| 11/1968 | NAZZ ‘FUNGO BAT’ ACETATES | DIGITALIZED BY FRANK BUBNICK | N/A |
| Track List:ALBUM ONE: FORGET ALL ABOUT IT. ONLY ONE WINNER (TODD VOCALS). MAGIC ME. GONNA CRY TODAY. MERIDIAN LEEWARD. UNDER THE ICE. SOME PEOPLE. RAIN RIDER. RESOLUTION (TODD VOCALS). OLD TIME LOVEMAKING. FEATHERBEDDING LOVER. TAKE THE HAND (TODD VOCALS).

LETTERS DONT COUNT. KIDDIE BOY. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. HANG ON PAUL. NOT WRONG LONG.
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 |

Modeliste) Lead Guitars - Jeff Beck (1st solo), Todd Rundgren (2nd solo) Organ - Moogy Klingman Bass - Stu Woods Drums - Roy Markowitz The Free Creek Horns Note: This album was a cavalcade of stars. 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 |

| 1970 | 'THE AMERICAN DREAM' (TR PRODUCED/ENGINEERED) | LP (TRANSFERRED BY SARA KREIGER-Japanese Issue HIROSHI KAWAUCHI) | 71:50 |
| Date Added:2/10/2002 Track List:GOOD NEWS. BIG BROTHER. THE OTHER SIDE. CREDEMPHELS. STORM. CADILLAC. MY BABE. I AINT SEARCHIN'. FUTURE'S FOLLY. I AM YOU. FRANKFORD EL. RASPBERRIES. 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 |

| 1970 | 'GREAT SPECKLED BIRD' | JAPANESE OUT OF PRINT CD | 43:39 |
| Date Added:11/12/2002 Track List:LOVE WHAT YOURE DOING CHILD. CALGARY. TRUCKER'S CAFE. LONG LONG TIME TO GET OLD. FLIES IN THE BOTTLE. BLOODSHOT BEHOLDER. CRAZY ARMS. THIS DREAM. SMILING WINE. 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 it. We think it's one of the seminal country rock albums of all time, leading the way for all followers to flock to Nashville.~ Tony |

| 1970 | 'THE BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND-LIVE' | ROGER STEEL TRANSFER FROM LP | 78:14 |
| Date Added:1/16/2003 Track List:EVERYTHING TO BE ALRIGHT. LOVE DISEASE. THE BOXER. NO AMOUNT OF LOVING. DRIFTIN' AND DRIFTIN'. INTRO OF MUSICIANS. NUMBER NINE. I WANT TO BE WITH YOU. BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN. GET TOGETHER AGAIN. SO FAR, SO GOOD. 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! Thanks for the dub Roger Steel~ Tony |

| 1970 | 'RUNT' THE ALTERNATIVE PRESSING | MINT DUB FROM AN ACTUAL OBSCURE PRESSING | |
| Date Added:3/13/2003 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: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 |

| 1970 | TOMMY COSGROVE ‘ BRETHREN’ | TIFFANY RECORDS (VINYL DUB) | 45:00 |
| Date Added:7/26/2012 Track List:MIDNIGHT TRAIN. DON'T TALK NOW. MISSISSIPPI FREIGHTER (MOOGY CO-WROTE).SUCCESS BRAND OIL. HITCHIN' TO MEMPHIS. EVERYBODY IN THE CONGREGATION. I'VE BEEN PROVIDED FOR. OUTSIDE LOVE. JUST TO BE THERE (MOOGY CO-WROTE). Note:This deserves a place in the archives. Funky stuff! No Todd here. But definetly influenced.Tommy Cosgrove (Guitars/Vocals), Stu Woods (Bass), Dr. John (Piano) and Rick Marotta (drums) were part of that band and released the two lp's: "Brethren" and "Moment of Truth" on Tiffany Records. Dr. John plays keyboards on the first album and Mike Garson on the second (see 1971 entry). 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).~ Warren |

| 1970 | 'WOODYS TRUCK STOP' (NO TR) | DUB FROM STUDIO LP- WARREN | 41:05 |
| Date Added:5/1/2005 Track List:PEOPLE BEEN TALKING. GOT MY PRIDE. EVERYTHING IS FINE. COLOUR SCHEME. CHECKIN ON MY BABY. TRYIN SO HARD. JUST TO BE WITH YOU. ID BE A FOOL. MARBLE REFLECTIONS Note:No Todd, but here is the album that was referred to as the one Paul Fiskin stuck with the band to see through...before he was reunited with Todd in NY w/ Grossman/Ampex...the album shows where Todd maybe would be...you can hear his style rub off on the replacement. 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 |

| 1971 | TOMMY COSGROVE /BRETHREN ‘MOMENT OF TRUTHS’ | TIFFANY RECORDS (VINYL DUB) | 45.00 |
| 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) | TRANSFER FROM VINYL BY ROGER STEEL | 66:41 |
| Date Added:11/15/2002 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 one of the all time Todd collectors, Roger Steel from Cleveland, OH~ Tony "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 |

MAKE IT BETTER. S.S.#4. DO YOU WANT ME. CANT SEEM TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. Note:One of the first Ampex Todd productions in 1971. It's rock, its old, it does have that Todd sound in places...you should hear this one...the band is OK... tunes are pretty good..from Long Island? |

| 7/1/71 | SIGMA SOUND STUDIOS PHILADELPHIA WMMR | FM SOURCE | 63:57 |
| Track List:PRE-BROADCAST BANTER/INTRO. BELIEVE IN ME. LADY ON A TERRACE. I GOT MY PIPE. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. ROCK ALL OVER AGAIN. EVERYBODY IN THE CONGREGATION. BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. TONIGHT I WANT TO LOVE ME STRANGER. OOH BABY BABY. HOLD ME TIGHT (CUTS). BEFORE I GROW TOO OLD. BE NICE TO ME. I'M FEELIN' BETTER. THE BALLAD (DENNY AND JEAN). BONUS TRACK: HOLD ME TIGHT (WHOLE TUNE) Note:AWSOME. This is simply the first ever solo Todd performance broadcast live on Philly Station WMMR. The quality is first rate (our version recorded from Frank Bubnick's best ever quality cassette)and its about time this show made to digital. Hear the premiere recordings of all of these tunes. The same band as Hempstead a year later, but with the Moogy added - promoting the Ballad album. Todd (as was the case in 72) shares the spotlight a bit much, but his guitar is fierce. Sooo... unless someone comes up with a Nazz live tape, this is the first ever live Todd Rundgren show thats out there. The mix was done live by Jim Rowe (who recorded Runt and Ballad of). Jim gave us occassional volume bursts, when Todd played hot lead guitar (for 1971!), but other than that.. wow..this was probably originally from a cassette source as evidenced by the cut during Hold Me Tight...but folks...this is really something special that is preserved here at long last. The bonus track (and post banter) completes the parts that were missed from the best source (and come from the second best source we could find). Upgrade realized one step further from the master reels (thanks to Bob Stanislowski). ESSENTIAL. 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 |

| 1972 | 'THE TODD RUNDGREN RADIO SHOW' - OUT OF PRINT COLLECTORS ITEM/PROMO ONLY. | PROMO VINYL BEARSVILLE PRO 624 | 60:06 |
| 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 |

| 1972 | 'SOMETHING/ANYTHING' ~ STACK O' TRACKS (FORMERLY CALLED THE S/A ACETATES) | PURPORTED TO BE AN ACETATE (CLEANED AND EDITED IN PLACES) | 40:45 |
| Date Added:5/7/2012 Track List:I SAW THE LIGHT. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. WOLFMAN JACK. COLD MORNING LIGHT. IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO. SWEETER MEMORIES. BREATHLESS. 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 |

| 1972 | MARK “MOOGY” KLINGMAN | DIGITAL DUB FROM CAPITOL RECORDS VINYL WARREN | 45:00 |

TONIGHT I WANT TO LOVE ME A STRANGER. THE SUN AND THE MOON. ME AND RICHARD. THE MAN AT EASE. Note:You would have thought Moogy came from New Orleans, after you listened to this Album. Todd is all over this, but he (uncharacteristically for the time/era) does not encourage/affect the mood/style music in any way here. He’s just another session player here. Hard to really find and not in print any more. ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

Even more differences in this than AWATS reel version. Great to hear it in this fashion, and sounds different on almost every tune (not enough to pronounce this is a new version, but the difference is more than subtle on these reels).

It's funny because these Public Service Announcements were just one take/recording. But since Todd was with WB/Bearsville and Flo & Eddie (The Turtles) were with Reprise, they split into two Radio PSAs. The short Flo & Eddie one (with Todd fiddling on piano) is very obscure and only surfaced recently.~ 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! |

| 5/2/72 | HEMPSTEAD NY ULTRASONIC STUDIOS | FM (MASTER) | 56:39 |
| Track List:BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. GEORGIA SWING. OUTSIDE LOVE. PISS AARON. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. I SAW THE LIGHT. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. FEELS SO GOOD TO BE ALIVE (CREEGO). UNKNOWN HELLO PEOPLE SONG (MAD RED ANT LADY?).BLAZE. LADY ON A TERRACE. SLUT. Note:This is an oldie but a goodie that the traders circle have had out there for decades. In studio performance of very good audio quality that my friends at WhoohooLive have taken to 'best'! The Hello People back Todd on (and vice versa) this studio recording from Hempstead May 1972 (60 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 Aaaron' story and the humorous fan favorite SLUT rollicks here! Again, this recording has been around for us for a long long time...But not like this. Re-mastered...This, my fellow Toddheads, is as good as it gets!~ Warren |

| 5/8/72 | RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL NY (w/HELLO PEOPLE) | AUDIENCE | N/A |
| Date Added:4/28/2012 Track List:BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. PISS AARON. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. I SAW THE LIGHT. BAND INTRO. LADY ON A TERRACE. GEORGIA SWING. SLUT. WOLFMAN JACK (DISTORTED) Note:This is a clear upgrade from the version in circulation before. However, dont expect superb sound. This is an old one. The sound does warble/distort as it did on the old one around SLUT. And gets really bad on Wolfman Jack (but we made the decision to leave it on the digital transfer, to show that they did do that one)...sounds like a 'one off'...~ Warren |

GEORGIA SWING.SLUT (ABORTED) Note:From the crowd in what sounds like stereo. The quality is fair, but the songs are really cool. 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)! |

Hmmmmm...Todd makes mention that the Carnigie Hall (6/8/72) show will be filmed? Wouldn't it be nice for us to have that footage!~ Warren |

But a ESSENTIAL have for you and me. Todd obviously hadn't honed in on his 'vocalist' yet here. But still what is captured here is a great document from Todd's early career.~ Warren |

| 7/10/72 | SKANSEN CLUB STOCKHOM SWEDEN | RADIO STOCKHOLM - TRANSFER WARREN | 7:39 |
| Date Added:5/7/2012 Track List:ANNOUNCER. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. ANNOUNCER & TODD/I SAW THE LIGHT. 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 |

| 1973 | FANNY - 'MOTHERS PRIDE' | LP (TRANSFERRED BY SHUBABY) | 45:13 |
| Date Added:8/23/2001 Track List:LAST MIGHT I HAD A DREAM. LONG ROAD HOME. OLD HAT. SOLID GOLD. IS IT REALLY YOU. ALL MINE. SUMMER SONG. POLECAT BLUES. BESIDE MYSELF. REGULAR GUY. I NEED YOU NEED ME. FEELINGS. IM SATISFIED. Note:Shubaby does the trick with a great vinyl to cd transfer of the Todd produced gal-pseudo heavy band from the blue hair days. This is different. 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. |

| 1973 | M. FROG | LP TRANSFER BY SANDRA | 39:28 |
| Track List:WE ARE CRAZY. CHAMPEGARPAEN. TAKATYKITAKITE. SUCKLING-PIGS GAME. BROUSHNEIK. AMPHIBIAN CHAFF. WE ARE CRAZY (INSTRUMENTAL). HEY LITTLE LADY. MONKEY PEOPLE. 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. |

| 1973 | 'A WIZARD A TRUE STAR' - REEL TO REEL TAPE | JON RISEN REEL TO REEL TRANSFER | 55:43 |
| Date Added:11/13/2006 Track List:THE WHOLE OF AWATS FROM REEL TO REEL TAPE Note:Thanks to Jon (Mojo) and Jeff Gauss (Weavil) for getting this to us. 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 |

| 5/3/73 | C.W. POST UNIVERSITY NEW YORK | AUDIENCE- TRANSFER BY TONY. EDIT BY BUBNICK/RUSSO | 71:07 |
| Date Added:4/27/2012 Track List:INTRO/UTOPIA THEME. BLACK MARIA. INTERNATIONAL FEEL. NEVER NEVER LAND. TIC TIC TIC IT WEARS OFF. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. SUNSET BLVD. UNKNOWN INSTRUMENTAL/DRUM SOLO. WE ARE CRAZY. MEDLEY OF HITS. DEVIL'S BITE/HEAVY METAL KIDS. UTOPIA THEME (REPRISE). BROKE DOWN & BUSTED (only on Frank Bubnick's version) Note:Only recording known of the very first Utopia line-up. 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 is really not all that bad! ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

| 11/8/73 | ATLANTA FOX THEATER | FM LP SOURCE | N/A |
| Track List:UTOPIA THEME. DON'T YOU EVER LEARN. EVERYBODY'S GOING TO HEAVEN/KING KONG REGGAE. SONS OF 1984. OPEN MY EYES. BLACK MARIA. THE LAST RIDE. SLUT.COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. Note:From DJ Promo Copy - Not For Sale vinyl w/o any groove noise - a classic from Warren's vaults. 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. ESSENTIAL~ Tony * We also have a well edited/remastered piece by my Friends at WhoohooLive with Meg Griffin's (the announcer) comments omitted. Just the music all sewn together as if the actual performance order. ESSENTIAL! ~ Warren |

| Track List:I SAW THE LIGHT. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. PISS AARON. LORD CHANCELLOR'S NIGHTMARE SONG. HELLO, IT'S ME. UTOPIA THEME. BLACK MARIA. HUNGRY FOR LOVE. THE IKON (SEGMENTS). Note:I think everything's already been said about this famous recording. Just an excellent broadcast from way back when. Performed on Cincinnati's WKRQ FM Radio from Counterpart Studios just three days after Todd Rundgren's Utopia's widely acclaimed showing in Atlanta, GA. Excellent quality from original vinyl transcript. ESSENTIAL |

| 11/12/73 | THE AGORA COLUMBUS OH | RADIO WNCI FM 98 BROADCAST - CLEANED, EDITED, TRANSFERRED BY PAUL RUSSO | 56:29 |
| Date Added:8/21/2012 Track List:UTOPIA THEME. DON'T YOU EVER LEARN. IKON EXCERPT. BLACK MARIA. SUNSET BLVD. IKON EXCERPT. NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. IS IT MY NAME. HUNGRY FOR LOVE. 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 |

A DREAM GOES FOREVER. LORD CHANCELLOR'S NIGHTMARE SONG. HELLO, IT'S ME. PISS AARON. WAILING WALL. LE FEEL INTERNACIONALE. UTOPIA THEME. DON'T YOU EVER LEARN? THE IKON (SEGMENT). BLACK MARIA. CD TWO: SUNSET BLVD. THE IKON (SEGMENT). NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. IS IT MY NAME?. UNKNOWN INSTRUMENTAL. HUNGRY FOR LOVE. THE IKON (SEGMENT)/BASS SOLO/DRUM SOLO. JUST ONE VICTORY. DANCING IN THE STREETS Note:After Frank Bubnick was done with this one, it is probably the best audience recording from the 1973 'floor show' (The first set being Todd performing with taped background music), then an intermission followed by the lenghthy banded Utopia set... in all it's glory and light show. 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! |

LORD CHANCELLOR'S NIGHTMARE SONG. HELLO IT'S ME. PISS AARON. WAILING WALL. HEAVY METAL KIDS. LE FEEL INTERNACIONALE. UTOPIA THEME. DISC TWO: BLACK MARIA. SUNSET BLVD. THE IKON. NO. 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR . IS IT MY NAME. Note:Overall a nice show. Some different turns in the set which is nice. Paul Russo did the EQ/editing with the Frank Bubnick masters. Too bad we don't have the entire performance (the encores). This is a mighty fine audience recording. ESSENTIAL of course~ Warren |

| Date Added:8/21/2012 Track List:NO. 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR Note:Very good audience recording (after Bubnick tweeked it) for 39 years ago. This one track only. It cuts immediately after a couple of seconds of Is It My Name. But we get the whole tune in all it's glory. Todd's guitar very much out front here. Vocals a little 'concert hallish' but instruments very clear. Wish we had more of this Cincinnati show. Anybody? ESSENTIAL for true collectors.~ Warren |

A DREAM GOES FOREVER. LORD CHANCELLOR'S NIGHTMARE SONG. HELLO ITS ME. PISS AARON.HEAVY METAL KIDS. LE FEEL INTERNCIONALE. CD TWO: WARM UP. UTOPIA THEME. BLACK MARIA. SUNSET BLVD. THE IKON (EXCERPT). NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMIONATOR. IS IT MY NAME. TECH PROBLEMS. HUNGRY FOR LOVE. THE IKON EXCERPT (CUTS) Note:Another triumph in collaberation with Frank and Paul. This is a very strong audience tape from this era when The Ikon was still a bunch of smaller pieces. Onliest thing is; Todd's voice is 'blown out'. But a real delight to hear Long Flowing Robe. Again, this would probably be the best audience quality recording we have from this 1973 leg, if not for Todd's voice being so shot.~ Warren |

Note:Very VERY good audio dub from the Midnight Special Show which aired 12/7/73...you know, the famous one with the 'Peacock Feathers' (smile). Be Be Buell calls it the 'Maneating Peacock' costume. 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 |

| 1974 | THE HELLO PEOPLE - HANDSOME DEVILS | LP/VINYL (TRANSFER - JON RISEN) | 40:04 |
| Date Added:5/4/2012 Track List:FUTURE SHOCK. FINGER POPPIN TIME. TAKE THE LOVE ON YOUR BODY. DESTINY. RIPPED AGAIN. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART. CREEGO. CRY BABY. JUST ONE VICTORY. HOW HIGH IS THE MOON. SAVE A DANCE FOR ME Note:One of the classic Todd 74 productions from the old defunct ABC label brought back from the dead by Jon Risen. Super transfer from super clean vinyl. 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) |

| 1974 | THE 'banded' IKON (and other Toddities) | LPS, EP, STUDIO (TRANSFERS BY FRANK BUBNICK, JON RISEN, LARRY CLARK & RON NAPOLI) | 75:17 |
| Date Added:5/4/2012 Track List:INTERVIEW 1974 WITH TODD, THE IKON (TRACKS 2-8, BANDED), VOTER 1972 AD WITH TODD, VOTER AD 1972 TODD WITH FLO AND EDDIE #I, VOTER 72 AD W/ FLO/EDDIE #2, 1978 CONVERSATION WITH TODD AND PATTI SMITH, IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE (BTTB EDITED "45" VERSION), WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN (WHITE LABEL PROMO AWATS VERSION WITH "BLEEPS"), WANT OF A NAIL (SINGLE VERSION EDITED), INTERVIEW ABOUT WANT OF A NAIL (FROM PROMO CD SINGLE) Note:What, you say, is the 'banded' Ikon? It is the Ikon, in all its splender, cut into FM radio playable sections, each of which has a central theme of some sort chronologically thru 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 |

IM WATCHING YOU (A MUTANT ROMANCE). BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK. SCREAMING THROUGH DECEMBER. JOHNNY GORE AND THE C EATERS Note:This is a touchy one, in that I'm sure at this time, it's out of print. As soon as its back in, I'll remove it. Roger Steel did this (and a group of classics to come for us). His contribution is huge, and cannot be overstated. 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 |

CD TWO: SUNSET BLVD. THE LAST RIDE. NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. IS IT MY NAME?. THE IKON (CUTS) Note:This, to my ears, is superior (slightly) to the good sound of Detroit 11/13/73 (that is the first set of Todd performing to the soundtracks). The guitar playing is excellent, but you don't quite get the whole show. These shows are hurting as far as a lack of boards during this period go, but this is not bad. I got mine from Aronson, which I believe is the best surviving copy.~ Tony Rogers |

THE IKON (CUTS) Note:All evidence shows us that the correct date of this is 4/2/74. This is the overlooked (until now) and the much debated KC 74 which sounds comparable to the Fall '75 shows. Second set of the two set shows. Ikon is letter perfect and played almost note for note identical to the album version. Was the eyeball album still being tinkered with or what?..and there are no vocals on the tune. Todd announces they'd not done it before.. sound is pretty strong. Peformance instrumentally is stunning..this may be as tight as they ever got in the BIG UNIT. I feel its the best perfomed version of the Ikon (mistake and tight-wise...40+ min)... Anyhow, another reason this show is weird is because of is It My Name?....the tune was part of '73 but not frequent at all in '74...strange.~ Tony |

COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU (CUTS OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER TRACK). Note:This for the serious ToddHead only, I guess (and that would be me). I've transferred most of these obscure 70s audience cassettes to digital. And our friend Joe Franks has put a different tweek on this particular one. Very listenable recording it is. Joe took it from a mono recording to a sort of mono/stereo. Longer story shorter: It's very much worth the listen. We've all heard these sets in other shows, but this one has particular energy in the first solo set …and then the 'band’ is great if just for the full Ikon. The Los Angeles Area crowd goes wild for Todd. The taper yaps a little bit and introduces himself (John Rude?) during It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference & again during Don't You Ever Learn. But Piss Aaron is particularly good and the whole show is a priceless performance. Thanks Joe, for another tweek!~ Warren |

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 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,coverted 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 |

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! Essential |

| 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” |

Ain't that a great problem to have? A combination of the best out of both, really makes this a masterpiece.The performance is such a keeper for the fact that it is the 'Premier'...the 'opening date' for Utopia's first UK/European Tour. Willie had replaced Kevin long before this, but Ralph Schuckett & Moogy Klingman quit the band just before this tour. Which left Roger doing ALL the keyboard parts. And he was magnificent. A great horn performance from him as well. This show also includes an early version Black & White. So much thanks goes out to my buddies Istvan & Joe. Magicians!~ Warren |

What can I say, but the sound quality is crystal and the performance is incredible. ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL and thank you Istvan.~ Warren |

Note:Thanks to euro superfan Istvan for some more of his great work-a great clean up on this passed around tape from old days-evidently Istavan was the taper so this is as good as you can get-not perfect. 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. |

Note:Partial show broadcast (poorly )on French FM. John Siegler tells the story of this show in that the lights and PA were tied into the same system. If they moved the lights, it would effect the sound (and viceversa). So the lights stayed in one position the whole show. "Very erie feel..", John said.

HEAVY METAL KIDS. OPEN MY EYES. SONS OF 1984. DO YA. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ONE VICTORY Note:This one was remastered by Frank Bubnick. Really nice audience recording! I'm thinking it's the best of what we have from 1975 (audience recordings)...a wee better than Den Haag. A complete version of Fair Warning starts off Disc 2. At this point Utopia was a four piece Band (Todd, Willie, Roger & Siegler). Actually this line-up appeared in Atlanta when I saw them in November 26th 1975. Very soon after this show, they would record Disco Jets with Seigler, and then the "new Utopia" era would begin as Kazim would soon arrive on the scene (on a greyhound bus he took to Lake Hill from Staten Island).~ 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 |

JUST ONE VICTORY. 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!~ 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! |

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.

These intro tunes would be nice to turn up on a rarities collection (thanks to Kazim for including it on his 'Quid' release as a hidden track - Love Reunion). 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 |

Some of the on-line retail houses have it.~ Warren |

UNCHAINED MELODY. WNEW JINGLE. WHO WROTE THE BOOK OF LOVE?. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. BREAD, DONT YOU EVER LEARN?. DUST IN THE WIND. THE VERB "TO LOVE". CD TWO: A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. IM SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY/LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU/I SAW THE LIGHT. EASTERN INTRIGUE. INITIATION. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. HANG ON SLOOPY. OUTRO/WNEW. 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 |

INITIATION. HELLO ITS ME (CUTS IN). JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:I dont know at this point what is what... considering all the ones out on the Japan label and the sdbs that have made it out...one day someone will sit down and try to distinguish these recordings- I dont doubt this date as it is valid, but theres a lot of these out there, and I would like to think we'e got em all close to covered by now...in my opinion, one of the very best sets of music he's ever done, and some of the core central shows of Todddom....Bread is really a cooker on here...Dust fades at the solo but what a nice addition to the scene...great find Istvan!!~ Tony |

LATE SHOW: INTROS/HELLO IT'S ME. LOVE IS THE ANSWER Note:Take a trip back to 1978 and you have tickets for both shows. Great sounding board show (another Bubnick/Russo ehanced gem). We know the Japanese release 'begged' from this, but this is a must have for the 'seriously into it' in 1978 (of which we are old enough to remember well)...~ Tony & Warren ESSENTIAL |

BREAD TAKE 3. Note:Here's what a couple of you asked for. The obscure 'Midnight Special Takes'. Very interesting to say the least. You can hear the MC trying to keep the studio audience silent for 'preparations' and then directs them to applause at just the right moments! This is from 1st Generation reel (reel to reel canister)! ESSENTIAL~ Warren |

IM SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY/LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU/I SAW THE LIGHT. EASTERN INTRIGUE. INITIATION. DETERMINATION. HELLO ITS ME. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:A one of a kind document for sure..we think this is one of the shows that ended up having tracks on the Japanese Nippon Series...Sound is yappy but is very nice at times... great in fact for an 1978 audience tape...a really nice You Cried Wolf...some zipper cuts at end of Determination (which is pretty nice but the backgrounds dont quite make it)...a huge hole in the center of Initiation..the tune is just not meant to be played with a grand piano as the only keyboard..it misses Roger bad - not Moogy's fault though, he does very well..just not suited to the piano trio concept - its far too complicated for that..great great show..and decent audie of it. Thanks Gil for capturing it!~ Warren |

IM SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY/LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU/I SAW THE LIGHT. EASTERN INTRIGUE. INITIATION. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. HELLO ITS ME. HANG ON SLOOPY. SHES GONE. JUST ONE VICTORY. 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 |

Note:This was acquired from John Pellerito and is surprisingly low on the yap factor being an NYC show. The sound is decent for an audience recording and presents the usual BTTB set with Utopia- you can tell the band is up for it and the sound is also surprisingly not that distant.~ Tony |

THE VERB TO LOVE. HELLO IT'S ME. SEVEN RAYS. Note:This one is pretty awsome. But whoever tracked it from it's original sourge did some fade outs and fade ins...and there is a megasecond of silence between tracks (once mp3s at some point?)~ Warren |

| 8/25/78 | "LOOKING AT US" CHICAGO PARK WEST (LP SLEEVE SAYS PHILADELPHIA) | OLD BOOTLEG VINYL (DIGITAL TRANSFER WARREN) | 51:13 |
| Date Added:9/23/2012 Track List:BROTHER JOAN (TRAPPED). BAD LUCK CITY (ABANDON CITY). LOOKING FOR A LOVE (THE VERB TO LOVE). SEVEN RAYS (THE SEVEN RAYS). CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. DAY OF THE ROCK N' ROLL (DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL). FUNKY DETROIT MADNESS (YOU CRIED WOLF). CAN'T BE SATISFIED (GANGRENE). MY DREAM LIVES ON FOREVER (A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER). 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 |

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. YOU CRIED. GANGRENE. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. BLACK MARIA CD TWO: EASTERN INTRIGUE. INITIATION. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. HELLO ITS ME. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:As any fan knows, this tour damn near yielded great FM broadcasts in every city they hit. 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 |

THE DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. BLACK AND WHITE. EASTERN INTRIGUE. INITIATION. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. Note:A nameless Fan sent this to me. 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 |

DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. YOU CRIED WOLF. GANGRENE. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. BLACK MARIA Note:This is a bootleg CD- which means someone did the thing themselves, makes it look like official product and then sells it for cash with no money going to the artist...not a good thing. 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, but I have absolutely nothing to do with it.~ Tony |

Note:Tattered old Broadcast form the BTTB tour, brought back to life by Hiroshi. This is one that sound quality is limited due to the source, but a great performance. Roger was just back from the Bowie tour and he lets loose with some inspired soloing..an amazing Seven Rays...crowd is crazed and loud...this was the Utopia show of my youth. Love this era. Thanks to Hiroshi and hours of work to preserve the old stuff.~ Tony |

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 |

ALL REVED UP (WITH MEATLOAF). JOHNNY B GOODE (W/ MEATLOAF). POST CONCERT INTERVIEW. HANG ON SLOOPY (KBFH LATE SHOW). JUST ONE VICTORY (KBFH LATE SHOW). Note:This CD is from the WNEW FM broadcast of the first show. Some problems appear from someone on a CB or other source interferring occasionally onto the Bcast line..the KBFH was broadcast as a compilation of both early and late shows and Rick Derringer guests on the last 2 tunes. Sound is worth it. We have an Hiroshi verison which has a WNEW interview at front of it that happened before the show. 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 |

THE SEVEN RAYS. CD TWO: LOVE ALONE. GANGRENE. BLACK MARIA. THE DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. LOVE IN ACTION. FREEDOM FIGHTERS. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. ROCK LOVE. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. Note:Great performance, but sound quality approximates what they sounded like on a cassette recorder circa '79 with some yap at the front. But what a performance. They were charged up for it. 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 |

| 1980 | SHAWN CASSIDY- 'WASP' | LP SOURCE (TRANSFER BY T STORM HUNTER) | 41:41 |
| Date Added:3/25/2001 Track List:REBEL REBEL. COOL FIRE. THE BOOK I READ. PRETENDING. SHAKE ME, WAKE ME. ITS MY LIFE. SO SAD ABOUT US. WASP. SELFLESS LOVE. 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 |

BONUS TRACKS: 6/7/80 UTOPIA INTERVIEW WLIR LONG ISLAND. 3/18/80 CHICAGO WXRT INTERVIEW TODD AND WILLIE Note:Jon helps us out by doing a great transfer from vinyl of the old KBFH show from 1980. The show is edited for b-cast and a curious selection (ending up with Gangrene. "...Y'all ready to rock and roll...1,2,3,4...". One day we'll do a CD of Willie's different variations of this that went on for years...). As for the bonus tracks, Long Island has Just Wanna Touch You debut (cant tell if its a different version than Deface or not)...movie talk, Robbie Dupree, Band seems very satisfied - Spectrum show cited...in Chi-town, program content of the Utopia TV show is somewhat revealed... early fascinating talk of the future of video in 1980. Todd pretty much envisions whats happening NOW all the way back then...strong sales of lp... Whats most interesting is the rap about how much democracy existed then in Utopia. Super.~ Tony |

LOVE ALONE. TODD SOLO MEDLEY. BAG LADY. CLICHE' CD TWO: UTOPIA MEDLEY. JUST ON VICTORY. 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. |

CLICHE'. UTOPIA MEDLEY. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ONE VICTORY. BONUS TRACK: 4/19/80 INTERVIEW AT SPECTRUM Note:This is as big as they ever got. Sold out Spectrum in Philly. 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 |

Note:Mark gave us this recording long ago, We think was captured from the wireless signal- you can hear some backing sound of other music very faintly and some poofing. What is special about this is that, it sounds decent, and has Love Is the Answer which as Todd explains; they will play on Mike Douglas the next day. Bolero is strong - Utopia medley is also cooking. Nice one to have.~ 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 |

EVERYBODY ELSE IS WRONG. I SAW THE LIGHT. TRAPPED. LAST OF THE NEW WAVE RIDERS Note:This is of unknown source-actually could be radio-the reason for this is that they're were so few out there. 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 |

This show was also filmed for the 'Camoflauge' video "Utopia Live At The Royal Oak". A classic. Sound is good. And the film's audio missing pieces are included here too. Ya gotta love the pre-intro story to Lysistrata... priceless. The DVD is available through Scott at TRBAZAAR . A good buy~ Tony & Warren |

COULDN’T I JUST TELL YOU. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Hiroshi & Joe have done wonders with this always intriguing, but frustrating, soundboard that we've had for years – volume changes warble the first three tunes and hiss had plagued this but, it has been given new life by these two seperate treatments. 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 bass does distort, but there is amazing clarity in this old great audience recording. Strange up until Lowest Common Denominator- then the set really kicks into gear by Disc 2. Highlights: Crazy Lady Blue, Healer, Caravan, New Wave Riders, Last Dollar...just a nice, nice overlooked recording from this pre-Swing tour. |

This show has a great setlist - pre-release Swing To The Right, but all of 'em are there...The band was hot as hell then, and hear how slow they play Caravan...cool angle. We also get a never before heard REO Speedwagon razzing before Cliche... "They're imitating, making fun of us..." Todd actually sings some of "...Heard it from a friend who..."

Bonus tracks are from the '82 unknown soundboard soundcheck of Todd playing piano and warming up for another evenings show. We think this tape may have been originally recorded by Mark Wilpolt.

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 deal of talk and hecklers but not enough to be a distraction.~ Tony |

HANG ON SLOOPY Note:This is one of Frank Bubnick's collection which was edited enhanced and prepared by Paul Russo. 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 |

JUST A LITTLE BIT. BACK ON THE STREET. THE UP. SET ME FREE. ROCK AND ROLL LOVE ALONE. Note:The infamous '82 broadcast of the Kasim Sultan Band after he left Utopia (temporaily). 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: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 |

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 |

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 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 |

ITCH IN MY BRAIN/LOVE WITH A THINKER. IM LOOKING AT YOU BUT IM TALKING TO MYSELF. YOU MAKE ME CRAZY. SWING TO THE RIGHT. THE VERY LAST TIME. TRAPPED CD TWO: ROAD TO UTOPIA. CARAVAN. 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 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 |

LORD CHANCELLOR'S NIGHTMARE SONG. BAD LADY. DRUNKEN BLUE ROOSTER. I'M SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY/LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU/I SAW THE LIGHT. ONE WORLD.THE WHEEL. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. BONUS: BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAY (from this audience tape but unbearable to listen to. You don't want this bonus~ 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 |

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAY. IM SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY/LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU/I SAW THE LIGHT. MIGHTY LOVE. SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON. REAL MAN. 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 |

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.

| Track List:INTRO. PLAY THIS GAME. CLICHE'. TOO FAR GONE. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. SONG OF THE VIKING. THE SMELL OF MONEY. ONE WORLD. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. JUST ONE VICTORY. 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 |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. Note:Larry Clark gives us this great lost solo 2 niter in best ever heard condition. Todd talks about whats going on at the time...new LP soon, extra proud of it, and Utopia hiatus from the stage. Super sound for an old board-it seems the nights may be reversed, if you listen to the banter...either way, this is a tremendous find, and is a good idea of all the tunes played on this tour before the man.~ Tony ESSENTIAL |

| 8/8/87 | NEW GEORGE'S SAN RAFAEL CA | DUB FROM THE VIDEO | |
| Date Added:4/3/2002 Track List:CD ONE: LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. PLAY THIS GAME. TOO FAR GONE. SONG OF THE VIKING. MATED. LOVE IN ACTION. COMPUTER ROCK. DONT YOU EVER LEARN?. THE BALLAD. HAMMER IN MY HEART. MYSTIFIED. BAD LITTLE ACTRESS. CD TWO: COMPUTER COUNTRY. COVERS. LOST HORIZON. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. DRIVE. ONE WORLD. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. THE WHEEL. JUST ONE VICTORY. Note:Yes, this is known as the 'drunk show'. But you can see/hear that although Todd was intent on drinking a lot, it really didnt wreck the performance as much as the 1986 Chicago show. Todd does get an incredibly persisent hiccup problem (especially on the Wheel where he laughs through the tune). The sound is strong performance. Ye it was alcohol enhanced, but decent. Inspiration benefits from his looseness. Mystified here by himself was ultra rare and Bad Little Actress, which is sloppy but inspired (too many chord changes, too fast for the liquor). Mated is ragged as well. Yet another great 1987 show that sounds real nice and has a few surprises as well. Many say that he was even cute during this performance~ Tony & Warren |

NASHVILLE JAM. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. DRIVE *. ONE WORLD. LOVE IS THE ANSWER *. THE WHEEL. JUST ONE VICTORY *. Note:Lost in my partner’s (Jeff ‘Weavil’) vaults until now. Jeff says: “(* indicates the computer band plays on that track.). This gem of a solo show from the month-long Rhino Promo Tour came from Smashmark in NYC. 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" |

The old 12 string at start for THere Goes My Inspiration and LOTCM....fast fast dynmaic dynamo version of Hammer..electric piano graces these tunes and they all sound a bit different..great treat for I Saw The Light on piano..some minor flubs at start of CWSBF. Todd changes keyboards to a synth for the 'la-la-la' part of the song...vocals are a high ratio to instrument...a gem...another great one from this underappreciated tour~ Tony |

| 11/2/88 | THE 'FEEL IT' SESSIONS BERKELEY FANTASY STUDIOS | STUDIO LEAK RECORDING | 54:12/31:02 |
| Date Added:2/25/2002 Track List:CD ONE: 2 TRACKS (INCL THE MOOD ALTERED TAKE). CD TWO: POST SESSION RAP W/ VINCE WELNICK! Note:This is one that we have mixed feeling about sharing, but it nevertheless is invaluable, because it is a recording from a handheld recorder (so quality varies) lucky enough to get into the session. 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 Todds rap throughout. Although his company occassionaly 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.~ Tony. This has made it's way out into the web world, so please be descreet 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.

CD THREE: I LOVE MY LIFE. Note:The mother of all Nearly Human shows - the last and longest and with the final monologues that grew as the tour grew on. Sound is super. Triumphant-our hero has kicked ass across the US and Japan, and finally gets a couple months rest before the 'write on the run' sessions, known as Second Wind, would start up in June when WB was hungry for a follow-up. ESSENTIAL~ Tony |

IF I HAVE TO BE ALONE. PUBLIC SERVANT. Note:Wonderful run thru of 2nd Wind stuff on the eve of the tour leading to the pfa. 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 |

Balance is pretty nice, and lots of guests this night: Urbano, Randy, Rex, Liv, Michelle-…a real family affair...talk about the baseball games at that stage....hear Todd working out the end adlibs on Change Myself...If I Have To Be Alone is as amazing as 6/29...remarkable...we get The Wheel instead of Jesse, because Todd’s kids are there...Todd is on guitar fire on Unloved Children…much mistakes in Kindness...Love In Action is not on the tour, so enjoy...Todd does; "…Where do we go...Where do we go now...(GNR)"...adlibs on Gaya’s Eyes ( very different than the CD version)...Prairie kicks 2nd Wind through the roof…great snare rolls...all guests sing on Want of a Nail...great stuff!~ Tony |

As you remember, they took it on the road in CA. and arrived a few weeks later recording the album before an audience. Super clean as a pin. This is on par with the Ventura (and the other sdbds) from Nearly Human/2nd Wind tour - not much hiss at all - Paul and Frank did it just right. ESSENTIAL.~ Tony |

LOST HORIZON/WHATS GOING ON/MERCY MERCY ME/I WANT YOU/LOST HORIZON/FEEL IT. CD TWO: ROCK LOVE. HELLO ITS ME. PUBLIC SERVANT. 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 |

He's really provided great quantities of top notch stuff for which we will always be grateful....bit of fluff at the start...Todd acknowledges his Mommy's Bday onstage - both A Cappellas nice this night...Jesse has an unusually rough time with Can't Stop Running...some caramel stuff going on, loss of highs on Lost Horizon till about 1:10...this is a vocal heavy mix...Feel It is blissful....this is a sharp contrast to the newer Jesse...Jesse is high in this mix...if you’re a Gress fan, as I am...This one is for you....some distorted sounds here, but all in all, a nice one, and long as well...~ Tony |

JESSE (Version 2 complete w/all comments). ONE WORLD (SOUNDBOARD EXCERPT - NOT PART OF THE FM BROADCAST) Note:Radio station actually broadcast Jessie in all it's glory- dont know if they got fined or not, but what a cool night- just shortly after this Reebop was born. 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 |

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). |

Not a board, and does have some yap at a spot or two but it's the best...a landmark show. ~ 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 |

| Date Added:7/16/2012 Track List:INTRO. PROACTIVITY. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. BLACK & WHITE. WORD MADE FLESH. PULSE. NO WORLD ORDER (CUTS OUT) Note:Last day of the Woodstock II event.

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 |

Note:This is one of the most prized interviews ever done on Todd... and ranks up there with Radio Clyde, Mark Steinberg and the XM Radio 2005 interviews... As deep and informative as it gets...the interviewer gets his money's worth and much more...find out where Todd is at in 1994...this is an alltimer here and ranks among the most and best interviews ever....this is ESSENTIAL to everyones collection of Todd stuff.

Note:From a long 3 FM tape set from Denmark, spotlighting TR's music throughout his career in Dutch... within this, the above portions of the Euro-NWO show were taped for rebroadcast. this is the best quality you will get of Dont You Ever Learn and If I Didn't Try on this tour... Cliche' is shimmering..as well as all the acoustic songs. His guitar playing on DYEL and IIDT is dead on and innovative as hell. Too bad it was edited some. ESSENTIAL |

HAMMER IN MY HEART. BELOVED INFIDEL. THE INDIVIDUALIST. CD TWO: TEMPORARY SANITY. CAST THE FIRST STONE. FASCIST CHRIST. IF NOT NOW, WHEN?. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. 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 |

MYSTFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. IF NOT NOW, WHEN? CD TWO: BLACK MARIA. CAST THE FIRST STONE. FASCIST CHRIST (BARELY CUTS IN). 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 |

CD TWO: FASCIST CHRIST. TABLES WILL TURN. WOMANS WORLD.MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. IF NOT NOW, WHEN?. BLACK MARIA. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. 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 |

CD TWO: THE INDIVIDUALIST. BLACK MARIA. ONE WORLD. TEMPORARY SANITY. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. THE WHEEL. Note:Joe’s audience recording...some yap is here but not bad for Cleveland. 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 |

FEEL IT. HIGHER AND HIGHER. NO1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY CD TWO: ONE WORLD. ENDING SPEECH. 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 |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY (CUTS IN-MOSTLY NOT HERE) Note:I think I got this tape from Joel a bit back...it has some cuts and has some house mix issues where the leads are sometimes buried but it is as clear of a recording as was possible then...this is pps night- hes all over the place from the start- building up polyrthymic tension and release all over the solos..Much in a style almost approaching Vince Colauita of Zappa on his guitar solo albums...just in the zone...bang is a joke ad hoc thing.....this was more loose than the 95 dates and more notes were played-the material was familiar to all involved..Sounds great but house mix at the point of recording is sometimes severely unbalanced (can't hear some leads at all)~ Tony |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. Note:This show was transferred because the quality of it is superb but the vocal performance was suffering. 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 |

Note:Sounds very good and was probably coverted files from the liveconcerts.com broadcast. A great representation (like a board) of this tour. as you know, this was the tour when Todd started to dread the piano (some nights good, some bad). This aint too bad.

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 |

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 |

Not as great as the Cali CDs. sometimes can’t hear Todd - sounds to me like it was taped from a side balcony job. Decent sound- vocs are clear but the instruments definitely coming out in stereo, so this mix is different, but still decent to hear for those who like this tour (I confess, I don’t at all).~ 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: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 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 |

THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. LOVE IN ACTION END. CLICHE'. BANG THE UKE DAILY. CD TWO: MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. HAMMER IN MY HEART. NO1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. 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 |

| 7/8/00 | ATLANTIC CITY TRUMP'S TAJ MAHAL XANADU ROOM | AUDIENCE(MINI -DISC) | 59:49/45:09 |
| Track List:CD ONE: I HATE MY FRICKIN ISP. PLAY THIS GAME. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. NO. 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. LOVE IN ACTION. SECRET SOCIETY. HAMMER IN MY HEART. BLACK AND WHITE. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. BANG ON THE UKE DAILY. CD TWO: TEMPORARY SANITY. TRAPPED. YER FAST. BUFFALO GRASS. ONE WORLD. THE IKON. 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. |

| 7/12/00 | MONTREAUX JAZZ FESTIVAL W/ BB KING | FM? ISTVAN | 57:51 |
| Date Added:4/6/2006 Track List:3 TRACKS BLUES JAMS INCL EVERDAY I GET THE BLUES Note:This is one that Todd told me about in Dallas in 2003- I had heard a blurb about it but didn’t know what was up- this was post Power Trio guys...evidently, the Runt and his bride trekked off a few times recently to this event at the invite of the head of the whole thing-this was a blues jam-Todd told me the thought he sucked as they handed him a gtr and pushed him out on stage..well, the part about sucking was WRONG...he does acquit himself very well against these jazz and blues greats...and BB is very cordial and respectful....the cast include: Joe Sample, George Duke (former Zappa cohort), Clarence Gatemouth brown, Shamika Copeland (a modern blues gal vocalist)and our hero, Todd...This CD is punctuated every 5 min or so by a voice that says ..."Montreaux jazz life (or lite)"...later David Sanborn joins the gang...the music is pretty boring as most jams are with bb constantly peppering the solos with (to the audience): I CANT HEAR YOU!!!...I loved that part about it...in a perverse way...but all in all, I was very pleasantly surprised to see Todd play very well in the company of such esteemed artists, he was obviously being humble in his original portrayal of the event...Nice memento...~ Tony |

| 8/5/00 | PITTSBURGH THREE RIVERS REGATTA POINT STATE PARK | AUDIENCE(MINI-DISC) | 46:10/46:00 |
| Track List:CD ONE: I HATE MY FRICKIN ISP. COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. LOVE IN ACTION. FIX YOUR GAZE. HAMMER IN MY HEART. TINY DEMONS. 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 |

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. |

EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY. REVOLUTION. DAY TRIPPER. TICKET TO RIDE. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. HEY JUDE. BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT. THE END. 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") |

| 7/4/01 | KENOSHA WI PRIVATE PARTY W/TODD AT CATHY LEE B'S HOME | DIRECT FROM THE 'DECK'! | 68:21 |

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 |

EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY. REVOLUTION. DAY TRIPPER. TICKET TO RIDE. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. HEY JUDE. BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT. THE END. 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.~ 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..

| 7/27/01 | A WALK DOWN ABBEY ROAD SEWELL NJ | AUDIENCE | 67:37/77:32 |
| Date Added:10/7/2003 Track List:CD ONE: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. OPEN MY EYES. EYE IN THE SKY. CRAZY ON YOU. MY WIFE. HELLO ITS ME. DONT ANSWER ME. THE BIGGEST PART OF ME. THATS HOW MKUCH I FEEL. BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY. THE REAL ME. DREAMBOAT ANNIE. GAMES PEOPLE PLAY. BARRACUDA. MY GENERATION CD TWO: BACK IN THE USSR. LADY MADONNA. IM DOWN. FOOL ON THE HILL. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS (2 STARTS). MAYBE IM AMAZED. RAIN. BLACKBIRD. EVERYBODYS GOT SOMETHIG TO HIDE CEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY. DAY TRIPPER. TICKET TO RIDE. REVOLUTION. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. 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 |

| 8/12/01 | KASIM SULTAN KEN'S BAR & GRILL MADISON WISCONSON | JEFF 'WEAVIL' GAUSS (SOUNDBOARD?) | 79:47 |
| Date Added:10/23/2002 Track List:BABY DONT HOLD ME BACK. AFRAID HIMSELF TO BE. SET ME FREE. ALONE. JUST A LITTLE BIT. SOMETIMES LOVE IS A DANGEROUS THING. BEFORE SHE WAS GONE. SAY YEAH. 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 |

| 10/19/01 | HARRISBURG PA WHITAKER CENTER | AUDIENCE MINI-DISC (2 SOURCESS: MARK LINOVITZ & RICHARD SEITER) | 74:41/47:33 |
| 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 |

EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE �CEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY. REVOLUTION. DAY TRIPPER. TICKET TO RIDE. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. HEY JUDE. BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT/THE END. 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 |

EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE �CEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY. REVOLUTION. DAY TRIPPER. TICKET TO RIDE. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. HEY JUDE. BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT/THE END. 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 |

CLICHE'. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. IM LOOKING THROUGH YOU. THIS MUST BE LOVE. ONE WORLD. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE. 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. |

INFLUENZA (B). YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL. HAWKING. 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 |

REVOLUTION. GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT/THE END. 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 is the Night Music/Broadway version/Todd does come out again later in the night w/ Hall & Oates for encores are not included- HOWEVER this is a great recording and a fine document-good recordings and good sound systems help this one-another typical and great job by Marc.~ 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 |

The list, pacing-all was in synch at the Birchmere...new Chi flowing here-new improv lines taking the place of familiar vocal lines...Compassion here is as good as it’s been.

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 |

A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER Note:Compared to the nite after-I think this was the better performed show but they’re both good. The PA was not on during Lysistrata. 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 |

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 |

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 |

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! Todd’s gtr 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.~ Tony & 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 |

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 |

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 |

GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT/THE END. BIRTHDAY. HEY JUDE. Note:Very happy to have Sara cover this for us so that we can hear it. 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 |

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 |
| Date Added:10/3/2004 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. 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 |

| 9/15/04 | SAN FRANCISCO THE FILLMORE (INCOMPLETE) | AUDIENCE | 55:54/47:19 |
| Date Added:10/4/2004 Track List:CD ONE: INTRO/TRUTH. BUFFALO GRASS. MAMMON. FASCIST CHRIST. I HATE MY FRICKIN ISP. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. GOD SAID. LIAR. BELOVED INFIDEL. LUNATIC FRINGE. 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 |

| 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! |

| Date Added:10/21/2004 Track List:CD ONE: INTRO-C.B.(ORFF)/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. 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 |

| Date Added:11/30/2004 Track List:CD ONE: INTRO. TRUTH. BUFFALO GRASS. MAMMON. FASCIST CHRIST. 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. 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 |

BANG ON THE UKE DAILY. (YOUVE GOT TO) HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. BELOVED INFIDEL. THE WHEEL Note:Lovely recording from a venue that sounds to be unique. 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 |

As great as having a soundboard! This PDA recording is as good as or better than the house system-wow-Todd and stuff are in your face with one. Sound is totally unobstructed by yap, etc...Todd makes a Pope comment...in Baltimore...then talks about news stations cutting from the Robert Blake trial to the Papal Invocation...in Balt...yikes...very very rare Dream Goes On performed well...top notch Free Male and 21 and (Pat O'Brien's comment about the venue) another shakey HIM..Hide is good...LOTCM his voice goes out on the higher end...afterlife is superb-best yet, met with total indifference by crowd... (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 |

HAWKING. BANG ON THE UKE DAILY. CLICHE'. YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. ONE WORLD. THE OTHER ME (JJ). PRETENDING TO CARE. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. 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 |

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 (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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

The recording you got from Smeeg was from my original DVD recording of the show which I sent to him.

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 |

LUNATIC FRINGE. CD TWO: NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. DRIVE. SLUT. WHEN THE WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN (SOLO). 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 |

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 |

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 |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. DRIVE. TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. THE WALLS CAME DOWN. CD TWO: HAWKING. ONE WORLD. 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 |

NO 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. DRIVE. TINY DEMONS. CD TWO: MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. THE WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

CD TWO: DRIVE. TINY DEMONS. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. 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 |

TINY DEMONS. MYSTFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. SLUT. WALLS CAME DOWN. ONE WORLD. HAWKING. TRAPPED. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:Sold out in DC. 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 |

WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY Note:The small room and the aroma of Toads...all the way back from the old days...balance pretty unusual all night with loud drums/bass...specifics: Buffalo Grass -brisk, Todd tries to bring it back with slower phrasing on vocal...nice end solo but too fast as unfortunately, most were this night-I guess everyone was pumped to wrap a successful tour...ISP-again too fast..Vocal is great by Todd...Can’t hear much but bass, drums...nice tape for a bass/drummer to learn by actually....BM - Todd again blows like the wind, freely...amazing solo again..Kasim muffs a spot on bass, Todd’s guitar continues to be wild...guitar sounds a lot like the late ‘73 early ‘74 sound Todd used on the ‘eyeball’ Utopia album..Hot solos...same angular approach to this solo as then, lots of loud drums on Soul Brother, Mammon is way too fast...screaming lead guitar on FC-nice new bite on breakdown part..Gives it a new life...B&W 2nd verse on-this is superb-one of best versions...solo low volume but adventurous as hell...."and now the final destination is rhino records?" could that be the new version on the new album?? Great LF this night-you know it’s going to be on the new album....fluids spill all over in No. 1...dynamics of MU will be missed on this one...again drive is brisk..Great vocal (blowing it all out-last show) Kasim dresses up the bass part-changes the tune...” Problem with short tours is you revved up and then it’s over"...no intro for tiny demons this pm...Great version...on Mystified/BD and B balance improves, also faster than normal...1st solo Jeff Beck hat, Hendrix-like...Jesse solo very slidey not very loud-but wicked climax at end..Wild applause on Slut...stomping crowd to Walls...some bad guitar notes on Hawking but a very emotional performance...energy abounds on frantic Trapped and awesome WWE Kazs bass in your face....one of many good ones this time out.~ Tony |

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 |

| 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! |

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." |

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. |

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! |

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." |

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! |

| 1/29/11 | "TODD RUNDGREN'S UTOPIA REUNION" HIGHLINE BALLROOM NYC - FIRST NIGHT | AUDIENCE | N/A |
| Date Added:8/8/2012 Track List:DISC ONE: NEVER NEVER LAND.CRYING IN THE SUNSHINE.LADY FACE.DUST IN THE WIND.UTOPIA THEME.FREAK PARADE.ANOTHER LIFE.THE IKON. HEAVY METAL KIDS.THE WHEEL.DISC TWO: SET ME FREE. DO YA.THE LAST RIDE.FREEDOM FIGHTERS.JUST ONE VICTORY. SONS OF 1984.FRIENDS. 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 |

HEAVY METAL KIDS.DISC TWO:THE WHEEL.SET ME FREE. DO YA.THE LAST RIDE.FREEDOM FIGHTERS.JUST ONE VICTORY. SONS OF 1984.FRIENDS. Note:Todd Rundgren's Utopia Reunion featuring Moogy Klingman, Ralph Schuckett, John Siegler, Kevin Ellman and Todd Rundgren. 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 |

| 3/11 | LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE (TR'S HOUSE KAUAI HIAWAII) FROM THE EPISODE 40 | AUDIO DUB FROM VIDEO - WARREN | N/A |

BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAY. 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 |

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.

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!" |

| 6/26/11 | INFINITY HALL NORFOLK CT | AUDIENCE | N/A |
| Date Added:8/15/2012 Track List:DISC 1: REAL MAN. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. BUFFALO GRASS. KIND-HEARTED WOMAN. DETERMINATION. LUCKY GUY. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS. ESPRESSO. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. LOST HORIZON. FLAW. DISC 2: SOUL BROTHER. I'M SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY/LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU. I WANT YOU. HAWKING. I SAW THE LIGHT. COURAGE. DRIVE. 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: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." |

HAWKING.I SAW THE LIGHT.COURAGE.DRIVE.COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU.BAND INTROS.HELLO IT'S ME (3 WAYS).DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. 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' |

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 right next to 'Ellen' who always does a great job of fan filming. So between the two of us, 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 |

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. |

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 |

This audience recording seems from a better spot in the Venue. Very little audience chatter and all instruments and vocals very much up front. Makes for a very good capture. 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: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 |

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. |
