen thing...problem is my copy does skip a bit in places-the recording was average...some yap present but the show has a real jam session vibe..The middle part is an unplugged segment which evidently didn’t survive these shows… but I don’t know why - it seemed to work ok here...Todd dominates the show but the bck vcs on this show were really ragged in places...Jack Bruce/Todd really cooked on the Cream stuff (before the fallout)..Real nice to have this to see what went down -glad someone did record it for sure...Thanks to Jeff for getting this to me...~ Tony |

BANG ON THE UKE DAILY. I SAW THE LIGHT. ONE WORLD. HAWKING Note:This was passed my way by ‘The Who man’ - John H...the recording is an average audie that is clear enough to hear what’s up but really lacks somewhat in clarity possibly due to the house sound system-if you were there, you’d like this-it really is a decent performance and the piano clinkers aren’t too bad-all in all real good for a first night esp considering the flight in from HI to get there. Recd for those who were there (or are curious). But so far the Dallas is better sound wise.~ Tony |

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND. BIRTHDAY. MY GENERATION (FOR JOHN). BACK IN THE USSR. REVOLUTION. GOLDEN SLUMBERS. CARRY THAT WEIGHT. THE END. Note:Here is a fab sounding example of this year’s offering-band is Todd, Mark Farner, Chris Cross, AP, Jack Bruce, Godfrey Townshend (again), Steve Murphy, John Beck. Great sound here- the whole thing about Todd not there, then yes there...the promoters really screwed this thing up by not leaving the Todd with the core folks...Carmen drops out-now Todd’s doing much more of them...kind of like the Ringo part II huh? Show is good-hell you couldn’t ask for better songs to play-nice mixture of the better stuff from last year and new stuff-Todd sings I’ve Just Seen A Face...the format is like the Japanese tour but instead the solo works are mixed among the Beatles tunes and stand up well-Todd says a bit about his pal the Ox before the band play My Generation-w/ Todd really wailing vocally on it..word had it that Todd was to tour with Entwistle possibly later this year....what a bummer...anyhow-this is recommended for sure-great recording by Lalo, great tweeks by Lin (as usual)- ESSENTIAL-you go Mr. Lin! Thanks!~ Tony |

LOVE IS THE ANSWER. ROCK LOVE. WAIT FOR ME. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. RICH GIRL. I SAW THE LIGHT. KISS ON MY LIST. HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME (LAST 6 W/ H AND O). Note:One of my old-timer friends comes through with a killer recording of the Todd tunes at this opening concert of the tour. It’s cool to compare this to say, Indy (last tour) to hear the differences. The DAT sound really comes alive (heavy bass again) when the band comes out on train. Some very small talk is present early but the sound is great and I must say consistent with Joel's sound in the past. Btw, he has been using DAT for a long time now and was one of the first dudes to do really super sounding Todd shows in the 90s and before. Thanks to Joel- the Hall & Oates tunes have a little more crowd noise behind them. As for the performance, it was opening night...so the bugs were being worked out but honestly, it is way better than an opening show that were used to with Todd and a band...particularly of interest is the inclusion of Hammer, Todd tells the audience after a fairly warm reception (after Parallel Lines), "…thanks for indulging me with my most obscure material...” (Huh?)...maybe to a H and O crowd.....rock love is the best for comparison to Indy...it is almost pedestrian-very medium tempo...you can tell the band was trying to get used to the chord changes and pace, the flubs are there but not too many-Todd’s gtr is delayed in spots and is not that loud but all in all, this was good for an opening show. Thank you again, Mr. K...~ Tony |

PARALLEL LINES (UAI). HELLO ITS ME (6/8). LOVE IS THE ANSWER. ROCK LOVE. (REMAINING ENOCRE TUNES WITH H+O): WAIT FOR ME. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. RICH GIRL. I SAW THE LIGHT. KISS ON MY LIST. HOT FUN IN THE SUMMER TIME. Note:Faithful friend Sara checks in with this document from Delaware. The sound of course is carried by T-Bone- very bass heavy has been backed off some. This is the complete Todd tunes. You can hear some talk-but it’s only in spots. Listening to this show had me thinking: odd that Bang On The Drum was w/ acoustic gtr...instead of Cliche'...gtr not loud for Todd on solos on his set...T Bone carries the sound on his big Fender...Parallel Lines performance is magical-better than Meriwether..Todd mentions the Nazz before Hello It's Me- mentions that this started it all off-I guess he’s embracing the white Philly soul trip here-that cool- Beatles to this-just another facet-next he’ll strap on a gtr - that’s why we love him..Rock Love is also superior--Todd does a preacher act a la Love My Life at the end of HIM. Hall’s mic on the dueling encores is much louder than Todd’s-it seems the best dueling takes place on H & O tunes-Darryl just sounds harmonically not as facile with CWSBF and ISTL-probably b/c of the passing chords (btw-where was Change Myself?)-the most inventive Todd gets is with (don’t laugh) Kiss On My List...yes there are claps and stuff here but you can still thoroughly enjoy this one...it’s so odd they picked a Sly Stone tune to close the Philly show-no doubt it was Todd and H & O on the stage, but the crowd heard echoes from Thom Bell, Gamble-Huff, Stylistics, Luther, O jays, Spinners, Chi-Lites, Marvin, Stevie and everyone else who was on the scene to create the 70s soul thing. Something about this reminds me of the Hello People tours -maybe it’s the thick harmonies but hurry up and catch it before he changes hats again! Thanks Sara.~ Tony |

RICH GIRL. I SAW THE LIGHT. KISS ON MY LIST. BAND INTROS. HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME. Note:Here is the first complete shows that’s in… is the last date of the tour-many challenges to record this thing-the insane loud lick drum that drills a hole in your chest-the booming low Fender end of T Bone’s bass, the very high level of Darryl’s mic-which is left wide open to catch all his high low vol vocs-these things together make it tough when you are already at an outside festival with tens of thousands in attendance. All of that being said, this is real nice-the bass drum has that sound but doesn’t really distract-as far as the show- the act before was Dicky Betts great southern-who played guitar solos on every Allman Bros tune that went on for eternity-I like jam bands but this one was over the top of the top-I have nothing against them -but I’ve never heard a band play more notes and say less...ahhh..What an inappropriate opening act, but the hardcores left and we filled in...I was in the 10th row center...Todd set was inspired but dogged by road weary...it showed on LCM but from Cliché’ onward it was a different story...Cliche’ was superb, Train was real hot-great gtr playing at the end...superb Looking At You-esp the adlib vocs at the end...Buffalo Grass which was greeted with indifference. In DC was a decided crowd pleaser… here...strange...Todd went nuts on Rock Love- great performance....by the way the show was slightly truncated-missed-Every time You Go Away, Wait For Me, and CWSBF-to tell the truth, I thought Darryl really kinda fucked up CWSBF so I’m not that sorry to see it go....again there is some distortion with the festival bullet bass drum and a few moments of trouble but not mostly all good..-All in all a very listenable full document--not a sdbd, but a strong solid keeper from Indy land. Todd was going nuts with the guitarist of H&O and T-Bone-just hamming it up...ended up with Todd kicking strings, knocking over and tackling the guitarist-they all had a lot of fun and seemed to me to be still close at the end of it all..Super…In short, this sounds real nice but has that kick drum sound that couldn’t be avoided...ESSENTIAL~ Tony |

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. Note:"Hello, jazz fans!" Todd greets us...well my bud came thru fab here from a tour that had Todd and Jesse playing exclusively at these venues- here is an early show from this small club tour in Japan which is very similar to the Channel Surfing tour fall of ‘98 we had back here. The shows were 2 a night, very short but very impromptu-I wish I was there. The piano version of HIM does have a major train wreck but that’s the most damage of the night- most of the piano tunes are performed better than the Channel Surfing tour (prob Todd's piano low point-see those shows)-it's definitely better than those days...Todd sounds tired, but happy to be in Japan for what sounds to be a very intimate crowd- he sings well and has a number of tunes to toss off. If performance is what you want Fukuoka is probably a better, but this recording is very nice as well- you need them both-for a tour like this-the sets are remarkably different (no real new tunes but enough variety to make us all happy)...the real highlight is a spine chilling performance with Jesse on Dream Goes On...it is slightly marred in one place by what sounds to be tape speed for a split second but really doesn’t mar it much...Really nice. Thanks to you Brother Hiroshi for another gem.~ Tony |

HELLO ITS ME (PIANO) Note:"...Remember, people, 6 shows gets you champagne..." This is a Japanese boot CD that sounds very good, and has a happy and great performance. Most notable is the jazzy remake of BTS from Tiki/Half Twisted ,but what makes this so cool is- that Todd and Jesse both are playing gtrs...Jesse cuts way loose on the solo and it is really nice-makes you ache for that Half Twisted band..The quote at the start (above) was for Martha who was evidently at 6 shows and got personal waiter service from Todd before he started the show. Nice gesture from him to recognize the hardcores-which we all know he does...I just realized that what makes this different from Channel is the absence of electric gtrs. All acoustic and real warm and fun-again this is one to get- I know it's short, but that was the idea. I hope Todd/Jesse (probably Marylou as well) had fun in the orient-sounds like they feel very comfortable here and the performances have a few mistakes but no real clunkers-thanks Hiroshi as usual. I got this extra bit of info on the scene from the man: The girls of 5 got this champagne. I know all of girls. But remember, $70 per each show without foods and drink in dinner club. Almost all people must pay around $100 (foods and tax) per one show. Todd knew this situation. Japanese show is worth seeing but no one can see the show below $50 here recently. It's sad. And security is so tight, especially in Tokyo. Our fan club member (who we all know attended), saw that several people were asked by security to stop tapes at every show!~ Tony |

But hey, that's what Todd makes fun about a show like this. Awh... his humor.He nails 'Cliche' with the difficult vocal range. 'I Don't want to Tie you Down' is one of the first appearances of this in a Todd set. Lennon's 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away'...he nails it... And 'Hawking' just flat silences the audience. Essential. You can get the Re-Mastered virsion at WhooHooLive. Buy it! It's Todd approved and he sees the royalties!~ Warren |

And I did not even know this show was recorded by anybody. Todd was spot on, and when he did ‘I’ve Just Seen A Face’ (right after ‘You’ve got to Hide Your Love Away’), I cheered like The Beatles were in town or something. I took lots of photos, for I did not bring anything to record with. I had a front row seat too. I tweaked her just a little, and now it sounds like I am in the Front Row.

Note:Well, the first thing I should confess is that I sold this show short (say that fast 3 times...) on the website reviews-the end of it and most of it-Todd’s vocals are on par with the night prior-there were more instrument probs, but not to distract-a real small place (size and layout approx holiday inn lounge size: 250 folks) to start Todd had an odd day as he explains about leaving clothes behind and forgetting picks..strings break so he picks up Royston Langson's gtr Well, the first thing I should confess is that I sold this show short (say that fast 3 times...) on the website reviews-the end of it and most of it-Todd’s vocals are on par with the night prior-there were more instrument probs, but not to distract-a real small place (size and layout approx Holiday Inn Lounge size: 250 folks) to start Todd had an odd day as he explains about leaving clothes behind and forgetting picks…strings break so he picks up Royston Langston’s gtr (who by the way is great and has a great Queen like song we are not alone--also performed in the Lap of the Gods from Sheer Heart Attack..) but back to the star..tie you down is superb from all perspectives...good execution on Viking...Compassion like the night prior is dangling on a star...the "dying on your bed of pain" when whispered as only he can bring the dynamics down is worth the price of admission for this SOLD OUT (VERY EARLY I MIGHT ADD) show as well.. there’s a funny bit during the uke story where a lady belts out a laugh.......funny thing about these shows is the absence of electric gtrs as well-distortion on acoustic gtr…Black & White makes a rare solo appearance (at least not lately) Debbie gives Todd a plastic tasting glass of water when he asks for it...then the lovely vocal champ flattens the competition with the Bossa set...the greatness of Todd shows through in the improvisational sections he is inventing stretching but not going too far overboard to strain the voice-the high end is clearer..The Wheel comes again tonight in a spot which is a bit earlier than usual...alters the tune "like if children were left to their own devices part.., to update accordingly....and the end, the slow down "how much I loved you....." the right touch for sure...can’t wait for next leg.~ Tony |

Note:Long time bud/Todd fan Mike Mosner checks in with a nice recording of the Charlotte show...voice was still nice--kinda weird show- sounded like tr spoke of it as kinda a punk club...anyhow- string breaks on song 1- Todd pays someone a fosters to fix it from the audience...then the wind blowing on him at the piano bench was a hassle...plays IWHMAD..Todd says a number of times during the show that in his advanced age- what he thinks he hears from the audience is probably much more interesting that what they’re talking about..Todd says he may one day act on it and get in real trouble.....anyhow- show gets some steam but is frequently peppered with Todd commentary about lotsa stuff...anyhow-verses get switched in demons, he mentions sold out tonite as an investment in the future- he may just play there 5 straight nights....hardcores get ready to do some motel biz....anyway, yes he does play IWHMAD twice then they remind him of it...I’ve just seen is spot on....lia aborts after the eq/line in short in Todd’s acoustic/electric goes out...like it did in Annapolis...again Todd darts in and out of the mp3 tunes great improvs at the end...HIM is messy a bit but he recovers and finishes strong after a few flubs...nice reaction from crowd- show was a bit more like the last few years but still the singing was clear and strong...great job, thanks Mike....~ Tony |

I WANT YOU CD TWO: LYSISTRADA. THE WHEEL. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. ONE WORLD Note:Tom Cannon comes thru with his usual sonic superior job...this show in which Todd did have an extra thumb or two (one of those piano nites) but sang super in line with the great vocs we heard in DC area. ..Some catcalls burst thru the sound but not too bad...again, as was on the 7th-his string breaks on the opener and he aborts and goes straight to the piano where it starts out pretty well..Speaks of the water concern at each venue and did drink what he called "syphilis water" (misspoken name)...Todd finally answers the catcalls for Skynyrd with a few unaccompanied verses of Free Bird...btw Hammer is the best I’ve heard on the tour- a real fierce pace...the flubs start at the end of too far gone which isn’t bad at all but a real train wreck happens in Hello It’s Me which drifts for awhile at the end into an atonal affair-Todd has fun with it...LOTCM and Cliché’ really benefit from being played later in the set when his voice is warmed up....Todd speaks of playing IWHMAD twice the night before, so I guess that’s why it was missing this nite...A Dream Goes On is even somewhat marred-thats probably why he took the unusual step of playing One World AFTER a Dream.. All in all, very enjoyable- rowdy crowd, kind of subpar keyboard nite…~ Tony |

Groce's intro was spliced onto LOTCM (the version here is the 2nd take-first was unusable due to tech probs). However, the B-cast sounds seamless. Taxman is a sing along. Todd sings a verse as the B-cast fades...it is absolutely great to have one from this state-honoring a man who is long overdue...ESSENTIAL~ Tony |

I think what makes this show better is the sustained emotional focus of this show vocally compared to Dallas...IWHMAD has diff vocal inflections that usual..Many wrecks early in piano and also at the very end...Compassion, CWSBF, are all good piano wise...Demons has the cool out of order lyrics thing that happens sometimes (2nd verse first) the real reason for this is the sparkling emotional takes of Infidel and What’s Goin’ On...keeper~ Tony |

The thing about this night was monitor probs as well as some mistakes on piano songs and Love In Action. Still nice to have for the expanding repertoire...sound as I said is not recorded from the back of the speakers but is still solid....~ Tony |

THE WHEEL/WHATS GOING ON Note:This set is really a show that I wished I had seen. It sounds coffeehouse size. Tiny. The recording benefits from super equip and positioning not far from a speaker. It’s the Talkhouse, however, and there us a bit of yap in many places early. It is not a problem because the recording is so strong and it gets better as the show goes on. some great moments here- Hello It’s Me has a playful improved begin off the bass riff...Todd’s voice is a bit rough at the start but again, the amazing thing is that it gets better as the show goes. And by mid show, he’s in tip top form...Infidel is exceptional (many good ones-this one may be the best)...the second CD sounds superb... Wheel/What’s Goin’ On also is great...also Todd talks about a song yet to be written about the current political scene. One of the few shows that didn’t end with a Dream...anyhow- what a great job and like I said-I wish id had been there for sure. Lively, lot of fun and sounds great.~ Tony |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER (WAT VERSION W/ JESSE) Note:What a special ‘one off’...as noted above, Jesse is there for all but 2 tunes on CD2 here. Changes this to be a Hybrid show, half 03 & half Channel Surfing...makes a difference when Jesse adds to the WAT stuff and the different a Dream Goes On is real cool...however, the most astonishing thing about this recording is the performance and the development of the improv on BTS w/ Jesse, WAT stuff but the jaw dropper is the (possibly improvised) melding of a modal tune attached throughout - I’ve Just Seen A Face called the Endless Prairie-whether he was singing to his family about his recent jaunt northward above Texas, who knows..But it is really together and sounds to me either to be improved -if not, it’s probably an old showtune. Regardless, it’s an instant classic.....the sound is strong...there’s some talk but what the hey...what a special show...another one I wished I’d seen...Beloved is superior. David Weesner- who did a superb job as well.~ Tony |

I’ve only seen or heard (on boots) of Todd getting spooked only by one crazy fan I know...this guy stopped the I tour in DC to show the crowd his tattoo of the Ikon eyeball...anyhow I digress...Todd asks if the place is haunted..It is the crowd replies...Todd may have forgotten but Utopia played there on the first UK tour in fall 75-thirty years before....nevertheless Todd delivers a great Viking (one of tours best) a lyric stumble in Hawking but it is a special version...also PTC is pretty sweet as well..This is a single (Joe and Ethel-less) CD~ Tony |

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. I WANT YOU. ONE WORLD. HELLO ITS ME. THE WHEEL/WHATS GOING ON Note:I think this was the next show after our little Dallas adventure and Todd’s voice starts out pretty gruff. (there was something about ragweed going around...).interesting that he mentions the New George’s Cal ‘Drunk Show’ in ‘87 and promises to drink a bit- which he proceeds to do..He really delivers a funny line about his keyboard playing that I’d never heard before:"my piano playing is not sloppy...I’d call it...a rollicking style"...but despite the drink, this show is almost mistake free on piano...I finally got the joke before the Hello It’s Me..About classical concerto...that’s him making fun of Billy Joel again...BJ did that awhile back (Todd hates him but I think he’s written at least a couple undeniable classics)...Funny loose show-voice improves by shows end…~ Tony |

DONE GONE BLUE. SOY MEXICO AMERICANO. MAS Y MAS. MY GENERATION. Note:Ok I know I’ve been lazy and been away. I have so much going on now that takes priority...so...but I did make it Columbus—first I was shocked at how much of a DNS went down. The place was barely half filled- beautiful venue- sound was pretty good- I also heard Todd may play with the headliners but I couldn’t stay...the show itself was a bit more abrupt in flow at times due to the shortened set..I was told by the folks at the venue and this page that it would be an hour so didn’t bring a second, hence the cut on the surprising closer HIM which was actually played deliberately without screw-up’s...the rest--well it’s the same frickin songs again...the vocals pretty good (despite Todd’s complaints about Dayton ragging his voice)..Compassion (he’s playing with the tempo both for effect and accuracy which is good)...at the Bossa section - the improvs get more deep as time goes by...he accidently knocked off the mic during I Want You peak but these are all strong...Infidel of course was great..I did notice how Todd’s new distorted acoustic sound closely matched the sound of the gtr on the swing version...pretty good show...a bit short...and the same list as last leg...let’s hope (for us hardcores) we get a bit of new stuff in the fall..Chances are good...btw the sound here is real good, not superb-bit of yap from the Lobos folks in some places...12/05 have the Lobos set...Todd on Rain but mysteriously stops next tune and then is gone...also surprisingly, not on My Generation...~ Tony |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:This runs a very close second to Rams Head 8/4 and probably these were the highlight gigs for Todd of the second leg...after some heckling for "play something new", Todd delivers this funny 16 bar diddy about tourists coming to Hawaii – Mr. Roys tells me that this is Brak's vacation from Spaceghost's Surf and Turf...but the rest is very strong..There is some very slight yap but no big deal...piano is strong...and a very funny line is delivered during Born to Synthesize, "...the red polygons only desire is to get to the blue triangle...you know what I’m saying…" Todd laughs aloud........it just shows he was loose and on his game here… Another R. Roy's masterful job....Todd remarks about missing John Entwhistle who played there with him in AWDAR. This time its Todd himself...very enjoyable show for a supportive LI/NY crowd...~ Tony |

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. I WANT YOU. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL/WHATS GOING ON. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:Wow. What a great surprise to find this really nice and loose show that finds Todd in almost constant good humored banter with the Boston crowd. This is a very well recorded solo show where Todd was on-almost on par with Birchmere, a few days later...voice not quite as good but nothing to complain about for sure. Highlights: LOTCM voc were a force of will...slight rasp this night but real strong for sure...in a reflective mood about Beantown all night (maybe it was that damned book again!)...talks about the Metro close to the Park and how the show went down depending on the Sox game. Talks of the 'Bosstown sound'...crowd into clapping this night...infidel is played so much more gently here than on the current Liars tour...better here I hate to say..prior to Compassion he asks the Gov vs. Terrorist bit then says "let's talk about solutions" and glides into Compassion-a beautiful halting version-he brakes around the curves for a more sensual style...real weird on this show where Todd accepts volunteers to tune his guitar..Something else Todd says he has in common with Bostoners is his love of country..."Endless Prairie of gridlock"...Todd actually recites the concept of future during Synth...where’s my...??..Making it with the mechanical maid...finally he goes too far and into the clap ending on Wheel before he remembers to segue into What’s Goin’ On so the crowd has to slow down the tempo considerably...but the version reminds me why I’m here and why you’re reading this now..Todd’s doing the good work...very emotional plea...another gem~ Tony |

Note:Close to the end of this second time around-Mr. L checks in with this jewel from Towson. Todd has mastered this set list for sure and the piano songs are all done well and hardly any mistakes at this juncture..Prairie is pretty cool...as I said before we could really use some newer tunes - I think they’re on the way...anyhow- a great job by Marc, some yap but sound is stronger than I thought would be possible at this venue...also got in a processed gem from R Roy on this one that really kicks ass..DC/Balto-always covered with these pros...~ Tony |

Note:Well there’s the story-there’s this little club in Richmond and not many people came at all...Todd says "I see you all got the secret memo...you were the people meant to be here"...sound on this is great..The performance is still good but he doesn’t wear himself out this nite...in fact, you’d be hard to find another show since ‘77 where both LOTCM and Cliché’ are missing...still this is recorded very well as R. keeps torching with his Soundforge scene..All of these are really nice recordings and this was a very intimate affair...Wish I could have been there....~ Tony |

BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS>CARRY THAT WEIGHT>THE END. Note:Ok, so now I don’t agree with what I said about the next night... it kinda is a shambles. I mean the musical parts to the Beatles tunes are largely a free for all. And seeing Denny Laine sing Live and Let Die, well you know...if I never hear Games People Play again, I’ll be happy...this recording is great, you can even hear ‘em dicking around before the show starts...Todd’s gtr is always way up in the mix but it should be, he is the main player, singer and talent here. This show is really Todd and the also rans, so it’s nice for that reason but I don’t want to hear, We Can Work It Out into Ride like the fricking wind...anyway-what a great find for the sound quality, Denny's and Joey's spots are nicely done, kind of a revue like circuit going for ‘em...Todd prob doesn’t mind seeing ‘em for these few shows but I think he is a rung or 2 above this level of talent..Anyhow, his gtr and vocs are up and he carries the show along as he goes...Rain is a highlight...torrid solo on OME but sound unbalanced...6/8 HIM. ..Todd stands on his own mountain after Weeps, nary a challenger here this night. Todd jokes about more sing-along’s and that’s what this degenerated to...gang lead vocals...Todd gtr way up in solos on the end...nice to hear..Thanks Hiroshi, Todd's last jaunt with Abbey -we now have 2 nites...

I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS>CARRY THAT WEIGHT> THE END. Note:What a surprise...since there were only a couple of shows I knew about that Todd was involved, I had almost given up hope when Mr. Wessner. comes thru- sound is excellent, very small cheers and yap at points but nice recording on balance...As for the show, I was curious for sure...I heard it was not as good as the others, maybe because it’s the 3rd time around. But after hearing it, I’m not so sure I agree with that assessment. Granted, it is not as tight as the first 2 go rounds (but it is nowhere near as sloppy or ramshackle as I would have imagined). Here Todd is the number one featured star in this show for sure and this sucker has a lot of spirit....Joey Molland really did a superb job on his tunes..Denny Laine sang with unexpected improvisational flair...it worked most of the time...instrumentally it was a bit sloppy on those tunes but what the hey...nice to hear Todd and Joey Molland trade off on Golden Slumbers verses...there are a few digital small skips on the closer but not enough to cause concern..very nice to hear OME again even if the solo is a bit off the pace towards the end...you can feel this lineup would be a killer if they had time to really get it in the groove, but I think they played maybe 4 shows this year –So maybe this thing has played out, but it’s a shame especially for Joey Molland (Badfinger) and Denny Laine (Wings)...I really wish these guys would have been in a long running thing. This really was an enjoyable show to listen for front to end...personally I would prefer the solo stuff first, then go to the Beatles stuff but that’s a small bitch...(talking about bitch...Todd recalls writing HIM on south street...) thanks to Mr. Wessner. for preserving this rare gem for eternity...Btw, I don’t know what the review was talking about; which said there were problems between Todd and C. Cross?? No evidence of it here at all...Sounds like they had a great time...Weavil straightened me out about the Badfinger title and Molland w/ Todd on Slumbers...~ Tony |

Note:To start with, this was front row...vocals are distorted b/c of monitor and direct signal (Todd himself un-mic'd) for a bit of their show...but you can hear what’s happening and the end of the show is quite nice in fact-let’s hope the other shows (starting at Basie) are much better..Some yap but barely at all...some observations about this nite: Vocals are below average...sound round this tour...very dynamic and tough to record well...begins to get better at F Christ-Kaz whips ass on the groove..ISP is rushed more w/ Prairie Prince than Trey...Guitar Weeps is there for reference rather than performance-its decent but nowhere compared to AWDAR (1)...Temp Sanity-very nice work Jessie/Kaz...Liar was where Todd lost his voice during the tune and couldn’t finish 2nd verses...but it smokes live...generally I think a few tunes this night were rushed...Jessie crushes on Superstition...again a truncated 2nd set...minus - Love Science, World Wide and Train...past- noticed a slight variation on sound modules, etc used by Ferensik f....a slight shuggie otis tropical variance has been added Born To Synth...Feel It is (as most times) trancendent...great to get JOV again....in sum, both performance and recording are lacking here to a degree (Pitt shows follows 2 Clev shows back to back). We will definitely get better keep your eyes peeled.... but this will be a placeholder until then...~ Tony |

Hopefully someone will improve on this but the hall had astronomically high ceilings. Not the best recording but the performance especially the vocals by Todd make this show the shit...as i understand it, this was as close to perfect as theyve gotten it...it will get better im sure but ill never forget this show..his new stuff (NH onward) and the crowd went nuts ala 79-large theater full house...lot of chances of Todd playing live guitar(a few bad notes but...not that bad) where he used to do stock lines...key sounds and lines fuller than before..Let’s face it the NH band had horns as well as 2 keyboards, so pity poor John's choice of what he can cover and he does a magnificent job of hybriding the parts...great leads on outchorus of unloved...jessie outstanding again on his leads...bummer we missed t sanity (one of my faves)...same 2nd set omissions as the burgh (love sc, wwe, train)...but the real deal is that this is very enjoyable to listen to despite the high ceilings of basie hall...the second set is trancendory from about truth on...todd was in the groove and the love flowed back...he shouted as he came back on the last time "we came to play!!!"...the smile on his face told it all...the place went wild on JOV...you can hear it all here...one of my all time fave shows to date |

Note:Synopsis by Julie O'Brien: "Joe's Pub is named for Joseph Papp, the founder of The Public Theater in NYC, who hired Todd to compose the musical UP AGAINST IT. Todd spoke very highly of Joe at the beginning of the performance. He said he was "one of the most kind and generous persons he'd ever met" and tonights performance was a tribute to him. Todd sat down at the piano and performed 5 songs solo to a crowd of approximately 150 guests. Song of the Viking It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference Too Far Gone Compassion I Saw the Light ("here's something you don't hear every day") Todd then introduced the cast: Phil Casnoff - original UP AGAINST IT cast member, playing Ian McTurk. Phil is an actor on HBO's "OZ" Toni DiBuono - playing Connie Boone. Toni is seen in films and commercials Allison Fraser - playing Miss Drumgoogle, the "heart throb tht everyone wants a date with" Tom Aulino - original UP AGAINST IT cast member, playing Bernard Coates Lisa Datz - playing Rowena Mary Stout - playing Lili Palmer Kasim Sulton - playing Christopher Low Joe Jackson - playing Father Brodie Todd Rundgren - playing The Mayor and Jack Ramsay Todd started off with a brief synopsis of the play and narrated a bit in between each song as the story would progress. Todd had recorded tracks of each song and sometimes conducted as the players sang. With the exception of Free, Male and 21...Todd played piano for this song, saying he didn't have a recording for it. When Worlds Collide (The Mayor, Father Brodie, Connie Boone) Parallel Lines (Drumgoogle) Free, Male & 21 (Low & McTurk) The Smell of Money (Bernard Coates)-very funny,lots of laughs Up Against It (Ramsay) Life is a Drag (Men's chorus) Lili's Address (Lili Palmer and Women's Chorus) Love in Disguise (Rowena, McTurk and Full Chorus) Maybe I'm Better Off (McTurk & Low) You'll Thank me in the End (Connie Boone) From Hunger (Low) Entropy (Drumgoogle, McTurk, Low & Ramsay) Parallel Lines Reprise - McTurk's version Finale (Full cast and Chorus) The entire show was spectacular! A real once in a lifetime treat. The programs we were given noted that the program is being filmed for a DVD. I saw two cameras, one on the lower level and one on the upper level of the pub. Many of the cast members came out to mingle after the show during the dessert reception. There was an assortment of eclairs, chocolate covered strawberries, raspberry pasties and cookies being passed around. As we spoke with the cast members, we noticed they were each carrying a gift from Todd; a clear vinyl tote bag with a replica of one of Todd's albums on each side of it. It looked like it was the actual size of an album jacket cover. Joe Jackson had the Something/Anything bag, Allison had the Hermit bag, I think I saw a Healing bag too. Todd appeared, someone grabbed him a drink and he sat down at a table to allow fans to line up to greet him. Each person had an opportunity to sit with him at the table. He was very graciously signing things (he signed my UP AGAINST IT cd), answering questions and posing for pictures. He didn't appear to be in a hurry to leave and stayed until the line dwindled down. I think we actually left before he did. I'm so happy and fortunate to have been able to attend this performance!" |

Note:As for the recording, very satisfied and I think more great ones will comes...a great sound at this venue...as for the show itself: I was surprised to see such a lovely venue in Lancaster-most importantly; acoustics were fine-almost opposite to the cavernous old Basie place in Red Bank a week before. I also am pleased to report that Todd had the best vocal night I can remember since going to see him. It was all 100% there and no rag at all which is surprising, given his earlier problems and the number of shows he’s done. What got better in the week? Balance and mix were clearer-some low end rumble avoided consistently- there’s been better I’ve seen but I can’t think of it... Great show great friends great voice great venue...~Tony |

Note:One CD, you say? Yep-it’s all here. Evidently as with the AWDAR that Sara did that also adding, the show was made to be short so that the gambling could be interrupted the shortest time...I guess that comes with the bucks...there is some distortion in a very few places, but what makes this so cool is the sound..Vocs are right out front.-songs are rushed but end up cool...most noticably is Feel It...ends up less than half of the time it usually clocks in at... still this is a nice and interesting clearly alternate mix from what we’ve heard thus far..Another nice addition from Jim F...~ Tony |

LUNATIC FRINGE CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:One thing about this homecoming show is that the venue is notorious to record in due to the deep stage and high ceilings...kinda like Red Bank but worse..That being said, this recording is pretty amazing to get a sound this good. It has problems inherent in the venue (and those we’ve encountered with this new sound system)...the 2nd set sounds better than set 1 and that’s the same every night... show in my opinion was definitely inferior performance wise to many others this tour but if you were there or got to have ‘em all - this is a fine memento. Thanks from the bottom to both Mr. B for doing his everyday miracles and Marco for getting it to me....~ Tony |

LUNATIC FRINGE. GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. CD TWO: PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY (FADES). Note:Jeff grabbed this he told thru the BOC trade circuit. Definitely on tape as there are a few telltales in the music where the speed is altered by tape wind. Still this sounds better than you’d expect and the yap really is only noticeable at low volume points in the show. some fun stuff this night: not the best night for Todd's vocs --but as we've said before he's used his voice much more judiciously on these "less than perfect range" nights to great effect...Truth the mix is weird until almost end- Buffalo Grass does not have the storm troopers feel of other east coast notes- very laid back..Weird tech problems happening in Jesse’s solo...Mammon is very noisy...Then comes one of the keepers from this night- Todd’s solo on Fascist Christ...what happens is that he blows the head bad both time before the lead-sliding till he finds the right note-but we must say Foamy be still choking at this point…Then he gets obviously upset with his performance and rips off THE MOST creative lead on this all tour long- very great use of distortion and he plays lines and sequences all new on this one...ISP is a bit rushed...tape dead giveaway is known from 1.24-1.29 of Weeps...Todd foamy still be choked off during the lead...from mix very empty sound at beg of God Said- very low keys level...LF- guitar problems...best trading solos between JF/JG ever on GO...Sweet is our Bellweather to show that his vocs is not at top if game but used wisely...slow and quiet Past, careful, hushed as well..Band (most Kaz) add a staccato touch to lines to make them even more delicate...BTS chronicles: Jesse really underwhelms in beck mode at part 1, but returns to the phrasing both heavy sound-then morphs into Simpsonian mode into a fluttering hammering upward climb that runs into a wall of teapot..Sparkling fun....one of Ferensik's better solos-in that it veers the most creatively helped out by polyrhythmic playing of Prairie...Kaz solo very short and sweet...most all improv...only Rays played...post Jetsons, someone again is singing the naked vocal part... then Feel it- above average version...unusual lead at end....Nail has a funny sped up part again. Crowd into HIM but slapdash version...JOV has late entry PP and is faded at the solo...all in all pretty nice-Todd really gets thru a not so great voice night with flying colors..Thanks for getting this to us, Jeff!~ Tony |

| Date Added:5/22/2004 Track List:CD ONE: TRUTH. BUFFALO GRASS. MAMMON (ABORTED).I HATE MY FRICKIN ISP. MAMMON. FASCIST CHRIST. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. GOD SAID. LIAR. BELOVED INFIDEL. LUNATIC FRINGE. GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST CD TWO: BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:Nice show from Mr. Kelly -small venue, recording very good...some but not over yap...vol fluct (down) on Buffalo Grass, then steady...Mammon aborted by Prairie and possibly something not working, so skipped the sacrilege duo into ISP..Then fixed, the two are nice...Facist Christ almost sounding like a rock song…Not so much groove oriented on this night -many Prairie inventive fills in that tune particularly this night...Todd brings out a special guest guitar Gibson SG? -please read at the Todd on tour about this.....freshly painted in Fool-like artwork...has a great tone and I like the sound on Weeps.. Jesse’s solo on Liar is veracious and noisy...Green Onions has a roadhouse feel tonight...Jessie dressing in srv clothes then PP has his for short solo then when Jesse tries to trade 4s w/ him- too much going on to happen..Instead John F. recognizes what he’s doing and almost gets into a Todd/Roger thing for a short while...again no Temporary Sanity (major bummer-if you haven’t seen him call for it 1st set-problem lost forever), Unloved Children (recently fading away), Train (did he ever?), WWE (NY only recently), or Love Science (DC, Lancaster, others) tonight....second set-nice pair of ballads, then Synth finds JG wearing Joes Pass' coat mellow tone then with PP shifting rhythms...ends in a whistle siren crash and then the tune is dead momentarily...JF revives in a strident manner-sounding altogether a different player up until his chord trip starts that ends his solo..Super solo...the sleep part doesn’t take place for some reason, Todd asks whatever happened to vaudeville and then improves some more...then ends...Feel It is feeling more like NH-Jesse playing so many different lines at the head to fill it...superb vocally again...Nail ragged somewhat..JOV solo at end is best yet...Thanks Patrick!~ Tony |

BELOVED INFIDEL. LUNATIC FRINGE. CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:Wondrous show again...I know you’re getting sick of hearing it, but I don’t think we’ve ever had such a great run of shows...Todd’s guitar mistakes are now vanished...band is confident and the stuff actually swings in places...recording is very and takes the low end off...is this the best show of the tour? Maybe performance wise...there is a real strange proclivity for Prairie to play drum fills this nice and its clear he’s bored with the super slow and straight 4/4 of past..The feel has evolved...I like God Said on this and Liar as well as any show he’s done...although its short-the first set is super-voice top shelf, not perfect, but I’ll take it every night of the week.....there is a problem with the bass on HIM encore that kills the mood at the end but aside from their sort of brush thru the verses of Synth..Solos are good, but not the best Synth we’ve heard...also Green Onions has some problems in that the changes were scattered for some reason-seems like they were distracted, but as I said past is different feeling on this more recent recording and as the confidence builds..Space is filled...Prairie’s playing about 2-3x as many fills as he did in Pittsburgh when I saw 'em first and that coupled with Ferensik's expanded role since then...makes for an enjoyable time of interesting interplay between the players...great job Mike-wish I would have gone-I like this one a lot...It’s awesome...Another great one...~ Tony |

| Date Added:5/26/2006 Track List:CD ONE: TRUTH. BUFFALO GRASS. MAMMON. FASCIST CHRIST. I HATE MY FRICKIN ISP. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. GOD SAID. LIAR. BELOVED INFIDEL.LUNATIC FRINGE. GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. CD TWO: PAST. LOVE SCIENCE. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:A big surprise coming from Mr. B in his last batch o goodies! Excellent audience recording. Todd’s guitar solo cooks on Buffalo Grass...sound cranked up better in huse by Fascist Christ...Todd gives the AC/DC, "for those about to rock, we acknowledge you"… preface to ISP and it does for sure. Great lead by Todd on Weeps...get wrenching version of Liar. Again,this song is designed to be very sonically thick, so every night is a different picture when even subtle differences in balance and mix and hall and position occur, all I’ll say is this one gives you some idea of the scream that Todd has to let loose of nightly...scary...a big screw up in Past...but all is still smoothie...Jesse starts off BTS with the Beck attitude..The lines are not so greatly drawn as to start and stop on each section as most nights...I hear some Herbie Hancock style against Prairie's jazzy back beats...pretty spacey at end...feel it has an odd solo by Todd at end, starts nice but odd then goes into an odd mode that clashes sometimes against the chords, its real strange because he keeps going...Crowd really loves JOV...Todd is into it as well...nice addition to the tour. Jonathan Pearlman’s angle on the show: It was totally incredible! It was so nice to see Todd & Kasim together again. I heard others saying what was going thru my mind: It was like seeing Utopia! The band blew us away. The stage setup is way too cool! We had to laugh when Todd started his solo and said, "Aren't I supposed to be playing a different guitar?" after which the guitar tech ran onstage & handed him a Gibson. He kept writing on the "wall" of the "cage" with some kind of marker, I presume making notes about the performance or something. His voice was the best I've ever heard! Guitar playing ditto! Great, great show.~ Warren |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:They say some nights are better than others, more passionate than others, etc...Well it’s true here...very small crowd and the sets (although executed perfectly fine) are largely w/o passion and it feels as if Todd is trying to get thru the setlist. Not to say it’s not fantastic, by the way...Confused?? I just like them all and this one has a lot of great moments and interesting moments created by the situation: several comments show his disappointment in the attendance...evidently, many including your taper report that last stop here was largely a lackluster solo affair that turned many people off...who knows? The good part is the recording is superb...some remarks: truth has a different sound...can’t imagine a crowd of 200..bck vocs on b grass very nice blend tonight...the old ssss problem that we’ve had all tour and that bass sound still are the same..I think some modification should be made to the bass sound...it really in my opinion is too round and creates a hum at most venues either thru a resonating tom head and /or a rumble...digital bass I don’t know-some settings are good but most of them for the new tunes is too much, too round......Mammon also has a nice angle - reveals different interesting detail..Kasim has a background vocal part he tries that works as good as it ever will this night but it is jive...let the overplay begin...Fascist Christ- guitar coda before solo is out but the fucking solo is a rocker..Nice effect/delay ala "abandon city" maybe it’s a mustang profile...in synch with PP...When f Christ ends the applause shows weird this must be...200 to see this tour? ISP rushed rocks but not as furious...Weeps guitar solo is nice...liar is real nice on this show. Sonically awesome...after that Todd says let’s keep this mood going-it was the first thing he said all night...SB-low key...Todd starts phrasing tricks to keep himself interested..Sweet is fast....Past-near perfection...subtle variations in this is cool...quickly into Synth...last time I have a Kasim solo...let’s face it- it wasn’t needed...Jesse and JF..One of best call and imitate pre-snore sections out there--it did and does get better JF did the honors this night (swampland).feel it is very non committal- odd almost u2 approach/groove to this song-this is the strangest thing played this night. Very odd version but I like it...guitar sparkles at end...slower pace than usual on Nail...on HIM...no "meet people" rap-Todd still fuming at the turnout says “go tell everyone who missed the show" and "meet people" section was inapplicable because everyone was already intimate...Big ciggie bitch: he aks for a puff...very slow jov as well but ok...all in all a great recording but an uninspired band due to a piss poor turnout...Too bad Tallyhoo you probably won’t have to worry about a turnout again....great job (first of a stunning 5 new great JB recordings!) thanks to the man...~ Tony |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST. LOVE SCIENCE. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:The best news is what? Another great JB recording, a return to form from the band as they encounter a better sized enthusiastic Orlando crowd than 2 nights prior in Tallahassee. Better vibe strikes you even during truth...b grass now almost has a dance beat tonight...actually sounds like what Willie would a done with this tune...Todd builds on the fab extended solo from 2 nights ago and hammers it home..Crowd wacked...as Mammon starts we marvel again at the great recording- details revealed...simply best version so far I’ve heard...Fascist Christ band is tight as a hydraulic drumhead on Fascsist Christ--int the crowd a few gals giggle at the rap (they evidently are real big fans...yeah...) until they hear what he's saying and they stop...PP and TR go off together on a polyrhythmic accent trip into the sky at the solo...very groovy dude...ISP Jon tells me was patched from the old tape he got at the venue...real key part..Again no words to the crowd and into Weeps...leads are good but honestly probably not meant to take this song on tour...too many nights in a row...maybe this should be an every 2 niter like love science (bring back Temp Sanity!!!)...God Said has a vocal delay more prominent (return at a stronger signal) than most nights...Jesses lead on Lairs is an amazing mini composition by itself...both these last 2 are fab...this first set was special...go on to later- sweet has the best groove I’ve heard..Hot fun but not too on top of the beat like it used to be...past is a bit fast...Todd does an amazing job but the tempo is too fast to feel it deeper...then comes love science..Easily the sloppiest tune performed this night, I don’t understand why...Synth has a jive style delivery vocally...the solos touch on a bit of T Monk, Hendrix...jazz collage style from JF..Now it’s daughter hootie (b/c of Kasim's beard)...the "you were born" section of call and response is now a nightly "let me throw the band" exercise- really Zappa-like (Britney)..Feel It is slightly faster...Kasim sparkles-Todd delivery meant to pull back the band some and they do...wild lead at the end...some bulls eye, some slight dissonance...passionate Nail...comfortable pace on HIM and almost, I say, almost a perfect JOV ..At end Todd says during the intros...”...buy our t-shirt when it comes out"...what? Must of had to have been there-I wish I was-this was a killer show and a super recording~ Tony |

BELOVED INFIDEL. LUNATIC FRINGE CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. EXIT MUSIC. FROGS OUTSIDE (2 TRACKS) Note:Another great job from john b in Ruth Eckerd-on the day that the Eckerd founder, Jack Eckerd died...strange?? But a real strong show-rivaling Orlando for intensity...some highlights: extended solo continues on Buffalo Grass...better than 2 nights ago...near perfect Mammon...odd sound for Fascist Christ in that the mids seem gone in the mix-makes for some nice observations of the parts happening'...Todd's solo is pretty humorous on this..I’ve never heard him play such "jive runs" before or in this style he just lets loose...speed runs almost atonal in effect at places-I really dig it...The breakdown before the old time religion part is my favorite I’ve heard on this tour-it is kind of whispery, spooky...almost like an old Motown mid 70s thing..You have to hear it...never did it like this (judging by the CDs) before or after...very special version of both mammon and Fascist Christ...ISP very jangly this night...key arrangement kicks ass, no more echo trill trip CDs part...the new bass part (higher during verse) helps Liar sonically...GO is harder than usual, less swing. Same with SB...Very sleek performance of sweet, Todd shines...could be the best version...Sythn- Jesse was lying in wait to attack it- starts off with a Zappaesqe interplay with PP...Interestingly after the Simpsons riff, Jesse actually lets JF start, then JF realizes Jesse is still holding some feedback and back off for another few bars...JF then does a honky tonk piano style seen in the crazier 70s miles Davis bands. No Kasim solo "Elroy went insane-he couldn’t take the pressure"...then the unexpected happens-as Todd is getting ready to sing during a quiet spot...an audience member starts in "you were born. And improvising like a young kid raised on boy bands...So Todd stopped...he says "It's an American Idol world" anyone else want to audition?some innovative lines follow as todd tries a bit too hard, obviously rattled by this bizzare occurence-did the girl think she was going get a deal then?? Obviously, she wasn’t hardcore Todd fan or she would know you don’t do that to Todd or he'll call you out...he did...nice and slow version of Feel It follows...vocal adlibs are nice and the guitar solo at end soars...mentions ai again before nail..Todd mixes up the improv...finally at the end, Todd largely nails the lead at end of JOV and the crowd goes nuts...great show...how does it rank?? Real high but how many times have I said that so far?? interesting story the swamp next to the lot was infested with frogs, so Jon B thought a nice field recording would add some flavor....sounds real cool almost like a harmonium or cluster electronic Krautrock outtake...I like it..Thanks or a great haul from FL. to Mr. Babcock!~ Tony |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:The first of two back to back nights of good fortune for us all thru ms Sara k...this time for a big change (she is a purist) to deal with the big bad bass monster we've all regretfully had to deal with concerning this round direct "modelly" sound..Wonderful job done here and Nashville (I feel a better group show)-the recordings are very good position-wise and it’s a big treat to hear them at this juncture...way familiar with the material...there’s now an operatic opening-lord of the rings or something pompous like that with full boys choir and orchestra in dramatic unison..Personally I think it’s funny but I’m not sure that’s how it was intended...the vocals are great...a bit distorted at beg...sound shapes better with Grass...Todd’s voice soars over the chugging backbeat..No COPD tonight folks....Mammon sounds now like a rock song and has lost all of the humanoid/robot/mechanized feel on the original...Fascist Christ swings big time...guitar problems surface but the end solo of Christ is attacked in a way not heard before-far more aggression from Todd on guitar...the breakdown on Fascist Christ is now a sensual affair with almost little scatting going down..Playing in and out of the downbeat...lengthy...ISP has the emphasis largely on the riff at the head and no audible chords for verse 1 but was problem the mix...weeps is less smooth-I think they have trouble at this point pumping emotion into it since it’s a cover after all and one he’s done for a few years/tours in AWDAR..definitely more bombastic than before and maybe like a modern day very 1st utopia would have played it ...you know this is similar in a few ways to that first tour...a longer pause at the beg of god said..Liar provides extra screaming tonight from Todd at end...Beloved very plain...listen to your 03s again...it’s almost always too fast despite the momentary break after Liars...GO-starts in higher gear than normal...organ solo is nice playing accents games with PP--who has total control of the band by this point...SB is cool as ice-it took awhile to get it to this feel and I think most musicians know it’s the simple ones that can take longer to get the feel right..Real nice groove tonight...sweet is total "hot fun in the summertime" 6/8 groove tonight PP stays on tip top of the beat...less machine like now as well-accents sprinkled thru in jazz like manner by pp and Kasim..Past. Cautious tonight, almost sneaky...delicate...pp never hits the snare-all rims tonight...this shows how far the vocals have come...unique version...slip away part is magic....Synth-very loose from the start hard to describe the sound that is trying to happen here tonight..Odd angular stuff-kind of sinister slant from Mr. g...screaming...definitely playing by himself and not so much interplay and that’s the problem with this tonight...JF- t monk style for a very short while and goes into 2x very early...continues to battle against the tide ala zawinul used to do in weather report...complex but diffuse..Kasim solo...Todd does get into the lyrics of who do you love?...feel it little too fast/less drama...less tension-for me that’s not good...vocs are great though..But again a failure at the lead part...nail sounds like they’re tired of playing it...sloppy...then out come the Elvis masks for JOV and as they leave the stage Jesse plays the opening chord to jailhouse rock (see if you can find it)..A great recording and a show full of great playing...this is the night where they played well individually well...the communication or band ensemble playing was sloppy at places but this would gel as well in Nashville..Thanks Sara...all of these shows are good-another winner but slightly behind Nashville because of the performance-recordings are both excellent...Thanks again to Ms. K.~ Tony |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS (CUTS IN AT VERY BEG). SOUL BROTHER. SWEET. PAST. BRN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:I told you guys about this one before I had the final version and Sara has done it again. this one I tell you I think slightly edges out charlotte for the best performance that I’ve heard-but it’s my opinion anyway..There is no doubt that it is better than the night before and Memphis was hot as hell...great show, great voice, great interplay and a return of instrumental restraint just enough to balance the mastery achieved from playing a lotta dates. The mechanization is also leaving Truth when the band comes in...Sounding more human each time it’s played...bassy Buffalo Grass rolls along...Mammon into Fascist Christ is wicked...pp is powerful whammo drumming just accents Todd’s extended lead guitar break..Todd wailing away into uncharted territory-Kasim and PP shifting the beats underneath-makes this as exciting of a passage as heard on the tour...ISP turns into a glider...weeps again is the hardest to get feeling behind at this point but the end solo is again extended beating the audience into emotional submission....god said contains a strange drum hit in.beg but brings back a lot of restraint to the mix. Nice to do. At the end of a numbing liar the crowd has the reaction of being in a coma...I don’t get it...the solo tunes are accordingly more restrained than usual which again is welcome...infidel stops for a spell...GO- Hendrix mood for Jesse this night and in an unprecedented move JG and JF begin to trade 4s...jf employs a jazzy then boogie woogie style...this is the best ensemble version of GO..SB-Todd says to band that they must be in some kind of hurry...they were a bit fast but not so much to note it...Todd then sings in a way to show he’s not pleased with the pace by (as he has done in the past) ignoring the rhythm with his phrasing..Cutting his own path...the mix of sweet is nice-low keys at the start give it a more organic feel...great vocal delivery...it’s all there tonight...Past again is very delicate...very straight, very nice...emphasis on BEEN living in then past this night. Synth-kind of floats up into play//PP and JG tonight are into the polyrhythmic interplay that FZ utilized with Vince Colauita on drums...bombastic at times but going full time..JF doing a plucking/pedal tone thing JF on the big jazz tip tonight...Kasim choedal thing ends with some beautiful chords very Brian Wilson-like...Todd really tries to throw Jesse tonight with the echo bit...with fades and bends...feel it is sparse and nice-ace version tonight..Strange angular lines on guitar...as bad and sloppy as nail was in Memphis-it is rededicated in Nashville...very accurate-best...JOV ends majestically with an extended solo...magnif...it’s amazing that our man is doing probably his best night to night performances of his career and he’s in his mid 50s............thank you Sara...it’s a classic performance/recording for sure folks...sorry there’s no timing but I will add it in this body later-roger's program won’t let me put it in later at the top.~ Tony |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. FLAW. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Show #4 of 5 new ones from Mr. Babcock and this may be the best one of the batch. Great sounding venue, recording super again...and the inclusion of flaw make this great...Todd always saves a great (and sometimes the best) show for the penultimate position...to me, these two stand even a little above the Fla shows because largely of the gravity of the last 2 shows of this leg..Which, in sum, to me has been the best tour ever...I don’t know what the hell Richard Lester’s saying that Todd’s known as "a Billy Joel type in the us" but that British fans know of his past accomplishments prog rock wise....what a pompous load of bullshit..Everyone reading this has probably been through many different Todd tours/ scenes, whatever...and we've seen all the shows...what is talking about? (Ref...July mojo)...anyway-I listened to the old 95 shows recently and this band now is so much more rehearsed, better singers, more defined parts..Let’s face it...a lot of the I tour was balls to the wall power rock-which is cool but I feel this tour displays musicianship and Todd’s musical trip as well as any tour he’s done..To me at this point it’s hard to say it’s not the best ever...everyone has their favorites but I loved it-wish there were different tunes added to the mix but I’m very happy and wish I could have made more-these CDs let us all be there and that’s the point of this..Anyhow-this is a great show and my comments are: Buffalo Grass is very weird...something’s strange w. bass again, guitar screams in solo (Todd very aggressive)...mammon very raved up...loss of precision... subtle accents shifting now in the tune. F Christ not as much groove this night...a lot going on ...solo section the band locks it in....ISP is actually suspended while the riff is repeated by the band to fix the bass..Todd mentions randy getting drafted by royals....Todd then says this has been the best gig yet...funny cause it is kind of a turning point...guitar more adventure than usual on weeps....god said-very pajama silky belly singing..Liar a sonic assault now that the rumble's gone from the bass...sb nice caution shown...sensitive jazz vibe...sounds better than ever...now rushing the start of lines to glide over the top of the verses..Flaw of course is an attraction but here the band is still fairly slow with it...I don’t know...kind of don’t like that whole "motherfucker" crutch...you know...”fuck you Jesse"...it’s ok...tune reminds of cameo on Todd’s album version. Sweet is nice pace. Flowing vocs continue-he’s on his game this night...top level-feel the testimony...past-nice and slow...crowd gives him due-almost perfect version though for some reason it ends a bit early....Synth- all the stops begin this night and from here on out-your hair stands up...great part which I wont like I usually do..Go overboard. Anyway-let’s say the call and response section now has the whole of the band in the end of it and is very Zappaesqe...very special version-band at its peak of playing sensitive to each other...very slow feel it..I do like feel it better in Albany but the lead and the way this one builds is odd cause pp plays very static...same with nail..PP very straight drumming after Synth...and above all he nails the solo end on JOV which makes this THE version...magical response. Magic night...magic tour...thanks for providing it to us all, Mr. B...~ Tony |

JUST ONE VICTORY Note:Another fine recording by Mr. babcock-he says he had to bail due to yap but you can only really hear one spot in truth...no biggie at all... the band was tight as hell and the majesty of this being the last show of this victorious leg is not lost on them...neither is the fact they were videotaping (again?) for DVD..Great choice...this is a great show...in my opinion, I like buffalo better on the whole but this has several all-time moments...his guitar leads have reached a new high at the end of the tour...squealy job on Fascist Christ...Blows doors off on ISP.....crowd energized by Weeps...not that tiresome tonight.....smooth around the edges is God Said..A few words mixed up in liars...nice flow to GO but I must agree with the daily mirror reviews that this is a low point of each nights show and there is much music of his they could have played instead...I also wonder why they would do Weeps in the UK but that show's up next..On this night PP lights up GO...pretty slow version of SB.....dynamics nice...no overplay tonight as much due to video rolling probably...Jesse plays a more Strat soul chord pattern in Flaw for the first time-this is not what Todd played on CD..Sweet picks up and the show goes way up from here...past - super version...very disciplined playing...which is hard when the tempo is so slow...amazing to compare Mr. Gresse's vocs with those in 92...vocals sound better than ever...best version of love science-Todd comes closest..Middle section still a bit funky...Synth...I usually comment on the styles of soloists...nothing new this night until JF goes very abstract from the start of his deal....even Kasim again this night..Jesse on echo-whole band involved...someone this night shouts Liar right at the dead air spot where the gal sang in Fla...Saddens me to hear Feel It...Proof again Mr. r is the world’s best singer with this performance this nite, i wont ruin the solo for you....all timer...crowd doesn’t seem to unanimously get it...they want nail instead...exchange between Todd Kasim and a fan..Todd (to the the fan): you want me to torture this guy (meaning Kasim)??? Kasim: I’m already tortured...talk of the DVD is the buzz...magical last JOV...so what have we learned from this tour? I think it is the most important tour he’s ever undertaken and the performances were at a level vocally that we haven’t seen for many years...Thanks so much to JB for taking us all to another level.....update: Weavil gave me the audio burn of the DVD-TR mixed-nice.~ Tony |

Recording is nice-you can hear it all clearly here...but the bummer is that the background vocals all night long are not arranged at all and are frequently out of tune...day tripper is atrocious to say the least..Todd is the star of the show and is the only one worth seeing here in my opinion...I think these are the only 2 shows all year for this proposition that has seen better days...particularly, Denny Laine appears to have been a basehead in the year between the last time out...His voice is gone this time out...Molland is so-so and Cris Cross is criss cross.....glad Farner's gone...and I really wish Todd would bow out of this gracefully..He’s got too much going for him on the solo scene now...it’s not the point where he’s going to get any new fans out of this and we all know he's being loyal to AP who always asked him, so you can’t fault him here..This must really seem silly to Todd at this point...the few things that I noticed that were neat were the "back on the streetish" version of if you want it....no matter what is actually performed about the best this night..golden slumbers-the end solo section has changed now so it is inaccurate arrangement- wise to the AR version...hey Jude has a mystery melody for awhile....you know I just don’t like the idea of paying big bucks to a band that just gets together and jams on Beatles tunes and with the level of arrangement that Todd has established--that’s about it...I know that there’s a core band that tries to do their best but this idea is gone now and I hope AP can do w/o the weekend of money and give this the burial it should have had a year ago....I will say the sound quality is key...another fine job by Sara k..Our roving reporter--hey this may be the last ever AWDAR show...who knows??~ Tony |

Note:The Bospop form Mr. Van Sleen is a different animal-sound is way better-all that shit about the sound at the concert was wrong and is unbelievably accounted for by the recorder on the Bessel recording...this show is actually very nice and is a one off- set wise- there is a slowdown in Temporary Sanity and PP forgets and ends WWE too soon but all is all a very passionate performance..I’m leaving my original note as a joke just to show how wrong I could be...this Van Sleen version smokes!!! Odd truncated show (set 1+ Temporary Sanity and WWE) - first, the sound varies greatly--some due to limitations of recorder, but mostly because this is Todd’s sound set up into the festival setup which due to our ampless deal here made things experimental sound wise-it does clear up by the second half but unfortunately never comes close to the achievements of the us recordings...here is a quick rundown: Truth is distorto..Sound really is hideous to start with...Buffalo Grass solo smokes, fast pace but a dramatic slowdown problem the result of a hand going up during verse 1...Mammon is decent..Fascist Christ had the backbeat feel and a fab pre-old-time religion breakdown...ISP rocked as usual...Kasim knocked it out...weeps (my q is why?) Extended...Temporary Sanity-PP altered (by simplifying) the beat...also slowed down significantly......Jesse and Kasim pull it through...sketchy....God Said...some popping, version is so-so...Liar...last tune??..Back for WWE--nice by the end but a strange breakdown happens about 70% through that the boys play their way out of but definitely drifted into adlib there when PP stopped playing...all in all-performance was decent, sound dreadful at the hall, recording average...hope theres better to come from the UK.~ Tony |

GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. CD TWO: FLAW (CUTS IN). SWEET. PAST. LOVE SCIENCE. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:This István version is the bomb-the bass is a bit high vol like the us stuff but nothing to complain about here...really a triumphant performance....here’s my old notes-get this one now: I guess with the history of the man eating peacock suit and countless others I can name, one could argue that Todd has always sabotaged himself in big or high pressure gigs..Not this time...although the British press essentially cried for the hits in an eloquent fashion...puke....(like a Midwestern hick here in the us), but put it in terms that also made us sound unrefined ala uncut ---don’t get me started----......etc..bs, the real fans in the UK know better...this was an excellent performance and ...there are some cut outs that happen throughout (ONLY THE URWIN VERSION) this and it does affect what would otherwise be a decent but not great recording...the hall was old and that certainly had a great deal to do with result..Some sounds not bad at all but most of all the performance was boss. generally, Todd seemed happy and treated it the same although the neggieEGO (we hadn’t missed it... believe me) seemed to slip back out a bit with the towel dab exercise and the razz of Kasim about his bass solo...: sound gets bigger on b grass and the solo is a wig out!..Confident f Christ...almost cocky (the "standard" said that) ISP is almost dance style-radically almost disco hihat pattern...guitar freak-out on (gall) weeps...plain gorgeous God Said--monster...Liar...super effort here...Todd notes his gratitude in seeing the place packed..Hey us fans, believe it or not they tried to get a beat going clapping during Infidel...same on LF...in complete honesty, I agree with the English rags that GO was a poor choice to include in the set...Kasim should have sung a tune or two instead... SB not as jazzy as the end of us tour-nice inprov'd vos at end by Todd....sweet shows some slight voc strain at top...past very nice ..Love SC...Todd ok on vocs, but sounds very 80s this night-esp. JF's solo...Synth...no real fire or excitement nice colors by Jesse..F ends up chasing PP- goes into 2x too early and shudder, the bass solo returns.(Empire City). Plays riffs from several including Hammer Singring and 7 Rays..Then Todd razzes him about the Meatloaf tours and no bass solos then...extended solo on glorious feel it and you’re stunned by the lack of response from the crowd, they obviously didn’t get it...Want of a nail revives the crowd some...they had been waiting on HIM...a great deal of roar greets JOV...which cuts...thanks to Gary for getting me this..It certainly shows what a good effort he gave...to me and all who will hear it-the hardcore’s-it was a triumph but again, I’m not sure what they expected by reading the reviews...VERY GLAD TO HAVE THE SPARKLING ISTVAN RECORDING.....thank god for you the UK fans and Paul Lester-can’t stop now..We want the Liars CD in the top 10 year lists in uncut and mojo..........~ Tony |

It’s nice to have, the quality is very good. But seems to be recorded from a great distance from the stage, and I don’t know how large the Academy (Venue) is. This audience recording is still very much of a keepsake from this wonderful Liars Tour. Thank you Gary Barrett! As you all can see, we have a very large selection of Fan recordings here in the Archives from the Tour. However, this is not even comparable to the great recordings by Istvan the nights prior to or after this evening.~ Warren Here's a small review by Glasgow Fan Jim Sutherland: "Twenty seven (27) years since he last played Glasgow with Utopia and twenty two (22) years since he last played Scotland. Most reviews seem to moan about the lack of his older numbers but, what they forget, is this a tour of his NEW album. I knew what to expect and enjoyed it, the old stuff was a bonus.The sound was great, his singing was great, his guitar playing brought back happy memories, the band were average." |

Note:What a show...the sound quality doesn’t live up to say London but their performance is right there. Certainly I can hear some high ceilings involved, but really nice to listen to and super performance> slightly abridged comments: one of best 1st sets (missed pre-Mammon, but what's here rules) some rumble on F Christ, love the groove...no talk into ISP..The fans appear to be puzzled as to why Weeps....passionate performance of God Said...almost a slowed down LF...nice gentle swinging grove on SB, possibly the best ever flaw..."see people in the back into it"...superb vocals on sweet front and back.....crowd goes wild on sweet!!...past still very nice but doesn’t quite measure up to d'sweet...great pace...BTS chronicles: wicked 1st solo by Jesse lots of bite to it-much whammy-use....this Beckish bite kind of folds into a torrid technical scale-like run right into the big teapot..One of the hardest, meanest solos (no coffeehouse run for Jesse??)Into a whammyblur...JF begins diminished chords to full on bebop-then a block chord jazz on top of the beat-very much at times sounding like corea-weckle duking it out...goes block crazy...nice line w/ PP intro. Into Kasim who really seems popular in UK...Chord plucking-very creative solo before turning to the riffs of the Ikon and seven rays-with PP cymbal accents, the best...something then about David Bowie's lollipop....ha...echo...then the mime part "I would fire 'em but it's the last gig..."sleep section..Odd music...." feel it-odd rhythm...feels as if there's no feeling...a mixed bag......Nail- notes missed...lead not on for JOV - all in all a nice show...thanks István!~ Tony |

BLACK DOG (YES, ZEP COVER) Note:Glorious one off in NYC that grew out of the wonderful Joes show from this summer. Joes Pub in the Paahhkk...!! Recorded by Mr. Roys in wonderful 24 bit-48kps and reprocessed to 16 bit-44.1kps...were now on a new planet of sound...the real bonus is the probably never again unique versions of weeps and Maria which will doubtlessly sneak onto many compilations of rarities in the future..Most a set solo set like the 03 tour...like my mother in law Cheryl told me about this night...Todd’s onto something new vocally in that he has more control and he doesn’t overuse his voice -tonight the strategy pays huge dividend as we get some of the most impassioned versions of these old chestnuts that we’ve heard too many times before but instead are transformed like they were last year by a fresh perspective especially vocally..This is more of that and even further there. Surprise that this night sees no Liars additions to solo set and only the centerpiece solo section is retained (Beloved, Lunatic) and both of these are awarded extra emphasis due to the impending/looming?? Rnc in the city. Cliché, IWHMAD both sound fresher than they have in years...clarity on the high end has never been better like on compassion this night...btw check out Mr. Moates review, Grady is the man........airplanes continue to fly over and Todd makes several comments about them..No "pakoluka" in Uke. (Is that because the theater crowd aint toking?-just kidding but a real curious omission for the first time in ages?)...some moments of levity in HIM (somewhat train sized) and an odd stop start end to fringe...weeps has Joe j singing the chorus part (...I don’t how...nobody told you...)- Todd does an acoustic solo in the solo spot-Stella violinist does all the "Jesse parts". The main riff sounds cool with violins. Then Todd says "if you think that was nutty, we have one more from the nutty bar for you...partly due to Todd's guitar being lower than the others, the song kind of hovers in with a bee like mimic of the electric power chord sustain on the original...the solos are very much patterned after the original Todd solos in most places (it's obvious that the lead violinist has heard s/a many times) J Jackson plays a solo- very bell like. Very nice unforgettable version. I-like almost everyone else think that Maria worked more than weeps (probably b/c Weeps is polar to JJ's style) but both of these and the others are the reason you need this. Given that this is a one off (and I still haven’t picked the best liars shows) I must say that you need to peel CD 2 off of this one and add to the Joes pub this summer as ESSENTIAL...I will get the Joe tunes on here when I listen in full but quality is very nice and as I said, if this PDA result is any indication as to what’s in store...things keep getting better -thanks to Mr. Roys (and Sara) for completely nailing this one important never again moment!!!~ Tony |

| 9/14/04 | PETALUMA CAL MYSTIC THEATER | AUDIENCE SARA K. | 55:21/77:00 |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS (CUTS IN). SOUL BROTHER. FLAW. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:The first of Sara's new west coast stuff reveals some progression since the UK shows we have. If you’re playing Petaluma, it is the mystic or no other place. The smallness of the venue also tends to yield the same style recording that we saw in Half Twisted where the drums are a bit louder than the other Pa stuff ala Pittsburgh and SF '99. But we get a few surprises here. Btw-Ike Willis was there. PP also is more animated than usual. The first set is where the drums are bit up in the house mix the crowd is into this show from start to end and Todd has 'em all riled up. Maybe that’s why the first set here is really hyped up. It is ironic that ISP (usually a kick in the ass of the show) is where the show comes under the groove. Before that it is a bit too hyped up for my taste. Yes things have loosened up as well. Weeps shows Jesse really playing his rhythm part very staccato or sharp-adding a nice choppy element to the sound and giving it different life. Even God Said is rushed and the boundaries are now broken down between verses to allow a straight 4 count into "...you are not" section (call 'em chorus I guess). Top notch vocs on liar. the solo section is superb here-especially infidel which we are told was written during HWs time-Todd pulls no punches and says we need to "return GWB to Crawford Texas" the crowd roars like never before and then the most inspired version ever of LF is delivered and the crowd is into it....nice loping pace for GO starts off set 2 with absolutely the best drum solo I’ve ever heard from PP..It is a phenom...crowd again wakkad and eats it up.....flaw is the best version yet-in sweet a strange thing appears in that it seems that the tuning between Jesse and John is very slightly off-Todd does a great job considering he had to split the difference..Another day at the office on a slower version of Past...great Todd performance. BTS shows some significant changes since UK, Jesse starts in a jerky style chords walking into a nice jazz run...the hard sound comes in and goes into teapot and Simpsons run...JF really is dealing with very abstract modal at the start around 11th even 13ths..Then falls into the standard blues based. The jazz takes off but doesn’t really work and you can tell at least some of these guys are not really jazz players...no bass solo...an Arabian nights flavor flows thru the band after Todd returns...JF says he’s conflicted when he’s called "Jane", Todd responds he’s been ....."Conflicted all night" maybe the tuning thing???We’re drifting into a bit much abusiture calling Todd the pitcher and rating Jesses echoes...after the last Todd says...ok everybody on the bus....I don’t know-I don’t think he has to appear this tyrannical-especially since he can’t hit some of the guitar notes accurately himself from night to night-should show appreciation for the dude-you and I know it’s for show but these are the things that gets Todd a rep for being arrogant...anyhow, the end is being played up..Unfortunately, Feel It never takes off...comments on how hot it is...HIM is mysteriously missing the "...don't change don’t change part"-instead it just hangs there...very good recording challenged by the small club but really worth a peek at the progress to date. Another great Sara recording. ~ Tony |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS (CUTS)>BORN TO SYNTHESIZE (CUTS IN). FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:2nd in set of 5 Sara WC shows. House sound is vastly superior to Petaluma and begins to show the PDA system power. In fact truth is probably as good on here as anywhere-b grass shows a more confident, strident and in control band than the previous night. Mammon returns to the former a bit stiffer but better version than the looser version played at the...in fact, you can say that about all that’s on here. As you can, a large chunk is missing (icld. Love Science) and the quality of the recording leaves you bumming that’s its gone (don’t worry-best yet to come)...shaky start to f Christ and a bit fast and the low end rumble begins. Phrasing from Todd (as we know by now) shows his distaste for the groove/speed...also while I’m at it, Kasim got way too busy on the coda sections till it sounded like a jam session at points..Nice extension on breakdown. Powerful ISP, Todd in slight rough voice...solos on Weeps are raunchy at end (nice) Kasim by now also really has the harmonies on exact phrase on God Said. (Someone yapped "very nice" afterwards. ditto. like cold water, someone calls out for "Piss Aaron" (in SF??). sermon about W continues "can't stop fighting evil"...LF played like it creates votes! a short GO then cuts to the bass solo in BTS...seems fast tempo to me and Todd actually asks the band to vamp surf music. Jesse Colin Young and the Youngbloods get a name check (hear that, Norman Smart??) on Kasim's banana suit...Todd remarks Jesse is nervous in his hometown (huh?? I thought he lived in Woodstock) when he misses the first vocal call/response. Todd remarks the band "plays like Mormons". Feel It is a bit fast and there is, believe it or not a Jesse mistake on a chord (you can count on one hand probably for the tour)...Todd nice vocs-all in all a bit too fast to ever catch the magic but closer. Fast groove less Nail during HIM something was happening onstage but it’s unclear what it was-crowd reaction pretty loud to whatever it was. Nice JOV...some excited encore yap here-you would think the bay folks know tapers are everywhere, but I guess when Todd said the yuppies moved in , this is what he meant..All in all another great recording-better performance on balance than the Petaluma show in that the band played together more as a unit...kind of like the Nashville vs. Memphis deal...Sara’s PDA is rocking.~ Tony |

| 9/17/04 | AGOURA HILLS CAL THE CANYON CLUB | AUDIENCE VARIOUS SOURCES | 57:24/79:15 |
| Date Added:10/4/2004 Track List:CD ONE: INTRO/TRUTH. BUFFALO GRASS. MAMMON. I HATE MY FRICKIN ISP. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. GOD SAID. LIAR. BELOVED INFIDEL. LUNATIC FRINGE. CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. FLAW. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:This show has a very rich deep sound from a vantage where the vocals are upfront and the guitars (esp. Jesse) in your face. The sound is absolutely fab and in my opinion rises to top of the scale of recordings -the performance is very together, very solid band performance on songs, Todd’s voice is very well defined on Mammon and shines. During the second set, his voice surprisingly hits the ceiling and gets a bit hoarse, most evidently on Sweet, but folks let me tell you this one’s special-set 1 is clear and deep without the rumble that’s plagued most venues. A clear perspective of stuff vocally is delivered here. Mammon may be the best version but a great vocal performance. The groove returns to F Christ vocs are tip top. Kasim hits a monster never before heard riff in this tune toward the end that is magical-you’ll know when you hear it...he’s really shown the most progression during the tour and has had the longest but most exciting learning curve and his long attention span shows in his flourishes he peppers through the set, always tasteful, never too much..He and the band play like a unit this night and the result is a magical first set...small mistake at turn of God Said again but super and Liar winds like an electric eel...some moron yells "play something we know" another asks for 'we can’t play this game anymore"..Weezuz in the land o' platsicity obviously...Todd remarks they had built up a head of steam and doesn’t protest too much when the guitar isn’t turned on/up. Second set although still masterfully recorded and consistent in sound (even in the DAT patch of Nail)...after a pretty stellar vocal performance, Todd hits his limit on sweet...past is odd with the keys so low but still not that bad of balance...I actually like it better on most tunes..Maybe that’s what Steve Stevens meant...was not the clarity for sure...Sara captured that without dispute here-you can hear for yourself. Past is a bit jazzier...it’s tough to talk in this terms but it is also low-key or as I said before calm and cautious...Todd vocs decent, not that exertional to protect, but rough in spots...Snyth: Jesse takes off of Todd’s phrase...pretty brisk tempo Jesse gets raunchier and noisier than usual on loud spot...straight blow on other...Ferenzik begins in diminished mode with blocks and adds synth to the jazz part before the end "stairclimb". Kasim peppers his solo with last of the new wave riders, hammer in my heart and the seven rays...remarks re shitstorm about "Florida being punished for something.." feel it the emotion returns, best of 3 so far but not on level of say Albany for me. Guitar work at end of Feel It spellbinding playing some polyrhythmic off PP's drums. Small hiccup on nail-patch sounds great-it's those mics!!Todd refers to fans "getting high in back of van" to being veep of corporation. Air of trimuphancy about JOV. Now, this show is a great one-in the top few-best so far of the WC shows and the recording, well-wait till you hear it...it’s the shit, man....I love it-don’t know what Steve Stevens was talking about-monster. ~ Tony |

Note:I'm not going to beat around the bush (well if the bush is w, i may..) but this show is an instant classic. the sound is nearly perfectly balanced with little to no bass overload. no sound at all from yap except a brief two blurbs where our reporter Sara K is discovered and forced to surrender her backup DAT and then is given it back within 5 minutes and she is told to "carry on". that brief spell does not prevent this from being one of the best shows from start to finish, both in terms of recording quality (breathless) as well as total band performance~ Tony |

GREEN ONIONS. CD TWO: SOUL BROTHER. FLAW. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:5th in the series of the Sara K. West Coast run finds us in state of AZ and with it comes a more cavernous theater that acoustically causes some slap back echo as well as dribble of yap here and there that mostly doesn’t distract but comes at some strange moments..the recording is sterling and does wonders with the hall but recalls venues like Count Basie in Red Bank and Tower Theater in Philly....some performance notes: truth-shows Jesse prominently and is good for you guitarists to see what lines he’s playing during 3d verse, chorus..Nice muscular rock version of Mammon...ISP ending crunch guitar sound by Todd--words get twisted on Weeps...god said is the fastest tempo I’ve heard ‘em take on this one and the yap from the young gals show they want the cockrock instead...what is nice is Kasim's harmony on a good bit of the lines, alternating between unison and harmony (mostly 3rds)..Balance of sound.mix a bit odd on Liar...BI and LF surprisingly no political message between...great version of GO, tight but lifeless version of Flaw, nice loping version of sweet--the "...everybody in the world...”part now bringing up the limits vocally each night (but he did conquer this passage back east, if you don’t believe me, check for yourself, night after night)..Past is really kind of sad tonight...again some distant yap close to the climax baffles the mind..... (How could you be there and yet not with him at that point??)...BTS - Jesse nice single lines jazz style...and mixes some blues but stays mostly in the Pat Metheny flourish style this night-then into the nasty dirty section which is extra nasty this night...again JF likes this diminished beginning but then veers into territory of blues/houseband (almost Paul Shaffer) style but then dots (even earlier on) his piano solo with oberheim (old Synth) sounds -no bass this night....inside joke revealed "for the want of sunglasses we lost 8 bars"...wardrobe malfunction...on feel it, we get a nice version that where Todd plays with the time vocally..a nice "clear channel" comment (evil) from Todd may indicate that’s he’s on our side (I think)--all in all a very sweet ending to an unforgettable run from Sara that cements this liars tour as the standard to judge all future tours/taping by..Thanks again to Ms. K.!~ Tony! |

LUNATIC FRINGE. GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. FLAW. CD TWO: SWEET. PAST. LOVE SCIENCE. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:One of our brothers from the Great Northwest checks in with this-the penultimate show of the west coast tour- this is on par with Jon’s excellent stuff he’s shuttled our way from Seattle area. Very small amount of yap/clap at the start of show but no more factors-the band is cooking ala the Cali shows. Drums are a bit prominent in mix due to the club set up-but very nice DAT recording...notes of show:..Indian drum feel comes back to the fore in b grass...humanity percolates in Mammon-either they’ve played it stiff and very computer like (like the album) or it’s been more influenced by the groove of the following number-and the latter tonight. Crowd into F Christ and nice "wild card" vibe on the extended breakdown-Todd can take ‘em where he feels they should go on the breakdown and is in total control...God Said is sung magnificently with much new emotion/inflection on lines like. “Can’t help...can’t help feeling left out". He’s still taking this music higher...we get a rousing approval/strike the great NW before the 'anything with a pulse running against GWB" speech...excerpts: "doesn’t Texas feel like a foreign country?? Might as well be china..." "Florida hurricanes are a clear message from god"...but even when things are darkest you need to keep fighting against evil." GO- a whammy extravaganza...PP goes off the rails on his solo (still not Petaluma).detached vocs on a faster than normal SB. Odd vibes on Flaw...ragged but unified...sweet-another gem...barely hits limits on Past and this night it is nice and super slow...in case you had a doubt, this is the new Verb to Love/Last Ride/Only Human..The great dramatic ballad of this modern time...glad to have it back...in the interim he tried to fit mated into the slot but it’s not quite the same...whereas mystical stuff like lost horizon, feel it are from a different strain altogether..I’m sure some would question this categorization...however I digress....love science is here this night-I really don’t like the tune that much but it is a bit tighter -BTS is an extravaganza as usual..Jesse w/ jazzy django style lines dissolve into a pool of calm water like sound...back to the whammy for the noisy part...pretty violent and forceful for Jesse...JF in the T Monk style-arpeggio trip-PP prods him...less energy than usual..But tonight the jazz section does take off...doubling lines again with oberheim sounds-upward but jagged. Kasim does on with Singring solo into a poppin affair-melodic-longer than usual, New Wave Riders, Hammer, 7 Rays-a better than usual bass solo...a smell here that makes a bass player want to play a solo..JF keeps echoing the kesy after the JG call and response section-screwing with Todd on purpose...kind of a mini mutiny...lots of impromptu stuff-not quite on the level of, say something as outrageous as pgh7/1/99 but getting there-would love to hear the final night.....kind of comes out of the fog unexpectedly....Feel It-Todd begins fighting against himself vocally toward the climax-the solo rises out of the swirl/scene-above average Feel It but not best (so far my fave version of Feel It is probably London and Albany, also Nashville and charlotte a close 2nd)-good groove on nail..Relaxed unifying version of JOV....god I wish this tour would go on and evolve more.....thanks to Jon B. again!~ Tony |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. FLAW. SWEET. PAST. LOVE SCIENCE. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:First of 2 new items from the east...Hiroshi catches the first 2 of the 4 in Japan by mini-disc. some things hit you right away with this one-first, this is the last go round with liars, second-this is show #1....the way it looks now is that we won’t appear to have a continuation of this tour in any altered way-looks like this is it...the Joe shows look to Todd going back solo for 05, so we'll see..The band has played this stuff out...this night, the band is treated to a more traditional Japanese rock audience who clap along to everything (including born to synthesize)...sounds like a very intimate setting, small place and this is, performance wise (less so sound-wise) the slighter of the two..it just sounds as if there's been some time off and there's caution and also somewhat of a lack of sensitivity going on in set 1..some mistakes have popped up, but by set 2, all is headed back into the groove..Specifics: b grass shows some drag in tempo...rust is evident on the steel sides of the ship that is Mammon.back vocs Kasim off here-groove somewhat returns on f Christ but weird around the edges still...Jesse sounds slick..Todd misses the no-sing hole on ISP at end and his voice is weary here. But all in all Todd’s voice is quite good this night.....sound of 1st set peaks with god said....after a cautious and good weeps...but Todd forgets lyrics and then Kasim slides all over the place trying to find the harmony slot on the chorus..Liar sounds like a big muck this night and I’m sure the band was glad to end set 1. The mid solo tunes are nice (but guitar IS out of tune a bit) w/ clapping and set 2 is far better result: Jesse plays an unreal solo on GO, rust is now gone by SB...Nice groove...flaw however does not have as many miles on it, so it’s a bit more difficult to get back in the swing with-a very long version. Todd’s vocs shine on sweet-unusual adlibbing-great range of voc demonstrated...past is slow but actually swings/lopes a bit (a hint of "verb to love" feel) -Todd stammers a bit through it and phrasing differs a bit on adlib also here. Didn’t expect l science on show 1...more like 2nd wind than ever before (feel wise)...BTS: Jesse in Joe pass mode but soulful bluesy almost Claptonesque to the edgy part...then the best part-an incredibly modular run (in the "Simpsonian" mode) up the whole of the neck that runs straight into the boiling teapot JF plays lyrical melodic over some nice shifting left hand figures..obie runs in and gives this an fz 84 Alan Zavod feel...bass solo yes and it’s a damned good one- much less regimented than before and an actual sculpture before only dipping into the theme bag...brow sweat action into v3...No Catholic reference...no lock on Feel It, has no feel...Todd only tangentially there-he resists the temptation to get involved emotionally and that leaves this a very odd version..Guitar solo just appears, no real emotional intro at all...guitar like I said just kind of falls in...This version is odd for sure...Nail get Todd’s hoarse but true, HIM-nice slow pace punctuated with extra long silences at the stops...(don’t change, part, etc)..the crowd just wails for Todd-you can hear there are real hardcore’s there that are all wrapped up in it all...JOV also is odd in that Todd goes into that "ignore the band type phrasing"-may have been pissed at something..PP is way laid back on this tune-the echo or slap back put on the keyboard part also give this a different feel/sound...in sum, a pretty unique show -leans towards one of those "other" nights, but not really wholly: a lot can be attributed to the layoff, jet lag-but it is a bit better than that due to the uniqueness of certain tunes this night makes this one to check out..However, if you only need one from this mini-tour, things got markedly better on night 2 in Osaka. Thanks to Hiroshi for being our pal from Japan (and a Todd fan of the highest order) and coming through for us yet again with two nice sounding digital recordings of the happenings in his backyard...~ Tony |

CD TWO: GREEN ONIONS. SOUL BROTHER. FLAW. SWEET. PAST. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. FEEL IT. WANT OF A NAIL. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:There’s no doubt that this night for the most part was superior to the previous show - the sound is markedly better but there are also some very odd things about this show. One is crowd reaction-for the majority of the show, it is very polite but largely just polite clapping. Like London, feel it this night is magic and there's faint applause following it...more shockingly, the crowd does not yell "mother fucker" at the end of flaw-Todd had to do it over and sounded miffed about it..It was odd...the performance in spots is ab fab...like I said Feel It is a peak...but here’s some more detail: Jesse’s brain may-esqe parts at the end of Truth glisten...pretty intense Mammon-keys mixed very low on it..Kasim solos now on every head part of fascist Christ (too much)...PP's bass drum work on this tune really kicks it in gear towards the end...God Said has repeated timing mistakes-which I suppose are due to failure to be able to hear the guide/click tracks..Oddly, the crowd goes all happy and clapping at lunatic fringe....Jesse does his solo in complete Todd style on GO, PP solo nice...flaw has the above happen and Todd tells them on a repeat the line deal.."Do me a favor"...sweet-tip top vocal place...past-we now see more adlibs-very heartfelt-exceptional version...then, as if the night hasn’t had enough strangeness, here comes the claps on BTS...a very water-like Jesse solo, really intense solos and a slightly different version of shenanigans for the Japanese market..Like Nagoya, long pauses this night...nice Kasim solo in BTS...very long version of BTS but crowd loved it...feel it is the bomb-peak of the night...funkier than usual Nail...then on the encores this chant: clap clap-we want Todd, not the normal...1234..we want Todd clap,, we want Todd clap .........all in all a super duper 2nd set and an ok first one considering the problems.....thanks to Hiroshi- another great Japanese show..Wish I’d been there to see them...thanks again to the man!!~ Tony |

WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. BLACK MARIA. Note:First of all this show is myth bursting...why? Well, the hell that erupted when Todd elected to explain the glitches this night started an avalanche of complaints about set list, professionalism, etc...it sounds just like an opening night sounds for every artists. No, this show is not an unmitigated disaster? Yes he is shaken from the mistakes at spots, but the crowd does not boo at all......in fact, you never believe it until you hear it but some of this show is nice as can be..Tie You Down is perfection...LCM -Todd has some voc range stretching to do for the tour but is well played....Cliché presents a very dynamic form-the middle almost hushed for extra effect...I Saw The Light has Todd pulling out one he handn’t played solo since ‘99..so there’s a few stumbles in trying to pick out the jazz chords...great to hear it again....Todd then delivers a pinch of self deprecation "incredible musicianship so far....put it out of your mind-when I go to this complicated machine (piano) all bets are off”...IWHMAD small line mess up..The climax after the bridge in fact gets a roar of approval from the crowd....then the Viking incident...he starts 2x , then skips it...(more than once on this tour with this tune)..Free Male and 21 finds OH shaken a but from the Viking things, but he gets through it...glazes over lines, you can tell his concentration is all on his fingers at that point...goes into the Billy Joel razz again on HIM…doesn’t stop on HIM and gets thru fine...Uke is next and the crowd in FL. loves it, BI and LF are nice reminders of Fla's part in the political insanity we've seen, then One World-ends w/ great applause....after JJ's real men statement.....then PTC a bit quick but dead on...on Weeps Todd's gtr goes out when plug is out for a second-big deal....JJ fucks up lyrics on Weeps, Black Maria I must say, I have no idea why on the last song of the night-the solo is played by JJ. ~ Tony |

WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. BLACK MARIA. Note:This show has some weird shit going on but I really like it- I think the two versions are very similar but you listen and tell me what you think-both can be listened to with ease...it was a large hall so you can hear some high ceilings....the very loose and fun LCM gives way to the usual 2nd tune, tie....Lysistrata is really frantic..Then blows away on a power packed Black & White ("I will get obscure on your ass once in a while")...then the Leroy stuff starts...Todd echoes "ooh Leroy...your mama's coming..then threatens to send Leroy out to deal with the hecklers when it keeps going...a false start on Compassion but clobbers it outta the park-Todd talks about being in NC to see his Son play ball (Winston-Salem), the Grasshoppers, and their new stadium..Real nice extended jazz-like end on Compassion...before BI he reminds everyone that now we need to get the protests up again...”your brothers are still other there in harms way”....then after this- again a frantic paced run down the 1st verse of Lysistrata again..don’t know if he meant to go into one world or maybe to underscore what he said before BI...after one verse only and a false start, (did he know he had already done the tune??? we'll never know??)He goes into The Wheel...the encores...blah blah....PTC really nice again is all that matters...I like it allot-I went to 3 and this one is better than all but Philly (I know there’s much more to come)..But I like it thanks Mike and Pat...~ Tony |

Very good acoustics with some slap back...some hecklers really out in force...Todd comments on the venue often..Some probs with gtr on LOTCM but very strong Cliche'. Early version of Afterlife...still working out the flow or vibe of it...Viking is very nice...And a strange slip of the tongue in IWHMAD-I rewound it 3 times and this is indeed what he sang:"made me FORGET ever wanting you"...rather than regret...maybe you psych majors can tell me what that means.....HIM is rough...here comes the Leroy stuff again....Uke finds the Uke mic not on and hardly audible...very sweet end to the show-last 2 songs of solo set sparkle. The encores are all nice. His voice is good this show but not great. Getting over a cold? Great addition from the Mr. R. and sound is great-similar to Philly-nice acoustics in hall.~ Tony |

(Reminded me of feel it in London last year where you expect thunderous applause and get bewildered response instead)...fine fine version of One World...PTC a bit lacking, Weeps and Black Maria especially are nice at this show...as good as it gets recording wise from Balt from rich..And the performance is pretty decent.~ Tony |

BLACK MARIA Note:So far the best performance-based on what I've heard-in another league with the other shows...the sound is the cavernous classical hall is perfectly captured with the PDA and creates an environment you can swim in. some may find this different to Sara Cerritos or Richards Delacorte, it is due to the hall but what amazing sound properties are on this CD. You hear Todd talk about how good the Uke sounded...it does...as for the performance, there are some moments of majesty...Hawking is what will be remembered first from here..The first minute shows to be clunky in spots, and then he takes it to the next level until about 2.45, etc...(..Lean in a little closer...) and then we're off on a trip that takes us into one of those transcendent places- and you can just float along at that point until the end...it’s an all timer...no question about it...Cliché is damned near perfection...No blunders, high level of confidence...this is the anti-Melbourne (which didn’t exist anyway-have you heard it?)-peak peak peak...great recording in big acoustically perfect hall of a triumphant homecoming/recognition type of thing...sweet as pie...another great PDA job by Rich and Sara in tandem? The proximity from the stage allows the PDA to pick up stuff like Todd stomping frantically on One World and his little stage mumbles, etc...real nice one top to bottom...and oh yes, after Hawking, there’s about a minute of banter that starts with a fan flippin over Hawking and then Todd allows himself a rare moment of reflection to enjoy the moment..Priceless~ Tony |

Note:This performance is better than what I had thought but does not measure up to Philly...Todd breaks a string very early...yes there’s the fs on Viking, but take that out and the shows pretty good-yes it is the S/A show..Very unique and solid (kind of train track pace) on IWHMAD...HIM is pretty solid in fact....we get a spontaneous adlib...(I go out the shed and I bang on that thing like it was John Bolton's head)...hey its DC....for once, PTC is a bit underwhelming..Todd has several croaks of voice on points...he talks about the Nats, etc...As for the recording, I’ve never heard a better Warner Theater recording in all the years it’s been here...Simply wondrous recording, decent but not super performance...but you can’t beat the recording..I should say that ISTL was nice to hear-it is a nice version here just got in the Barry DAT verison-sweet...~ Tony |

Afterlife is also real nice of course...the show is very well recorded and is a good but not great show of the standard set of 05..great job from Jon B! What Todd called his most "loopy" show is not that bad. Yes HIM is rough as usual but Hawking is every bit as good as Philly from start to end-Todd talks about his 75th Street Apartment. Talks about arranging tunes, investments, lots of fun-not great not bad- the recording is pretty good though I have suspicion there may be on out there better...oh yes and Mike a sent me the DVD~ Tony |

WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. BLACK MARIA Note:Holy moly Jon B's back in town! Great stuff here from my man’s journeys around to deliver great recordings of Todd stuff...this is no exception--similar in sound to Philly and the larger serious venues on this tour-Todd’s set is fine once he gets going-LOTCM is a bit shaky at the onset, then it is fine dandy..Peak part of this is Tiny Demons and ISTL, both great pace and phrasing...total command...super compassion despite not having his highest end of vocal range..He makes do well...pretty confident Viking... (Jokes afterward he getting paid by the note)...another nice Hello It’s Me...Talks about Poughkeepsie weather (cold)...in the middle of Uke -'in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the HIPPIE sleeps tonight'...some old Woodstock razzing...anyhow-very nice but gets even better as john b delivers some new shows for us all to drool over here less than a year later...~ Tony |

BLACK MARIA. AMBIENCE. Note:Well, it took me a awhile to list this but let me tell you it is the bomb...great sound and right up there with the best ones of the tour..The sound is just boss and the show is a whole one...this and the Columbus show make a nice pair from Mr. B...at the start we hear 'pork city...lets pig out!'...crowd really eats B&W up-go nuts...Todd then talks about Bogart’s...talks about puking onstage there and then says something about it going up on eBay...spellbinding version of infidel....big time....rest of set goes out grandly..The rare CWSBF takes us away...still Lysistrata is an odd closer but the guitar could sound better-the spider lets you hear the strings rattle that’s for sure...Todd's vocs were a bit worn but still the performance and especially this recording is what the tour should sound like..It’s very nice...big thanks from us all to Mr. B for this last batch! Great stuff indeed...~ Tony |

WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. (JB ONLY). BLACK MARIA (NO WEEPS ON 1ST VERSION-INCOMPL) Note:Incomplete 2 CD of avg quality but decent performance...contains the ultra rare piano CWSBF and a strange version of the Wheel -that just seems hell bent on derailing...I like it...Viking is also a dandy tonight with an adlib bluesy thing before the fast verse that will blow your mind....big hall, a bit dist UPDATE (3/06): I’m a bit late at adding these great new Babcock shows-this and Cincy are just superb sounding....as you see this is an important show as it contains some stuff not otherwise played..And what a show it is-sounds super!! Some additional highlights: Todd talks about the Newport theater...ultra-rare version of CWSBF on piano...no classical intro to HIM, which is kind of nice...in introducing Uke we get an all timer “come away with...uh...come...uh...come to me, and with me, but not on me".....but this is no doubt one of the ones that worked, this and Cincy..Nothing average here...this smokes the old one badly...a few more bum notes on Demons and ISTL, but what the hell...it works...I’m now far enough away from the show that I can say that the sound of the spider guitar sucks in the halls he played it in..It sounds NOT full bodied...too much string sound and not enough mid-to-low...but I digress, this show sounds great and an even better one was in Cincy....Jon B is the man!~ Tony |

BANG ON THE UKE DAILY. AFTERLIFE. YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOURSELF AWAY. LYSISTRATA. REAL MEN. PRETENDING TO CARE. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. BLACK MARIA. Note:Sound is pretty raw here...some yap but there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on here...first off, early -Todd gets pissed early...claims its all gibberish to him...says he feels like "John Bolton at the UN...You mean there's other languages other than English...."...then describing ISTL...he says it’s like a starburst...a bit sour but you like it....then he threatens to offend everyone in the house..."I could empty this place in 5 min..Don’t tempt me...” really somewhat emotional rant-a bit on edge...goes into the donut in Viking and does the soul thing he did in Columbus...BI is choppy but slow and nice center section but vocs are worn some...the real shocker here is CWSBF, which we've learned from time to time (like a Dream Goes On Forever) will pop up at any time but lately is not planned at the keyboard. Sound here is not so good but contains some interesting jabber and a nice CWSBF...~ Tony |

THE OHTHER ME. PRETENDING TO CARE. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. BLACK MARIA Note:Sound not bad but not superb either. there is a motor sound in left channel that if removed would make this way better, but still it is enjoyable with the motor sound even....major screw up in cliché and Todd then talks about NOT being a snowman...great ending on BI improvs..Mid section of Viking also freaky like Milwaukee...Lysistrata he stops, as if he thought he’d played it before, then goes back into it....thanks for H for getting it to us...~ Tony |

AFTERLIFE. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. (JJ) THE OTHER ME. GOT THE TIME. (TR) PRETENDING TO CARE. BLACK MARIA. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS Note:"...I don’t know what my fans want to hear......." Todd mutters along the way- summing up the quandary that is the US tour-wrapping it here. And what a show it was...save for cliché and lcm where there are some bad guitar moments, this is about as good of a show as we’ve heard on the US tour..The first noticeable thing is a boost in confidence...and a clear (and obvious to even the casual listener) direction towards improvisational delivery on every song...what a great benefit to 'em all...ISTL is astounding the way he scats in and out of the "jobim" as he calls it this night or bossa arrangement..Infidel is chilling and Todd delivers vocally all night up to and including the encores....I have heard Amsterdam, so I know it carried on...I’ve talked about it now for several years but there’s a great deal of even more variance unleashed compared to the east coast dates..You will be very pleasantly surprised...and yes, Hawking is glorious, no bad spots on this one-except revving up, the Viking - but even HIM is played straight through-there is a great deal of shift here away from 'come what may" to "make it happen"..He’s finally relaxed-Afterlife is slower...the key for him this time out was tempo-too hurried for the bulk of the US tour. Whoever taped this (I thank you), probably DAT...Low to no yap...very important for all East coasters to hear this one...A revelation for those who haven’t heard what happened after the East Coast. this show is replete with adlib vocals and a completely different attitude to the almost rushed, tense vibe of some east coast gigs, the music is all very liquid...the vocal intensity varies as does the tempos, the music breathes and it is wondrous-great version of Hawking...whatever was off kilter before is not at this show, relaxed, slower paced Afterlife again makes all the difference..Todd did not pound this out as he had to do earlier in the tour, he let the music come to him, mixed up his vocal phrasing and delivered a very nice closer to the US tour...you need this one...trust me-in light of what came before and after, this is bliss...thanks again to Mike, affectionately referred to as "the Moz".....important one here for sure. To clarify: Not only did Mike send me an unknown tapers recording (which is good) but he also recorded the show and I believe it's the best of the two~ Tony |

Note:No nothing new yet but instead a great spot performance and nice recording by Gary on the first UK date. their performance is confident, he flies thru Viking as if it’s nothing-Compassion shines, a very nice both afterlife and Cliché… PTC shines this night- been from some time off on vocs..Actually Maria starts tired but ends up being inspired. Nice one to wash away the weirdness of the US tour and get on in a comfortable space...he sounds more relaxed than he has all tour long. These guys appreciate it....thanks Gary…fine show...~ Tony |

BLACK AND WHITE. LORD CHACELLOR'S NIGHTMARE SONG. PRETENDING TO CARE. STOOD UP. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. Note:Decent, not great recording of London show which, performance wise is a mild disappointment to last year's crusher at RFH, on this recording Lysistrata is on here 2x at the front...someone needs to fix it. And also fix that it is a big one tracker....yes there is a train wreck on Hawking which he actually stops, starts to offer an excuse then stops and plows back into the tune..fabulous adlibs at the end....weird email announcement comes during B&W, this somehow had a computer component to the recording set up but the mics are not that boss..Stood Up is real nice.....much much looser Weeps...lots of mic noise and some weird tonal things...but most of it is easily listenable...if you were there, you want it..otherwise, there are better euro shows both perform and sound wise.~ Tony |

Note:Splendid version of song with all new ones save soundboards...nice sound-some mic noise but still great...some stuff I noticed a new intro to Viking (come away with me now to the land of violent men and blonde women)..Missing pakaloma section on Uke...BI is very nice vibe...slow PTC...remember slow is always better...one of nicest UK ones- you need it...thanks-Smeeg from Mr. Hough: just a bit of info regarding the Liverpool show. The recording you got from Smeeg was from my original DVD recording of the show which I sent to him. The last two tracks are from a different recording source, as my DVD battery went flat after 'pretending to care’. The encores are only recordings from a stereo Dictaphone that records at 128 k/s mp3~ Tony |

Note:Full of 'come away with me nows'...remember its Amsterdam and I’m sure our man spent some time at least visiting the coffee houses...still voice is not too glazed...great phrasing on ISTL...on SB, Todd plays the organ riff..Very odd one to do...not all parts covered in Stood Up but most...not too bad of yap and moderate quality, better than avg but not near great on any versions so far. Performance was decent...if you need only one UK, this is ok but would be better w/ Liverpool or German show.~ Tony |

YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. AFTERLIFE. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. PRETENDING TO CARE. REAL MEN. STOOD UP. GOT THE TIME. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS Note:This second show is a gem-Todd seems so fond of Amsterdam, it’s clear he is in a good mood--he claims he almost forgot he had to play...István does another remarkable job-there are even volume fades on applause sections to help out the overall sound buts its real nice..Inclusions: a top level jazzy flitting about ISTL which comes across so coolheaded ("like a piece of candy found on the ground...what's that other flavor in there??-ha-ha)...standout Viking...new intro "name that tune" to HIM...superb ending...one of all timers in Hawking-best I’ve heard on the euro tour...just so much emotion...some donna summer thing...calm Demons as well.....in center of Uke, Todd inexplicably sings Katrina down the waves "walking on sunshine"..He also says at start of show "a ray of sunshine" must be something to it...afterlife is said to be about "being dead"??...all in all-the encores even better than 6.11, it’s another recording triumph for István....another one you got to have-both of these Amsterdam shows have a vibe that I didn’t catch until I heard these ones...great laid back phrasing, taking chances, the rote tendencies are cast away more than ever...his approach to the set list is almost jazz like in that you never know how he's going to feel it...I’ll bet it only gets more like this in the future, an American parallel can be heard in redwood city..........happy happy- I love it..thanks to István for this wonderful duo.~ Tony |

Note:Nice set list- decent sound but loud burst from Ethel and others at time makes this sonically inferior to Berlin but the set list and performance are better euro show-interesting the language barrier leaves Todd's little quips kind of frozen... Todd sounds ten years younger on Cliché-voice is generally in mint condition...talks about his wiener dogs...get feeling of complete control during B&W...Afterlife is nice slow pace...monster IWHMAD......JJ loses it during Got The time...yells at the light man to stop the blinking lights, it’s stupid..........adds harmony on lines never before on Weeps...~ Tony |

Note:Great recording...set list leaves a bit out here, no Chancellor's or Stood...show must not have been a sellout-JJ asks people to bring friends next time... LOTCM is a bit hoarse, forceful version...comments on good looking people in the audience...def a night where he plays with phrasing more than Hamburg...B&W is choppy as hell--sounds distracted by verse 2.. Compassion just pops in now and then..Comments that he’s been on the road very long time on Viking...does Ethel intros before PTC which is right after his set...better for Todd momentum...long James Brown, soul NH style ending on soundboards makes it interesting...(I don’t really like the tune, sorry) note that Black Maria is gone..I knew when it was first done that it wouldn’t last...it wasn’t an apropos tune to do with 'em, so it’s gone-In fact I gleaned same from Todd in DC..He wasn’t happy about it being in there thanks to Moz for his never ending endeavors...~ Tony |

About an hour each CD. Takes you through the whole of the encores: wait for me--Todd trades vocs with DH, Todd plays guitar solo CWSBF- has DH singing first...Still Be Friends....nice version with an improvisation on the la la la middle section...Rich Girl is the odd one out here every night...song is just not fit for the zig zaggy back and forth version between tr and dh..Easy to get lost...again a lead at end of tune by Todd but most times is mixed way too low to hear well..ISTL yes has the Todd and the h and o dude playing the 2 guitar solo on the original (the guitar player also does the LP guitar part which is nice to hear) kiss on my list some custom breaks and Todd also plays some guitar in harmony like the ISTL and does pretty well night after night on this one..Finally Todd gets to the point by altering the words the The Ojays classic...he says "tell all the folks in Iraq and Israel too"...I would add Pennsylvania avenue in Washington DC to the list.....lovely but repetitive...take it in small doses but it can’t be beat.~ Tony |

AMBIENCE Note:Well if you want a show from this tour…the first one out and loaded with mistakes..you can tell the band and Todd are uncertain and yes, it’s fascinating as hell....right off the bat, Buffalo Grass and the echo "already gones" are gone onto a different melody that belongs not in this tune..Get used to JM's laid back groove-solid as a rock but largely unexcitable also....TL has a big bass sound here and thru the tour there was an issue about the stick...when it was used, the bass would disappear, in fact he was hardly audible with it anywhere on the tour..in general, Todd's gtr is buried a good bit in the mix...shaky dynamics/accents abound--ISP is nice pace but is a mess -TL misses notes, the ending is blown and they meander along for a few bars post..Jesse is the one bright spot of the show, his solo on SB is astounding...ala his solos in GO on Liars tour...Mammon/FC is stick-ville so adjust your EQs accordingly (on the whole tour)...major screw up on FC Todd’s vocals-sounds like he’s too busy making sure everyone else is doing what they should...he musta had a headache at the end of this night...Fascist Christ shoulda been a bit more funky…Temporary Insanity is very fast..Todd tries to slow it down but can only vary so much...'all Americans now claim to be Canadian when they travel abroad" (WTF?)B & W has very odd dynamics and continues throughout the tour...it just never really felt right-odd dynamics...Drive has a big screw up at the start which requires a restart, and the words are off (really horrendous version)Slut works well, so do the 2 covers..After all this stuff, Hawking is actually quite nice-mostly a great Todd performance vocally...WWE is too fast and I don’t think Todd in all 7 shows ever could complete the end rap...too fast..LOTCM is nice and his voice carries it...great to start and great if you were there but it really is a warm up gig and if you want a show or 2 from this tour, this is not it....the recording is boss-very very fine stuff, but the performance sounds mostly slapped together and it gets way better as the tour goes on, trust me on that one....great job by Canadian traveler of all modes of transport, Mr. Jon Babcock…Todd taper extraordinaire.~ Tony |

THE WALLS CAME DOWN. NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. DRIVE. SLUT. LUNATIC FRINGE. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. AMBIENCE Note:Stop number 2 for JB and Todd and the boys and this road copy I have will be replaced due to a bit of digital noise on the transfer but it doesn’t mar the CD to listen to...as for the performance, it is getting better than Vancouver but prob 60% of where it belongs..it is very bass heavy and there exists the big EQ diff depending whether TL has his stick on...band is still a bit tentative yet-it does change in Winnipeg and the sound of the stick is the best by far in Montreal of all of these shows, Todd’s gtr is at times a bit low in the pa mix---as with all but mon, JB had these mics away from the yap in a sweet spot...particulars: Buffalo Grass-house adjusting the PA during the tune; ISP is pretty great version...Black Maria- wish Todd here was up vol some, JM almost stops during solo..Sounds lost for a second, a strange version here, TL makes a goofball mishit at last chord of song...Todd makes a joke 'last time I was in Calgary, I was in a bull riding contest’....SB-tremendous solo by JG, nice version; mammon-bass disappears, Jesse has trouble with chords I spots (very unusual), more probs with FC, rough version, breakdown not usual for old time religion, weird accents..ISTL- dual lead mostly on (it was on every nite I’ve heard), TS- not too bad, Todd gtr still low vol but audible, "Lets throw the dial on the way back machine)...B&W-this is the oddest start you’ll ever hear to this one, mess up bug goes from TL to JG-Jesse plays some tremendous lines...WALLS-bass back on, rougher than Vancouver dyslexic, Todd says "that’s why this bootleg will be worth so much more!"..No 1 Lowest nice leads but still low vol, a slight bit fast, not wobbly enough...slut-ragged but right, very rough patch on the extra bars in 2 laces of LF..Hawking does not reach the heights on other nites and there is a part where Todd sings flat (very strange, very uncommon)...WWE feels great this night.....as I said before, JB should be doing another version of this for us soon, so hang in there..Not quite in prime form with the band but getting there quickly...Thanks again to King Jonathan for this peek!~ Tony |

LUNATIC FRINGE CD TWO: NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. DRIVE. SLUT. THE WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. Note:Show number 3. Big strides this nite, in fact, for those of you looking to get the good/great shows, this one is the last so-called warm ups. All good after this one...Jon told me about this venue=he said it was a beautiful place but that it had another band playing in the basement of the joint at a place called (Guess...the Velvet Underground.....I guess it’s so far from the rest of the world, Lou hasn’t heard about it and sued 'em yet)..Long way to travel...particulars: no already gone back vocs on Buffalo Grass; momentum is lacking at the first tune somewhat, Todd gtr is low as usual, premature ending for ISP but feel is nice, after BM you notice what a tame crowd (I guess the variety of weed in Edmonton that’s preferred is not sativa....) still gtr of Todd’s is blazing but buried still somewhat..Todd tries to "drown out whatever is next-door" on soul brother which works well this night, great solo by JG, mammon (the road version has a few hiccups here), pretty well played FC-screwed up leads a bunch of 'em and a missed ending, extra jamming cuts both ways but is prob the worst version of this on TNE tour. ISTL, did not start together, dual lead spot on; B&W-ok-pretty nice one-one of tours better versions, after NO1, Todd asks someone in the crowd "loud enough for you-are your ears ringing yet?", Drive is too fast, whereas Slut is really super..Todd then gets stooopid on the crowd...”Edmonton...Edmonton...is this town named after Edmund O' Brien? You know, from the original DOA)...pretty amazing version of Hawking....one of better ones?? Very nice one....WWE is real fast this night, so fast that Todd misses big chunks of the rap, but end is real nice (come on come, etc) LOTCM- the PA is off when come back on but voice shot, but the emotional exchange takes place big time...another winner from King Jon..Next stop on, they rule!~ Tony |

Note:Manitoba time, Neil Young’s place, this is show #4 and we're in the money from here on out...what this means is that the shows are now pretty glitch-free and the performances are super..This show Todd’s gtr is louder than the others (and stays that way the rest of the tour for the most part)...this is a pretty great show and they get better and better still...JB did lots of ambience on this one....particles (ha): still no back on already gone of b grass. ISP kicks ass, great rock sound, tempo super-one of best if not the best ISP here, great vibes to BM, TL plays nice feels/riffs w/o too busy, great Todd gtr (of course), very creative leads by Todd, nice 16ths pattern on snare against the beat by JM to create great needed tension/release..Afterwards "we feel kind of loose here. What is this? When we got here they were advertising tomorrow nights show! The voice of deep purple", then Jesse adds the obligatory smoke on the water riff...Todd then chimes in "no respect...”SB-one of best again, jesses solo has to be heard to be believed...best stick sound at this point (but Montreal is best)best version at that point of Mammon, Todd takes chances on chancy on his solos on FC and it pays in droves for the stretch out scene, JM really playing out a bit polyrhythmically (nice to see/hear) ("we're going to satisfy your sweet tooth (ISTL) then back to your meat tooth") Temp Sanity is too fast but it’s here that I realize that the confidence is starting to show out loud..Some crackles w/ sound system (prob the stick) middle lead missing...bass sound is pretty under control this show...afterwards Todd remarks himself and seems to agree with me "pretty good night for us because we're all ending the same place (see Edmonton, Calgary, etc)-it took us half the tour..as soon as we'll get good at it, the tour will be over' again his nod to our little scene "I offer you invaluable bootlegging opportunities!" you know, I’ve waited years to hear him have this mindset, so I’m glad he now knows the value of what we do and tips his cap...."did you hear the way he screwed that up?..the wires will be burning" or here......love it.....B&W-real feel TL is more a problem than JM this night on this tune..Great solo, I mean great by TR in middle...he’s always the best when he strays off the beaten path and takes chances...TR again talks about bootleggers with cell phone recorders...and that he’d never recorded this tune before (LF) that he knew of. Decent, nice, not the best version of LF ...great version of No1 leaving me wanting Todd to solo forever...drive is super and by now this show is turning out to be a monster..Slut is super (yes I think the best version of the tour)...JG does a slide gtr! Lead this night on Walls (btw you guys know this is a "call" tune from modern Romans LP)...and then as if we needed any more to convince us, Hawking takes us on an interplanetary trip..Jazzy, breathy, strolling a bit more than usual but just wondrous...JM plays this like no other drummer so far (sorry other guys but JM is on a diff level with anyone else who’s played this so far on drums)-he’s just rhythm itself for real....exquisite...the tune almost feels stax-like or Memphis influenced/Aretha..Just...you have to hear it...all timer version.....WWE brisk and confident....Todd’s vocals are just magnificent...LOTCM ender....Todd to the crowd "you’re...you’re sweet like Canadian bear meat!" sweet it is, my friends, sweet it is..Thanks King Jon for the first of 4 killer classics-!! Show number 4 but killer #1 of next 4.~ Tony |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. DRIVE. SLUT. THE WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:Show 5 and number 2 of the great ones. This one in a way is better than Montreal, so it’s kind of a toss up there. Depends on what you like. I was told by Jon that he believed that TL played no stick this night and the recordings sound like it. The only track to me that changes in timber radically as the other shows (yes even Montreal which has the best stick sound of all the recordings) is WWE, maybe...you decide and get back to me folks...this is a great show and belongs in any Todd collections...the mix is fine dandy incl Todd being up on gtr..2 days off preceded this. And one other thing, JM is a loud sucker-he hits the snare as hard as anyone I’ve ever heard live- really pops it...cool as hell Particulars: BG-still not much on backgrounds...you know this bothers me cause I hated it that the liars band didn’t sing "cat claw across my heart" on the last verse...gives the song some momentum..I know...I should get a life...anyhow...Todd sounds a bit ragged for 2 days off but its right, nice rock raspiness...TL also very busy..Todd really extends on this opening solo at the end...post ISP rap "last time I was Ottawa I was stung by your beauty" Then the time machine rap and a sexual metaphor....BM-first time aware of delay which would be on the Todd voc most of night..Cool...powerful version..."everything’s either pre or post 9/11"(time machine reference)...”this is a post 9/11 tune" after SB, then TR makes an interesting remark about religion...you need to hear it.....Jesse is a bit low on Mammon...on FC, Todd rips to shreds and JM and TL propel him to go out and go out he does..Awesome stuff...TR sounds happy on ISTL and nails (as he did every night-playing w/ Easton, you see) the 2x lead w/ JG....Todd talks about tony dying to get his stick out...so maybe JB is right...because metaphorically it’s a larger piece..Someone tells TR he has the "Belew guitar" to TRs puzzlement. LF is a monster band wise -tight as a rubber band snapping this night...wicked!, super no1 follows..JM particularly plays out, hot as hell...great rhythmic interplay there...slight mix up on end of Drive where it doesn’t stop and start again...Jesse plays a tremendous wahwah solo on One World that gets a rousing hand from the crowd (many were musicians no doubt....)Todd really channeling at the end of Walls ala Liar last year..Scream to purge the craziness...one world is nice at this slower pace...hawking may be the best version also...there are quite a few great ones you’ll have to decide...they are all just brill w/ me I think its JMs feel that makes it so powerful...at end of WWE, you know its superior show period..No one has to tell you so I’ll shut up now...Thanks to Capt. Jon Jon for giving us these gems. ~ Tony |

And I don’t know who to give credit for this fine recording, but it’s a great short set from what was then being billed as ‘Todd Rundgren & The Tony Levin Band’. When I saw this Tour, I remember the strange bass that Tony played…cross between a sitar and a bass, that he called a ‘stick’. The Players: Todd - guitar, vocals Jesse Gress - guitar Tony Levin - bass('stick') Jerry Marotta - drums |

Note:Show 6- great show 3 and homey in attendance...and I was dancing in my head...small place very small crowd 150-200? But crowd there was really into it...not much to say other Todd really playing out and this show is the best sound wise with the stick being played...it just did not project or cut through well at the others...Particulars: BG-real big low end..ISP- Todd urges JM faster...as result tempo jumps...BM-raging solos-brutal...super great stuff-best one of tour...I love the beg and version of SB here...I realized at the show that Todd sang all the words this tour to someone’s always keeping score...etc..Awesome solos again, groovy JM scene...T sanity we get some great loud stick for change...Todd is on this night as B & W smokes and this would also be best of the tour...TR talks about LF before and someone guesses "poonteen" as the Canadian artist who wrote it (TC and RR)..Todd really wigs out on No1 Lowest...going for it...absolute bliss for me...Todd announces the band and calls JM a slab of concrete for being rock I mean rock solid and calls Jesse the ying to his yang..TL the foundation...may also be the best Drive as well.....nice beg to it...Todd talks about STDS before slut and gives the equal opp debaser speech...”lets go back to the muck and do it old school, ok??"..At the end Todd says may be a slut and she looks like shit to me". I played it back 3 times, I swear....it’s funny string change time...racing to change the strings, Jesse and his roadie who evidently fell asleep and missed the first one going..We get the aristocrats story from Todd, you have to hear it (know the movie?) Todd then announces that’s the name of his band...walls is a hackfest...good thing...all hacking away very much more percussively than the usual nite...hacky solo by JG...all good. End of One World perfecto...sounds like utopia playing it almost....Hawking is stupefyingly great again...just a flower beauty will catch you off guard here..A great one...Todd wisely sings another lower interval on "when god....kissed me" last verse...so great can’t pick one...other than to say JM is the drummer for this song. Period.....power power on WWE (I think it the best)...and a great mellow LOTCM closes out a special nite for me for sure...another JB gem...Did I say I liked Ottawa as well as this, I don’t think so but its close....god what great stuff here.~ Tony |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. CD TWO: DRIVE. SLUT. THE WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. Note:Last show. Number 7. Best/greatest of all. Biggest crowd. Just a classic show all around. You need this. Essential. I don’t know what else to say other than it is a classic. Particulars: Todd gtr low on Buffalo Grass but up by ISP which is just a mother this nite. Stones City. It rocks out. "Were going to love you all nite long including shinsu shinsu"...confidence this night is at an all time high and has been growing since Winnipeg. "Ingram in the house" so was Moe Berg. Then TR says that "we are the only ones to see this lineup and pray to what you pray that it will continue” great jazzy solo by JG on SB...very intense Mammon and FC this night, they are killers-prob the best 1/2 of these both together on the tour-Todd’s vocals just scowl...even JG sings Kaz's odd harmony on the last "even though you have no faith it in"- (in the get a life dept: at the end of the tune, when will someone finally cover the part "you want to rub my face in it" whilst Todd sings "save Mammon", like it is on the record..Another puzzlement to me...I know...don’t say it.......) btw-totally diff solos by Todd on FC really improve...really nice wicked...2 sound system crackles on ISTL...Todd talks of old age and stooping...Todd continues to play off the top of his head on b and w..Out there...I love it I love it..."sticking with our paranoid theme" -Todd delivers the "house" description of the band...see my review ...splendid drive...”into the bog everyone" before Slut...Todd spews out the lyrics of walls like venom...it’s now crystal clear as to why he chose it..."I don’t think there are any terrorists.... and there aint no yanks..Just corporate criminals playing with tanks"...right on!! Crowd a bit baffled but with one world, they jump to their feet on cue....hawking very nice again but not Montreal or Ottawa...WWE reigns supreme...killer version, high emotion...then LOTCM..And then he was gone after a very almost speechless moment...”thank you". Thank you so much" in a very almost mumbling tone and then he said something slightly off mic that sounds French?? You tell me...but ILL tell you this is a stone cold classic Todd show and if you get one, get this one. What a great blessing it was to have JB do this tour. the dedication it shows is rare and whether or not it is ever formally recognized as at least a component to the modern lifeblood of an artist, which it is maybe to other artists (i.e., jamsters) more than Todd, for the first time he acknowledged it more than once on this tour and that’s enough for me to know that I think he knows how important it is to those who couldn’t be here...JB really out-did himself on this tour and we bow in honor, thank you for these gifts...Bliss Canadian Mist...essential…~ Tony |

Note:The venue sound is mid rangy but sound is adjusted in b grass, lots of energy is apparent from the get-go...bass not as huge as the Canada shows which makes this one easier to get for sure...its right where it should be in the mix...accents still hit and miss on BG...ISP...grrrrrrreat grrrrroove...fab bass runs by T Levin in verse part....BM- you know the band is ON...some flubs pop up but the groove is solid, very nice leads at the end some wandering by TR (good) and TL (sometimes good)...SB starts out odd and TR lyric flub but this is where it goes up and stays there...JM cooking on this-nice despite JG losing his guitar sound at the worst possible time (put your hands together...), when you can survive that and flourish, then this is your night..And it was, no doubt....Mammon...challenge for JG but he nails it spot on...TRs vice real strong (not ragged)...back vocs a bit lacking BT, nice recording of the stick -way better sound than in Canada..The low end is still lacking but it’s not anywhere near as invisible as Canada...can hear all he’s doing there, again near perfection by Jesse on this, seemingly one of the most difficult assignments of the night....FC takes a second to gel...and the stick does sound less low end on the this tune..Back vocals nice here and Todd sounds determined as hell on the lead...the solo is monstrous...a bit swanky to start with but about 80% off the cuff...the breakdown part is stellar as well and as good as this band ever played it prior...ISTL surprisingly passionate vocal, spirited performance..B&W...now here’s the one I have the hardest time with since JM/TL has played...and on the early shows, there is no breath in the song-it sounds almost rushed...this night it was a bit flat, Jesse really on his game, whammy nice and back voc not bad, another chance taking lead by Todd very varied from the rote but kind of low volume..No1 Lowest is the shows tour de force, that’s why Mike a had this at his review in mp3 format...killer...Moratta pushing the dynamics on scream part...'adlib city' by Todd at the end..Really mixes his bag o tricks up nicely...it is killer...Drive. Lead vocs incredibly stupid good...a bit fast...vocals as good as ever, ever...Middle of the tune rules...it bakes, it cooks...awesome...this and No. 1 is the peak of the night....all good from here on out, too...Tiny Demons...exquisite, JM snare rattling at start...great atmospheric solo by JG all little overtones and feedback blips, nice original thought expanding the idea of lyle workman years ago at NH tour..Mystified/BD&B- Tony Levin grabs a hold of the blues...Todd does a blurring style solo at first that is a bit hard to believe is Todd but it is..Sounds like JG almost...very odd first solo but great...into BD and B is super...TL's 2x bassline moves it along...Todd gets way into it at the end, really extending it, JG of course is a marvel with his solo as well...nice version...SLUT- confident, chippy..Walls- one of the most impassioned vocals this night...playing for their meal here...so great it ended up as the set closer (probably not intentional)...Hawking- was good, not great this night...the guitar did some funny sounds halfway thru the verse 1 for JG, TR was great but very uneven back vocals..Todd takes the lead rhythmically at the end-whether intentional or not, not a good idea...better to leave it to JM, some weirdo timing stuff...OW- very unusual closer, but nailed and no doubt a satisfied crowd heads back out onto times square....great energy, great recording..No banter, all music--another great effort by Roy Goldberg....~ Tony |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:As with all the other great ones, he’s done for us in the recent past, this one is spot on, in your face 24-7 the top quality we’ve come to expect from Richard Roys...for me personally I liked Falls Church performance better all around- Todd's guitar was low vol at many points in the rams head show...so far, I think this one sounds better because of this recording, this is a good show, some low points for me during the sets but the encores really whipped it up on this one...considering the voice lost at the end of falls church, it would be very close but this recording is the best of the 2 venues to the show details: BG -from the start this is a brutal attack..vocs are a bit worn compared to NYC out of the box...lead guitar not very audible..."we have some rocking to do...” ISP gritty dirty rock-stones style- frickin brill.....BM is LOUD...but Todd is still not loud enough guitar-wise...during the time reference we hear some humor; 'the poodle bites'...SB- great jazzy solo by JG, and gets a bit whammy on the breakdown even..Nice...Mammon- stick sounds great...a bit flat vocs on holy father part...FC is a bit fast this night and does not have the funky element- Todd gets behind during the verse..We hear about Todd's 'emotional rescue' for the first time...TL starts Temporary Sanity but gets called back....B+W very fast and it needs space bad..great solo despite this by Todd at end but Todd is clearly irritated, his solo is a lot like the LP version actually...but at the end we have one of those buzz-kill moments when Todd accuses JG of playing a trick on him by being too loud, so to rectify, TR then orders the roadie to point JGs amp at JGs head..Jesse politely tells Todd you could have told me to turn down but TR is intent on being a bit overboard here and although we all know that he was irritated at the B&W performance, I’m not sure he knew it...it was way out of hand and was an uncomfortable moment for everyone there..So in the end the truth is that, yes, Todd was a bit of an ass to Jesse but it passed and we went on...LF was a bit rough and I think the funk was still lingering...by No 1, things had settled and Todd nailed the solo and the end was really out there, making it up as he went along at the end..Still his vol was lacking some in the house mix (I don’t get it)...another great vocal on drive, great lead into the changes by TL...crowd had a somewhat subdued response...."I'll bet you'll be glad we played this next one..." he was right Tiny Demons...this is the peak of this show for me, the recording is just genius, super sound -esp the low end..So nice...penis joke into CD 2 Mystified...great vocal, recording, Todd solo low volume still but brazen, choppy...into BD and B is just perfect...one of best ones ever by any band this night...again TL drives the machine on Busted...we get a reference to Alex Baldwin’s email, Imus and Iraq as well as a call out for all transgendered before SLUT...JM pounds a 2x-time solo beat to drive it home..Cool slide like sounds from JG...crowd wacked..."all over but the screaming...this is screaming"...Walls...spellbinding Hawking, almost perfect...this song seems sadder and sadder to me as time passes, don’t know why...;great vocals, great Todd vocals/extended ending..WWE- stick again, no low end but celebratory.Todd gives his all...no stop at end by JM...killer recording by RR, the master |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. CD TWO: DRIVE. TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. THE WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:This was the second one I witnessed on the 07 tour. I was one of 2 tapers (the lesser one). the bass drum was real huge and did plague my recording but it is nice if the bass end is rolled off...., crackles sometimes and noise from the pa but the other one is real nice save some yap at places...together they showcase a really nice show-better for me than rams head musically (instrumentally, vocally, Todd’s voice was petered out towards the end of the set and was compromised by the encores.... on to the notes: b grass, you can hear Todd better...ironically, JG is low volume....vocs a bit rough on ISP..Rocking version of ISP...band gets crazy loud on the accents...again the back vocals peter-out during ‘Holy Father’...Fascist Christ this night contains a wicked improv solo by Todd...great vocals by Todd on the breakdown part...wicked stick by Tony on the outro section...killer, maybe the best of the tour...better pace than Annapolis...." you’ve eaten your veggies, now you deserve a treat" ISTL perfecto 2x lead..."forgot to take my diladid before the show"...B&W -nice leads again....can hear him so much louder than Anna show...still a bit rushed...Todd tells story of the Heimlich Maneuver performed by Jesse on Todd post show (the other night??), LF- super floating fluttering solo by JG..And stays hot on harmonics all out...showcase for JG this night..."going to get our sexy on"...no1 is tremendous...wish it was just a hair slower but who's bitching, smoking...Todd goes ape shit on the out chorus..just maniacal...awesome stuff from the middle on out....drive starts of CD 2 a bit rushed and Jesse is low volume, a guitar switch takes place..back voc a bit bare but Todd is still in full voice...talks of young folks and arctic monkeys, etc.....into nice to t demons-shimmering...some delay but then Jesse starts jokingly playing tired of waiting by the kinks before M/BD and B..JM sounds like Willie on this, here is where Todd's voice starts to go...nice early somewhat dissonant Todd lead..."you’d think we were restoring the Mona Lisa or something"...great triplet feel groove JM/TL on BD&B part.... Jesse plays the Marriage of Heaven and Hell lick and the solo then kind of goes the way of Ry Cooder meets Jimmy Page this night...Brilliant super-on paying-then he runs the gamut of his style...100% passion by all of em...missed cues at the end...”song took about 3 years to me"..The next 2 blaze by, then one world, I notice the high back vocs are too loud or maybe someone wasn’t singing or mic was off...back vocs are too sparse by Hawking esp with Todd’s voice rasp in effect after 3 in 3 nights...Todd does some amazing different vocs inflections to counter his lower range...nice...great show in general with a somewhat weakened end due to Todd’s vocs, but still in my mind due to the balance, etc…-I’d take this show was better but with the end of Annapolis plugged on-it would be the best of both..Thanks to the tapers here as well...yow...~ Tony |

Note:Truncated show opening for heart as the band hits its peak. Very nice recording, little yap, nice sound...this is where Todd did Liars in 04....still a big bass drum-kind of odd low end....Todd’s guitar low on Buffalo Grass...came early to catch us we have this for you..BM...Todd really destroys on solo --some killer parts of improv- crowd way into it....Zappa poodle quote...nice version of Soul Brother...nice vocals by Todd...Why B&W?? Nice solo but real weirdo one...2x on solo...trucks along like a big white truck down the beltway...."hope it falls into favor"...Drive....sparkles...best version I think.....Tiny Demons also is close to the best one.....loud walls..Jesse with ace slide solo...one world to end it...it was short but sweet and the band is confident supreme by this show...nice single CD -thanks to Moz.~ Tony |

DRIVE CD TWO: TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. THE WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:Being that I went to the 2 DC shows I would love to say I saw the best of the tour. I did not. This is the best show and for those with discerning ears know it is. It is simply tighter, more assured, has a better swagger than the other previous shows (5.2 is also smoking) this was a short tour, and just as the band was getting hot, they ended the tour. Why the Midwest was skipped I have idea. anyhow, this tour Mr. Hewey is the guest for the best...too bad it didn’t get started but as I understand it, he was shuttled from the balcony by the staff just as the show was about to start to downstairs..What he got smokes...it is not sonically as deep as some of the other shows but it sounds nice and is balanced and to tell the truth has better or should I say lesser low end for JM's bass drum -sound is good, hardly a yip (1 I’m sorry)...nevertheless this is when the band was happening..To the show: BM cuts in...Confidence is apparent from note 1...solo-Todd is decent volume on his solos...Todd is going for it with weapon in hand...Todd is fired up...”you’re sweet like peaches and cream"..."its all relative..."SB is effortlessly tight..Todd name checks bucket head then talks about the upcoming offendament and states "...or else what is the point?"...this is new...."but I intend to offend you in the most artistic way"...to me, that says a lot about Todd and how he thinks about stuff...love it...classic stuff...I realize that Mammon has to be one of my all time favorite sets of lyrics..They’re just exceptional. Amen. ..Again, as FC starts JMs got me thinking about the way Willie would play this...but Jerry is smoking hot this night...really grooving..Deep but a bit faster than the funkier PP version but still it is dead ON...extd solo...the best version....Tony just kills the codas with riffs...at the end TR gracefully thanks him and states ..."we were lucky to have him..." ISTL shows how great Todd's vocs are this night...Super...B&W...contains a very out there Todd solo...completely goes free of any rote...takes a lot of chances...lots of good crazy stuff --a few swonkers but many were meant I think..I've never heard Todd play like this, it’s cool as hell...Todd refers to LF as song I wish I’d written...finders keepers.....Jesses solo sounds almost like a continuation of Todd’s solos in B&W slope-wise...No.1 Lowest real air tight...fluidity is here..and now I realize that PP and TR used to almost effect a natural flange...here is just liquid....just a gem from start to end...Todd plays noisy at times, almost angry..Insane levels...best one-I know I’ve said that every time, but it is such a show highlight...Drive is too fast/pushed as against the groove of the LP...Todd says "thank you completes"...funny...heart of the show starts off CD 2, TD is...Mystified/BD+B: intro-" (shruggingly "it's the only way it will work" (the penis that is)...Jesse really plays these rhythm parts with a perfect touch....then it happens, word thief makes his appearance ..Todd solo again is improvised and slippery...again adventure abounds...Jesse goes a mangled route...sparkling..."blarney stone is hidden in a special place"...slut features a manic solo and sounds like the hello people with the 2x beat...nice slide solo by Jesse on walls..Pocket feels comfortable...better ever on OW...best Hawking so far...best ever played...nice subtle confident...perfecto...great sound on WWE...not rushed...diff end...”right here right now...WWE...everybody in the house, yeah...WWE....crazy momentum builder...yes this is the best performance-what a damned shame it wasn’t longer...smoker..Exit TL....what a great player and just at his peak...Thanks Warren~ Tony |

Note:I was going to get dressed up but...." as I understand it, there were about 250 or so at this outdoor place...kind of like clubs we have all seen before in the backwoods..There’s talk of crocs from the sound check...anyhow, this is a treat because it is not TL its JM on bass...generally covered well but kind of basic...decent singer right away on Buffalo Grass...vocal spread out better in back vocs..You can tell without TL, Jerry M has stepped behind the Wheel...Todd playing riffs more out...kind of low vol at start..So far so good...Todd claims it to be "stoopid good", ISP that is...Moratta rules on Maria, Jesse, too....great version of BM, SB has a different feel this night...Soul Brother has the best solo so far, nice abstract..Todd mentions local oysters and the intent to "offend sensibilities, if you have any...you came to see us...stick on Mammon"...no Tony...FC is kind of odd this night...big missed notes at beg...nice groove, bass part is odd here...?? Then goes the other worldly solo of Todd...it’s a killer...may be best solo of the tour...Todd and Moratta really locked in by now...crowd likes ISTL...B&W outstanding inventive Todd solo..Intro to LF is about Iraq...Todd lets it fly...really happening, nice bass...brill Jesse solo...No.1 has lots of passion, super solos, out there, some great a few clunker but I love it..Todd really goes for it...some unreal solos on this one again...Drive Todd’s vocals a bit shredded...bassist vocs a bit flat...Mystified this night Todd straight up lead at front. Forget verse...not good blend bck vocs Jesse great as usual, but Todd goes real atonal and modular at the end...Hawking is a great vocal performance....WWE bass player sounds like Taggs vocs...~ Tony |

Note:Great that someone got this one...we now have something to compare the urbano sets with.....here are the particles: BG- decent vocals, pretty rote solo...ISP- right off notice PP's hihat action is heavier than MUs..Heavier rock rock version--power trip...clips in 2 spots...BM straight up and down - accents nice...Todd follows the arc of the solo but veers off...deviation in downward solo that ripples the crowd..SB-bit busy groove-wise-great solo by JG-ending with "the riff"...remarks as to the liberal part of the country...MAMMON- the stoned version...very lasix-like-slower than usual--FC is a harder affair than that of MU-less funky more rock on top..MU saw this as between the pedal and the snare and PP is more out and on top...TR solo burst into some quarter tones even in places. Torrid soloing. ISTL actually into it this PM...B&W here’s a place where the feel of PP is now the feel of the tune. He has made his feel the accurate one on this tune for sure...this night it is rushed but solo is also pretty much rote-may be due to tempo..LF- JG solo very standard for him. NO! Is less floaty and more power stick...pretty nice interplay between Todd and PP.......crowd member (to Todd): "play what you want?" TR: "I’m not good enough"......TR a but hoarse by Drive...nice harmonics by JG....TD- not as delicate as JM or MU...more like the version on the Swing tour..Mystified-almost reggae feel at times between KS and PP-offbeat accents...SLUT a bit looser TR just grazing-not as involved at this point...BVs inconsistent (cuts) Walls fades in (don’t miss much)..very Cars-like-nice melody JG playing harmonics solo...Taking it easy on OW...someone talks to the taper...during Hawking- the mic is touched a bit much in places and mars the tune some in spots- by the end- it's nice - a nice version........some rumble on WWE..But PPs feel is king here...just a fun sounding show...nice to have this one...only one other than Santa Cruz so far.~ Tony |

CD TWO: TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED>BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. WALLS AME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORDLWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:Let’s get to it: "sweet looking house!" Buffalo Grass-no back vocals on ‘already gone’ part...real slow, precise, accents not all there with MU yet. ISP-you can feel them feeling each other out (mostly KS and MU) bouncy kind of like a ride over a bumpy road with a great shock system...neat like it..."Austin...it was like 100 degrees today; TR then says something about Austin being better than the rest of the state. Wish the guitar was louder in BM but solos are nice-TR getting use to the open space style of MU...JG nice solo as usual on SB but MU misses the pick up from the breakdown...MAMMON- pretty rehearsal-like...fast take off on FC to be brought back to a slower groove..it’s very interesting here to see how each player handles the situation, places on FC where JG kind of backs off some to let them establish things, KS is punctuating the places MU has to learn-professionals at work! Todd seems to pick up almost instantly how it feels and it’s clearly a faster process than with JM...B & W gels nicely naturally...best groove of the night on LF...some tech problems...LED thing bothering Todd...who claims "I’m so used to big places now, not used to such a small stage"..NO1 is where MU is up and down with volume...leads are nice sheeny things here- kind of raunch-out at the end (real cool)...somewhat messy in parts but a nice omen for the best thing THIS config played each night. Odd flub at start of Drive (wrong fret)-blanks drawn lyrically...after it settles, it’s nice...lyrics then off a touch on Mystified/BD and B but what the hell, were rolling! Lots of bends on solo, something screws up with Todd’s rig "it's always fucking something..."nice smeary slide on heaven and hell riff-sounds very Billy Gibbons style (in Texas, no less), last solo so-so, accents off at end of bluesman spiel...loose but ok slut. No real spark on Walls, decent momentum captured on One World. Yap city on Hawking-is this NYC? What the hell, people-the highpoint of the night and you can’t keep your mouth shut...scant back vocals (only JG)-ok version, nice end for WWE-can see the funky popping version to come...important well recorded starting point for this group...thanks Moz!~ Tony |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:Crowd great, venue system loud as hell, so-so, 10th row center, great show- band gelling before our eyes, at place where overplay is scant (nice) Todd guitar and vocals real strong particulars: BG- subtle dynamics evident from MU right away...Todd nice and loud guitar-wise ISP, great vocal phrasing, leisurely pace with a punch, perfect...cut me off accents in tow (ala studio and tre)...more dynamics in store at end of Todd’s solo in center of BM....bluesy Todd solo...Jesse's solo on SB is jazzy and chorusy..Highlight of show the groove on FC and also Mammon is so much better with this unit...the early 16th accents are missing but still...Kasim and mu groove away..Great without a net solos on FC very hard and soulful....jazzy strident vocals from breakdown on out....Todd pisses Kasim off by requesting Kasim "go head'n kiss her already"...but he was dealing with the monitor and not a gal at all...ok it passed.... Black and White (fine compliment indeed). Jesse cuts a fluttering solo magically on LF...No.1 is the radical departure...the dynamics in this tune make it as acid as ever with the sound and feel...it is indeed a new tune with MU in tow..Todd’s solos are spellbinding with the stage set by the rhythm section especially the all timer at the end...whew...Drive and Slut put Kasim in the driver’s seat and what a great player he is...he makes these 2 work...Todd ends a bit flat due to monitor problems on a line early in td (very very rare)..Unusual solo for Todd on Mystified, more recognized at end of it.....vocals are outstanding on this one also...Jesse does this slide thing with an obtuse downward angle that keeps going down..Thing of beauty then into Todd, Jeff beck, 2x to harmonica sound (which Todd mimes)...as I said Kasim kills with staccato bass line in slut and drives the crowd wild...even the insane older guy stage left who though he was onstage himself...funny...walls-just in control....great hammer work/harmonics by Jesse on hawking and throughout the set he did change some voicing on mammon, etc due to the uncluttered space by the killer rhythm section...still MU has the little hiccup he originally played on Hawking, a nice floating forever version -MUs dynamics are fierce....quiet on v3 real nice...loose as hell WWE, no Trapped yet by this time..Kasim covers for Jesse guitar change by funking it up to MUs nasty groove...slight fuck up towards end but Todd is unfazed..."are you ready...got to bring it home"..A triumphant show...great crowd and decent...won’t be the best but damned good...recording...~ Tony |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. DRIVE. CD TWO: TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. TRAPPED. WORDLWIE EPIPHANY Note:Well my brother and our friend, JB came thru and I haven’t had the time to put these up but he nailed both NYC shows. I prefer the 2nd show simply because (as is the case with Todd more than any other major artist) his guitar is not loud enough...funny both shows I saw Poughkeepsie and Alex...his volume was up...but this first show in NYC esp., the volume is lower (his guitar) than we would all like...can hear the leads but you know what I mean....nice pair of shows and these come (esp. night 2 where guitar is up some volume) with some great performances..In general, it seems like MU and the band were a bit excited to be in NYC and as will happen sometimes, the tempos are rushed... there are some real chestnuts..Here are the particulars:"hi kids!"...solo hardly audible in BG...Nice solo-wish it was louder...ISP is WAY too fast...Jesse does nice runs at the end-changing his standard rhythm part to fit the faster tempo...Todd’s guitar gets a smack louder by BM..Nice end extended solo and Todd goes whacko...good raunchy solo...fans then request a "throbbing experience"...bass is huge (loud ) in SB and the ride cymbal is a bit much volume-wise as well..Pretty nice frantic version of Mammon...again we get excited and FC is way too fast and loses the great funky thing MU and KS get going most nights...guilt-free ISTL...Todd deliberately slows down the start of b and w to get control of the moe going down..You know that something I never really have said before...Todd has an innate sense of time and I have never heard HIM responsible for a tempo rush or drag..He generally knows exactly where it’s supposed to be...always...vocals distorto on B&W ...very inventive solo on this but again ...volume...No. 1 absolutely wicked solo...both of them just rip it up......Kasim dresses his part up a bit in Tiny Demons..Nice 1st blues rip on Myst...Jesse's solo very deeply blues--great ending as usual (Jesse's specialty it seems)...super groove=slut ala Poughkeepsie...prior to the encore, this rare serious gratitude to crowd/fans: "I dedicate this all the people of the world-you’re welcome into my heaven anytime". Then Hawking....wish backgrounds were better.....a bit too busy bass kind of fights the swing...nice show...2nd one is better, as always with JB great recording.~ Tony |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:I’ve heard some say that both nights Todd’s guitar was low in NYC, but this tape proves it was a better balance in the house mix...bass better tone..can hear the guitars better and we are more relaxed...still id like Todd a tad louder but its worlds louder than last night...blow by blow: Buffalo Grass is more relaxed..Perfect pace for ISP which makes all the difference-I like it a mid tempo exile on main ST type groove which this is....nice little nuance makes BM a killer....nice leads, nice smooth lines...a bit low..On Mammon, Jesse’s processing goes out towards the end...recovers for a much improved from 12.11.FC...lead on this one pretty much off the cuff......subtle ISTL...B&W features a crowd 'singalonger'...we all love that..Even if we’re not taping...paying to see someone else sing to Todd...unreal how rude people are sometimes...powerful B&W nonetheless...Todd acknowledges building momentum before LOTCM...one super shredding by the end..Just special deal here...Todd’s voice fails in Drive...he fancy-ups the one note solo...Todd’s intro to Myst.."My days as a landscaper in Atlanta Georgia..." funny...approx correct...."why? Because it hurts"...1st solo ok...Jesse employs a constant attacking, gnawing solo style//Todd an Jesse out of synch some on the mouth harp...end part is mess due mostly to the mix and volume of everyone...Slut is superb...killer one world...."I feel like Barry Manilow.." spectacular Hawking...better than last night which was boss also..Todd solo on trapped a bit off kilter...muddy center part on WWE but Kasim groove was out and popping - yes a bit fast but what the hell..Great show...great recording....its NYC you know.... |

DRIVE. CD TWO: TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAKWING. TRAPPED. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:Sounds like a DAT in a larger hall. In fact this hall is best known to me as having hosted the last 2 NRBQ anniversary bashes...this night there was passion and what a guitar showcase. I don’t think this is the best recording so far...that would rich and Sara’s Alex so far, but this is the best performance of all I’ve heard and I wasn’t there (damn). These solos are generally more out there than the others and Todd really takes a lot of these solos far out of the normal grooves he's worn. That’s why I like this show a lot... the recording here does not have the best depth due to size of hall and the ceiling and most of the sound starts almost on a faux stereo (all highs in r speaker) but the sound does balance out. Nice mix of instruments...specifics: Buffalo Grass...Todd guitar is loud as hell on solo (good)-vocals relatively high... ISP nice impassioned...great lead vocal...extra distortion bite on BM solos-totally off the cuff solo-starts the 1st solo in the rote and then directs it right up on and out of the normal scene..Rips it up on an extended lead...real great stuff here folks...screaming, holding notes out...superb...Kasim does great descending notes run in last verse- great end also-one of all time best versions here folks...much more strident SB-great vocal phrasing which is changed up- highest ever level..End also changed up some, nice....refers to "in 6 mos it’ll be the 2nd freshest we have"...Fidelity seems to improve on Mammon...kind of funny I thought about the one note bass part for some reason in the front..Great sound by Kasim...opening note muffed on FC but still funky monkey happening -KG gets a bit crazy on verses...again Todd puts the pedal to the metal off the normal road and ends up with another jaw dropping free solo..Free and wild like BM...Killer again....ISTL another more than normal passionate version...b and w is a bit out of sorts intensity match-wise with the others...some great solos continue...Todd really at a peak....Jesse gets a bit more gliding on his part on LF....torrid yet wet solos by the foamy on No. 1..trs leads on this are as close to Hendrix axe era I’ve ever heard Todd play...great again (ho-hum)..Kasim is the star on drive where his runs make the tune...Jesse also just great on the head section in the middle...story about puppies...lots of mic scuffing by recorder on Tiny Demons...great ghost whispers... end blown lost a verse.....Jesse less audible on Mystified/BD and B...Todd wild on his solo..Jesse’s on a speed trip this night...another all timer-solo wise...Todd fucks up turnaround on slut but groove is great stuff-Kasim propels it along..Kasim off the hook on walls as well...hawking pretty nice-wish there was more backing vocals....super end though.......solo wicked on trapped....Kasim funks it up....again, so far the highs of this one performance wise are the peaks to my ears and one would be wise to include this show if you get some from the tour..Thanks to Mr. Lino and Mr. Moz for these off of DIME...killer stuff~ Tony |

Nice crowd in a good mood and gone on...best of the tour (tape job) so far by Mr. RR and ms SK....compared to the show in Pitt I saw 10 days prior, there were a few more notes and Todd did mis-hit some stuff on the fretboard (he had the roadie putting sharpie marks on the newly fretted foamy on more than one occasion..Particles...nice steady groove on Buffalo Grass...very Indian-beat like...pretty rote lead... ISP-love the build up at beg-Jesse does a nice little strat whammy bend on the opening chords that just is nice to set the tune and momentum up...very fender...love Kasim’s riffs at the end...In fact, this was Kasim's show-he played so much more fluently with MU on this tour and thus, with less busy drums he can play more...just a very underrated player on the bass...Todd then talks of the 7:30 shows and him breaking his meal before the show rule this eve...BM much faster pace than Pitts..Great high wailing solo by Todd that is pure abandon open blowing (no arc)...dynamics still pretty high on loud soft but not as extreme as in Pitts....we get a quip that the fact the marquee said Todd and the Liars was itself a lie.....SB still nice and spacious..Great vocals by Todd and a near perfect solo by JG-a clinic...long end...”now we're going to start mucking around with your religious beliefs...”...Mammon- Todd rhythm a bit loud..Some sharpie problems...MU does offbeat hihat clasp on this and Mystified...a bit much contrast for me...funky as usual with MU's FC...the breakdown sections are awesome...a bit different style solo on this one than usual..Pretty freed up stuff...nice...ISTL sung well bellowed style in fact..."we know that Wayne Newton and Donnie Osmond go out of their way to play here...so we had to play the hit"...black and white--powerful version-a few miss-hits by Todd but the solo is god-head..Wild and crazy solo section with pretty insistent riffs, etc (new album stuff?)...powerhouse version of B&W..."The crew here said play anything except bluegrass...they’ve had a parade of mandolins go thru here..." nice harmony line style solo by JG (if you know what that means)...Great loud soft on No.1...passionately yelps..."equalize me, foamy!"...great passion on this one...great little different solos on the outchorus...vocal silky on Drive...laid back..."Todd talks of the instant millionaire...”then into the neo con speech which is a bit off kilter delivery -wise but some asshole yells out and embarrasses himself in the process..Funny stuff...better TD than at Pitt...Wewww... get the speech about crop sharing...into Mystified...harder version of mystified than Pittsburgh...stumble into 1st solo...great section between the 2 tunes...great solo into the harp thing...re-entry is changed up a smidgin...slut is not as punchy as Pitt and suffers comparitably..But the Pitt version is as good as it gets, so...a bit more legato...walls nice pace-calmed down some...great on top solo by JG on one world...great version of hawking..Better than Pitt...very spacy...very quiet last verse...dynamics unmatched...god MU is a very dynamic drummer......great to hear Trapped..Solo nice but not like the record...funkier WWE to end it all...great show-if you’re going to get one from this short leg, this is it for now.~ Tony |

And Kasim's banter between songs was also a complete history of himself and Utopia. All 'Unplugged' and Kasim at his finest. His ever popular 'This Must Be Love' is in here too. This is the Soundtrack from the video, so it's marvelous. I was there, of course, and was treated to an incredible evening (and a 'Meet & Greet).I can't say enough about it and the DVD is awesome. Though hard to get now. On-line retail doesn't offer it anywhere. Dave ' the Knife' or his wife can get you a copy though at a decent rate: Try Dave at his FaceBook page: David W. Knife.

What an experience to share with all the Todd heads present. So many people there, so many that I have been communicating and working with ages. I won’t try to list 'em here because I wouldn’t want to leave anyone out. The week was very much ‘take it as you want it’. Some people wanted the party scene and that was there galore but the adventures, planned, the food and especially the fellowship made this an event for the ages. All of us who have some duties and responsibilities towards the scene have no doubt returned newly energized. The details of the house, the whole scene will be relayed as folklore for the years to come. I don’t know if this will be a regular event or not, but if it ever happens again, don’t miss it. Todd and his family were magnificent hosts and I still can’t believe he was so cool to do that. Michele ran the show with a lot of help from John (a really cool nice gentle sweetheart of a guy). It was great to mingle with Todd, Michele, Rebop or the family but the people there were what made it so great. That’s the reason you go is to connect with everyone. For all the people who bugged/semi-stalked TR (not that much really considering) there was a richer scene going on around him with all of those who made the trek and were mature enough to reflect on years of traveling the road to utopia together.. I met artists, people from the past, long time buddies...all getting that red dirt on our heels together...and going to the beach, town, etc...A lot of time was spent just doing Kauai...which was the ticket for me this weekend...I needed some rest and got it. I missed 70% of the nighttime fun because I wanted to sleep. I opted to arise early instead. The weather was only dreary one day on the week and rain was brief but unpredictable. Sunset everyday at 730...can’t thank the family for the weekend enough.......And now...for the music.~ Tony Rogers After much anticipation and a week that went by all too fast the Toddster did not disappoint nor did the musicians. The Stage was constructed over the Lake that pools from the river running through Todd and Michele's living room and above the water falls. It was quite a feat just building on top of water, supplying electricity and sound and using the LED living room house lighting for the last song's special effects. It was a dream come true for all the Todd fans. Amazingly not overpopulated even though some locals and friends attended. It was a mild Kilauea night of weather and high spirits. Shortly before sunset between 6 & 7pm Michele introduced the show we had all been waiting for from the Lanai Deck. The band came out and launched into "Mad" setting some of us into mental bliss frenzy. Still setting sound levels Todd opted to replay the song. Yes it was better clearer stronger second time around. I could have heard all of the songs repeated but it was a dress rehearsal. Most of the new songs have the power rock feel as rumored and most were single word titles like "Mad", "Afraid", "Mercenary", "Gun", "Weakness" (sung toward Michele on the upper deck), "Mountain Top", "Pissin", "Panic" ending with explosive lighting effects background from the house for "Man UP" and no encores. Thirteen songs were played and no former releases revisited. Lyrically engrossing and sonically pleasing especially the searing twin guitar solos. Rachel Hayden, bassist, laid down the bottom with chest throbbing pulses while Prairie gave the heart beat precision. Matt on rhythm guitar and keyboards with backing vocals provided a sweet addition while Todd and Jesse wailed away. The only approach to disappointment was that the set ended too soon but no matter how long it would play on it would have been too soon for all in attendance. One of the Highlights was watching Michele (sans boot cast) and Claudia and another unnamed woman jump into the lake with the stage dancing to the last song. The smiles on their faces was priceless :) The saving grace was Todd's announcement for all to "Party until Dawn". ~ Jim Spann |

Some false starts/broken strings (3) and Courage is stopped due to Todd swallowing a bug. 11pm curfew = no encore. But usual example of how Todd can just move through the ARENA ‘hic-ups’ here.

The torrent @ TTD was pulled before most could grab the full download, so Just One Victory is muchly a a digital unplayable piece. Still this a great recording and a must have for ARENA lovers. Tony wrote up this lengthy review after the show: ”I was lucky enough to catch Kauai and this show and the progress (traced thru the boots as well) has been huge. In fact, I have never seen a better nite of the rhythm section since Ive been grazing in Toddland PP played (and looked like somewhat) very Dale Crover like on the heavier stuff; RH had a flatter Fender sound that worked so well in this heavier context. The crowd dug it to death. All the way up to the Chuck Berry back to basics solo where it all ends up on Man Up, the crowd stayed attentive and into it In fact, on Man Up, the dancers appeared as they did in Kauai. A nice smattering of oldies set things up nicely and I, for one, love the new arrangement of LF. I know some people wonder why he's doing covers, so what?? They rock. TR said this first tour was to play the whole of the album the way he said it, it made me think what may change in the winter time or even in Europe. You guys keep us in loop over there! Sorry but I couldn't deliver another addition due to equip trouble, but we have a few already we'll see what pops up. Bardo is clearly the new gtr showcase on the album. I did get to talk a second to JG after the show, he remarked how much work it was to play such heavy music. The new kids (Matt and Rachel) were jumping around onstage and could almost as times seem to be as young as Todd (at 60! ...remarkable). As for the venue, I got there a bit late and it was like trying to discover a secret. No sign, up a flight of steps in a steel/glass structure at the end of main street, nice place but packed to the gils (300 350?)...I saw only Lynn (Veggie) (her her husband) from Toddstock, but I saw Robin and Rick from our longtime crew doing the same as me...getting that end of the tour buzz..its always best to hear the band at the end if you can.Sound system was on, mistakes were non existent, TRs voice was rested couldn't have been a better nite to see the show. I will get around to commenting on the tunes themselves when I do my page on the boot action, but rest assured this band is confident.They have put their own imprint on the tunes and I think its a good move to include a live document in the album release package. I have been lucky enough to have heard the album and there are definitely places the band and the sound has "flowered" the tunes. Most of the tracks, especially Bardo has really gotten significantly better/expanded by the live deal. The only newer tune that may not have benefited by repeat playing is Courage (great tune) the early versions from Kauai and Oshkosh reveal a more punchy, almost funky/popping bass line that now is played more legato. That being said, the album version also sounds a little more like a demo than the others, so I'm not sure (i'm never sure about anything, you know) where they are going with that. It is hard because it is so unlike the others that color the nightly mood in a much heavier, muscular mode. I digress, but the show is truly a triumph on all levels. Make sure if you get a chance, you see this version of the band. The perfect mix of youth and almost youth (youth in the mind) make this a treat. Going to be interesting to see what changes with the setlist come in Europe. Finally, a tip of the hat to Jesse Gress he just keeps on playing in his brilliant unassuming way tour after tour playing impossible parts, incld parts that were never meant to be on gtr, singing and keeping fresh kindling on the Toddfire I've said it before but Ill say it again there are the musicians that have played with Todd and then theres Jesse on a whole other level. Love this album, love this band go buy 100 copies if you can! Ah...that was nice......I was ready to burst , feel a lot better now.......can you please pass the ....uh....how bout the mustard instead?.” |

| 8/15/08 | ‘IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY’ SEVEN SPRINGS RESORT CHAMPION PA | AUDIENCE | N/A |
| Date Added:8/5/2012 Track List:NO SET LIST ENTRIES: IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY. A TRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST ALBUM IN ROCK & ROLL HISTORY: SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. STARRING: TODD RUNDGREN,TAYLOR HICKS, DENNY LAINE, BO BICE, LOU GRAHAM AND OTHERS (INCLUDING CHRISTOPHER CROSS)…PERFORMING ALL THEIR HITS, PLUS THE ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY. Note:Review by Roger Steel: The show was fun. Good, not great though. The same type of format as most of these Beatles tribute gigs. Each member plays a couple/few tunes by themselves, then intermission, then Beatles. Highlights from the first set were a fun couple of countrybilly rockers from Bo Bice. One even included the Framptonesque talk box. Pretty impressive performance and it seemed most of the women agreed. Lou Graham started out a little shaky on Revolution but redeemed himself during his set. Lou has seen better days but the pipes are still very much intact. His set was fun. Denny Laine was a bit of a disappointment. He was the closest of any of them to a Beatle yet only had two songs and his voice was a little rough. Todd's set was wimpy but he made the best of it and had some fun. "Open My Eyes" rocked as usual but I don't think most people recognized it. "I Saw The Light" was what it was. "Bang The Drum" (original version) got everyone dancing. I yawned but Todd and the crowd seemed to be having a riot. The shining star and big surprise of the night for me was Christopher Cross. Say what you will about his songs but the guy has talent. His voice is stronger than ever and he even ripped a couple of smoking guitar leads. If I had a disappointment in set #1 it was that most of the band members left the stage when the others performed. I remember the Ringo shows and even the early Abbey Road shows where the entire band was on stage the entire show. I really missed that at this gig. Set two was great. Todd was a wonderful ringleader. It reminded me about how much love Todd had for theater because he was acting more than singing. Costumes (check out the pics with the flower hat - classic!), fake mustache, pure silliness. I'm pushing about 100 Todd shows and this was the silliest I've ever seen him. Again, Christopher Cross was awesome too. "She's Leaving Home" was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, ever. And by the way, who's this Jonathan Clark guy? He was the bass player and all around MVP of the show. His voice was incredible. Plunky Paul-like bass playing during the Beatles set was spot-on. His playing and singing the entire night was understated (except for sharing the mic on "She's Leaving Home") but I would argue that the show would not have been nearly as good without him in it. This guy can play and sing! Sign him up Todd (but only when Kas is busy). They played the record in order from start to finish. Yes, there was an 8-piece "orchestra" with string and horns. I felt they were under used though. They only played on a small percentage of the tunes. "A Day In The Life" ended the show which made set #2 fairly short. The two song encore of "Strawberry Fields" & "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" had all members on the stage but that might have added to some confusion. It was then when you could really tell it was their first gig, particularly on "Weeps". Still, a very tight show for being the first one. Let's not forget the rest of the band. Prairie laid down a steady beat as usual. Greg Hawkes and John Ferenzik seemed to do well but it was hard to tell. They were tucked off to the side and somewhat buried in the mix. Jesse, on the other hand, was incredible. You know the guys a talent but you really see it first hand in this show. He nailed every guitar part on every song even though I'm sure this was the first time her performed many of those songs live. Jesse rocks! The show was fun and worth the trip to the Laurel Highlands. You could tell the locals were having fun. A lot of very drunk people but I give them credit because they were all happy drunks. It was hard not to be happy at this show. |

In a nutshell....TR was the driving force of a band of musical misfits, has beens and a few never were's thrown in for good measure.....with the obvious exception of TR's band..should go without saying.Jesse never disappoints and Prairie made Christopher Cross' songs sound interesting to me. Denny Laine is barely passable..Bo Bice I can live without entirely...just derivative. Lou Gramm..must have been drunk....consistently forgot the lyrics to the greatest songs ever written....and looked like he just stumbled out of a pub and ended up on a stage. 1st half I could easily have done without..same old stuff...done poorly except of course TR but that wasn't enough. As good as TR might have been..the rest of the band was twice as bad. Who set up this horrible fiasco? They should shut the mutha down. TR was talking closely to Bo at several points. They encored with " ...gently weeps...." but should have ended it when they 1st walked off the stage. My friend is managing director of the park and was told that at the end of the 1st half....a man was demanding a refund (not me). The premise was interesting..the delivery was less than even remotely stellar. A few nice moments in the second half...most involving TR .... really...anyone who looks at this show and feels otherwise must have stars in their eyes.... really sorry...." |

| Date Added:8/5/2012 Track List:NO SET LIST ENTRIES: IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY. A TRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST ALBUM IN ROCK & ROLL HISTORY: SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. STARRING: TODD RUNDGREN,TAYLOR HICKS, DENNY LAINE, BO BICE, LOU GRAHAM AND OTHERS (INCLUDING CHRISTOPHER CROSS)…PERFORMING ALL THEIR HITS, PLUS THE ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY. Note:Review by SubGenius: The show at Texas Station was really great. As reported in all previous reviews, each singer did a few tunes (seemed more like 2 tunes for most) from their own catalogs before the "40 Years" performance. Since this was the 10th and last show, it looks like everyone had their parts down this time around except for Lou Gramm, who read the lyrics from sheets of paper taped to a guitar case propped up in front of his mike stand. Even with the lyrics right in his face, he murdered every Beatle tune he touched with botched lyrics and bad vocals. How they could let him get away with this less than amateur performance is a mystery. Contract... no doubt. Denny Laine's rendition of "Within You, Without You" was brilliant, especially with backing strings and other instruments recreating a sound that I had only heard before on the Sgt Pepper's record. Mesmerizing! Christopher Cross was another high point as his vocals and execution of "She's Leaving Home" and "When I'm Sixty-Four" were exquisite and right on the money. Now, here's a guy who knows his Sgt. Pepper lyrics and melodies! Bravo, Mr. Cross! As expected, Todd nailed every tune and added much comedic relief to the performance. From humping a speaker cabinet to mustache technical difficulties, to flailing stooge dancing, to absurdly cheap but highly effective costumes, plus knocking over Gramm's mike stand after Gramm destroyed yet another Pepper tune, Todd was definitely the magic glue that held this whole show together. Bo Bice? Forgettable. My apologies for speaking the truth. His little hat and alien sunglasses, which he never removed for any part of the show, kept him visually anonymous. That could have been any mediocre long-haired guy up there for all we knew. Coulda been several different mediocre guys! |

| 8/31/08 | ‘RUNDGREN RADIO ANNIVERSARY’ CELEBRITY NIGHTCLUB LAS VEGAS | AUDIENCE | N/A |
| Date Added:8/5/2012 Track List:LOVE IN ACTION. WALLS CAME DOWN. BLACK MARIA. OPEN MY EYES. LUNATIC FRINGE. I SAW THE LIGHT. MAD. AFRAID. MERCENARY. GUN. COURAGE. WEAKNESS. STRIKE. PISSIN. TODAY. BARDO. MOUNTAINTOP. PANIC. MANUP.THE WHEEL. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Review by Doug of RundgrenRadio.com: The Rundgren Radio B'Day Bash was the party theme but the night clearly belonged to Todd Rundgren and the other people lucky enough to be there. Todd, Jesse Gress, Rachel Haden, and Prairie Prince put on one hell of a show. The entire night exceeded all expectations for this fan. There's the old saying, "It's all about the music", but I'm not a believer in that anymore. Ultimately, Todd's music is what brought everyone together for this special weekend and without it this party wouldn't have happened, but this gig, like many other Todd gigs, was also about the Todd fan camaraderie - - - and in this case it was as good as it gets. The fans present were from all different parts of the country and it was pretty evident that they were all glad they made the trip to Las Vegas no matter how far they had traveled to get there. There were fans meeting again from past concerts and even Toddstock. There were also fans that were meeting some of the other fans there for the first time. It didn't matter what their history was with Todd fandom, albeit 2 years or 40 years, everyone seemed happy just to be around other fans that understood their passion for Todd's music. When the band walked onto the stage and got into their respective positions, Todd immediately started with some of his always interesting and witty banner. He talked about these kinds of gigs possibly being the way of the future and then he complimented the audience. I knew right then and there this was going to be a night to remember. The music began and the first song was, "Love In Action" which was a big relief because that meant they were going to play most or all of the current tour setlist. You would have thought it was the opening ceremony at the Olympics the way the cameras were going off. Todd and the band were absolutely on fire the entire time and the crowd followed the routine of raising their fists during "Strike" and raising their hands up (palm side up) in the air during "Mountaintop" when it was time to yell, "Higher higher". Just when I started to think "Bardo" was a mellow enough song to take a break and sit down, Todd breaks into some guitar playing that almost caught the venue on fire. I don't really know a good way to explain it, but the band was able to give "I Saw The Light" a more edgier sound than normal which was quite a treat. Every song sounded great and was well received. Robert Frazza and the guys helping him did a great job with the sound. Another thing that made this gig different was the way Rachel Haden appeared to be as comfortable as ever and was hamming it up with Todd almost the entire show. It was a treat to see her having so much fun up there. She appeared to be having an absolute blast from start to finish. She'd been showing signs of having fun at the other shows of course, but this was different. Jesse was awesome on guitar as always and he seemed to be having a great time as well especially since his sweet wife Mary Lou was there. And it would be a crime not to mention Prairie Prince acing it on drums despite already playing gigs two nights in a row before this one. This show already had the makings for something special but it was also making a few dreams come true. Todd fan Grady Moates played a major role in helping with the sound equipment. Todd fan Brian Grace was invited on stage to play Sax with the band during the song "Pissin". After "Manup" the band left the stage, and as most bands do, they made the crowd beg for the encores :). We begged of course and they came back out on stage. I heard Todd's guitar and thought I was dreaming. You guessed it - - - "The Wheel". The crowd went wild with excitement, especially me. No acoustic guitar or solo, the entire band was performing the song and Todd had Foamy in his hands. I looked to my left and Ed Vigdor was singing along and going crazy jumping around. I looked behind me and my wife was tearing up because she was so happy to see me get to hear my request and she knew how rewarding that was for me. I looked at Steve and he was grinning as he watched me sing along to the song. I'm guessing he was also reflecting on his first time to hear "The Wheel" live decades ago. I looked at Michele Rundgren and she had a big smile on her face. I look around at the whole crowd and everyone was singing along and having a great time. It was an emotional moment I'll never forget. I guess you could say it was like being in Utopia. I don't know what ultimately made Todd decide to do the song, but I do know he made a lot of people extremely happy for doing it. Several of the fans there told me after the show it was their first time to see the song live. As if things weren't great enough already, Todd & company closed out the show with "Just One Victory" and the crowd continued to go wild while singing along and swinging their arms and having a great time. It was the perfect way to close out the show. We planned for an after-show party in the venue but weren't sure whether or not Todd would be joining us. We hoped he would of course and he did in a big way. He walked out from backstage and proceeded to go over to the bar where we had two cakes laying there waiting to be eaten. One cake was a giant replica of Todd's green guitar pick including the autograph. The other cake had an edible 8x10 photo of the Arena promo poster on it. Freed's Bakery in Vegas made the cakes and we couldn't have asked for a better job from them. Todd planted himself in a chair and began cutting the cake and serving pieces of cake to the fans. How cool is that? He was clearly having a good time and even let some fans take pictures of him with cake on his face. He didn't have to come out there and mingle, he chose to do it. I think that speaks volumes for the fans that were in attendance. Jesse, Prairie, and Rachel also mingled with the crowd. Mary Lou was hanging out with us as well. Michele Rundgren was with the fans from start to finish and I asked her to step over to the cakes so we could make sure she got a certain area of the Arena cake :). We just couldn't have asked for a better after-show party if we tried. That night and the next day a few of the spouses/guests of some of the Todd fans in attendance let me know they had been converted to being new Todd fans because of Sunday night. I'm still trying to figure out if this whole thing was a dream. If it was, I hope the dream goes on forever. |

DISC TWO:TODAY. BARDO. MOUNTAINTOP. PANIC. MANUP. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:A good audience recording. Theatre venue. So acoustics are pretty nice. Doug Ford gives us a review of the show: “The Bijous is a nice theatre with great acoustics but unfortunately it is a place with permanent chairs so people had to sit through most of the show. I went to the balcony with CruiserMel and we got behind the rows that were full and proceeded to stand up through almost the entire show. It was a great spot for watching this fantastic group of musicians playing some great Todd tunes. It was a really good spot for watching Prairie bang on the drums and he was doing a terrific job at it as usual. During the encores we moved to the second row and then the first one and finally several of us stood up and approached the stage for the final encore. Although the theatre staff were camera nazis, they did not object to the standing up for the last song. I've seen this Arena show a few times and the band was as tight as they can get in my opinion. The addition of Kasim is great but that's not the only reason the show was so fantastic. The entire band was on fire and Todd's voice was in great shape the entire show. They didn't have many technical issues other than a couple of guitar string issues that were resolved rapidly. The stage was pretty big and they had plenty of room to move around and they took advantage of it. The keyboards face the drums and were on the right side of the stage if you're looking at it. When Kasim played guitar he would turn forward and walk closer to the crowd. Todd mixed it up with Foamy and his new black guitar. At one point in the show Todd started a little political talk and it got real quiet as he was thinking of something to add to his speech. CruiserMel proceeded to yell, "Todd for President" and the entire place could hear it including Todd. He looked up and said, "Do you want me to be miserable" and then said he wouldn't want that job right now and laughed.” |

DISC TWO:TODAY. BARDO. MOUNTAINTOP. PANIC. MANUP. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:Review by Chuck Wiggins: "Deb and I made the trek from Cincinnati to Asheville as a part of a long weekend in the Western North Carolina/East Tennessee region (a college reunion began the next day in Tennessee). It was well worth the trip to Asheville - the concert was exceptional. The band was extremely tight, and handled the few musical slips with a light-hearted attitude. "Arena" is made to be played live. As some others have mentioned, this seemed a bit like "Utopia-light" - the high energy interplay, insightful lyrics, and an overall thematic approach, without the lengthy jams and elaborate stage sets. (Don't get me wrong - I like the lengthy jams...). I wasn't sure how Kasim would fit into this configuration. And I can't say I was that aware of his specific role throughout most of the evening. But one of the evening's musical highlights was the edgy harmony he provided during the verses of "Panic". I definitely appreciated the addition of Rachel's female vocals into the live mix. Todd's lead lines were just a pleasure to watch and hear - we were only a couple of people back from the stage, and Todd came close to the audience for the solo bits. Another highlight for me was the Nazz tune "Open My Eyes". I haven't gone back to the Nazz-era recordings, so was not that familiar with this song. But I'm making it a point to obtain a copy - just loved the layered vocal chorus. We met up with Grady Moates and some friends of his for dinner prior to the show - had a great time rekindling our Toddstock friendship. The majority of people we met at the show were out-of-towners. We met folks who had flown from Ft. Lauderdale, driven in from Charleston, SC, and several other locations I can't recall. So I'm not sure how many were actually locals. I heard the Orange Peel holds about 900 (standing room), and I'd guess there were perhaps 400-500 in the audience. The sound was excellent, except that "Lunatic Fringe" was a bit distorted. But Grady pointed out that may have been intentional. If the band remains this tight during the upcoming European tour, folks in those cities are up for a real treat! Just a thoroughly enjoyable evening of music from one of the greatest ever." |

Taper : The Old Dog Source : Edirol R09 master WAV, 24 bit, 48 kHz downsampled to 44.1 khz 16 bit Mastering : Adobe Audition (mastering, BaldiePete) Review by Gordon Lundie (Glasgow): "What a Night Straight in with Love in Action and from there on in a great night of energy freshness and pure magic. There was a great turnout at the Picturehouse in Edinburgh on typical wet Scottish night. They played all the Arena songs along with past greats like Black Maria,I Saw The Light and finished with Just One Victory. After the first song one guy shouted out "Singring" which Todd replied "Theres a guy down here who is nuts and want us to do a 20 minute song plus special effects!" brilliant reply. Anyway thanks Todd and the Band for a great night of entertainment and affirmation that you are a true living rock legend." |

Note:This and a couple of other shows (from 2011) just sent to me by my new 'Toddfriend' from 'across the pond' (in the UK). Kevin Lewis. He did a very nice audience recording. BTW, this is just two big tracks.The begining ("Love In Action") starts out distorted for a few seconds...but levels off nicely. Not to worry, for this recording and performance are ENERGIZED! AND VERY GOOD. I don't have any recordings of the 'ARENA' 2008 Shows from Europe (except 2008-11-07 Edinburgh Playhouse, Which is a audio dub from a Fan Film. Not great). So this is special. And Todd always puts on a performance, when he's at the Forum. Most the audience recordings over the years of any artist come out pretty good from there. So the Venues acoustics must be supreme?! The recording is an 'as is', so it's captured just as performed. I can't pick out any one favorite song (I like 'em all). So here's a review from the TRConnection 'Concert Tour and Info' page. He mentions Todd's 'voice strain', but I don't hear it. N.D. Michaelson Review: “The same set as the previous night but a better performance as they were a little quieter which both improved the overall sound quality and also seemed to enable them to hear each other better. 'Courage' and 'Drive' in particular benefitted as a result. However, it is apparent that Todd's voice is showing the strain -- hopefully only temporally and as a consequence of the series of shows in a short period of time. On the introduction to 'Hawking' he really crashed and burned but had the grace, sense and humour (in fact couldn't stop his own laughter) to start again and following some water, throat clearing (some might say hacking in fact) and banter with the audience, nailed it second time around. Interestingly his inter-song patter was not the same as the night before. Top marks again for the effort and energy of the performance. Sadly I can't get to his show this coming Saturday at Ronnie Scott's as he told us they will be doing two sets of different material: one blues and one bossa nova. I take this to mean '...Johnson' and 'With a twist' respectively of which I'd much favour the latter as I find the '...Johnson' stuff some of his least engaging. Still, it's been a treat and here's hoping he's back again soon.” |

BARDO. MOUNTAINTOP. PANIC. MANUP. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Review by Dave Anderson~ "I will keep this relatively short. If you have any doubts about seeing the Arena tour, let me try and settle them for you. The show was an all out guitar assault and I mean that in the very best sense. This is "smart" rock 'n roll. Riffs and hook filled choruses that appear on the surface to be so simple, but underlying the music are interesting chord progressions, runs, and rhythms that make you want to listen again and again. "Fist in the air" chunky rock with something meaningful in the middle. On both ends of this new rock guitar glory, you have some familiar favorites "Love In Action", "Open My Eyes", " I Saw The Light", "Couldn't I Just Tell You", and the Utopian National Anthem "Just One Victory", I know it's from a Todd album, but I always associate it with them. He also threw in a couple of favorite covers, "The Walls Came Down", and Red Ryder's "Lunatic Fringe". In a nutshell, AWESOME SHOW, what more could you ask for!!! Ok, ok, Hermit of Mink Hollow from start to finish, not gonna happen, but we can always dream... |

Note:The Taper says, “Unbelievably loud concert performance promoting Todd's 2008 release, Arena, his last release of "new" compositions until the soon to arrive State. Given the extreme volume, the recording came out very well. Don't expect a quiet, polite crowd, either. There was no seating in the theater, and a rowdy, well lubricated crowd was in attendance. The "Todd!!!!!!" and "Kasim!!!!!!!" shouting is here for all to hear. That being said, the music easily drowns the crowd out when it's being played, and it all is quite listenable. Todd was in fine voice, and the band was tight.” Please support Todd by purchasing any and all commercial releases he puts out, especially the upcoming release in April, 2013. |

This dub came out with vocals pretty much in the 'back' and some distortion here and there. There's attempts to remove much of that, and the tunes do fade in and fade out in many of them. But call me selfish, I just wanted this in the collection if just for posterity. 'Cause I'm an Atlanta boy. I do wish somebody had caught this in it's entirety by audio equipment, for I was attended this show. And the band had fun. They rollicked and rolled with ARENA~ Warren |

After seeing this tour 3 times now I have to say this was absolutely the best performance so far! The band was tight, vocals were spot on especially Todd's vocals. His voice is holding up very well for this leg of the "Arena" tour and we were the 12th stop so this is great news for those still to see this show! There was not a single technical glitch, no broken strings, nothing! Top notch professional show from start to finish. I am very happy that they have dropped the cover tunes and the whole show is now Todd/Utopia songs, but the confirmation for me on this change was the reaction from the rest of the audience as even the most casual fans knew more songs to sing along to this time around, it's working well! Set list was consistent with earlier 2009 shows, standouts for me were "Bardo" [Todd's soloing on this is mesmerizing] and "Just One Victory" which takes me back to times when this was always the closer and we knew to let out that last holler you had in ya! Get to this show, the band is in top form, it does not get better than this! |

Note:This is very good audience recording of probably the last ARENA show that we'll have in the collection here. We just received this 2009 show, and it now being 2014... this listen takes us back a step. For he had just started the AWATS tour a month or so afterwards. Each ARENA performance got better as the last. The band always seemed to be having a good time. Rocking and full of smiles. They are tight here, and the epitome of a class act. Early in this show, you can hear some shouts from the audience, for oldies. Of course die hard fans know not to do that. But as the new Arena stuff grew on, the requests shut up. This is tape little 'boomy' on the bass side...I'm hesitant to even mention that...Anybody that saw this tour, knows that Rachel was a powerful addition on bass. But the rest (especially vocals) of this taping is almost soundboard quality. Thank you John Marki wherever you are ~ Warren |

Note:A Stunning audience recording by J. Hanavan! I thought it was a Soundboard until I was corrected by the info. sheet Hanavan supplied. Here’s a great review on the TRC by Peter Chalverus,“Well the day started at 5:00 AM EST with the radio going on & what do I hear? Open My Eyes just kicking off. This is going to be a good day! Philly airport and no wait for other planes ahead of us, amazing. Get to SFO and get upgraded to a Cowboy Poop de Ville. Can this get any better? Oh Yeah. Arrive in Sacramento and decide to do a little recon walk to the theatre. Well it must be all my clean living because a half block from the venue I run into O.H. himself. Todd was extremely gracious as he was on his way for a sound check but took time to hear me gush about what a great day I am having. He fills me in on the previous night in SF and how well it went with Ralph Schuckett now playing keys instead of Roger. Beautiful old theater with a kinda art deco feel to it. Maybe 800 sets and not very full, unfortunately. The first set was pure blues. 4 piece band with Prarie and Kas putting down the rhythm and Jesse accompanying Todd. No Utopia or TR songs. Seemed as if most of these standards, if not all, were Robert Johnson tunes that were broke down and re-arranged. Todd solos were incendiary and his voice sounded spot on. A brief intermission and it was time for the main event. From the opening strains of International Feel to the closing of JOV it was an aural and visual delight. Enough costume changes by Todd to make Cher go green with envy. The band seems to be very challenged by this music as there was very little interaction between the players, just pure concentration and it was validated by the accuracy with which they played. The faithful spent time between sitting and getting up to dance, but everyone got on their feet at Bobby's request during Cool Jerk. At this point we were all whipped into a frenzy and most of us just grooved the rest of the way. Sound quality was very good but the lighting seemed to lack the wow factor that was in place in all other aspects. After having read so many rave reviews and, in particular, from my friend who turned me onto Todd 35 years or so ago I knew I had to make this trek. I am sooooo glad I made this trip. This show is a MUST SEE for any Todd fans.~ Warren Recorders Lineage:wav files from trade dvd > rename tracks traders little helper (flac 8 with sector boundary alignment and ffp) flac files tagged with foobar2000 live show tagger |

Note:Excellent Board recording (USB Stick). Excellent show. Review by Tim Burrows The Telegraph London: “Around the time of his 1973 album A Wizard, a True Star, Todd Rundgren was all set for superstardom. He dated the supermodel Bebe Buell, and frequented the New York hangout Max’s Kansas City, where he met the New York Dolls, whose debut album he produced, and Patti Smith, who wrote the album’s sleeve notes. Yet the outlandish experimentation of AWATS might have been what prevented Rundgren becoming the American Bowie. While not a small fish by any means, Rundgren never hit those heights. Yet today he still commands an obsessive global following of fans, known as “Todd-heads”. For them he ensured this Hammersmith show, in which the whole of AWATS was played live for the first time since the Seventies, was a meticulously planned affair. His white-tuxedoed six-piece band, didn’t miss a time-signature change. Yet, while the music was as faithful to the LP as possible, the most thought-out aspect of the show was his outfits. This was crowd-pleasing stuff – Liberace meets Lady Gaga — with Rundgren jogging back and forth to change into sparkling spandex, a yellow tuxedo, or the glittering indigo robe he threw on before performing a quite touching rendition of I Don’t Want to Tie You Down. AWATS is still a gorgeous fusion of styles that follows its own dream-logic. Yet here its effervescence was squeezed into a rigorous routine that resembled a West End musical. Rundgren had started the set in a space suit for the cosmic International Feel. For Hungry For Love, he came out sporting a chef’s outfit, throwing sweets into the audience from his apron like a pantomime character. For those who adored the album for its feeling of limitless possibilities, the stream of consciousness had become an irritating fairground ride. In recent years, the album has become a major influence on groups such as Daft Punk and Hot Chip, and any crate-digging hip-hop DJ worth his salt. As if stood in opposition to such hip appropriation, some Todd-heads had painted their faces and wore jackets covered in DIY messages to their hero. As the set approached the finale, Rundgren wore his most risqué outfit of the night, a gold dress with a gap to air his small belly. As he span in a circle, his dress pluming furiously as he played a lengthy guitar solo, one Todd-head in the audience, who had danced evangelically throughout, was reaching a transformative state. In Todd they still trust.” |

I SAW THE LIGHT. TINY DEMONS.BOOGIES Note:A SoundPress.net Feature Article by Rich and Laura Lynch: On a day when Christians around the world were marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ - the recording artist Todd Rundgren, known as "God" to many of his fervent fans - went down to the crossroads on the opening night of his tour that is a tribute to the blues guitarist Robert Johnson who is perhaps best-known for his alleged deal with the devil. Rundgren and his band performed to a packed house on Good Friday, April 2, 2010 at the BergenPAC in Englewood, New Jersey and by all accounts got his "Johnson" off to a great start. Todd Rundgren's musical muse has spanned many styles through the decades - morphing from power pop star to progressive rocker to acapella artist - he has been well-known for always experimenting and mixing up his approach to music. By taking on this current project Rundgren is mining territory that's been well covered by acts such as Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin and countless others - all who have been influenced by the legendary Delta bluesman Robert Johnson - who died young in 1937 - yet, made his mark on generations of guitarists with his passionate playing and vocals. |

Overall great music, half of it was Todd's take on Robert Johnson's songs and the other half an eclectic mix of Todd originals which were oriented toward the blues. Best song of the night and a pleasant surprise was the never played before live song "Bleeding" from Ballad of TR.... I have always enjoyed that album and that song. It was a pleasure to hear it. Kiddie Boy was an interesting Nazz choice that sounded good live as well. Love his take on "Crossroads", but "Sweet Home Chicago" painfully dragged along. "Born To Synthesize" was another good one that stood out for me. The rest were solid with I Saw The Light being completely unnecessary, but probably a bone to those who wouldn't recognize anything else. I for one enjoyed the more obscure stuff and understood the theme of the evening before I came, so walked away very satisfied from a musical perspective.” |

BORN TO SYNTHESIZE.WEAKNESS.RIVERSIDE.CROSSROADS.I SAW THE LIGHT.TINY DEMONS.BOOGIES Note:Review by Bob Fahrner: "Yes, Todd Rundgren blew into Lincolnshire, Illinois to promote his new album called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson," which is comprised of blues legend Robert Johnson cover tunes. The Cubby Bear North is a sizable, yet intimate club in Lincolnshire, which is located in the far northwest suburbs of Chicago. The room is very wide, but not very deep (I think I was about 15-20 feet from the stage). Todd is the only artist I know, who can promote an album in concert before it is actually released, although a 3-song MP3 EP-style package called "Todd Rundgren's Short Johnson" has been available on Amazon and other such download sites for several weeks. Same thing happened with "The Individualist" and "Arena" albums, to name a few. The show commenced at approximately 8:45pm and continued for a very generous 2+ hours. The way it went was that they would play two Johnson tunes and then two Rundgren songs - a pattern repeated throughout the evening. They opened with "I'm goin' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom..." (Dust My Broom - Robert Johnson). You know, I've been to blues bars in downtown Chicago several times. I've seen Lefty Dizz, Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker. The Rundgren's Johnson performance evoked that very same get-down feeling as these Chicago blues legends. No kidding, people were boppin' up & down and stomping their feet. These guys do not play blues like some pale imitation of a ZZ-Top cover band. They explored every nook and cranny of these classic Johnson tunes and came up with original sounding rock renditions, much in the same way that Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton did in the '60s. These songs rocked harder than most rock songs have ever rocked. About 1/3 of the way through the performance, Todd announced that "It's great to be back here at the 'Shire," which I found strange, because I don't believe he had ever set foot in Lincolnshire in his entire life, unless he once clandestinely snuck into town to capture a Debbie Reynolds revue at the Drury Lane Theater (she's BIG here). But, we digress. Rundgren dipped deep into his catalog and supplemented the show with his songs that he says were an evolution of the blues ("Mystified", "Open My Eyes", "Unloved Children"). For the very few who had barely ever heard of him, Rundgren performed "I Saw The Light." He also graced us with gems such as "Black Maria", "Born to Synthesize", "Weakness" and "Soul Brother." |

| 7/9/10 | THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL CELEBRATES THE BEATLES LOS ANGELES CA | AUDIENCE | 14 Minutes |
| Date Added:5/13/2015 Track List:BENEFIT FOR MR. KITE. EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. A DAY IN A LIFE. Note:This is so cool. Marvelous audience recording. We have the most the performances of the opening night, but what I have here of just the Todd performances that evening. It was a star studded evening, and seems our Hero stole the show. As Randy Lewis of the LA Times wrote (Todd's references in italics/bold): “The music of the Beatles, a summer night and the Hollywood Bowl: a can’t-miss recipe, right? As things turned out Friday, at the opening of a three-night “Beatles Celebration“ marking roughly the 45th anniversary of the Fab Four’s final Bowl appearances, this stuff isn’t remotely as easy as it may look, or sound. There was no dearth of sweet memory, evocative melodies, poignant lyrics or variety of stylistic interpretation of the group’s catalog from soloists Patti Austin, Todd Rundgren, Bettye LaVette, Rob Laufer and Brian Stokes Mitchell. But the music truly came alive only sporadically, primarily in the 2-1/2-hour show’s second half with LaVette’s dynamic, soul-searing set and Rundgren’s appearance that finally acknowledged the fun that was central to what the Beatles were about. Until then, it was more of a Beatles appreciation than celebration, containing little of the youthful exuberance of the band’s early songs, or the anything-goes experimental glee of its latter years. Too often the songs on the first half approached the “Rockabye Baby” series of albums that transform music of the rock era into soothing children’s lullabies. Things began promisingly with a perky instrumental arrangement of “Yellow Submarine” that showcased the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and conductor Thomas Wilkins, who revealed his own memory of first being captivated, like millions of other Americans, by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr during their Feb. 9, 1964, U.S. TV debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Austin was first up in the show, structured to give each soloist a mini-set of his or her own. The jazz-soul singer brought her deep burnished voice first to a bouncy run-through of “I’m Looking Through You,” surprisingly almost the earliest number from the group’s catalog offered all evening. No doubt the heavy emphasis on songs from “Sgt. Pepper” and beyond was given to allow the orchestra room to work on more expansive numbers most suited to the sonic enhancement. She delivered a dreamy reading of “She’s Leaving Home” that brought more attention to the intricacies of the swooping melody than McCartney’s effortless original vocal, and she hit her stride with a jazzy look at “Penny Lane.” Her utterly Americanized treatment cast a perspective of wonderment on the many British colloquialisms in the musical sketch McCartney created of his boyhood days in Liverpool. Her “Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds” jettisoned the waltz tempo verses that Lennon smartly juxtaposed to 4/4 tempo chorus, draining the song of some of its impact from the flip-flopping time signatures. The final verse gave a nod to Elton John’s reggae-ized hit version from 1973, one of several arrangements that tacitly saluted famous Beatles covers. Laufer followed, representing the Beatles re-creationist camp from his experience portraying Harrison in the “Beatlemania” musical. His pair of songs -- Harrison’s “Something” and Lennon’s “Across the Universe” -- meant to address the band’s lyrics at their most eloquent, but the presentations were more respectful than inspired. Broadway singer Mitchell tapped his musical theater background in ultra-dramatic performances of “Fool on the Hill” and “Yesterday” that, discounting the richness of the 88-member orchestra behind him, sounded much like what you can hear in piano bars anywhere. His insertion of melodica solos into both was at least one too many. Following intermission, the orchestra again took the spotlight with an arrangement of “Eleanor Rigby” in which McCartney’s lonely spinster took a musical meeting with Richard Strauss’ Zarathustra. After that, you wished the orchestra had been given the chance to interpret a few more songs. But then LaVette showed up and suddenly the music sizzled as it should. She funkified “We Can Work It Out” along the lines of Stevie Wonder's long-ago reworking and performed a Sinatra-style “Here, There and Everywhere.” On “Blackbird,” which McCartney in recent years has described as his elegy to the civil rights movement, LaVette took it into a universe of her own, her shredded sandpaper voice wringing every drop of struggle in this trenchant ode to anyone who has slain demons, within or without. And Lennon surely would have delighted in her sassy take on “Come Together,” for which she challenged anyone in the audience to explain his stream-of-consciousness lyrics. With Rundgren at last came some larger-than-life rock ‘n’ roll. He strolled grandly onstage as the band cranked up the calliope-inspired sounds of “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite,” the singer outfitted in an appropriately outsized top hat, fake walrus (nice allusion, Todd) mustache, black waistcoat, white gloves and white spats. He helped the dutiful rock band that supplemented the orchestra amp up the show’s electricity quotient with “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey,” and served as the Eric Clapton surrogate in “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” which he preceded with a nod to Ringo Starr’s momentous 70th birthday -- a Beatle is 70?-- just two nights earlier. His performance of “A Day in the Life” was the night’s most faithful to the original, the orchestra delighting in swirling to the massive climax that producer George Martin cooked up for the conclusion of the “Sgt. Pepper’s” album backing 1967. A predictable all-star finale paved the way for audience sing-alongs on “Hey Jude” and “All You Need Is Love.” Fans in their 50s, 60s and 70s, many of them with children and even grandchildren in tow, waved arms, fired up lighters and cellphone screens ceremonially while beaming smiles and shedding the occasional tear. Given this was the Hollywood Bowl, where the Fab Four had torn things up so raucously nearly a half century ago, at least one fan wished this celebration had traded some of the earnest camaraderie for more of the freewheeling spirit that has endeared the Beatles and their music to generation after generation. Perhaps they figured, possibly correctly, that since McCartney did just that so well a couple of months ago under the very same orchestra shell, why try to compete? But a Hollywood Bowl celebration for the Beatles with no “Twist and Shout”? No “She Loves You”? No “Can’t Buy Me Love”? A hard day’s night, indeed.” -- Randy Lewis |

EVERYBODYS GOING TO HEAVEN ~ KING KONG REGGAE. #1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. USELESS BEGGING. SIDEWALK CAFE. IZZAT LOVE. HEAVY METAL KIDS. DONT YOU EVER LEARN. CD TWO: HEALER. PULSE. FLESH. GOLDEN GOOSE. COMPASSION. SHINE. TINY DEMONS. HEALING PART I. HEALING PART II. HEALING PART III. TIME HEALS. SONS OF 1984. Note:These are both incredible audience recordings. Honestly can’t pick between the two which is a better source. Good problem to have. Here’s a review by Ben Summer: I went into the show expecting "Healing" to be the quiet little opening appetizer and "Todd" to be the main course. Since so much of "Healing" is synth-based and atmospheric-y, I just didn't see it lending itself to being played by a band. (I was thinking it might get the "Todd sings with his laptop" treatment in the opening slot.) But instead, the show opened with the "Todd" album, which was fun and all, but a full-band rendering of "Healing" felt like the much more focused and powerful centerpiece. So happy to see that album get its due. If you would have asked me 2 days ago, I would have said that even though "Healing" is an album that I love dearly, it doesn't seem like one that would be particularly exciting to see performed live (especially side 2). Who wants to meditate at a rock concert? Right now I'm hard pressed to think of any concert experience I've ever had that I found more exciting, meant more to me, or which stirred me more emotionally. The crowd was hanging onto and reacting to every move on stage. That made the show even better. Even though the albums are from quite a few year back, performed live, they felt fresh and vital. I don't believe "Healing" was toured back in the day (other than a couple of songs that have cropped-up in other tours) and a lot of "Todd" hadn't been played live in decades and some of it maybe never. So at least in the context of live performance, a lot of this show is "new material." It didn't feel like musicians sleep-walking through a 35 year old record that they've played 10,000 times before. This felt like they were tackling fresh, challenging material, attempting feats of musical daring that they might not make it through, and going for it. Some of those edges might get polished over the remaining few shows, but I thought the occasional talking back and forth, directing, cues, etc gave the show a fun and intimate character. The Todd album is an inspired choice for this type of show (as was AWATS) 'cause there is such a range of material: Hendrixian acid guitar rock, dense electronic instrumentals, show tunes, signature Todd pop, near-metal rockers, anthems, ballads... it was a great showcase of musical muscle and adventure, and a great ride live. Though compared to the AWATS show, chucking the costume changes this year was a big step in the right direction. I was surprised to see Todd behind the piano so much, because I thought he had sworn off the thing, which is probably best for the one-man-type shows. With the aid of a band/supporting cast, however, I thought he did a fine job and it added a lot. Sure there were a couple of little clams in there maybe... they fit perfectly in the drunken blue roster, and he seemed to be riffing on that. The intro to Shine with just Todd at the piano was great. Though admittedly, his piano appeared to single-handedly nearly sink "Don't You Ever Learn" at one point. There were many highlights, but a couple that I wouldn't have expected: The Spark of Life (great build-up and benefitted from the looser live treatment). And Flesh. The last song of the night was "Sons of 1984" which, although I like some of the message and all, I just have never been crazy about. But at the show, the crowd was doing its sing-along schtick at the end of the song, and the curtain came down and the band faded-out, and the crowd kept on singing. And kept on going. And going. House lights come-up, and the crowd keeps on going. I suppose the band fade-out was done that way to set this all up, but it was cool. And I HATE contrived audience sing-along stuff. I thought this was TR - and for my money, music itself - at it's very best: adventurous, self-examining, and inspirational. |

I have seen a lot of Todd/Utopia shows in my life...this one would be in the top 3 all time. Todd performed with incredible energy and was totally "Into It", his voice was strong, the guitar playing spectacular and I marveled at his keyboard prowess. The band was great...the venue and sound quality wonderful, the stage set and lighting fabulous...nothing but superlatives from me about this show. And I came away with a much greater appreciation for the musical skills of Bobby Strickland and Greg Hawes. A mesmerizing and memorable evening that I will never forget. If you want to get "Into It", this is the show for you! Thank you Todd, Kasim, Jesse, Greg, Prairie, Bobby and chorus! |

I do not know who the band members are, but they really are a treat and carry this performance to make it sound listenable. Strange set (a lot of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)Definetly just for the diehard. I have it here in the Archives just for posterity. It's so hard to believe that Moogy was to leave us just 10 month's later (Nov. 15).~ Warren |

Note:Todd Rundgren's Utopia Reunion featuring Moogy Klingman, Ralph Schuckett, John Siegler, Kevin Ellman and Todd Rundgren. A bittersweet gathering with cheers and tears and much applause, this is the first of two sold out Moogy Benefits that started "the reunion". The show starts with Moogy on stage playing solo, then Todd walks out and they perform "Never Never Land" together, and then the band arrives and they perform "Crying in the Sunshine" and "Lady Face". The performance is quite good, considering the few rehearsals and challenging material...,and the setlist is amazing. Kevin Ellman has a groove like no other. Moogy appears to be quite touched and thanks his Utopian Brothers while introducing the encores. This reunion show was extra special for Klingman, who was battling cancer. Special moments abound!~ Weavil |

Ellman and Siegler, one of the best rhythm sections of all-time, kick it up a few notches and Ralph's keyboard work is amazing. All of the songs are executed better than Night 1 but Todd makes a bit of a mess in Freak Parade, resorting to reading a lyrics sheet. It seemed to wake him up a bit, and the rest of the performance is much better. It's fantastic how tight the band are after just a couple of weeks on the road. It's clearly evident just how important Moogy's playing was to the texture and groove of the Utopia sound. The Ikon is INCREDIBLE!~ Weavil |

| 2/1/11 | JIMMY FALLON SHOW | DUB OF TV BROADCAST | N/A |
| Date Added:8/8/2012 Track List:COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. I SAW THE LIGHT. Note:Todd sits in with Fallon's fine houseband, The Roots, to perform I Saw the Light. It was great to see Todd getting some big-time TV exposure on Jimmy "Can't Buy A Laugh" Fallon. It reminded me of the old Letterman days when Todd filled in for Paul. He seemed comfortable and at ease with The Roots, for the most part. Jimmy seemed to catch him off guard during the Philly/Bearsville conversation as Todd was wearing the Cleveland shirt (again) as they kinda talked over each other. The song choices, other than the blatant hits, were surprising. Much like his times with Letterman, partial songs were played going in and out of the commercial breaks. Breathless really floored me the moment the Roots' keysman started it. Todd noodled over the top a bit. Bang The Drum All Day came in out of a commercial. Under The Ice was another unexpected gem and was played as Ice Cube was introduced-he seemed to have no clue the song included his "name". Black Maria led into a commercial...and back into the show. Can We Still Be Friends was met with a strange drum groove and very rough vocal, too much Utopia over the weekend?;) This led into, and out of, commercials. Hello It's Me(ester) was done as Leighton Meester walked onstage. I Went to the Mirror was also played, much to my surprise. This may have been the best of the bunch when seen/heard in its' entirety by those in the studio audience. Despite it's 'over-performedness' in recent years, I Saw the Light was the 'feature song', with a slightly botched middle section/guitar solo. Guitar harmonies were attempted. An Ikon-ish A Jam was also featured. Couldn't I Just tell You was also performed in its entirety but not broadcast in its entirety. ~ Weavil |

Note:This is one of the finest web shows on the planet and the second time Todd has appeared on “Live From Daryl’s House.” I thought the first performance from Daryl's House with Todd could not be topped but this does exactly that, going above-and-beyond! Daryl Hall takes the 40th webisode of Live From Daryl's House to Kauai, Hawaii, a most magical setting, where he and old Philly pal Todd Rundgren join together live from Todd's house for a rousing seven-song set that included some gems I never would have anticipated. Seeing Daryl so gracious towards Todd and his music was very endearing and both legends bring their A-game. These performances are spectacular and the band is also incredible, but it's really all about these songs being performed live by two of music's best living vocalists. ~ Weavil |

But JB's version here is incredible. Some great reviews came out of this show too! Here's mega-fan Glen Byryd's take on it: "Friday, April 1, 2011 is a day I shall long remember and cherish. The crowd that assembled in Columbus' nicely restored and wonderfully acoustic, beautiful Southern Theatre mixed and mingled pre-show like the old friends we are; brothers and sisters waiting to join together with cousins Todd, Kas, Jessie, Prairie, Greg and Bobby in this musical experience. The curtain came up in the theatre and the energy began to flow. The Todd set was great, nearly flawless and crackled with light, beauty and artistry. The Last Ride was outstanding and I am more amazed each time I see Bobby Strickland perform. His solo on TLR was so powerful and moving as was TR's lead. Heavy Metal Kids and Everybody Goes to Heaven just jammed hard! Prairie and Kas drove those songs and Todd unleashed the Guitar God on his Fool! Kasim's keyboard work and vocals were excellent and he played his K-bass as well as he's ever; with grace and style that brought joy as he rocked and thundered. The band was tight. Prairie was immaculate and precise. Greg's keyboard and synth work was stellar. Jessie is so freaking' great! Few guitarists are his equal. The Hocking College Vocal Ensemble and George Hertzel were excellent. They were enthusiastic and talented and excited to part of it all. And then there's Todd. TR seemed relaxed and happy as he performed. His voice had been used a good bit over the past few days but he was clear and full of power. His piano work was very good on Don't You Ever Listen and Drunken Blue Rooster. Lord Chancellor's and King Kong Reggae were big fun. The Last Ride was as good as I've ever experienced, moving, soulful and intense. The Healing set was just that. Todd came out and delivered his message of love and healing, reminding us that we are all children of the Great Creator worthy of Love and called to missions of being Peacemakers, Lightworkers and Healers. I was moved to tears and was filled with light and joy several times during the set and am and shall always be grateful to have been part of this. Having been in Akron, this was a wonderful closure and inspiration. Thanks to Doug and Mel and all those who made this happen and to everyone who gives themselves to love and support Todd, his work and his merry band of players. "You can be whole again, be healed again and make your body follow..." Shine you mothers!" |

COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. HELLO IT'S ME. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:Very great audience recording! If your looking for a copy of this area in the 2011 touring than this is it! Review by John Heslin: The stage is small, somewhat cramped for the players. From the audience perspective, from left to right, the set up is: Prairie, Jesse, Sultan then Ferenzik. While photos of the Bearsville Theatre from 3 nights earlier showed Prairie and Juan on risers, tonight they are at stage level. Bearsville photos also showed a video screen behind the band; no screen at Infinity. TR's mic is front and center. A mic stand - a somewhat static TR? be still my heart. It's about 8:15, the band takes the stage and as they begin to play Real Man, TR walks on. As much as I like Greg Hawkes, it is great to see Ferenzik back at the keys. His vocals are a welcome addition as well. The band then segues into Love of The Common Man, reminiscent of the 2nd Wind tour. If the great summer day and the warm architecture of the Infinity Hall hasn't put you in a good mood, these two songs surely should have done it. After those two obvious, TR's first rap begins as he explains he is suffering from a summer cold. It's surprising, as his voice is in good form. It is at this point that he praises the Infinity and then goes into a talk about promoting his Johnson CD, which is a song too early. The band informs him of this and he apologizes, blames it on the irregular regime of drugs and the band continues as planned with Buffalo Grass. Next up is the homage to Robert Johnson, one hundred years old plus dead. The song is Kindhearted Woman Blues, after which the Blues - pffft, gone. Now comes the rarity - a song TR explains is one of their least performed songs. In the liner notes to the aforementioned Obvious/Less compilation, Todd writes "Oddly enough, this song has rarely been performed live, mostly because I find it so difficult to play the jangly guitar part and sing simultaneously." Perhaps not much has changed since '95 as the lyrics are a struggle tonight. He gets off track about midway through and from that point, the song is a mix and mangle of verses until three days in the rain finishes it properly. Still a highlight (albeit diminished). Prairie takes a quick break as TR puts his butt down on the stool and they "bring the house down" with Lucky Guy. Another lyrical glitch as verse three comes before verse two tonight. It's less of a glaring glitch than Determination, likely only noticed by anal retentive fans. Prairie returns but the soft sounds continue with a beautiful rendition of Can We Still Be Friends. Things perk up considerably with Espresso. If it weren't for the wood, the stained glass, the comfortable chairs, the great acoustics and the cool air, I'd have thought I was drunk at Toad's Place waiting for a hamster smoothie. At this point, Todd mentioned they have been having trouble counting in the next song. The band teases as they play the false start to Hello It's Me from S/A but instead go right into Love Is The Answer. Another hit, well received. Next up (a song for the scandinavian tourists perhaps) the bossa nova version of It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference. At this point, we are reminded Lost Horizon is not just the bread of a big Gaye sandwich. Lost Horizon exists tonight all by its lonesome and that's a good thing. I've been coughing for four weeks now; if TR has a cold, I sure as hell can't tell. The HiM intro tease begins again, fooling many in the audience but this time, Todd give us Flaw. Never have the words "motherfucker" sounded so sweet. We have come to the Liars portion of the evening as this is followed by Soul Brother. For soul, TR gets back on his feet and he gets his groove on. A short malfunction forces a Ferenzik change of keys and they eventually, naturally, follow Soul Brother with I'm So Proud/Ooh Baby Baby/La La Means medley. At the end of this, Marvin gets his due with the bossa nova version of "I Want You." I don't recall ever hearing the next song as anything but a closer. As far as I'm concerned, it's welcome in any part of any set. The crowd is silent throughout. The band is tight. Todd's voice is strong. The backing vocals are perfect. This is a gem and a great big one. The song is Hawking. I Saw the Light fills the venue with joy. It's a light upbeat tune after the heavy beauty of Hawking. It's a crowd pleaser to be sure. Like the fly batters itself against the window, they once again try to get the countdown right. This time, the tease is so perfect it's as if I'm spinning S/A on the turntable. But, the rug gets pulled again as they play Courage. When I saw Courage on the set list, I reacted with a "meh." I was wrong. A song TR once described as uncharacteristic of the songs off of Arena, it is indeed light and gentle on the palate and it fits in perfectly with the entirety of the set list. The show is coming to a close and Drive rocks out. There was another minor switching of verses in this song, but who cares. Couldn't I Just Tell You includes a subdued TR/Kasim kick schtick and ends the set. Concerned with our need to start the work week in the morning, Todd returns to the stage after only a minute or two and introduces the orchestra. Finally, the teasing is over and with the first song of the encore, he gives the people what they want - with a twist in the middle and was that some swing at the end? Hello It's Me - it may be my favorite version EVAH. And the night at this little gem of a venue ends with the gem that is A Dream Goes On Forever. Great show. Highly recommended. |

Note:Very good audience grab of what us Todd fanatics are calling the ‘Hits Show’ by this time. Review by our good friend Roger Steel: “The show started shortly after 8:00. Same exact set list and running order. Todd was in very good spirits which I've heard hasn't been the case in some of the other recent shows. He was having a lot of fun with the crowd, particularly over the song requests they were yelling out. Lighthearted "We're not taking requests" was uttered by Todd throughout the show. He also chided his tour itinerary, questioning why a logical next stop wouldn't be in Cleveland vs. all the way back to Oneonta, NY. I understand that the band has been struggling with their timing at the start of songs. This show was no different but it almost seemed like they were doing it on purpose. Some of the missteps were so blatant that you had a hard time believing that a band that's played together for so long could be so off. It didn't detract from the show though. It was actually kind of fun and added a human element to what was an otherwise tight performance. The show had more of a "With a Twist" feel to it than I expected. Todd sat for a good portion and played guitar on only a handful of songs. It was more laid back than we've experienced in recent Arena, Johnson and album tours but it was a good laid back though. There's a little bit of something for everyone in this show. "Determination" was a particular treat for me. "Hawking" killed as well but every song really did for that matter. The appreciative but not overly boisterous crowd couldn't get enough at the end. A fan chorus of "Todd, Todd, Todd..." was loud and proud well after the house lights came up. There was a brief glimmer of hope that we'd be graced with one more song but it just wasn't to be. Todd gave us all he had in the two hours prior so can't imagine anyone leaving there disappointed. I certainly didn't.” ~ Warren |

Note:Review by fan Peter Chalverus: "BB King's is certainly doing their part to go green by having the thermostat at an inappropriate setting for a muggy, hot summer night. Todd even commented about it affecting his "coif". They had a video system and the camera, stage right, needing a backfocusing something terrible. The op tried to roll the focus as best he could, but was struggling. The quality of the projectors was akin the old super 8 movies some of us may have watched in our basements as kids. My wife asked me why it kept going from color to black and white. There was no follow spot, so when Todd got on his horse and went to either side of the stage the lighting was poor, at best. The sound system was pretty good, but in the mix Ferenzik's keys were a bit low. We had some choice seats so I don't think it was our positioning. The set list was as listed in previous reviews. Todd still seems to be struggling with a sore throat/cold or something and his voice seemed to be straining most of the night. Particularly when he needed to hit the high notes. Although it did, in my opinion, compliment one of the greatest screams in RnR history especially on the song Drive. But Todd definitely needs to be putting more of the Royal Ginseng Honey into some hot water to try and soothe the vocal cords. Half way into Real Man I'm thinking this is going to be a long night. The schtick of counting into Hello It's Me seemed a bit forced but all did a good job with their acting abilities. Todd was able to make most of his ballads sound sweet with Hawking being a highlight for me. The other highlight of the night was when Kas joined Todd front and center for the leg kicking during Couldn't I Just Tell You. This brought back so many fond memories of some great nights going to Utopia concerts. Both Todd and Kas sported huge smiles as they did this. The other highlight was being able to bring my nephew, who is a music major, to his first Todd show. Another convert! Unfortunately these few bright spots could not overcome the trouble Todd is having with the pipes." |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER.HELLO IT'S ME. Note:Awsome acoustics and sound. Another fine Cleveland audience recording by our pal Jon Babcock. Review by Bruce Hicks: "Todd's show in Cleveland tonight was easily his best here in the last 20 years. To put it simply, Todd was "ON". Vocals (even though you could tell he was getting past a cold, he was amazing...how'd he manage for 2 hours so well?!), guitar prowess, and his unmistakable humor...he was "ON". The set list was diverse and did not disappoint. Easily the best show I've seen him do in the last 15 years. No obvious blunders (outside of those he intentionally caused, and the issues that were beyond his control...left side of stage had a power outage, Jessie's guitar failed during Love of the Common Man for a few moments, and he made a relatively effortless switch to correct the problem midway through). Except for the few morons that had to yell something at the quietest point of Hawking, I was proud to be a Clevelander at a Todd show, for a change. And ya know when Todd nails Hawking and "Medley" (plus Marvin Gaye tune), he's more than mind bending. There's only one Todd. He very much showed up in Cleveland tonight. A show of this caliber is what keeps us coming back for more (in my case, since 1977)! Thanks Todd, and band!! By the way, what was "solo" about this show? Ah, who cares.... " |

Note:On the eve of Carmageddon, a packed house at the Canyon Club became "Rundgren Heaven" when Todd Rundgren performed a wide variety of his most popular songs. The thing about Rundgren fans is that they are completely dedicated to this multi-talented musician/ songwriter/producer/technological innovator. The audience welcomed him with ears wide open, as Rundgren treated them to hit after hit from his diverse catalog of songs with a brief nods to the blues and a healthy dose of soul. Opening the show with "Real Man," Rundgren strode maniacally across the stage back and forth reaching out to a grateful audience and ensuring that everyone in this intimate venue knew that their dear friend was back. Mixing it up with a variety of material, Rundgren's voice was strong and clear, backed up by a spot on band consisting of alumni players Kasmin Sulton (bass), Jesse Gress (guitar)Prairie Prince (drums, tucked in the corner) and John Frenzik (keyboards). Stand-out songs included Robert Johnson's "Kind Hearted Woman," "Lucky Guy" "Soul Brother" and a medley containing "Ooo Baby, Baby," which had the audience matching the angelic harmonies on stage. Rundgren paced himself well throughout the show, singing a fair number of songs seated on a stool center stage. However, it would have been nice to see him play guitar more. If you are a Todd Rundgren fan, you would not have been disappointed; if you're not a fan, this was an excellent opportunity to be converted. Seriously, I knew I must of been in heaven... because everyone I spoke to kept saying "Todd is God." ~ David Pascal of Agoura Hill Patch |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:This is the best Audience recording of this tour, albeit an abbreviated setlist. The mix is excellent and comes into full focus quite quickly. This "best of the best of tour" show is executed well and Todd's voice is "on", outside of a few 'stretchy' moments, and full of extra energy and emotion at times. The band has these tunes down by now and is tight while harmonies are good to great and present...perhaps a bit too present at times. Albeit a bit sparce due to the setlist , Todd's guitar work is quite stellar, I just wish there was more of it. Prairie has a few issues early on while he gets his kit fine-tuned (but it's not too distracting) and the soundman has some issues with bottom-end feedback during Buffalo Grass but gets it under control for the rest of the show. Like many Japanese recordings, the audience is respectfully quiet, making this an excellent recording Marc Ribot and The Faces were also on the bill. This tour is quite dynamic, volume-wise, and it is captured, and executed, well on this MUST-HAVE recording. ~ Jeff 'Weavil' |

Once again Todd surprises his Dutch fans. After the collaboration with the New York City Quartet Ethel at the opening night of Tromp Festival at Eindhoven (15th November 2008) and at Amsterdam Carré (11 th and 12th June 2005) the Dutch fans were lucky again. You're lucky! Todd cheered at the beginning of the sold out Paradiso concert. And I'm lucky, he honestly added. And so he was, and we were! Todd with a voluminous orchestra, a tremendous gift. Todd has some orchestral pieces on his repertoire and now we had chance to see and hear what that could mean. A full and rich sound and very formidable. Although almost every song Todd was accompanied by the Metropole Orchestra it wasn't boring or monotone. His non-orchestral songs (like Hello it's me and We gotta get you a woman) became richer and more spaciousness and the arrangements were pretty variable. Like the Ethel gig at Eindhoven 2008 the Metropole Orchestra started the gig with the impressive Flamingo (unfortunately not segued by Zen archer like Ethel did) and then Todd entered the modified stage. The Paradiso stage had been extended specially for the gig. So less than half of the standing places were left. The other fans went to the balconies. But Todd didn't ignore them and occasionally he looked up for them and made contact. Very surprisingly the started with my favorite No world order song Property. It was a bit odd to see and hear that the orchestra's guitar player (guitar veteran Lex Bolderdijk) was doing the guitar solo, because Todd mainly concentrated on singing this evening. It was a good decision because you could see Todd needed to put all his energy in singing. It seems he had a little cold and now and then his voice/vocals drowned in the orchestral maneuvers. But maybe it was the sound mix or the fact I was standing in the front row. God said was done very convincing by Todd and the Orchestra really added something to this Liars-song. Incredible and again the crowd went crazy. Common man was performed like the With a twist arrangement and this "lounge song" was the first breathing space for the very enthusiastic crowd. With minimal accompaniment by the orchestra Todd almost a cappella sang Pretending to care, one of the most intimate moments of the concert. The crowd concentrated waited till the last note of the Metropole Orchestra before applauding. Then the first sing a long came across. Hello it's me followed by the most orchestral songs of the evening: The smell of money and If I have to be alone. The orchestra and the arranger were at their best with these two songs and the musical options of the whole orchestras were strongly used. Todd showed his theatric side and the crowd was both cheered as impressed. Then Todd did the act with his white gloves with all the phonetics of the crazy sounds of Onomatopia written on two hand gloves. After finishing the song he simulated not to be satisfied with the tempo of the song and did it again but a bit faster! Stunning for the crowd, Todd and the orchestra. The vocals on Bag lady showed Todd's voice is becoming weaker during the last 10 years but the sentimental journey of this song compensated this. So did We got to get you a woman. It was the first time I heard this song live and sweeter memories came along. Mammom followed by fascist Christ was the hard rock segment of the evening which showed that an orchestra really can rock and rumble. These power songs showed Todd's fanatical anger about religions. On Fascist Christ the first time this evening his picked up his guitar. He continued guitar playing during the reprise of Flamingo and after about 1 ½ hour gigging the concert was over. But the crowd yelled and begged for more and the (planned) encore showed again the skills of the orchestra and Todd. Wailing wall was great by its simplicity and lyrics and the last two songs we're again sing a longs with huge crowd participation, Can we still be friends and I saw the light (again Todd on guitar) Todd came along without his usual musical buddies Kasim, Prairie en Jesse. The orchestra's rhythm section was doing okay and guitar player Lex Bolderdijk did a good job. After the concert he stated playing Todd's guitar parts weren't difficult or challenging and Todd was a relaxed artist working with during the four rehearsal sessions. Conductor Steve Sidwell confirmed this. It was nice working with Todd but musically not very difficult. Due to the orchestra's arranger the collaboration was prepared very well." |

Note:Very good recording sent to us by our new ‘ToddFriend’ in the UK, Kevin Lewis. Weird that Todd was being so very interchangeable for this period of a European leg. Changing up between a ‘Hits’ Show, a ‘With A Twist’ Set and a ‘Johnson’ Set! Todd chose to do the ‘Hits’ show for this venue. It’s no wonder that three nights later, at Ronnie Scott’s, the reviewers all said that the band seemed ‘unrehearsed’ and ‘almost confused at times’. But for this evening Superfan N.D. Michaelson seemed pretty pleased.~ Warren N.D. Michaelson Review (from the TRConnection): “What an odd choice of venue (Toddly enough) considering last time out in London (Feb 2010) it was the Hammersmith Apollo, or Odeon as those of my generation will probably still refer to it. Nevertheless it was great to see Todd and the band (the 'Liars' line-up) in such intimate surroundings. The set list was as for the Manchester show (as previously reviewed by John Hughes). What we now call a ‘Hits’ Show, covering virtually all of Todd's career with material from 'Something...' up to one from 'TR's Johnson' and, as Todd made a point of saying, the material was selected to be what we would have chosen had they taken requests, "which we don't". Now we all know he is 'AWATS' but a collective mind-reader too? Well on this evidence perhaps so. It was a very popular set of songs with the audience although I'd imagine everyone could pick out some personal favorites that were missing. Mine would include 'The last ride', 'Just one victory', 'Secret society’ and 'Truth' but relatively rarities such as 'Determination', 'Lucky Guy', 'Drive', and 'Espresso' were very welcome. Todd and the band seemed to be in fine humor saying that they were enjoying their stay in London, had actually walked to the gig and would play there indefinitely, to which one wag replied that it would bankrupt him - not clear if he meant himself or Todd. In terms of the performance I would have to say that the louder material (which bookended the mellower, sit-down stuff) was at times both distorted and apparently causing the band monitor problems, detracting somewhat from the otherwise excellent 'Courage' in particular. I would attribute this to the smallness of the venue. Todd made references to the fact that English audiences seemed especially sensitive to how little he played guitar in this show and indeed, although I didn't count, it can't have been for more than about 6 songs which given his virtuosity and with no disrespect to Jesse Gress is a shame. Obviously then the focus was on Todd the vocalist (an area in which I believe he is very under-rated) and as he got warmed-up his voice got better and better through the course of the show. The band are great, but if you're reading this you'd expect no less...Kas and Prairie make a superb rhythm section. Somehow Todd seems to be defying the years, looking in fine shape and giving it plenty in terms of performance. With a back catalogue of such richness you'd have to be there all night to get all of the best in (and I'm sure many would happily do so) but this was an excellent 'Best of Todd' show. He is truly in a class of his own, but you know that already. Finally if you read this Rob H, thanks for turning me on to him all those years ago.” |

Note:Another very good recording sent to us by our new ‘ToddFriend’ in the UK, Kevin Lewis. The performances? Well….as I mentioned in the above entry, why Todd decided to do this is beyond me. They were being so very interchangeable for this period of a European leg. Changing up between a ‘Hits’ Show, a ‘With A Twist’ Set and a ‘Johnson’ Set! Todd chose to do the ‘Hits’ show for one venue. And it’s no wonder that three nights later, here at Ronnie Scott’s, the reviewers all said that the band seemed ‘unrehearsed’ and ‘almost confused at times’.~ Warren Review (on TRConnection) by Todd Fan Andy Cade on ‘With A Twist’ Set: We'd only booked the first house so when Kaz greeted the queue outside Ronnie's to film us for his 'Back Stage Pass' website and confirmed it was to be Bossa Nova set first I felt a tinge of disappointment. In fact the set was hugely enjoyable and fun. Todd's band throughout the Bossa Nova set. Todd and band played for around 80mins and they then 'flipped' the house. We had to wend our way home. He wasn't scheduled to finish 2nd set until 1am which is way past our cocoa time! It was a good night - one to remember. We stepped into the Soho night invigorated and with much to talk about on our train journey home, with some regret at not having booked both shows. My particular faves were 'Fidelity' from Nearly Human and Espresso (what a great show song that would make should anyone write a 'juke box musical' of Todd songs). Plus 'I Was Born to Synth' whose jazzy rearrangement gave the band individual solo opportunities. Review (on TRConnection) by Todd Fan Peter Collinson on the ‘Johnson’ Set: “Like the other gigs on this European tour, the gig was billed as 'the greatest hits show that the fans have always wanted'. With promo like that, what is there not to look forward too? And to see Todd at such a prestigious, intimate venue could only be every fans dream. So we booked our tickets, train and hotel and headed off to London thinking this was going to be the show of a lifetime. As always with Ronnie Scott's there are two house sets and given that the first show is restricted by the start-time of the second, we thought the later set would be the one to see -- after all that's normally the way things work out at Ronnie Scotts. As people came out of the first house show the comments were consistently of the highest order and the set list seemed pretty much what I expected. So what could possibly go wrong? Only that Todd decided to change the show completely for the second house and play a Blues set. Worse still was that the band (who we all know are of the highest caliber) didn't seem to know the numbers or be able to 'feel' the Blues coherently -- often looking at each other in complete confusion when breaks and endings didn't work. I am not being unkind when I say that I have heard tighter and better blues bands down at the local pub than what I heard on Saturday night. It was not only very disappointing, but at times it was a shambles. Halfway through the show various people in the audience started shouting for Todd to play something better known -- someone shouted for soul - so he apparently grudgingly announced they would play the I'm so Proud Soul medley -- and it briefly looked like things might pick up -- but Todd decided he'd had enough after the first two numbers in the medley and stopped the band mid-flight, once again returning to unknown blues territory. I heard a number of shouts of 'Rubbish!' around the house and many shouts for ' Real Man' and various other 'expected' songs but Todd had decided we weren't going to get it. There were a couple of brief interludes with I saw the Light and Black Maria but even when it came to the encore we got yet another Blues number with Todd making some arrogant comment about those who hadn't made it to first base yet were never going to make it. We didn't even get Hello It's Me! So thanks Todd for shattering a dream and wasting £500 of my hard-earned money. I waited 35 years for 'the greatest hits show the fans have always wanted' -- might have been nice if you'd actually publicized that you weren't going to play it in the second house set at Ronnies. -- and next time you want to rehearse the band, it might be better if you didn't do it with an audience. I never thought I'd be so negative about a Todd gig but this set was misplaced and well below an acceptable standard.” |

| Date Added:8/8/2012 Track List:SOUNDCHECK:IKON.ANOTHER LIFE/SOMETHING'S COMING. DISC ONE:UTOPIA THEME.FREAK PARADE.HEAVY METAL KIDS.ANOTHER LIFE.SOMETHINGS COMING.DO YA.THE SEVEN RAYS.THE WHEEL.DISC TWO:THE IKON.FREEDOM FIGHTERS. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:I was way too close to front security to relax and record this all like I wanted... or make the necessary adjustments. But I did get much of it. It's not as great as I would have liked it. But it is a good recording. I missed some of the beginning of Ikon. Atlanta loves Todd (always has) so the ambience of the recording is what's so incredible. After the meet & greet, I was front stage left, and near 'Ellenseyes05' (on YouTube) who always does a great job of fan filming. I guess what I'm trying to say is, that my audio is similiar quality phonics (or just a little better) as the 'soundtrack' of their video. My girl friend beside us, is the one who gave Todd the Roses...seen in the video. So listen to Ellenseyes05 video on YouTube. My equipment was not that bad, it's just that Ellenseyes05 was that good (looked like a pocket digital camera that could shoot video).So between the two of us (and a couple of other fan filmers), we got a pretty good document of the show. There were some missed notes, missed lyrics, and Todd seemed to struggle with some high notes (only something that you or I would notice) right away. Kasim filled in for Moogy during the Tour of this part of the country. This recording is a real keeper if I do say so myself...chuckle~ Warren |

This one by our buddy Moz (who, from what I understand, hits all the Todd shows here within the Carolinas and Georgia areas every year!). And that's a lot of ground to cover. Thank you for this awesome record Mike. Review by southeastern fan Jeff Boehlert: "What we got was exactly as expected - a phenomenal 2 hour set of material from "TR's Utopia" & "Another Live". Band looked and sounded great - (Moogy we missed you - your karma was in the house). The Ikon, Freak Parade, The Wheel, Seven Rays, Something's Coming, Do Ya.........and of course encoring with Just One Victory.!!!! Great job on the attire Michele/Rachel - also lended itself to many comical moments from Todd :) A great evening with great friends and another awesome Todd show." |

JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Fusiony/prog rock Utopia Reunion marred by the illness of Moogy, who was supposed to be here, but was unable to perform and near death. (He passed away on the 16th). Given the complexity of some of this music, it was a pretty major feat to pull this off for a short tour. Sound is good for a venue the size of the theatre. The Theatre is considered a ‘half round’. They have clearly worked out most of the arrangements for this material. Kasim and Jessie are both manning keyboards throughout the show. There were a few bad notes or chords from time to time and only slight transition problems. We have a new found respect for Moogy after these shows. For those who witnessed the January concerts where they tore through this material with little more than a few hours rehearsal, it's clear that his talents were a massive piece of this band and clearly the glue that bound this particular lineup together. Kasim and Jessie are coming along nicely to fill in but Moogy's influence on this material is massive and is sorely missed. The unfortunate part in all this is that the first week of shows are where they have had to work out the kinks because of Moogy's last minute absence. |

Note: Excellent Audience Recording by John Schwetje. I took the liberty of some ‘area beautification by bringing highlights out front and upping the Bass a bit. Now ‘Soundboard-like’ for sure (Especially unique for a Theater of this size). Now best Audience we have from this Tour. Which was marred somewhat by the illness of Moogy Klingman, who was supposed to be on this tour, but was unable and near death. That's why Kasim is on keys(!?!?!). Very nice feeling seeing and hearing this version of Utopia again. Given the complexity of some of this music, it was a pretty major feat to pull this off for a short tour. ~ Warren Recording Lineage: Source- Roland Edirol R-09> Audacity for splitting>cd-da extractor to WAV>TLH Wav to flac>TLH Todd -guitar, vocals Ralph Shuckett-keys, bg vox John Siegler-bass, bg vox Kevin Ellman-drums Kasim Sultan-keys, bg vox Jesse Gress-percussion, bg vox |

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. Note:Recorded by yours truly. Sound is good, but is very distant acoustically. I was seated center of the theatre- half way back in the ‘floor’ seats. And security seemed to want to ‘hang’ close to our seats. I couldn’t hang the ‘mikes’ out openly. With the exception of Ringo (of course) Todd commanded this audience. Yep, though only 'featured' on three tunes, Todd really stole the this show...For Atlanta loves Todd, and he always puts on a great performance for us...any/every time. Ringo's line-up for the 2012 All Starr Band featured Todd, Gregg Rolie (Santana), Joe Walsh, Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr. Mister) and saxophonist Mark Rivera (Billy Joel) and drummer Gregg Bissonette. Solid flawless two hour show. I caught 113 minutes of it. The fabulous FOX appeared full. Enthusiastic audience. Each artist had their fan following. They all seemed to really enjoy playing together. This is a keeper for me, if just for the posterity.~ Warren |

Note:I know some of you aren't real excited about Ringo's All Starr shows. But this one, in particular, is a Soundboard recording and an awesome one too. A cable broadcast marking Ringo's 72nd Birthday. I got to see Ringo 's All Starrs (w/Todd) the night before this, at the Atlanta Fox Theatre on July 6 and I audio recorded it (see above entry…the sound quality is poor...distorted bottom level). So, to find this performance available was a real present for me. And then I found many professional photographs from the Atlanta show on-line at Corbis. Though only 'featured' on three tunes, Todd really stole the Atlanta show...For Atlanta loves Todd and he always puts on a great performance for us...any/every time. This set is identical so I imagine Nashville Todd fans were entertained. Ringo's line-up for the 2012 All Starr Band featured Todd, Gregg Rolie (Santana), Joe Walsh, Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr. Mister) and saxophonist Mark Rivera (Billy Joel) and drummer Gregg Bissonette. This was the All Starrs' 13th tour and this one with Todd ran June 14th through July 21st in support of his album 'Ringo 2012'. ~ Warren |

Another ‘Unpredictable’ show that even though electric guitars are present; it seems very much acoustic ‘unplugged’ performance. As Todd continues this humorous show, the audience is a little quiet (for Cleveland!). Here’s a review though from a Cleveland Columnist Bruce Hicks: “With nearly four decades of concerts in Cleveland under his guitar strap, Todd Rundgren continued his ongoing and very public love affair with Cleveland last night at the Agora Theatre for the first of two shows. Judging by the reaction of the crowd, one thing was clear: Cleveland continues to love Rundgren as much as he loves Cleveland. Vocalist, songwriter, studio virtuoso, multi instrumentalist, multi media wizard, and true star, Rundgren has crossed genres ranging from prog and hard rock, new wave, dance, techno, rap, bossa nova, soul, pop, blues, and beyond. And let’s not forget country. Backed by long time and much loved bassist Kasim Sulton, guitarist Jesse Gress, and veteran drummer Eddie Zyne (formerly of Foghat, Hall and Oates, and others). Rundgren has the ability to change setlists every night. His soulful voice soared as he rotated between guitar and keys throughout the night. Over the course of two hours, Rundgren and company dished up 21 tasty servings including "Lysistrata," "Inspiration," "I Saw the Light," "One World," "Cliché," "Too Far Gone," "Past," "Determination," and "Song of the Viking." “The Wheel”, performed too infrequently these days, was included in one of two encores. In between, we heard a bit of political banter mixed with a song to the ladies and a couple of country covers, one of which was Lorne Greene’s “Endless Prairie.” Rundgren’s main digs are in Kauai, Hawaii these days, but last night he proved again why Northeast Ohio is his home away from home.” Thank you Jon Babcock for bringing these recordings to us!~ Warren |

Set is strikingly similiar to the March 12th City Winery New York show. Rumor has it, at this point, that Todd's knees just ain't what they used to be (from all those leaps & bounds for 40+ years) and he limits himself to the bar stool thru-out these recent appearances. Rightfully so. The best out of the Agora recordings by far! Thank you Jon babcock for getting us this one too!~ Warren. |

Note:This was an exceptional performance by Todd & Ethel, videoed by 'Pete C.' We dubbed the audio from it. And turns out pretty damn good actually. It’s short so there’s was probably more to the performance than what we have here. A couple of tracks have milliseconds missing at the opening of the tunes and a couple or three distortion spots but surprisingly good stereo separation and fidelity. Very worthy of listening to on a CD! A quintessential fusion of string and rock arrangements. Ethel was in dynamic form and Todd came out rockin’. You'll be very impressed by the combined musicianship of these professionals. It turns out that The venue was originally scheduled for the Zeiterion Theatre, but was later changed to a disclosed location on an estate owned by Dan Harple. This allowed for an unusual and intimate experience under the treetops and more importantly, under the huge RA pyramid 'prop from Todd's 1977 Utopia days. There is nothing like this 'one off' in the middle of a field with Todd and Ethel true to form. Seems Todd was gracious enough to meet and greet after the performance amongst this the small audience. This one is lot's of fun and a real 'keeper'. ESSENTIAL ~ Warren |

Note:Flawless audio from the TRradio Webcast on 11/11/2012. Brought to us recorded by Istvan. Thank you my friend! Here's an wonderful review by Anthony McCarrigle: "Some say that it's never as good second time around! I beg to differ. At least on the evidence of Todd Rundgren and the Metropole Orchestra Part 2 I most certainly differ! My weekend began on Friday flying in to Amsterdam around lunchtime and going through the 'Quid Pro Quo' of the Amsterdam shopping expedition as negotiated with my good wife. Saturday evening began with a pretty tasty Surf & Turf in an Argentinean Restaurant before we made our way to the fan gathering at De Doffer. Was great to encounter some old friends and to make some new ones at the gathering. I unfortunately left before TR arrived but as I had run in to him at the hotel earlier and had a short chat I wasn't too put out. Thanks to Jill Mingo and others from arranging a wonderful curtain raiser for the main event! On to Sunday and the anticipation was rising as the evening approached. The one drawback about having the gig in Amsterdam is that the Dutch are probably the tallest race in Western Europe and when you are somewhat vertically challenged like me it is probably a good idea to get in early to secure a vantage point. Luckily my good friend Robznl had secured a raised position which afforded us a pretty decent view over the heads of the towering audience. The concert began a little behind schedule but not long after 8.30pm the orchestra were seated and began 'Mary and the Holy Ghost' while Todd appeared on the balcony resplendent in a bright red tux, using a megaphone! A pretty unexpected beginning and if that was surprising then what came next was pretty sensational. I could scarcely believe my ears as the brass section of the orchestra launched in to the opening riff of 'Another Life'. Wonderfully orchestrated and benefitting from the inclusion of three backing singers this was a supreme performance by artists at the top of their game. Todd was in brilliant voice and launched immediately in to 'Hello It's Me' which was a repeat of last years performance but possibly better with the addition of the backing singers. 'Pretending To Care' followed again performed impeccably before the orchestra rocked out with 'Property'. Next up was our 'world premiere' of 'Frogs'. Todd explained the origin of the song and how it had been commissioned but never used by the Bath Festival. The song obviously lends itself to orchestration and was performed (almost) flawlessly, Todd missing a lyric or two! As you may gather things were going rather well and things stayed at that level when the familiar strains of 'Second Wind' drifted across the room. Again the arrangement was top notch, the paying impeccable and Todd's voice in tip-top shape. And again the backing vocals added so much to this performance. I'm not sure why we needed an intermission at this point. Maybe it was something to do with the radio scheduling but a break we had and when the Metropole reappeared Todd took to the stage with guitar in hand to perform 'Flamingo'. Next up were perhaps my favourite songs of the evening. Both from 'Up Against It' TR first performed 'If I Have To Be Alone'. Once again Tom Trapp's arrangement is first class. The string section driving the song along beneath a sublime Todd vocal. The promised duet 'Love In Disguise' followed with Matilde Santing taking the female lead and doing a damned fine job of it while TR nailed the male lead and both were superbly supported by the other male and female backing singers. Truly sublime. Back to more familiar territory with 'Wailing Wall' featuring a fine horn solo before the pace was cranked up with a wonderful 'Love Science'. A Special word for the rhythm and percussion section on this one. They were absolutely incredible and really got everyone in the audience rocking. We had a reprise of Mammon/Fascist Christ from last year keeping the hall rocking, the latter featuring some searing guitar work from TR. Todd kept the guitar on for a singalong 'I Saw The Light' before ending with a truly wonderful 'Fade Away'. Once again a song which lends itself to orchestration and wonderfully performed by composer, backing singers and orchestra. Worth the trip alone I think! This was the last number of the evening but of course there would be encores. First up was another attempt at 'Frogs' which TR acknowledged he had goofed up on the first time around. This time was pretty similar but as TR said "At least we goofed up in different places!!" The last three tunes we had heard last year but that didn't diminish the impact or the enjoyment. 'Bag Lady' featured a beautiful trombone solo, 'We Got To Get You A Woman' really lends itself to the big band/orchestra genre and the closer 'Can We Still Be Friends' had everyone singing along carried along on a euphoric wave of sheer joy! Special word again for the Backing vocals on this one which again took the arrangement to another level. ! Presentations made the principals left the stage but the crowd were going nowhere. The applause and cheering continued for several minutes, maybe 10! The orchestra didn't know whether to stay or go and it looked for a while like we may get them back again. Alas it was not to be and we had to settle for what had gone before but I don't think a single person went home disappointed. This gig goes straight in to my Top 5 of all time and at this point I'm struggling to think of one that beats it! It was THAT good! An honour and a privilege to be there. Thanks to all who shared the experience with me, Robznl and Margo, Bev and Geoff, Dee and of course my own spouse who enjoyed the show and brought home several bags of shopping!!”~ Anthony McCarrigle |

This was an absolutely wonderful concert. The student ensembles were magnificent and the synergy between the students and Todd was a beautiful thing to behold. Congratulations on a terrific event! This is actually the audio grabbed from the audience video done by University students.... so it's 'Pro-grade' soundboard quality. Love the setlist. These students rock! Included was an incredible, first time ever performed, live rendition, of 'Chain Letter' (Ballad of Todd Rundgren 1971) too. Another real surprise is Todd & The Ensemble's performance of their own recent studio recording (Todd calls it a difinite 'Hit Single')- 'Why Is It When The Rain Falls'....Wow!~ Warren |

CROWD Note:We'll just share this review by Jay Petrarca as opposed to our critique.chuckle chuck: "I waited a week to write this review so as to give myself some time to calm down. I've been a Todd fan since 1980 and have gone to well over 60 shows. I love going to Todd Rundgren concerts. To me it doesn't matter what kind of music he plays I want to see him perform. I went into this performance blind. I didn't read the reviews or the setlists (I don't think any were posted). I knew from a Todd interview to expect lights and lots of dancing. I thought and hoped that he would open with Imagination. I thoroughly enjoyed that number. But after that I must admit I was somewhat disappointed and it has nothing to do with the music. My biggest disappointment was that he play for only an hour and 1/2. I drove well over two hours with two of my brothers and we all paid close to 80 bucks to see a 90 minute show. Now, I know Todd doesn't set the price, but 90 minutes? That's weak, IMHO. There's no reason he couldn't have added another 30 minutes. Also, he didn't play the guitar except for the first song. During the NWO tour he jammed on Secret Society, why not this time? He was just pushing buttons. And lastly, I wasn't thrilled with the encore. Maybe if I got two hours worth of music it wouldn't have been so bad. But the Donna Summer ending... I wish I had the chance to watch the PPV first. I would've saved 60 bucks and 7 hours of my time. I will be going to future Todd shows, but only if I get my money's worth." Superd audience recording however. Thank you Jon!~ Warren |

I grabbed the audio from the streaming live show… and If you like ‘State’, then you will love this…. and it is essential to you. The album performed live in its entirety, and flawlessly except for a false beginning to Truth. Jesse does the guitar work here…. and Prairie on the electronic drums and DJ Odd Todd on Vocals and Computer. The medleys done in a unique fashion between ‘With a Twist’, jazz and dance prog fusion. Nothing to Lose and Personality Crisis are particular surprises too. Certainly a show that is as meant to be seen as is to hear. Of course strictly a ‘dance’ presentation. And it will get you tapping your feet. Listed for collection listing purposes only. This is an Official/Professional Webcast Recording. And can be purchased/viewed though Nevessa Productions (until September 2013). Go buy it it! You won't be dissapointed. ESSSENTIAL. And the procedes go to Todd. |

Which I am. Istvan said, 'The club at the foot of the Ardennes is an intimate venue. The show started with the incredible lights and Imagination - way cool. From then on the set had me by the throat and gasping for air. Such sonic thundering and pacing was new to me.' I've read many reviews of the 'State' performances.

Note:Very good quality audience recording. Here's a review of the show from superfan Ben Rose.... who was in attendance (as well as the pre and after show gatherings), "His latest tour is the 'Official State Visit' showcasing songs from his latest release 'State' as well as tracks from his more electronic albums such as 'NOW' 'Liars' and '(Re)Production'. The maestro is supported by the exquisite Jesse Gress on guitar and Prairie Prince on an electronic drum kit. This show is Todd as you will have never seen him before. It represents another chapter in the continuing exploration of musical genres that the man has engaged in since the late 60's and whilst some might question the wisdom of a man who qualifies for his bus pass producing an album of electronica/dance music at this stage of his career it is a testament to him that he pulls it off and the songs translate so well to the live setting. This is certainly not my favourite genre and I travelled with a significant degree of skepticism but I left having thoroughly enjoyed the show. We made our way to the venue at around 7.30 and were pleasantly surprised to be able to walk up to a spot just one row back from the stage. Todd and the lads took to the stage at about 8.15pm and wearing his 'State' goggles launched in to 'Imagination'. It was clear already that he was in great voice and the sound was pretty impressive even if it wasn't immediately apparent as to what Prairie was adding to the mix. The setlist continued with 'Truth' and was the same as from previous shows. My personal highlights were 'Future' which featured some superb work from Jesse, 'Secret Society', 'Ping Me', 'Prime Time', 'Worldwide Epiphany' and 'Sir Reality'. Hell I even enjoyed 'Party Liquor'!!!! I will never like 'Angry Bird' and if that were replaced by 'In My Mouth' that would make things better in my opinion. I also didn't care much for the encores. It seemed a little bit of a pisstake to be honest and those classics while they make have survived a bossa nova makeover are certainly not suited to the dance/electronica one. Todd's voice throughout was in great shape and his energy levels amazing. I asked him later if he'd been working out and he said that he does "Every night at 8pm". There's probably a little too much pre-recorded stuff in the show but that's nit picking by me and Prairie could probably be used more. I don't really see the point of having pre-recorded AND live drums together.Being so close to the stage I didn't get the full effect of the lighting show but I hope to see that a little better at the London show next weekend. The evening was topped off wonderfully when Todd, Prairie and Jesse arrived at the aftershow party arranged by Jill Mingo and sat atour tables. All were extremely generous with their time and I spoke at length with Jesse Gress. All in all a superior evenings entertainment in pretty fine company! Thanks everyone who helped make the evening! You know who you are!!" |

COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. HELLO IT’S ME. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:This very good quality audience recording (now almost a year old) just in from my friend Steve ‘Mac’ in Australia. (recorded by a fan known only as ‘God’s Goofball’). Steve says, ’I was really impressed by this show in terms of energy and commitment and Todd is a consummate performer, he's great to watch as he really puts his all into his singing. Unfortunately, his voice was suffering when he tried to sing falsetto, as he said "I guess I left my falsetto back in the rehearsal room." But, this is still a really good show if one can deal with the occasional croaky vocals. I've heard lots worse live Todd, and as always, any band with Kasim, Jesse and Prairie as members is worth a listen. Sound is really good.’ And very good sound it is. Very much of a ‘soundboard’ quality to it. But you can tell a lot of work went into eliminating crowd noise and applause. If you’re like me, you like some of the crowd ambience and phonically, somehow that has been removed to too much of a degree I think. As Steve says, if you can get by the slight croaky vocals here and there, I feel it is one of Todd’s best performances that I have heard of what we now call the ‘Hits Show’. And that makes this one very much ‘collectable’. Nice to add it to the archives. A nice read from Adelaide Chronicles after the show: ‘Todd Rundgren kicked off in fine voice with a two-hour set at The Gov that acted as an abridged Rundgren Songbook. The show generously sampled a career of more than 40 years, which in pretend DJ mode he half-mockingly labeled “all the hits, all the time”. But hits they were, and delivered in pure power-pop fashion by a master of the art. Rundgren has left his mark in all sorts of musical places: as a solo artist, band leader and member (including The New Cars in 2006 and as featured guitarist in Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band); playing with live orchestral accompaniment; running university courses; and producing lots of work for other acts. In all of this he has also been a constant innovator in electronics, production techniques and live sound systems. On this night, though, the Wizard/True Star was in a relatively modest live show and working with the basics as part of a five-piece band. A little shakiness at the start of “Kindhearted Woman Blues” from Johnson, his album covering songs by the great Robert Johnson, was one of only a few signs of Rundgren’s voice having lost any strength. Range was occasionally an issue, as he self-deprecatingly commented later about aiming for a falsetto passage, and missing. What stood out, however, was how enduring his compositions are; richly textured So many tracks to mention: “Lucky Guy” (from Hermit of Mink Hollow) was a riveting irony-free zone of gratitude, which also happened to show a Rundgren trait, the effective use of hand gestures. “I like to get this out of the way,” he said, before launching into the much-loved “Can We Still Be Friends". The upbeat wired “Espresso (All Jacked Up)” was every danceable, Rundgren claiming it threatened cardiac arrest. This time, the ever-compelling “Hawking” sounded rather like “The Verb ‘To Love’”, just as moving but darker. Yes, there was also “It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference”, “Soul Brother” with a James Brown flourish, the samba-accented “I Want You”, “I Saw the Light”, and much more. Rundgren can conjure anthemic tunes but they are not merely empty posturing or gimmick. Each tends to address some real matter of feeling, helped on this occasion by Jesse Gress (an alter-Todd) on guitar and Prairie Prince (ex-Tubes) on drums. It was also a pleasure to see bassist Kasim Sulton, whose work with Rundgren dates back to 1976; somehow he looked as if he hasn’t aged. The performance closed with the lovely “A Dream Goes On Forever”, a fitting conclusion.’ |

EXCELLENT recording sound quality. This one is a particular collector's treasure trophy for me, not just for the excellent sound....but I've seen some video and photos from the show... and Todd and Band seem as youthful as ever... and not much where Todd just is seated. He's on his feet and rocking with 'Foamy' pretty much the entire show. Thank you 'BB'! ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

I understand that the Fan meet and greets were everything that I knew they would be. A super set now called by Todd’s Fandom as the ‘Hits Show’. Everything’s here including Todd’s usual humor between tunes. His voice is strong and clean and the band is perfect. And another incredible performance of "Hawking" which gets better (if that’s possible) every time I hear it. No song is weak here folks. I saw some great video of this event too. My friends tell me that there was an amazing vibe in the air and everyone had a great time including the band and Pat Travers Band was exceptional as well. Can’t thank Doug enough for always putting these together. This is ESSENTIAL audio historical record. Happy New Year everybody!~ Warren |

And as soundboards go; they are always excellent recordings of the Band...but you can barely hear an audience. It's kind of mysterious sounding. But that's OK. This of course, is what we 'coined' as a 'Hits Show'. Which Todd was touring at this portion of the year 2013. It's New Years Eve, and Todd is really feeling the Champagne here, but his performances are spot on. As you know, Pat Travers is on the bill too (His Set is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N96HlBVSx3c ), and here he 'guests' on Mystified & Broke Down & Busted. All in all, this is a knock out recording. I love the selection of Tunes Rundgren - Guitar, Vocals Jesse Gress - Guitar, Background Vocals Kasim Sulton - Bass, Background Vocals John Ferenzik - Keyboards Gregg Bendian - Drums And I don't think Al would mind if I shared his TRC Review (Al Cannon): " I decided to drive down to Orlando from NC for this show. It wasn't as easy as my usual method (flying), but I had time for stops in SC and GA, so I figured why not. We got to Florida and met up with my good friend Keith Kaufman. We headed for the party on 12/30 and had a blast meeting Kasim Sulton and friends, plus making new friends. On 12/31 came part two. We got to BB Kings and found a great place to stand on the floor. The show began and Pat Travers exploded into some great tunes including "Boom Boom Out Go The Lights" and "Statesboro Blues". I had not seen Pat since 1987 so it was great to see him again. Now we get to Todd. After a short intermission, the show started as did the hits. The show turned out to be a "Best of" event similar to what we had seen on the "Unpredictable Tour" (with a few adjustments). I won't get into analyzing the set list here, but I can say that Todd's voice was strong and clean and the band was perfect. I heard someone say that "Hawking" was the best version he'd ever heard and I can agree (with the possible exception of the night I heard it on the "A Capella Tour" in 1985). Every song was strong. There was an amazing vibe in the air and everyone had a great time including the band. Todd really seemed to enjoying himself. Thanks again to Doug Ford (the promoter) for a wonderful evening. Putting shows together is not easy and (as always) he along with Cruiser Mel did a great job. So we'll see you in September, "Cause There's Always More."~ Warren *Addition 2018-10-06 Pat Travers Set:Magnificent recording by my Buddy Jon Babcock. I did some equalizing, brought out Travers' Vocals and upped the Bass. This sounds like a Soundboard, so it's a nice accent to the above actual Soundboard of Todd's portion from the RundgrenRadio New Years Eve Extravaganza down in Orlando FL.~ Warren Pat Travers: Guitar & Vocals Kirk McKim: Guitar Rodney O'Quinn: Bass Sandy Gennaro: Drums |

And what a pleasant surprise. This recording is prestene...very close to Soundboard quality. A delightful performace too.Thank you for your magic Marc! Maryland Super Fan Bill Hoyt had this to say, "One of the best things about this show was that Todd was enjoying himself. Great audience banter, and the miscues were all part of the fun. Not that miscues matter all that much, when Todd, Jesse, Kasim and Prairie are all pretty much joined at the hip having logged countless performance hours together. A highlight of the show came when John Ferenzik was invited onstage to back the band with some blues and some response playing to Todd's "scatting." It's always cool to see someone with an accomplished musical ear be able to replicate voiced notes, as John did for Todd on the piano. Very fun. I won't go into great lengths about the set list, in keeping with Todd's desire to keep things ‘unpredictable’, but he did sit at the piano for some songs, and that is always rewarding for me. I've always enjoyed it when Todd performs others' music, as he is always acknowledging his influences and interests, and it's clear that performing this way fulfills him also. So, at the end of the show when the gentleman at the table seated next to me said "He didn't play 'Hello It's Me'", I said, "Don't be surprised." Straying outside the known is always good for Todd and for his fans also. This was a great, fun show. Can we get an "Amen" for unpredictability?" The show was recorded by Marc using Sonic Studio Mics and a Sony DAT. He digitally mastered and then tracks were cut on a PC and burned to CD. I ripped it to flac and then here you have it! ~ Warren |

Note:The second show that we have from 2014. Probably my favorite 'Unpredictable' 2014 set list, for you can really tell Todd is very relaxed and enjoying this Niagara Falls Show. And it’s a ‘Friday’! A decent audience recording by 'Richard Binko'. But the levels are all over the place and take much EQing to get distortion out. Apparently ‘Binko’ records a gazillion artists shows for torrent sharing on Traders Den. The only problem being with that is, he may not be a huge Todd fanatic like you and I. And the people apparently with him as well. Of all songs for the people sitting next to him to yap through is ‘Cliché’. Some girl talks through the whole tune. But Todd has fun with the ‘Native American’ locals. And teases them with ‘Running Bear’. The what I call ‘cheesy’ tunes are turned into wonderful pieces! Having said all that, this is an incredibly awesome performance. Local Todd Fan Kevin Scull had this to say, "A full house of about 500 packed the Bear's Den at the Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls. Todd and his usual band mates were in fine form. The band was relaxed and Todd played a seated set on bar stool and piano bench. It is always a pleasure to see such a professional performer who makes you so glad you went and supported his effort. He also shared an interesting story about attending an after the Grammy Awards party, courtesy of Daft Punk, with Michelle and Rebop. The fantastic One World finale had everyone wanting one more song. That's what makes me look forward to yet one more show." I EQ'd my copy out and burned to disc and it make for a very enjoyable addicting listen for rides in my car. It’s very much a keeper. ~ Warren |

So I won’t give a review of this show, or go on about his humorous banter between songs…’cause to me, Todd can do no wrong. The performance I thought was stellar. As is this recording by buddy Allen Law (aka: Atlanta Music Archives). It's almost soundboard quality. Yet, we have keep in mind that the first three tunes there were problems with the monitor guy. Jesse’s licks are at too low a volume and Todd didn’t like the mic monitor volume in front of him. It’s all corrected by the ‘Running Bear’ tune. So this audience recording was INCREDIBLE grab. I will say this (for I was allowed to be at a number of locations in the theatre); everybody that I was next to was awed by Todd's incredible vocals.

Note:Here's another Southeastern US 'An Unpredictable Evening' audience recording from our ever faithful 'Moz'. This one sounds like he may have been a little more further from the main stage. But still a stellar grab! Thank you Mike! As far as the performance goes, here's a review from local superfan Wayne Reu: “The Unpredictable show at the Carolina Theatre was a top shelf performance by the band of bad ass boys driving their bad ass toys of percussion, guitars, piano, and an i-pad. For some, the show catered to the faithful, to others it was an initiation. To all, this Monday night show was a great way to kick start the week and saved us from a monotony of usual routines. Aside from some of the predictable material, a really nice change of pace was the cover songs that were played. Most of the covers were of the AM radio hits variety of way back when (50's, 60s). Those of us who lived through Pre FM radio will recognize them and most likely relish those memories. Others who did not were probably left wondering what happened. It was comical to listen about the experience of the Daft Punk grammy party with Todd and guests having to be pushed from one table to the next a couple of times because the tables happen to be reserved for someone else. Then Todd also shared a moment or two of satire with the audience in regards to his interaction with Paul McCartney being at this party which in my opinion was probably dead on the mark and confirmed my suspicions of Sir Paul. This band Jesse Gress, Todd Rundgren, Kasim Sulton, and Prairie Prince never disappoints. Always a treat to see and hear them play. Top grade. The very most of professionals.”~ Warren |

We have to appreciate him so much. Thank you Mike! All his stuff is always very good and ESSENTIAL.Very much worth the download and very much worthy of the CD 'burneth'! Local Super Fan John Branning (John attended the Greenville Show too) had this review of the show: "Todd's voice was in excellent shape, with high and clear falsettos’ evident right from the start. Kasim smiled more, and bantered with Todd. Jesse and Prairie were there usual impeccable selves. Even the non-super fan that attended will have left knowing that these are the epitome of professional musicians. Talent spills from every pore. Such an ‘unplugged’ look with the stools of course. But Jesse doesn’t stay seated long. And Prairie is standing with full set in front of him (including bongos). But much of the tunes are very much ‘plugged in'. Todd rocks when he wants too. The Neighborhood Theater was a more bar-like setting with a mix of reserved seats and general admission. The crowd was also more animated, but not obnoxiously so. Todd offered more in the way of political commentary, particularly stressing his fondness for NC and saying he had many friends in the state. ‘I know you all aren't happy about what's happening here’, alluding to state-wide GOP control and a coal ash environmental mess that's been in the news. The crowd cheered his comments; no dissent in the house that night…they even loved the ‘cheesy’ songs…for Todd Rundgren will tickle your funny bone. And spellbind you with his vocals, guitar and piano prowess.” |

FIRE. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN.HELLO IT'S ME.PAST.IN THE YEAR 2525.ONE WORLD. Note:After I rolled off the bass a little on this one, I think this is one of the better audience recordings so far of the 'Unpredictable' 2014. All the vocals and instruments and everything is right there up front. I know I keep using the term 'soundboardish', but that's what this one is. Todd squeezes in 'Soul Brother' here too, which I haven’t heard year to date. And thank you my buddy Mike 'Moz'! This guy deserves a fuggin' medal for all his recent recordings ya'll! As far as the performance goes, there are some 'hiccups', and I'll let you read local super fan John Branning's review below: "The Greenville crowd was the rowdiest of the shows we saw. Only about 175 reserved seats and a larger standing-room crowd in the venue, which combined with the bar in the back, made for a noisy evening. Another strong performance although Todd's voice was just a bit rougher than its perfection the night before in Charlotte. Lorne Greene didn't make it into tonight's show (fortunately), but ‘Soul Brother’ did. A few minor snafus during the show -- Todd broke a string during Black & White; screwed up the lyrics to ‘Too Far Gone’, and knocked his iPad off its stand. Of course he recovered quickly and with good humor, all part of the charm. But Todd’s commentary was kept to a minimum -- no real banter or stories, other than the Daft Punk/Grammy anecdote, which he seemed to rush through a bit this time. Perhaps the crew was anxious to wrap up and get on their way to Ft. Lauderdale? And you'll hear Todd say that they were minus a guitar roadie...and that George (the sound mix technician) was working both the sound board & the lights. Like Atlanta, he really doesn't get the monitors just right until mid way thru Lysistrata. But still a very solid show, made all the more enjoyable by being back at the Handlebar and in Greenville, as well as bringing a good friend of ours along for her very first Todd show and she walked out a convert.” |

Another one seemingly recorded from a good distance from the stage though (‘mics split 2 feet on loge ledge lip aimed at right stack’?). Mr. Railing went to great lengths to split the ‘chatter’ as separate tracks. As always with Ringo’s All Starrs, year after year, tour after tour and night after night the Artists’ performances are all very tight and professional. Has anybody ever given a bad review? Of course all of us here are all about our man Todd and his music. And he can do no wrong. But he really accents each and every tune with his musicianship and vocals. Todd sounds very upbeat and happy here. All these guys could’ve gotten by merely by playing the nostalgia card. Instead, this smoking band assembled to give us so much more. Same line - up: Ringo, Todd, Gregg Rolie, Gregg Bissonette, Steve Lukather, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Mark Riviera. However, Little Steven and Billy Squire 'guest' on last two tunes. |

Note:Seems there was a rain delay for an hour before this show kicked off, so I surprised the taper was still persistent to grab this one. But a very good Audience (for an outdoor ‘park’ Buffalo New York event!). Thank you 'JPeace'. Just two days before Todd’s Birthday. It’s hard do a review of any part of one of Ringo’s shows…even if it is Todd. Whether you like ‘em or not, ALL of Ringo’s All- Starr shows are the true essence of professionalism…for 13 Tours. Bless Todd’s heart for performing ‘Bang On The Drum’ night after night for all the years that he has participated in Ringo’s shows. He performs them freshly here. And it's always wonderful to hear the accents that he adds to the other musicians' tunes (guitar & especially vocals). This recording is a keeper. There…I said it. ~ Warren The Buffalo News wrote: “The first of the All-Starr Band spotlights went to Rundgren, who dutifully delivered a rather crushing version of ‘I Saw the Light,’ replete with harmony guitar solo interplay between himself and Lukather. Rundgren then passed the baton to Rolie, who ran with it to Santana’s ‘Evil Ways.’ Not that everyone else wasn’t bringing their A-game as well. Rundgren gave us the closest thing to a Beatles-level anthem in the form of his transcendent ‘Love Is the Answer,’ which should’ve raised the gooseflesh on anyone in attendance with a heartbeat; Page, of Mr. Mister fame, sang beautifully on the arena-pop hit ‘Kyrie’ and his new ‘You Are Mine,’ which found him being joined by Rundgren in stirring two-part vocal harmony; and Lukather led the band through Toto’s ‘Rosanna’ and ‘Africa’ in what proved to be the most surreal moments of the evening.” |

The finished product, to my ears, sounds boxy/bassy and ‘monoish’. We’re so very grateful to these fans for capturing ‘historic record’. But this one is just not good. The performances are great and the Chicago crowd is very much into it. I still contend that 6/24/14 Artspark is probably the better audience recording out of these summer Ringo shows. |

It's marvelous. Marc says, 'Recorded from the center, at my favorite area of club'. Here's a neat review by 'TRRenaissance': “Todd did Black and White (my big wish for the night so I could have gone home happy after the third song), Cliché, a jazzy version of Born to Synthesize, and a stunning encore that included Too Far Gone, another Greatest Hit that I can't remember, and ended with a mega-anthemic One World. I also appreciated hearing It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference; the last two years he did it Twist style but this time it was right off of S/A. The thing that made this concert so enjoyable was that TR was relaxed and in good spirits, engaging with the audience the whole night. He spent the entire night sitting down, either on a stool with his guitar or at the piano. In fact, this concert could well have been called An Evening With Todd Rundgren, because it felt like a low-key party at a guy's house rather than A Concert. He consulted the set list after almost every song and seemed to be taking the concert in different directions on the fly. You want Unpredictable? How about Muskrat Love, by the Captain and the Toenail (in TR's words). It worked, dang it. Now that's Unpredictable. Yes, there were some downsides. The guys needed more rehearsal, and there were a few false starts. Hey, it's live performance! I, like most all of you, could have done with fewer ironic covers. Do Endless Prairie but not I'm a Gun, especially not the monologue after the latter (oh how I wish TR would have followed that last one with his own Gun). Spike Patches, but I must admit Running Bear had some spirit. But you know what? TR made these covers work. He emphasized the humor in them, and we trust him so much that we went with it. He wanted us to hear something different, and we did. After 45 years of music making, hasn't he earned the benefit of the doubt?” BTW, Linage: Sonic Studio mics>DAT>Digital Transfer to CD-R>Extracted cd onto PC to cut tracks then remastered to CD's>to Warren |

Note:I've been recieving various audience recordings from the April 'leg' of Todd's 'Global Tour from Fans around the Northeastern US. Lots of fairly good stuff. Some are excellent. None of the contributors really had a complete set, so I thought I'd do a compilation of some of the better recordings. I apologize in advance that the audience applause (at the begining and end of each tune) is a kind of a 'fade in' and 'fade out' kind of approach. But still makes for a very good listen and very disc 'burn-able'. This 'Global' Show/Tour is a marvelous performance. I'm not a good 'reviewer'type of guy, so I won't go there. But Todd's excellent new CD (GLOBAL) is so 'addictive', and this 2015 'Extravaganza' is an ESSENTIAL ticket for any Todd Rundgren Fan!

Like a soundboard. The onliest thing is, that the woman sitting very near or next to our recorder is blabbing through the entire show. And that’s a shame too, that someone would attend a Todd Rundgren show and chat through the entire event. We can assume that they are not a fan of any sorts. But the energy of the show is marvelous, and Todd’s vocals are as brilliant as ever. Our two ‘Global Nation’ girls are incredible vocalists, dancers and they’re beautiful. Dam Funk does a great job and treats us with the first song. And it’s a real treasure for Todd to crank up his guitar for several songs. He is drilling it here. Scorching guitar for the opener ‘Evrybody’, then ‘Secret Society’, ‘Worldwide Epiphany’, ‘International Feel’ and ‘Just One Victory’! This is ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Well worth the ticket price (FREE…chuckle chuck). Todd’s voice sounded a little tired in some spots, but very few. For the most part he nailed it. He even did some choreographed dance parts with the absolutely lovely ‘Global Girls’. And once again, a lot of guitar. Scorching guitar pieces. ‘Tech/dance numbers’, ‘soul numbers’ and ‘Rock numbers’ all rolled into one… with and incredible light show and effects. And Dam Funk as master of ceremonies (his solo opening number is marvelous). The show really does justice in support of the new GLOBAL album. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Another very good audience recording. I rolled down the bass a little bit on mine…straight burn to two discs and it was ready for my listening pleasure on my home theatre and in the car. 14th show of the tour and they were ‘nailing’ this set like clockwork. Thoughts by Kevin Scull on TRC: "Todd played at the Town Ballroom to a full house at a historic site in the heart of the theatre district. The set list was similar to others mentioned in other postings. The show was high energy all night and Todd as usual gave everyone their money's worth with a two hour performance. The dance fever format was another interesting twist on the road to utopia. The lighting and visuals with the show were superb. I find it refreshing to see a performer who is a lifelong artist and not just recycling the greatest hits package. The last five concerts I have seen have all been different and certainly reflect the full range of the man's talents and interests. Even taking old standards and remixing them in other formats is a welcomed change. Truth, Today, World Wide Epiphany, Party Liquor and Secret Society were well suited to this performance. Songs from Global were good and I look forward to hearing them again. Todd ended with the encore International Feel (but there's always more) Just One victory (underneath it all we are here together shining still). Fitting closing thoughts for the Wizard."

This is better than the audio for the Professional Yahoo LiveNation Web Stream! I’m kind of ‘speechless’ about the WHOLE THING. So here’s a review by Kristen Hilliard:” Wow! Poweee! HOO! This is a fantastic show, in every way. What a Gift! The light show, the music, the dancing girls, Dam Funk…TODD! I absolutely love this show. Todd is pacing and connecting with the audience. Divine! The dancing girls are gorgeous, and what fantastic choreography and adorable costumes. Kudos to the Choreographer (Michelle????!!!!! Great job). Wake up people! Listen to the Master! We've got One World! It is time to hear the Truth! Planet Earth is crying for our help, we need a World Wide Epiphany!!!! Open your hearts and minds and send that loving and healing energy from your heart. Together we can change the world! I dig the Techno-Medley of Can we/hello it's/I saw the.... Todd nailed this show, and the girls were on fire. Maybe a little more Dam Funk to get us raving! The concert is like a Rave so get ready to dance away the old world and dance in the no world order. I wish to live in this world all the time. So glad my first show of the tour had some space for dancing, because this music makes my feet feel happy and free. Thank-you Mr. Rundgren for more wonderful and amazing music.” Dittos Kristen! And THANK YOU SCOTT MEDEIROS!

I copy Jon Branning's review from the TRConnection below. ESSENTIAL X10!~ Warren Lineage: Church Audio CA-14c > SP-SPSB-11 (bass rolloff @69Hz) > Sony PCM-M10 (48/24, Line In) > Adobe Audition (Editing) > Har-Bal (EQ) > iZotope RX2 (Downsample) > CD Wave (Split tracks) > TLH (Fix SBEs) Review by John Branning: ”The show at the Flying Monkey was among the best TR concerts I've seen over the years. Once you accepted the format -- DJ, minimal live instrumentation (besides the synth and brief smattering of guitar), lights and video -- the evening progressed flawlessly and the flow was energetic from start to finish. Todd was in excellent voice (much better than he sounded on the brief bit of the Yahoo livestream) and came across with great vibrancy and devotion to the material. The "Global" tracks were all well-presented and enthusiastically received; more folks seemed familiar with the new material than some of the other reviews indicated for those audiences. The tracks from "Liars" and "State" nicely dovetailed with the EDM approach, and even the greatest hits medley was brisk and Todd seemed invested in those brief performances. On our way in we chatted with a local; he "loved" Todd but his all-time favorite was the Rolling Stones. Well, let's see -- when's the last time they put out a new album... or played a show consisting of nearly all-new material. While it was definitely an older crowd at the show, I didn't see anyone with fingers in their ears or walking out during the show. Instead, there was tremendous love directed at Our Hero and if it had been an open floor there would have been a lot of dancing going on! Very little chatter from Todd during the show but he left the stage with a big smile on his face, almost as big as ours! A really nice venue -- a converted movie theater, so comfortable seating on the floor and the "VIP" set up puts you at either elevated tables or up on the balcony, advertised as the "best seats in the house" and including dinner from a limited but tasty menu.” |

INTERNATIONAL FEEL /JUST ONE VICTORY(INCOMPLETE?).JUST ONE VICTORY (COMPLETE) Note:Very good audience DAT recording from Marc L.’s friend Barry B. Marc sent me these discs directly after the recording. I've never been to the Birchmere... but all the audience recordings sound like it may be a smaller/more intimate venue. I've never heard a bad one. And this no exception. However, I've heard nothing but bad things from Fans that attended. They say that the forced layout of the stage, due to space limitations, was awkward. No place to be up close and 'boogie', as one put it. I also was told, that even though it was a sell out, that many left early (as in during the 'Hits Medley" (Can we Still Be Friends/I Saw The Light & Hello It's Me). If you listen to these versions of the show, you can hear the subdued audience. But I enjoy this recording. Thank you Marc and Barry! ~Warren Superfan CeMeGo put it precisely (in the TRConnection Reviews): “The Birchmere music hall was the ABSOLUTE WORST CHOICE for this type of show. It was laid out like a comedy club with tables and chairs and dinners. This is not the environment for this particular edition of a Todd show. Did anyone at the Birchmere listen to the new album at all?! The whole concert seemed awkward and it made me uncomfortable, not because of the music Todd was PERFORMING but the fact that the venue seemed really uptight. This show would have been much better with everyone standing and no chairs, allowing the freedom to dance around which is what the DJ and Todd kind of wanted the people to do as the music dictates this. The DC metro area is a very emotionless uptight paranoid town, so getting people out of chairs to dance is not something that is easy, ESPECIALLY in a sold out show. If you are going to perform music like this live, you should perform it in a venue that allows for that kind of energy. Seeing this stuff live at the Birchmere was like watching Todd perform this stuff in a church service. It was very inappropriate. I noticed a lot of the people didn't even make it half way through the show. That also made it awkward. There were a lot of early "leavers". I hung in there because... well... I've been listening to this man my whole life. I can't walk away. ..But, I saw more people get up and leave during the EDM remake of the Todd classics. (To be honest, that was a really bad move. Todd would do better to kill this and put more from State or Liars on this tour). So, advice to people who are going to upcoming Global shows, make sure you are paying for a ticket in a place that has room to shake your booty and you are prepared to do so. If you are going to this show and they have tables, chairs and menus out, be prepared to be uncomfortable and feel awkward. I don't know who planned this tour and picked the venues but they couldn't have been more out of sorts. And if you are going to see people play musical instruments, this is NOT the Todd show for you.” |

INTERNATIONAL FEEL /JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:This is a superb audience recording from ‘Moz’. This Show was distinctive to me… I've heard and seen portions of most of this Tour thus far, and the Atlanta performance is exceptionally the best thus far (IMO of course). I know...sure Warren...you're partial. Is it my imagination? Or does anybody (Atlantans or otherwise) agree? Not because I am THE consummate ‘die hard’. I was at the very front of the stage (to the left) standing and my jaw was a gape. And I'm not even wildly excited about this synthesized techno 'dance' thing. Warren don't dance. But this show....THIS Show is one of the best Todd performances, productions, support cast and stage & lighting that I've seen in a very long time. I'm thunderstruck...I have no words for Todd's extraordinary vocals. And you want some blistering guitar? It’s here. The weird fast tempo ‘hits’ medley (‘Can We Still Be Friends’/’I Saw the Light’ & ‘Hello It’s Me’), I can live without (and it seems everybody else can too). Reviews that I read, about this Tour; the Critics and Fans either hate the Tour or love it. No middle ground. Me? I don’t love the Tour or the Album…I like them…but I don’t love them. But I loved this performance. Todd gets pissed here at a couple a folks at the beginning of 'One World' for having their video camera lights on. Rightfully so, I mean...they had lights on that were literally lighting up the whole front area. You'll hear him yell at them to 'turn them off' here. But over all tremendous. Thanks again Moz!

It is one excellent recording. One of the Japanese boot sites list this (translated): "XAVEL - It is a label, the original high-quality superb sound quality board which has been subjected to 24bit Digital remastering to master.” What that means , I do not know. But another site lists it as a audience recording. It sounds like a soundboard. I've seen some short video segments of the show on YouTube and it's odd seeing this GLOBAL set in broad daylight. Without the Matrix backset. But it appears that the Japanese Fans loved it! Due to a abbreviated Festival set, usual Global Tour songs not performed were: Secret Society, Ping Me, Skyscraper, Blind, Smoke, Holyland, Terra Firma, Today, Future & Can We Still Be Friends/I Saw The Light/Hello It's Me.

We only tweaked it a little bit 'cause it's a pretty nice capture as is. I burned mine to CD and it sounds pretty damn good. Kind of a lack luster 'I Want You', 'Hello It's M'e and 'Love Is The Answer'. But 'Open My Eyes' is particularly good.

And as always, Roger’s Video captures always have great audio. We did crop each tune so they would run seamlessly together as in no apparent interruption. This listen is very much fun. I could not make it to Akron to this RundgrenRadio presentation due to finances. So I couldn’t be more appreciative to Roger for ‘putting me at the concerts’ with this excellent film (Both nights in their entirety!) BTW, first time ‘Hideaway’ performed live. I won't review the show, but from what I see and hear; Todd, Symphony and all supporting Players (and to all involved) DELIVERED. After all these decades, I still cannot get over his incredible vocals here. Here are three short reviews though: "As a lifelong Todd fan, I was truly amazed at this symphony performance! Todd's voice was strong and the set list took advantage of the orchestra. His music is perfect for the inclusion of the orchestra - full, rich, and textured.", (2013 Ticketmaster review by JOELROX) " Todd and the Akron Symphony delivered! The playlist offered something old....and something new...all sweet music..... and lyrics to our ears. Well done, maestro!! " (2015 Ticketmaster review by LLCL) " In short, a wonderfully unique and creative performance that was all that it promised and much more . . . I have been to about 100 concerts since the '70s and I’ve never seen a show like this." (2015 Ticketmaster review by GlennTV). |

He says to me, “My recordings are always seem to be an 'alternate version’. So this can be your 'alternate version.’” But that is not so! I wasn't prepared for much, because he had played it down so much. But when he gave it to me, and I listened to it, I was aghast. For this is THE version to have. It is ESSENTIAL. It is wonderful. Truly THE recordings of two magnificent nights to add to one’s collection! Except for the fact that ‘Hello It’s Me’ (and that’s OK with me. For sure) cuts out and we’re missing the beginning of ‘Second Wind’ ; this sounds professionally done. And we get all of the between song stuff. It's all as close to soundboard as you can get for an audience recording.~ Warren As far as the actual artist's performances go, please read the few short reviews in my entries of Roger Steel’s audio. |

Even his trax notes & accompanying artwork/photos are thorough. This probably the best quality of all these 2015 Ringo & His All Starrs audience recordings. Most, if not all, are large venue acoustics, or sound like they are recorded quite a good distance from the stage. But this one is as close to a soundboard tape as you can get. And of course Todd is very prominent in his participation in Ringo’s 2015 Tour. And he shines here not only in his only three songs, but you can hear his vocals and guitar prowess throughout. Of course we’re ‘partial’ to Todd here, but other than Steve Lukather, Todd is one of the most sonically evident of the ‘support artists’ for Ringo during throughout this show (and all of them for that matter). I couldn’t find any reviews on-line whatsoever or I share one here for just what I’m talking about. If you love Ringo’s shows, you will absolutely have to have this one. All of the musicians are so very polished and pro. It is very difficult even to find a flaw in this one.

Todd really shines here (when does he not?) the crowd loves it. ‘I Saw The Light’ done just like I think it’s supposed to be done. ‘Bang on The Drum’ and no ‘Bang on the Ukelele’.

Tight music and very much great listening pleasure. What treasure to get this performance from Todd’s Home Town. ESSENTIAL.~ Warren But the one to hold dear to my heart would be the Grand Theater at Foxwoods Mashantucket CT show on 10/24/15 Review by Victoria Sainte-Claire (TRC) wrote this about the third show of the tour (10/3/15), and think it fitting for a review of all of these Ringo & All Starrs Dates: ” Todd and Ringo are very funny together. Though Ringo is clearly the authority figure. Their first altercation came in the introduction when Todd was going on about something at the same time Ringo was talking about it which earned an "I'm TALKING, Toddy!" from Ringo in a very parental tone. (Todd claps his hand over his mouth like OMG I interrupted Ringo! I'm dead!). We all cracked up. All of the musicians were terrific. Todd did "I Saw the Light" (my favorite song, as to me it is about the transformative power of Love), and "Bang the Drum" which everyone knows by now and got people jumping around. Later on Todd performed a beautiful version of "Love is the Answer" which also resonated with Ringo's "Peace & Love" vibe. Todd contributed stunning background vocals and harmonies (and possibly arranged them) on all the other songs, and of course, great guitar. I think he also contributes to the action on the stage as most of the band don't move around very much—though he got some competition from Warren Ham on sax when he got going and Lukather on guitar in some places. There were some Santana songs — only the best of course—due to Greg Rolie being there and quite a few Beatles songs, spanning from their very early days in the 60s to the White Album and through Ringo's solo work. Ringo looks amazing for his age and has a very calm persona. He wore a red long-tailed Teddy Boy jacket for half the show and then a dark green very slightly glittery one. The backdrop was blue and peaceful with a moon and of course, stars, and matched the blue logo on the drum kit. There were two video screens which were unfortunately not widescreen so you could only see one player at a time. There were lights on us as well, almost like house lights between some numbers, and then spotlights because Ringo wanted to see everybody, which kind of made a party out of it. And he told us we all looked beautiful in the light. It was a really nice thing to say. From where I was , the sound was incredible. The finale was a short two-line chant of "Give Peace a Chance" from everybody and Ringo's special guests such as Edgar winter who just happened to be around; and there were lots of singalongs on tunes like "A Little Help from my Friends," "Octopus' Garden" and "Act Naturally" (hey, Ringo ASKED us to sing)! Everybody was blissed out afterwards. What a wonderful night, thank you, Mr. Starkey, for coming to my home town! Thank you for having Todd in your band! Come back soon.” The Band: Ringo Starr - drums, vocals Steve Lukather - guitar, vocals Gregg Rolie - keyboards, vocals Todd Rundgren - guitar, vocals Richard Page - guitar, bass, vocals Warren Ham - sax, keys, percussion, vocals Gregg Bissonette - drums source : schoeps mk-4v > actives > nbox platinum > sony pcm-m10 > 24/44.1 wav adobe audition 7 > ozone 5 > sample manager > xACT 2.34 > flac 16 |

And some of the recent fan videos are quite good (audio-wise) that have been shared on-line. In particular, a few vids of 2015-12-19 Gramercy Theatre NY and 2015-12-23 Whitaker Center Harrisburg PA. So, I ripped the audio from the better of the videos where these tunes appeared, did a small bit of editing, and they turned out pretty decent. Hopefully more full show audience recordings will be coming in where these songs were performed. But for the time being, I think everybody would enjoy these selections. They are a fun good listen. And if more 'unique' ones show up down the road, I will grab those too (if they're decent audio) and add them to this entry. And I'll continue to do that until we have, maybe, the whole 'Unpredictable' repertoire. ~ Warren |

Decent recordings... which I just ripped the audio from 'on-line videos' and then I did some minor editing. The whole show was Fan filmed by various individuals, with the exception of 'I'm So Proud (Soul Medley)' which was performed after 'Bang On The Drum'. So we're only missing that one from the Set List. While 'tweaking' and balancing out the audio, I tried to make the tracks run as seemless as possible. Although there are a lot of unavoidable audience applause fast fade in and fade outs, pretty much all songs are complete. And this is a fun listen that I did to satisfy us until the good audience recordings start surfacing. As far as the performance goes: Minor hic-ups, but the good 'ole Liars Band is tight and brings it. I'm so glad to see them lose the chairs and the stools.Todd has lots of energy here. And I like the 'Unpredictable' songs that they selected for this show. Global's 'Rise' is a little weird with live backing musicians, but 'Soothe' is super. I think I just take it for granted that Todd's vocals are going to be incredible night after night, and he doesn't fail us here. And I expected him to crank up 'foamy', which he does this evening too.~ Warren |

Rundgren’s winter 2015-2016 tour thus far appears designed to please fans who want to revisit their youth, or at the very least be reminded of just how prolific Rundgren was in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Sunday’s show in North Tonawanda NY, just outside of Buffalo, comes less than a year after Todd’s “Global” tour that featured a wild light show and a heavy dose of EDM. Sunday’s show featured a healthy dose of powerhouse renditions of Rundgren’s most commercially successful album Something/Anything ? and songs from the classic four-piece Utopia era. The sold out crowd seemed content to sit back and watch Rundgren belt out songs and rip through guitar solos. Rundgren could not be faulted for a lack of effort, and his voice was in perfect form, but in spite of his best efforts, the crowd stayed seated for most of the evening, with a few people in the front standing after songs were over, and the traditional bum rush to the stage for the encores. The renditions of the classic songs were faithful but with an added spark. Rundgren’s touring band was on fire all evening, driven by the rhythm section of Kasim Sulton on bass and Prairie Prince on drums, and complimented by the guitar pyrotechnics of Jesse Gress and keyboardist John Ferenzik. The band is arguably Rundgren’s best solo group, not only because of their musicianship, but due to the fact that all of them have performed with Rundgren for at least 20 years. The Utopia material was the most powerful and seemed to draw the best response from the crowd. “Rock Love”, “Love in Action” and “Lysistrata” found Todd in classic form, either wailing on guitar or moving back and forth in front of the stage just like he did during the band’s heyday. The ballads and slower songs were well received, deeper cuts like “Lost Horizon” and part of the soul medley from “A Wizard a True Star.” Rundgren also played two Nazz songs, “Open My Eyes” and “Kiddie Boy.” Of the 24 songs in the set only two were released in this century, “Soothe” from his 2015 release Global and “Buffalo Grass” from One Long Year which came out in 2000. The rest of the set pre-dated 1985. If you liked Rundgren’s older work, you left happy.” |

Yes, they're all partial songs of the show's set blended into one another. The performances are dubbed from a brilliant Fan (Pro-like) video. I did minimal editing and the music turned out wonderful. In fact, though it is partial tunes, they are in 'set order' and cover almost the whole show. Within the multi angle video, we see camera 'booms' moving about. And Todd makes a statement about the show being filmed by VR (three drone cameras). A new concept that we'll be seeing on a later DVD release. But as isalways the case, the release date is usually several months to a year later. I'll be patient. I'll listen to this on disc and watch the video over. And though I continue to use the word 'partial', actually there is a very good portion of each song here.~ Warren Review by Joe Bonaker (On TRC):” Wow, just wow! I've now seen Todd perform live 20 times, and this show was the best since my first Utopia show at Vet's Memorial in Columbus, Ohio back in June of 1980. Todd-Freaks, you gotta see this memorable "greatest hits" show. (Caveat emptor, I've never been to a bad TR show, most have been very good and a few were great, but the selection and musicianship made this the equal of that magical first concert experience long ago.) I thought it would be a sloppy night after a two-week holiday break, but the band was tight, Todd's vocals were good (much better than my shredded chords at the end of the night) and the midweek crowd was hopping by the end of the two-hour set. My daughter loved the music and enjoyed the always entertaining LA people-watching -- fun but not too bizarre for the most part. Personal faves were Love of the Common Man (Jesse Gress solo into dueling solos), Open My Eyes, Black and White, Sometimes I Don't Know What to Feel, Determination, Love in Action (Powell-esque solo by John Ferenzik), Secret Society, Black Maria, Buffalo Grass, Drive, Rock Love ... "the hits just keep on coming!" Based on earlier reviews I expected this show to be very good, but I was blown away by best show I've seen in a very cool 1930s era theater. Get out to see this amazing 67-year-old Wizard before he returns to form by perplexing us all with his next left turn!” Review by Rick Laurenzo (On TRC): ” Last night's show was special. Todd and the band were energized, the crowd was appreciative and the show rocked from beginning to end. All night long, the band would start a song, and I'd be like...I can't believe he's doing that song from...(fill in the album) Todd's musical catalog is so immense, so varied and so wonderful that each song would transport me back to another great time in my life. Just a great, great show. Thanks, Todd” |

Note:This is a weird sitrep. I found the tease on YouTube for this. Says it’s a 2019 Camelot Records Release! Camelot has no listing of it anywhere (past, present or future). Sooooooo…I found it on Spotify and grabbed it with my Replay Media Player Ap (and it’s not peak amplitude capped out). IT IS a Pro Recording of the Show. And in typical Camelot Fashion, they like to fade in and out audience applause before & after most tracks. ‘Official’? So this one just for Archives listing only. But this one’s a mystery to me. Especially a 2016 Date! It is AWESOME!~ Warren |

But again, if I was recommend one of the two: I'd recommend Mike's. Both are delites.~ Warren |

Note:A simply wonderful audience recording of a magnificent evening by our buddy Istvan. If you like ‘Up Against It’, this is ESSENTIAL.~ Warren So much to say about this presentation, but Glad Williams says it best in this review on TRC: “It's been a long time coming, but thanks to (mainly) Dutch music lovers and supporters, Todd Rundgren's "Up Against It" hit the stage tonight at De Oosterpoort in Groningen. This debut European production boasted a full symphony orchestra and local residents of this Parish, The NNO. The audience were asked to pretend they were watching the movie-that-never-was by writer and producer, TR. To share the workload with the main man, we had principal singers Mathilde Santing and Wouter Penris, both of whom had proven their mettle back in 2012 when they provided backing vocals for TR at his Paradiso "Extravaganza ll". We had a choir too: students from Amsterdam Conservatory. The amazing Tom Trapp once again worked his magic by arranging TR's music for orchestra. He was spotted onstage just minutes before the show commenced, making final tweaks. What a Pro' !The Marcel Mandos -led orchestra, conducted by an animated and enthusiastic Hans Leenders, were poised and ready to go. My first thought when asked my opinion of the show was "Well, it was #@!@ing great!" However, if this is to be a considered personal review, I need to be a tad less pithy. So... Awesome/Amazing/Stellar/Superb/Beautiful were some of the adjectives flying around from the audience. That it was a unanimous success was agreed by all. But I think the main message that was picked up by me (and by others, I am certain) was how satisfied and happy Todd looked. For crying out loud, three days' rehearsals only and then Show time...he must have wondered if it would all pull together. Now I don't know a Crochet from a Cow, but I do know these aren't the easiest songs to sing. So when I sit there with my mouth open saying "WOW" after a number, then I know I've just had a Sonic Treat. I must give mention to the evening's Secret Weapon, namely a reet-petite young lady who, according to TR, was the only one who had the balls to take on this next song. She had my full attention from the first note of " You'll Thank Me In The End." By the final note, she could have HAD me! Brava. Mesmerising stage presence. She is Pitou Nicolaes I am told. Thanks Facebook friends! Not forgetting the Hats and batshit-crazy plot, 'Twas a wonderful, wacky experience. I loved it. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to The Facilitator. The man who FIXED IT for Todd and made it possible for all to enjoy. My heartfelt respect and love goes out to Co de Kloet.” |

Note:Excellent audience recording by David Sell (aka: Falconidave). I'll just use his notes from the info file that read: ‘Another amazing show from the genius mind of Todd Rundgren and his all-star band!! I had a great location behind the SBD and a very respectful crowd around me. I was running collar mount so there is an occasional mic bump here and there. I unfortunately made a rookie mistake and had a few beers before the show (Cinco de Mayo and all). Well I evacuated the bladder all I could before the start, but about 90 minutes in, I couldn't sit any longer. Thank God the bathroom was about 10 yards from my seat and no line to get in. So, about 2 minutes into "I Want You" the music is gradually replaced by the sound my pressured bladder. Woops!! Other than that, it's a great mix and recording!! My last in California for the foreseeable future as my path takes me back to Texas.' ‘THIS ONE IS ESSENTIAL. Thanks Dave!

Note:I was excited to grab this audience recording for we haven’t had anything in quite a while. I was quick to burn it to disc for my automobile listening pleasure…Only to find that though it is a very good recording, it needs some ‘umpf’. If you have a simple editor with a graphic equalizer option, then you may want to bring up the treble a bit to liven/clear this one up. I love it because of some of the tunes such as; ‘Determination’ and ‘A Dream Goes On Forever’ as the final encore. But one of my all time favorites, ‘Love of the Common Man’, is opted for a Mother’s Day message from Todd. Though he’s humorous and upbeat, we all know that we just lost his Mom Ruth. So it’s all somewhat sad. And I can very much live without a ‘With A Twist’ ‘Born To Synthesize’ and I am not fond of Love Science whatsoever. And I don’t care if I was to never hear ‘Bang On The Drum All Day’ ever again. Oh well. ~ Warren The taper says,’Good capture of the house mix, as I was 20 feet from the hanging speakers. Audience was mostly well- behaved and stayed seated, though there is some occasional talking nearby, maybe 2 minutes worth total. I was 15 to 20 feet from Todd, depending on where he was standing. I also took a couple dozen cell photos, some of which turned out pretty good, and they are also included.

After having been entertained by the vintage Mighty Wurlitzer Organ for thirty minutes Todd and the band made their appearance to a sold out house of approximately 1000. The set list was similar to most of the other shows and Todd gave us two hours of straight up music of 25 songs stretching the vast catalogue of his career. His voice was strong and his guitar playing was on full display. The band as usual provided a wall of sound for every song. The crowd was fully engaged, offering rounds of applause and support for the Wizard. The encore ended with A Dream Goes on Forever as Todd exited the stage, enticing us to come along, knowing full well that we won't be able to resist the next time.” |

This is the audio soundtrack from the entire video, so it’s excellent. Istvan was kind enough to split the tracks. And thank you Istvan! The show was, of course, abbreviated, so no 'I Saw The Light'. No 'Love Is the Answer'! But Todd was well presented throughout and he's 'all over this thing'!~ Warren James Grant For The News-Sentinel (Ft. Wayne) in his Review said,"The night seemed like a living jukebox of hits from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s played ever so skillfully by Steve Lukather, Richard Page, Gregg Rolie, Todd Rundgren, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette, who comprise the All-Starr Band." And of any one song to leave out was 'Love is the Answer'!? Really? WTF?... But James went on to say,"One of the most majestic moments of the show happened just after 9 p.m. when Rundgren performed his song "Love is the Answer" as the sun began to set. Rundgren’s plea for peace and understanding provided a nice juxtaposition to the religious and political protestors outside the Foellinger Theatre gates who tried to cast a pall on the show’s festive atmosphere. The song was also a nice respite after the troubling national events of the past couple of weeks, and for me personally it was a superb performance. The one thing many audience members, including myself, took away from the evening was a night filled with good music and good memories. The skill and power of the All-Starr Band really helped push the show into overdrive Tuesday. It was amazing to see all these terrific performers onstage together." |

During his residency, Todd taught several classes, working with students and teachers in the South Bend/Mishawaka community. And then performed with student bands in a concert Oct 1 Leighton Concert Hall. He organized an on-campus collection of used musical instruments for national redistribution to music students in need and, in conjunction with his Spirit of Harmony Foundation, presented an award to Notre Dame alumnus Bill Hurd. Todd also attended the Notre Dame-Duke football game Sept. 24 and was the subject of a “First Time Fans” documentary produced by Fighting Irish Media. What we have here is just some audio from his stay. (Performing solo, a haunting 'Soothe' with the pipe organ at the Cathedral. Performing solo 'Lysistrata' at the South Bend Tribune Building, played at the Pep Rally with students , coaches and Cory Robinson (Class President and ex-Basketball Star). And we have just a few tunes from the Oct 1 Leighton Concert Hall (DeBartolo), He actually performed an incredible selection of songs for that show. The Setlist was: 01 Love of the Common Man 02 Cliché 03 Black and White 04 There Goes My Inspiration 05 Lysistrata 06 Something to Fall Back On 07 Soothe 08 Bang the Drum All Day 09 The Wheel* 10 One World 11 Parallel Lines* 12 Blue Bossa (Joe Henderson cover) 13 I Saw the Light 14 We Gotta Get You a Woman 15 Love Science 16 Can't Stop Running 17 Can We Still Be Friends* 18 Hello It's Me* 19 Just One Victory* So, until they release the full video of the show (which Ed has told us they plan to release a DVD and CD) above is five performances as 'teasers'. More info bout the 'teasers': In fall 2016, the Notre Dame Department of Film, Television, and Theatre and the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center (Leighton Hall) were honored to host rock legend Todd Rundgren as artist-in-residence for ten days.

Here's a stealth recording capturing the first night of Kasim's recent short UK tour. It was an intimate acoustic gig in the amazing chapel of a former convent. Kasim is in great voice, relaxed & in good humor and presents 90+ minutes of solo songs, classic Utopia Tracks, a TR classic and a few choice covers, playing some sublime acoustic guitar & piano, interspersed with laid-back chat & a reverse Q&A, quizzing the audience in return for cds & t-shirts. One of the best gigs I have been to in a long while ... Thanks Megadrive Mike! Love these 'intimate' Kasim shows. Saw him here in Atlanta last year. Sad because very very low turnout. But, what a talent. And a show like it was just for me. I got to hang out with him for a while after the performance too. He gives 'nice guy' all new meaning.~ Warren |

Note:I don’t even know why I have this listed here. It’s just that it was Todd’ first show of 2017. The show received bad reviews, but what I’ve done here with the edit of the songs is pretty good….though most of them partial. It’s still ‘in the works’ and I’m waiting for more video to pop up to fill in the two sets just a little bit. BTW, Detroit Betty sounds totally unprepared,~ Warren |

| 3/7/17 | ‘UNPREDICTABLE’ CITY WINERY NEW YORK NY (SECOND SHOW) | AUDIENCE | 79:00 |
| Date Added:3/30/2017 Track List:LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN.RUNNING BEAR. I DON'T WANT TO TIE YOU DOWN.THE WALLS CAME DOWN.BANTER-BLACK AND WHITE.ARE YOU HAVIN' ANY FUN.ENDLESS PRAIRIE.I'M A GUN.SONG OF THE VIKING.(CUTS IN) COMPASSION.THE MEANING OF LIFE.DIRTY OLD EGG SUCKING DOG.CLICHÉ.LYSISTRATA.I SAW THE LIGHT.HASH PIPE.HELLO IT'S ME.LOVE IN ACTION (CUTS OUT).(CUTS IN) LOVE IN ACTION FINISH. ONE WORLD. Note:Got this audience recording from a source who wants to remain anonymous, because they don't like the way it turned out. I think it's just great, and all I had to do was split tracks and I left as is. Lots of 'spikes' and 'clipping' on a couple of tracks. Looks like its pretty much the whole second show. I think some of Todd's banter is missing. He was drinking martinis throughout both shows, maybe that's why the recorder left some out. But, it all flows pretty much seamlessly together (Except ‘Compassion’ has a very short cut in, and ‘Love In Action’ was split …that I could not fix). Anyway, Todd pulls it off and you really have to like these 'Unpredictable' Shows that he has been doing since 2012 (You either love them or hate them, from many I’ve talked to). I'm pretty sure the first one was actually here at the City Winery on March 12 2012 (Webcast).He really picks some songs straight off the cuff. The Lorne Greene stuff has been a 'staple' in these shows for years. Me? Well I think 'Hash Pipe' leaves a lot to be desired. Todd's falsetto suffers here. But all in all, again, He and this wonderful Band pull it off (Even the vodka aside). It's the first recording we have from this new year.~ Warren |

Note:What entertainment Kasim brings. His shows are always ‘warm’ with whoever is lucky to be in the audience. I've seen him every time he comes to Atlanta. Unfortunately we give him small crowds. But his energy and appeal are the same - large or small audience. His story telling in between songs is so amusing. And what a shear musical talent! His performance here is astonishing. The setlist is 50% Todd Rundgren or Utopia related. I have to admit that watching him, and listening is much better than just listening. But this audio will have the listener imagining the visual. He’s that good. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Note:Heywood (from TTD) says, "A nice change up in the set list this year. Not a greatest hits show at all. Also a nice move is the swing beat on that tired old gem Hello it's Me. Binko buys a shirt at every concert he goes to, then puts them in a drawer never to be worn again. He has brand new shirts going back to the 70s. Apparently this is acceptable to Todd, because he says in Buy My T "you can bootleg the music but you have to buy a shirt". Ok, Todd. I will, and I will." Nice to finally have this one. Better late than never, huh? [Early in the Chivalrock Tour, and these guys used to come out early with their recordings ('Binko' & 'Heywood')!?] AND they/he always comes out with the best quality of our recordings (Archives) from Tours every year. This one's no different. Probably the best audience recording we have from the 'White Knight/Chivalrock' Tour. The Tour's over and this is probably the last one will get. Thank you ' Binko', whoever and wherever you are! ESSENTIAL~ Warren Recording lineage: Taper: Binko. Gear: Tascam DR-08. Transferred & mastered by Heywood.

Actually the first recording of the year (Well...besides my boring stitched Together 2017-03-17 ‘Unpredictable’ City Winery New York NY http://forum.trconnection.com/viewthread.php?tid=11472). What a great capture Thom! They changed the set list order a bit, and we get 'sir Reality' which not surfaced on any Fan Film that I know of. What's cool is: We also have e- review from Thom Jennings in 'Backstage access!: "Midway through Saturday’s performance in Kingston, New York, Todd Rundgren mentioned to the crowd he had become a doctor earlier in the day. He was, in fact, given an honorary doctorate from the Berklee School of Music that afternoon and delivered the school’s commencement address. Rundgren cited the decision to make “A Wizard a True Star” after the hugely successful “Something/Anything?” as the pivotal point in his career. “Wizard” has subsequently been cited as an influential work by many contemporary artists, and amongst the Rundgren Nation, it is considered Rundgren’s career defining work. Fast forward to 2017 and we find Todd Rundgren flanked by two young dancing girls in front of two layers of state-of-the art video screens, one sandwiches a powerful band, and Rundgren is out promoting a new album. In short, more than four decades after Todd gave the world “A Wizard a True Star” he still chooses to challenge himself and his fans, new and old alike. The Chivalrock Tour, in honor of his newest release “White Knight,” is the reconciliation of what Todd has been doing since the end of his tenure as a Bearsville recording artist. The show presents three sides of the musician, starting with the modern EDM infused Todd, followed by guitar hero Todd and finishing with the Philly soul funky Todd who can make you want to dance. It isn’t until the encores that Todd performs a single song from his Bearsville years, and even those three oldies are polished up. Kingston is a stone’s throw away from where Rundgren recorded his Bearsville catalogue. In essence, this was a fascinating homecoming for the artist who has always refused to stand still. In addition to being a visually breathtaking and bombastic, musically it may be the most cohesive presentation of Rundgren’s latter catalogue that combines all the great elements of the last three solo tours, including band members. While some fans have had a hard time accepting the band behind a semi-transparent video wall, the band’s playing has not suffered at all. Prairie Prince and Kasim Sulton have become one of the best powerhouse rhythm sections around, Jesse Gress is playing with incredible conviction and Greg Hawkes brings it all together with his versatility and pop sensibility. What makes a live show great is the artist’s ability to take a studio recording to the next level, and Rundgren’s band has done that incredibly well, especially on the songs from the last three studio albums. For those who might be scared off by the notion that Todd is not playing the older material on this tour, the way the show is structured you manage to get all the elements of those great songs in an updatedform. So while there is no “Bang the Drum” you get the party anthems “Evrybody” and “Party Liquor,” and instead of “Love in Action” you get songs like “This is Not a Drill” or “Strike” and even without “ISaw the Light” there is the delightful new pop gem “Let's Do This,” and while “Love is the Answer” is absent “Past” is an equally moving song. Perhaps most important is that Todd not only is winning over his audience, he seems to be having a great time. The show is well crafted and the “Global” girls from the tour of the same name bring not only added strength to the backing vocals, they infuse a youthful energy into the show. If you plan on taking a date and talking through a “White Knight” show you should probably stay home, but if you want to relive some great moments from Todd’s career in a new package then you will be fully entertained and satisfied, which is just what the Dr. Rundgren ordered." |

Clear and crisp and loud. Same set so far for most the 'Chival Rock' Tour. If you've seen one of these shows you can see the 'staggering/extraordinary/mind blowing back drop of a 363,000 light (Kaz tells us) visuals per each tune as you listen to this. And I should mention every time- The always hot/tight Band: Todd, Jesse Gress, Kaz, Prairie Prince and Gred Hawkes. And how 'bout thse 'Smoking Hot' Global Girls. Their angel vocals, their sexy out fits, and choreography. They make my loins ache. Thank you so much Mark! And tell Barry we love him for his continued recordings every Tour. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Basically Digitally green screened scenes of huge fish tanks while two guys discuss allot of silliness. And from time to time they have musical artist who perform infront of the digital 'green screen'. Today (05-29-2017) Todd and band were guests (the night before that evenings show). They perform three tunes. And in between each Todd played with the live fish and the digital fish. An hour long show. I captured the whole show. But here are the three tunes they played. HD Videos and the soundtracks. It's very much fun and you would enjoy. These are ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

You should ya hear this baby! All I did was raise the levels a hair. Now, you're going to hear a wee teeny (very weeny) distortion from Todd's mike in [u]one or two[/u] of these tunes. But it ain't the taper. It's Todd's mike. I ain't no pro-musician, but I wish he'd lose that 1950s looking thing. Everything I've heard from these shows (Vimeo, Private phone vid,YouTube etc...) is the same. Everything sounds great but then the distortion from his mike. (The 'STATE" Webcast was like that too).Global Girls & Band's mikes sound fine. Well, I'll quit my rant because this one stellar recording and it's will grab you by the ass. Thank you Mike 'MOZ' Mosner (exile)! ESSENTIAL~ WARREN |

Note:All kind of just 'Done In Fun'. This audio is entirely from a Fan's audience Videos. The Videos are spectacular. 'ZenarchersLair' caught the entire show (in twelve parts) from several angles/areas, as what appears to be almost on the stage with the performers? This was one of the last Shows of the Yestival for the Band, so they are on fire, and full of themselves. However, the audio took some tweaking. But it's the whole show, that took a couple of fade ins and fade outs, for a few of the tracks, to make it run seamlessly as possible. I even applied each tweaked audio to each video part, upgraded to DVD NTSC 720 mpg, and came up with a very cool DVD. Thank you 'ZenarchersLair' whoever and wherever you are! Ya'll cam imagine how cool all 12 parts will be tied together in DVD Format. WOW!~ Warren |

The first six videos done by Photographer Clayton Call and 'A Dream Goes On Forever'(very partial, but very good) was filmed by Stephen Ross. Everybody has probably seen Clayton's Videos on YouTube but I converted them to HD 720 DVD NTSC and tweaked the audio to excellent sound. Same drill with Stephen's Video. His was posted on FaceBook.

Great audience video during Secret Society's Performance at the Once, for Rundgren Radio's 10th Anniversary celebrations up in Boston. Stewkey Antoni made an appearance for two tunes- 'Hello It's Me' and 'Under The Ice'. I captured John Markarian's Videos of both performances. And I think they are worth having, so I upgraded them and I also the audio separately of both songs that I edited a little bit. Pretty cool I think.~ Warren |

Note: At first I was real disappointed in this one. Binko (Traders Den) usually comes up with some powerful audience recordings. But this one was a little flat. BUT then, I edited it with my Roxio Realizer and this thing is now probably one of best recordings from the tail end of 2017! As far as the performance goes, here’s an online Review by Joseph Soto: ”The iconic Todd Rundgren returned to the area Monday evening as he played the Rapids Theatre in Niagara Falls. It had been just six months since his prior visit in May. The show was just the 2nd date of his 2nd leg of the White Knights tour. Although the shows were different legs of the same tour there were many differences between them. In other words, anyone who decided to sit through the show again may have enjoyed it even more so this time around. If you missed both shows shame on you. The most noticeable difference was the annoying screen that Rundgren and his “Global Girls” sang in front of while the band played on from behind was gone. Wise choice because the talent behind that curtain deserved to be seen. The same cast was on hand this time as well. The band featuring Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes, The Tubes drummer, Prairie Prince, guitarist Jesse Gress and bassist Kasim Sulton seemed to play with more authority than they did behind “steel curtain”.The band took to the stage with the exact set they played some six months ago. It was a little surprising since Rundgren had just done a few “unpredictable” shows in which he mixes up the set nightly with Utopia rarities, covers and his solo material. While the majority of the set focused on some of his newer music, Rundgren did some songs that have become standards in his sets such as “Buffalo Grass”, “Love Science” and the show finale “Just One Victory”. The song of the night came in form of “One World” the Utopia classic. It was the first tune of the encore and was a very powerful performance perhaps served even better as the final song of the night. “Hello It’s Me” quickly followed and kind of brought the tone down a bit following such a riveting beginning to the encore. The Rapids used their unique set up with tables and chairs on the main floor and chairs on the raised portions of the venue. It made for a comfortable evening although many diehards went to the rail about halfway through to get an up-close experience. Rundgren has played the area many times over his career. He is never one to go through the motions and has always been a forward-thinking individual. One look at his discography as an artist and producer clearly back up that claim. He is as experimental as well and is never afraid to take chances. What is next for Rundgren? While nothing is certain you know it will be like this show was, worthwhile to see.” Taper: Binko Gear: AT831s > Tascam DR-08 Transferred & mastered by }{eywood Lineage: DR-08 (recording to .wav @ 24/96) > USB > Adobe Audition 1.5 (EQ, clap reduction, peak limiting, splits & fades) > Xrecode II (conversion to 16/44.1) > TLH (sector alignment, flac 8) ~ Warren |

Don’t really do Christmas things (most of my family has passed on and I don’t have one of my own) so, a show 2 days before was perfect (and free so perfect).

Note: Excellent Second Source Audience Recording (above) by, my West Coast Buddy, Spencer T. This one has a little more ‘volume power' to it (that's the only way I can explain it). Although both sources are very very good. Wonderful to have this 'one off' 'Unpredictable' Set! Apparently, due to logistics and Venue size this was switched from your typical 'White Knight Tour' Set to this one. And what a pleasant change it is. Lots of great oddball song performances here...as is every 'Unpredictable' Show. Spencer grabbed this show almost with perfection, and there was absolutely no editing needed...as opposed to the other source which was very low volume and comes in at the end of the first number, ‘Hello There'. But it's a great problem to have (two sources), no matter how late we got them. The other great source can be found at Jon's TRC Forum Entry: http://forum.trconnection.com/viewthread.php?tid=11694 |

This is the audio pulled from the video that I grabbed live streaming. I'd post the video only it's too big of a file (4GB). What a wonderful Evening. Ya know, when I first heard Kaz sing on 'RA', I thought Todd had hired a male Angel' to sing. A gorgeous voice that is still strong as ever. But you know all that. Yeah, it's actually a shortened set, but powerful in so many ways. And Kaz's Banter should be allowed during Todd's Shows. He's charming and hilarious and so down to earth, for he loves his fans. And I'm proud to say he calls me a friend. So I enjoy this and you will too!~ Warren Kasim Sulton- Bass and vocals Jesse Gress- Guitar and vocals Wade Preston- Piano and vocals Chris Clark- Synth and vocals Andy Ascolese- Drums and vocals *Special Note: Apparently the whole performance on Daryl's Show was not the whole the Set. We also have two great Fan Films (by 'WalkerBrothers') that I pulled the great audio from as well. So we have two bonus cuts: 'Swing To The Right' and 'Fix Your Gaze'.

Note:THE FIRST SHOW OF TODD RUNDGREN'S UTOPIA 2018 REUNION TOUR! It is an astonishing audience recording by our good friend- Barry B. I just added some 'Ummmpppfff' to it (to bring some stuff out front) and it now sounds like a Soundboard for sure. The 2 sets are as many of us had predicted (with the exception of 'Rock Love'. Me? I could live without that one). Also as expected in a Debut, the performance has it's 'hic-ups'. If I know Todd; as the Tour goes on, there will be some fixes and some song selection changes. BUT YOU JUST GOT TO HEAR THIS BEYOND BELIEF RECORDING! I'm kind of speechless (or I'd go on about how great Gil Assayas is). Thank you Barry! ~ Warren Todd Rundgren – Guitar, Vocals Kasim Sulton – Bass, Vocals Gil Assayas – Keyboards, Vocals Willie Wilcox – Drums, Vocals TRC Review by our great friend Tony Rogers, “Generally first set had more rough spots than 2 (TR on FF and AL) Kas and Willie on Back on the Street (only tempo issue all night a bit too slow-Willie was very consistent and did not drag at any point) Second set was far better received by crowd who really loved hammer on out. Willie kind of gave up halfway on Princess (prob monitors) and half spoke princess but still the crowd dug it. During this second set it begins to dawn on you the subtle power and grandeur of the WW and KS rhythm section. By the time LITA comes, its all over. The new guy was spectacular in that he didn't overshadow but did not drag the proceedings either-he did a perfect job. To all the old Utopia fans please get out there and you will be transported to a warm loving place you used to call home years ago. The point is---If you've been there before, I report to you that the magic is absolutely 100% here. You will feel it I guarantee it. Let it wash over you ... now let's do something with it.” |

One that is fair (Matt Walsh’s), and the other (by 'Whotapes' on Traders Den), that I have ‘tweaked to an Excellent Second audience recording. Is it the best out of the Dallas recordings? YES (sorry Matt).I played with it a little bit, and I brought out the vocals and some other highlights. Now sounds very much like a soundboard. And being the fourth Show of the Tour, the band had polished up a lot of hic-ups. They are ‘spot on’ for the most part. And from the Fan reviews I've read, is that it was an awesome Show and the Theatre is wonderful acoustically. And this Gil Assayas is such a wonderful accent! Thanks to Matt Walsh and Thank You 'Whotapes' whoever and wherever you are! Ya'll keep bringing them on. I'm hoping somebody recorded my April 28th Atlanta Show (I think they did) ~ Warren |

I didn’t need to do a smudge of editing, ‘cause this thing sounds like a soundboard (with the exception of audience chatter). It’s one of the best of the audience recordings from the Tour. And the Band’s performance is stellar. Jon says, ”The Paramount is a relatively new venue in Huntington on Long Island and it was the first show of the tour I could make it to. It used to be a Movie house and looks to be almost 100 years old and renovated nicely. Full up, it has a great sound to what I was sure would be a cavernous room. I had to fly across the country, travel with a rolling bag that didn't roll, take 4 types of public transport, borrow the money for the ticket, and get probed by the metal detectors, but it was worth it. Typically, the Long Island crowd chatted a bit too much, but the music is clear and the support for the band shows in the performances and the sound of the crowd. I cut out about 20 really annoying between-song screams and whistles, including one in the middle of the Utopia theme that was the only spot where they actually pause for 10 seconds, so now they pause for 5. I think that's forgivable. The crowd is really riled up at the beginning of the show but they calm down a bit during the Ikon. One thing I can say about my seat in the 7th row was that I didn't see people constantly leaving their seats for $15 beers. They all sat riveted and cheered the band on. All through the show.” Lineage: dpa4061-caUgly-PMD620 (2448 WAV file) Sound Studio (editing, tracking) > xACT (SBE align, Flac level5) No EQ applied. |

The second source got some good pieces of the rest of the First set ('Monument' thru 'Last of the New Wave Riders') and some good pieces of the Second Set ('Road To Utopia' thru 'One World') with a full 'Just One Victory'. Soooo...Basically some portions or complete songs of all of the Show. Probably comes in last of all the 2018 Utopia Reunion Tour that we have. This one would be to keep just for posterity. But special thanks Alex Walker for his efforts!~ Warren |

Note:Mark & Lynne Bagely (Bedford) promoted this show under a large tent on the Coleman Family Farm on Todd's Birthday (June 22). Norm Stevens and a few others caught the entire show on film, and this is the soundtrack. And it's an excellent audience recording. All I did was enhance the Bass and did some stereo seperation. And though everybody had an obvious drink, I think the performance is extraordinary/unique. It's a 'Unpredictable' Show. The ambience is lots of Crowd noise & excitement, but not annoying whatsoever. If you're a Fan of Todd Rundgren, then you would feel that this show was just for you. For Todd really came through with individual/personal time for each countless Fan at Toddstock, and people just like You & Me.~ Warren Musicians (many more than listed here): Todd Kasim Sulton Bobby Strickland Jesse Gress Geg Hawkes Prairie Prince |

Note:This is a really awesome one by 'Seedy' (on Traders Den)... and Thank You 'Seedy'! Whomever or wherever you are! We didn't have to do much work on this one. Except there was not much Bass present. So we upped that. We also reduced the number of tracks by adding the 'banter' to its preceding song and mended the 'Soul Medley' together. If you accustomed to the 'Unpredictable' Tour this year, then you'll know it's some of the usual stuff, except here they add 'Open My Eyes' and 'Let's Do This' (one of my all time favorites). The performance is spectacular (as the Guys always are @ Austin City Limits).If you like Todd's unusual pick of 'covers', then you’d love this one. Me? I can’t get enough of this stuff from ‘my era’! ~ Warren Todd - Guitar Greg Hawkes - Keyboard Prairie Prince - Drums Kasim Sultan - Bass Jesse Gress – Guitar |

What a treat to hear him cover some amazing songs. I was in my "sweet spot" at the Granda and the crowd around me was enthusiastic, but respectable. No distractions at all, the mix was great too and this recording is up front and in your face! Crank it up loud!!” And that’s what we do.

Note:This one was a 'bear'...to do some 'magic' with Geoff Laurenzo's recording (w/ TASCAM DR-07). Though it's actually very good, and it held so much promise, but he was in the balcony so there's some distance ambience. So I brought it all out 'up front & in your face'. I think it sounds wonderful! Thank you Geoff for this rare treat!~ Warren Geoff says, "Hoyt Sherman had the more famous brother of William Tecumseh Sherman. Hoyt was paymaster in the Union army in the civil war. He was a successful businessman in Des Moines, and built a mansion in 1877. The beautiful 1,400 seat theater was built in 1923. I was in the balcony and off to the right side, not directly facing the speakers. And I didn't want to fiddle with settings after starting, because an usher was close by. Thanks for working on this show." |

Note:Audio capture from Ann Sunde's Fan Film. It strange that the vocals are muffled on some tunes , for she was up front and in their face. I was able to EQ this & bring out the Vocals on most songs. Many of the performances are partial. Some of this is not so good, some is OK and the more complete songs are great. Actually it was Angelo Moore who stole this show (all his tunes came out wonderful and so did much of Todd's performances). This is very listenable and very cool~ Warren |

Note:An incredible audience recording by our friend Clayton Call (my favorite photographer in all the world). All I did was some EQing and brought everything kind of up front and in your face. Just put on some headphones, and pull up a lounge chair at the front the stage at the ToddStock Camp 2018. Thank you Clayton for sharing this with me! This is ESSENTIAL! ~ Warren Clayton says, "The mic was just to Todd's right, so there's a little too much Jesse. I raised the right channel about 3-4 db, but it might need 2-3 db more boost on the right to get a little more vocals. It's a "field recording," and it has it's limitations. The mix gets better on stage as the set goes on. I have audio from the two video cameras that could be combined to make a decent Matrix recording.......the stage was in between two redwoods. The forest canopy created a natural slap-back reverb effect, especially on the snare drum..." 2018-10-29 Important Update! As I made mention, besides an audio recording with a Mic on Stage, Clayton also Filmed the Show. After hearing my mix, he decided to Re-master a recording by Matrix with stage audio & his film audio. It's definitely a different end product. It's in his MP3s. WOW! Same track list. Thanks so much to Clayton!~ Warren |

And We THANK YOU 'Lostbrook' whomever and wherever you are!~ Warren 'Lostbrook' says, "After Al Stewart, I hustled over to the pool stage where a friend had saved me a seat. It was already crowded when I got there, but the seat turned out to be a good one since it provided me with a degree of protection when the wind picked up. I believe we were still docked when the show began, but we were moving before long and the wind increased dramatically. Todd took it in stride and cracked a few jokes about the situation while delivering one of the best performances of the cruise."

Note:Seems YouTube Member 'jawnstuff' filmed all the performances of the March 17th day of the Ecstatic Festival in New york City. Incredible Video & sound (except for the silent moments, you can hear them holding the camera)! On-Line News says, "Kaufman Music Center's dynamic Face the Music youth program for an afternoon of invigorating new music. The performance showcases repertoire commissioned for ETHEL and developed during the quartet's 2018-19 residency with Face the Music at Kaufman Music Center." AND they (Ethel) invited Todd to do a short performance of music that they've played many time together since 2005 (except for the silly 'Menamenah'... Which is new). I include not only Todd & Ethel's performances but 'jawnstuff' gives us the whole show here (so I include Ethel's & Face The Music's String pieces here too. For they are BEAUTIFUL Listening Pleasures. ~ Warren |

For they have used the Studios before and it's where 'Squidbillies' is Produced. I've seen the studios, and the video that I've seen of this appears to be there (We have a 'spoiler' Video of the 'Hash Pipe' performance). I wish we had the entire video of all the performances, but I do not have access to watch/or hear Sirius XM. So all we have is the audio thanks to Roger Steele!~ Warren |

Note:Mint Audience Soundboard-like Recording by my buddy Mike Mosner ('Moz')! Mike recorded both nights (Yes, second night coming tomorrow)! Amazing...I do not know how he , on this night, rolled Todd's vocals down. For Todd's Microphone Monitor was blowing our hair back! As all attendess of both nights will say; this was the best of the two nights energy-wise. Atlanta came un-glued! Especially on 'Black & White'. The entire crowd rushed forward and danced in every isle. You'll hear Todd say to the security (idiots), 'Let my people dance'! All I did was bring out some highlights and tried to add some bass (which was difficult with out a bass hum throughout). But Mike did all the hard work and we thank him so much!

Again, As all attendess of both nights will say; The energy of the Band and the Crowd was better the First Night...But the sound was better this Second Night. Altogether a different Second Set this Night. But did we need a 10:29 Bossa Nova Version of 'Born To Synthesize?!? I guess it was to accent Bobby Strickland. Guess 'Kindness', 'Kiddie Boy' and 'Fade Away' make up for 'dat! But WE love Todd and Todd loves Atlanta, so the Performances are always spot on! Speaking of 'spot on', so was Mike capturing this! All I did was bring out some highlights and added some bass. But Mike did all the hard work and we thank him so much!

Now, having said that, for you audiophiles out there, and your audio spectrographs, don't bother to look. Because this one is amplified (just as I like it) and caps out in places on the hard rockin' tunes. However, the magnificent phonics are 'spot on'! Put some head phones on, and 'pull a chair in the front row'! Speaking of 'spot on'; so is Todd & Band. This is just wonderful. I love this!

I’m very pleased with the phonics now! There are some channel changes in some of the songs that I couldn’t edit appropriately. And ‘Back In The USSR’ & ‘Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey’ (for some strange reason) suffer and are rough. And Track 30 ‘Cry Baby Cry’ (Joey Molland) is listed, but is missing from ‘JDPeace/Binko/Heywood’s’ Download. ‘JDPeace/Binko/Heywood’ says, “Yeah that's what happens when I get 20 shows at once and have to master all of them in a week. I sometimes miss things. I screwed up the numbering at that point too, so I'm not sure what happened. Whatever it was it's gone now. This is what you get. Honestly I don't think the whole thing was all that good. Christopher Cross had the right voice for what he did, but nobody else did, particularly Rundgren. This is a B...no C-list of former celebrities (other than Rundgren nobody else has done anything of notice for decades, and even Todd is really only famous and topical to his existing fanbase) playing some Beatles tunes for their own enjoyment, but to take it public wasn't really the best decision. Not to mention they're not even that well rehearsed. They screw up a few times, and a couple of them forget the words (doesn't everyone on earth know every nuance of the Beatles vocals by now?)” I doubt we'll get many recordings from this Tour, so this is ESSENTIAL~ Warren Lineage: A Poignant Pros recording by Binko Gear: CA14s > Tascam DR-08 Mastered by }{eywood Lineage: DR-08 (recording to 24/48 .wav) > USB > Adobe Audition 1.5 (EQ, peak limiting, splits & fades) > Xrecode III (conversion to 16/44.1) > TLH (sector alignment, flac 8) |

Note:A Magnicent Audience Recording, except for the fact that it was recorded at very low amplitude. So in order for me to give it some Volume, and bring the highlights up front, many amplitude spikes were created. Not the kind of spikes that you would notice audibly, but for those of you audiophiles; they are quite evident in a spectrum graph. For I took the amplitude to as high as it would go without altering the intregrity of the Track. But you would still want to turn it up! And put some headphones on, and pull up a front seat at the Paramount! This is that good folks! It will take your breath away. The Band nails these tunes! I don't forsee manymore Audience Recordings of this Tour popping up, so I think this is best one/representation of all! And Thank you 'Newfilm', whoever and wherever you are!~ Warren Nice Review on TRC by Garrett Stapleton, that kind of says it all about this Tour; “I attended this concert with mixed emotions. I thought it could be great or a train wreck. Happily I can report it was GREAT! I knew all about TR, MD & CC but didn't recognize Jason Scheff (Chicago) or Joey Molland ( Badfinger). Man was I in for a treat. As everyone knows the band plays the entire White Album. They crushed it! Christopher Cross, Joey Molland & Jason Scheff easily handled the vocals from the McCartney songs. O.H. was the default leader of the band and highlights were WMGGSleeps, HSkelter, Revolution, Sexy Sadie & a humorous take on BBill. Fairly early in the show they had a set of each's two most recognizable songs. Awesome! MD (LTTClarksville, PVSunday); JM (NMWhat, BBlue) Christopher Cross (Sailing, RLTWind); JS (HTSISorry, 25 or 6 to 4) & TR (HIMe, ISTLight). Mickey seemed a little lost out there and Joey Molland was beaming the entire show. Jason Scheff shined vocally, especially on the Chicago numbers. Christopher Cross is extremely under rated. Wonderful guitarist and still posses the strong vocals. The backing musicians were huge contributors. I apologize for not knowing their names but the musical director of the band Rain gave Todd a run for his money on guitar. His riffs were killer! They all seemed to have great fun and the audience was supremely appreciative. Venue was 4/5ths full; not quite sold out but close enough. If you love the Beatles, go see this. You'll be happy you did!” |

Hopefully we’ll probably see him again in a couple of months for Todd’s Tour (if that’s not canceled). And having said that, this is probably one of the last live recordings from 2020 that we’ll get for ‘The Archives’ here for a while, so this is special.

Note:This is kind of neat. Something to get by on, until the World gets back to some sort of normalcy. It's the audio from the YouTube Video by 'fflbrgst' (Mike B). I don't know what set this was, but Kasim was one of the first performances of the series: Saturday, May 23 (12pm and 3pm). And I know the tracks may not be in the right order. I watched the Webcast actually. But there was no way to capture it. It was also simulcast on 91.5 FM in New Hampshire. Maybe someday that will all resurface. But this capture is very good. Some microphone movement and wind, but we get Kasim's angelica vocals. ~ Warren |

Aired February 14 1975) Note:This is probably the best thing I’ve ever done. It is a mix and match 3 CD set of what we call ROIO (Recordings of Independent Origin). All are random selections of Fan audience audio recordings, or amateur audio recordings off Radio Broadcasts and/or Television/Radio Simulcasts. All ‘Done in Fun’ for serious Todd Rundgren Collectors and Enthusiasts. There’s some super rare and priceless stuff here. Never to be sold, nor should profit be made. Our selections are culled from live performances by Todd Rundgren's Utopia (1973 - 1977), or Utopia (1978 - 1985) and intermixed with some Solo w/Friends performance. Represented here are years 1973 through 1989 of Todd’s career (The ‘70s’ and ‘80s’). And technically, none of these have been officially released (yet) or for sanctioned/approved sale on the retail market. I’m kind of proud of this 3 CD set that I’ve put together. Fahrenheit 451 is a non- profit ‘no names’ group of Collectors where a penny is not given, nor taken, for the love of what we do. And don’t we love to share this stuff?! I do not have any rights to, and again, I am not open for sharing any material that we may possess that has been commercially or officially released and is still available retail. I do not take or give any money for a single item either. I do not take away any proceeds that are due to Todd Rundgren, family, friends, business or supporting/associated musicians. If it is ROIO (recording of independent origin), then I'm open to share. Support the artist! Go buy their artistry where and whenever available! Speaking of which; an ultimate legit place to find/buy Todd's releases and imports & rarities is http://www.trbazaar.com/. Check it out! If Scott ain't got it it, nobody does...just about! And of course, many past & present official CD/DVD releases and proprietary Todd merchandise is readily available for ordering on-line at The Toddstore. So check them out for sure @https://www.facebook.com/thetoddstore . And just for what it’s worth, the WhooHooLive Folks are currently ‘in transition’. We’ll keep you posted on them. This not your typical compilation of outtakes, cut outs, rare ‘B’ Sides or alternative takes. Nor is it a greatest hits collection. It’s all ‘live’ audio obscurities. All are ‘grade A’ excellent recordings. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

But this is some wonderful music here. All excellent quality Audio: My first one; 'RUNDGRENS of INDEPENDENT ORIGIN 1973-1989' was probably the finest work I've ever done (http://forum.trconnection.com/viewthread.php?tid=11054#pid193377). So it would be hard to beat (probably can't). But here's another collection that I put together of live Todd ROIO… Recordings of Independent Origin…An old term, us audio collectors use, for not an Official product, but one that was recorded amature from Radio, Web Steam or recorded from the audience, or more importantly, from 'USB Sticks' the soundboard that you could buy after the show. Having said that, there are some tracks (7) here that are now officially released by Todd. However, mine are captures of my very own from live streaming on-line or 'USB Soundboard Sticks', way before the music became official. So these versions would still be 'virgin' before Todd and his organization remixed, edited & released. A perfect example is the 'Daryl's House' stuff. I stripped the audio off YouTube videos that Daryl was offering for free, years ago (long before the DVDs & his Website sundry). There's a few more like this. But I think you get my meaning. I put asterisks by all these seven situations. So basically nothing...Repeat NOTHING, has been taken directly from finished Official released CD or DVD product. I realize that I'm 'pushing the envelope' here, and I do not wish to get into a nuisance for these recordings I share. My caveat on my TRC Webpage (http://trconnection.com/todd/arcd-r) reads: "I do not have any rights to, and I am not open for sharing any material that may be listed below that has been commercially or officially released and is still available retail. (It may be listed below for collection listing purpose only). I do not take or give any money for a single item below either. I do not take away any proceeds that are due to Todd Rundgren, family, friends, business or supporting/associated musicians. If it is ROIO (recording of independent origin), then I'm open to share. Support the artist! Go buy his stuff where and whenever available!" Again, there's some wonderful rare music here. I pushed it to a Disc Four just for excellent Beatles Covers. It's all ESSENTIAL!~ Warren |

Although they are all mp3s and no editing/remastering, what Gail has done here is; audio dub/captured just about ALL the audio of rare videos on YouTube to date (11/29/2017). How can we use it…you ask? Well me, I can always fall back on something I want here, convert it to WAV and modify/Edited it to the quality I need. Thank you Gail Artsgard!~ Warren |

| Date Added:8/24/2019 Track List:1984, 1988, 1990 & 1992 STEVE HARRIS TODD INTERVIEWS Note:Through the 80's and early 90's TR was interviewed four times by Steve Harris of Iron Maiden fame whether he happened to be in the USA or in Japan. Great questions asked and in depth answers. Very well worth listening to from an archival perspective. This first interview was done by Steve Harris on June 17, 1984, just as Todd was conceptualizing the "A Capella" album concept. Our conversation featured the following: . - Why he continues to work with Utopia. - How the Grand Funk Railroad gig led to him being a hotshot producer. - Details regarding production jobs of Hall & Oates, Cheap Trick, The Band, The Tubes. - Is Todd the godfather of the emerging genre of techno-pop? . Todd Rundgren interviewed by Steve Harris on Jan. 23, 1988 in Tokyo, Japan. Includes Todd's thorough and forthright take on the "Skylarking" production wars. . Todd talks about the "Nearly Human" experience in this interview done by Tesshi Ichikawa. Steve Harris interpreted. The interview was done on Jan. 8, 1990 in Tokyo, Japan. . Todd talks about his emerging TR-I identity, the "No World Order" / interactive music concept, his historical involvement with technology, the new connection with hip-hop, the music he had been listening to (pre-fusion jazz and "120 Minutes" on MTV!), etc. The interview was held on Nov. 10, 1992 and Steve Harris interpreted. ~ Istvan |

Note:These are From Bob Stanislowski's (RIP) Collection. These are Soundboards of ALL Todd/Utopia Pre - Midnight Special Television Broadcasts. Apparently Bob had his hands on what he called "Actual Midnight Special Stages Burbank CA Transcripts". He said he got them through 'A Leak' from Burt Sugarman's Company. They are 1st Generation copies of Reel to Reel Canisters. I cannot find my copies of related Documentation actually from "Midnight Special Stages, Burbank, CA, with all the Recording Dates & 'Air dates' and everything. But I WILL. These are legit. Having said all that, there are amplification differences on much of it. But that’s how I got this from Bob. 197312 NBC Burbank Studios, Burbank CA USA TV * NBC The Midnight Special #2.13 / #46 AD 19731207 "Black Maria" "Hello It's Me" 197402 NBC Burbank Studios, Burbank CA USA TV * NBC The Midnight Special #2.22 / #55 AD 19740208 "Couldn't I Just Tell You" "A Dream Goes On Forever" 197412 NBC Burbank Studios, Burbank CA USA TV * NBC The Midnight Special #3.21 / #104 AD 19750214 "Real Man" "Freedom Fighters" "The Seven Rays" "Born To Synthesize" "Do Ya" 19780516 NBC Burbank Studios, Burbank CA USA TV * The Midnight Special #6.37 / #249 AD 19780616 "Can We Still Be Friends" "Bread" 19780808 NBC Burbank Studios, Burbank CA USA TV * The Midnight Special #6.43 / #255 AD 19780825 "Real Man" "You Cried Wolf" "Love In Action" "Sometimes..."
