TODD/UTOPIA AND RELATED ARTISTS ON CD-R

THIS IS A REFERENCE PLACE FOR BOOTLEG STUFF I HAD PRIOR TO 2008 ARENA TOUR. I AM NO LONGER COLLECTING/TRADING THIS STUFF IN ANY WAY AND THESE PAGES ARE NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF SAME. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED A LOT OF EFFORT TOWARDS THIS SCENE. IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH, YOU WILL FIND SOMEWHERE WHERE THIS IS GOING ON STILL-THERE ARE STILL THEIVES AND CRIMINALS AMONG US! WATCH OUT...IM HALF-JOKING, OF COURSE
FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, ALL TODD, UTOPIA AND NAZZ ARE BANNED FROM DIME A DOZEN. THERE IS A LETTER FROM ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING TODD THREATENING LEGAL ACTION FOR ANY SUCH CONTENT. YOU CAN SEE IT AT THE SITE. I AM UNSURE ABOUT ANY OTHER PIER TO PIER PLACE WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING. ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE...AT THE REQUEST OF THE ARTIST (AS THE LETTER STATES). AT THIS POINT, I NEED NO MORE INFORMATION OR CLUES TO SOLVE MY PUZZLE, SO TO SPEAK. ITS AMAZING HOW HARD HEADED YOU CAN GET ABOUT STUFF SOMETIMES. ITS MY TIME TO GET OUT.
IF YOU ARE AS BEWILDERED/PUZZLED BY THIS MOVE AS I AM, TAKE COMFORT TO KNOW THAT MOST MODERN ARTISTS (WELL ABOVE 80%) WOULD LOVE YOU TO CARE ENOUGH TO TAPE/BOOTLEG THEIR MUSIC. MOST NEW BANDS KNOW THE VALUE. ITS ONLY WHEN YOU SET THINGS UP BACK TO BACK AND GET THE DIFFERENCE FROM NIGHT TO NIGHT THAT YOU "GET IT"-THOSE WHO KNOW KNOW THAT THIS IS WHERE THE REAL LIFE IS. UNLESS YOURE SELLING A PRODUCT LIKE BUBBLEGUM, ETC. (OR A TOP 40 ARTIST WHERE ONE SHOW IS THE SAME TAPE EACH NIGHT) MOST OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS ARE INTO COMMUNICATION, NOT SO MUCH DICTATION IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH ALL ASPECTS OF THINGS. WHATVER HAPPENED (MONEY PROBABLY) TO LOSE THIS HERE, THERES ALWAYS OTHER SCENES INTO IT. IVE HEARD THEY ARE DOING WEBCASTS AND CHARGING FOR AWATS 09..FUCKING FINALLY THE LIGHT GOES OFF!!...I DONT KNOW BUT IT WAS PROBABLY DOUGS IDEA..THANK GOD FOR DOUG FORD-YOU SHOULD ALL KISS HIS FEET FOR ALL HE'S DONE..I MEAN THAT SINCERELY
BEFORE YOU EMAIL ME ABOUT IT, I AM SORRY BUT I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO COPY ANYTHING FOR ANY REASON AND I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE SAME REASONS. I AM NOT CONTINUING THIS ON THE SLY OR ANYTHING..I AM SINCERELY DONE-ONE DAY MAYBE ILL GET MY SHIT TOGETHER AND AUCTION OFF MY COLLECTION FOR CHARITY OR SOMETHING...AND IF THERES ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS TO WORK A BIT, I STILL HAVE HOURS OF TR VIDEO THAT HASNT SEEN THE MODERN LIGHT OF DAY IN VHS FORMAT-(DRYING UP AS WE SPEAK). IF SOMEONE REALLY WILL USE IT, ITS YOURS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF APPRECIATION. AGAIN, I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED OR KNEW ME THROUGH THIS WHOLE SCENE. I HAD A LOT OF FUN.

Note:more working tapes from the tubes camp. this is really a great album. it does sound dated due to the synth sounds used but these are high quality outtakes- great for fans of the album.tr with the hello people on the bonus tracks.
1979 TUBES LIVE AT THE GREEK PRO MIXED 62:33
Track List:GETOVERTURE. TURN ME ON. T.V. IS KING. DONT TOUCH ME THERE. LOVES A MYSTERY. WHAT DO YOU WNAT FROM LIFE?. NO WAY OUT. TELECIDE. STAND UP AND SHOUT OUT/SHOUT. WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE. BABA O'REILLY
Note:again, i dont know if this was ever released offically but ifnot it should be. ths completyes the cycle on the 79 tr production of remote control. this is the subsequent tour. sound is mixed asnd clear and gives a truncated look at the madness that was the tubes in 79. if you like the tube folks, ya gotta have this.

Note:again-dont know if this is still in OOP, im pretty sure it is- tr, kaz and rog all play on this album which heavily bears todds stamp and it works-one of the most underrated of all of todds productions, this one, like cheap trick, sank without much of a trace..the album has a concept..sex and rock and roll-you can tell by the song titles, but hey..this is really a strong album..also please note the bonus tracks here are decent songs but obviously (by hearing em) you can tell tr did not produce them..thanks to the man of steel... ive been informed this is in print-sorry i cant trade it
2/16/79 NYC PALLADIUM BOAT PEOPLE INDOCHINESE BENEFIT + BONUS KBFH AND INTERVIEW FM SOURCE 74:36
Track List:TRAPPED. LOVE IN ACTION. ABANDON CITY. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. GANGRENE. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. BLACK MARIA.

BONUS TRACK: INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT KLIEN RE BOAT PEOPLE
Note:this cd is from the WNEW FM broadcast of the first show. Some problems are appearance from someone on a cb or other source 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. Just got in hiroshis verison which has a wnew i/v at front of it that happened before the show-sounds as great as ever-but still those damned cb truck dudes goofing off does show up on last few tunes...i love what he did here ans it was historic but the version of johnny b goode is hard to take with the flange sound gtr..utopia was a bit too tech savvy to be rolling in chuck berry mud.....great job from hiroshi-sounds a s great as ever- really an important event in tr history and it sounds better than ever...thanks h
4/21/79 (TUBES) CLEVELAND OHIO COLISEUM THEATER 2 CDS SDBD (GIL) 42:43/45:04

CD TWO:TELECIDE. LOVES A MYSTERY. TUBES WORLD TOUR. STAND UP AND SHOUT. WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE (BALLAD BEG VERSION). BABA O REILLY/THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT.
Note:super clean sdbd from red hot tubes in 79!when i think of the core quintessential tubes, this is it..although re couldnt sing as well as michelle would later..she still was an important member of the band especially the way she would taunt the male audience members (she was hot as hell and probably still is)-she added the an important wild but femstrong attitude to the mix that never was the same after she left (soon thereafter)..you know many people would say she was exploited and stood for/participated in the sleazy stuff but it always was PRT OF THE SHOW-THE POINT WAS THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF IT ALL AND RE WAS HIGH MINDED ENOUGH TO ACT OUT THE PART WHILE BEING SMARTER THAN EM ALL...if you like remote control (and who doesnt except the shes a dooty crowd?) then you need this one..as usual in the mad of cleves, the energy level is high

CD TWO: GANGRENE. PERUVIAN BASKET RAP. 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:another addition on my favorite tour- it has the adventures stuff before release..i remember the shock of the disco encore..really i didnt like that tune then-now i can deal..then it was odd..also love alone was strange to see kaz at keys with the other 3 singing barbershop..strange..keyboard riff..ahh..but the greatness of the ikon into 7 rays and the freedom fighters and the verb..it was the best ever i think of the 4 piece band but thats just me..this recording is not the best one of the tour but is listnable for an audie some nyc yap...the best opf this your would be the syracuse..this is cool if you were there especially....thanks hk...

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 79with some yap at the front.. but what a performance...they were charged up for it-mama 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-kaz is cut off during his solo, but smoking..todd jpokes 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 kneb as super performance but no doubt it was..they ruled there...confident and strident as can be....

10/31/79 "HALLOWEEN 79" PASSAIC CAPITOL THEATER FM 2CDS CASS FROM FM BROADCAST 1 ST GEN 75:06/68:58

COULDNT I JUST TELL YOU. JUST ONE VICTORY. 12/28/79 DETROIT WABX UTOPIA INTERVIEW.
Note:oh -it seems like we all forgot about the year before deface..there was a 79 decent sounding fm recording-no its not as well balanced as the 80 but its still a strong fm- and the sound is good- as a bonus we offer the sorely forgotten and under appreciated classic which is the boston 11/79 recording (originally appeared on the early cd boot named "real todd") which is , for my money in the same league as syracuse.. the last is a group interview in the pre promo adventures vein/era..
11/16/79 SYRACUSE LANDMARK THEATER FM SOURCE (DIRECT TO CD FROM LP- HOME STUDIO ENHANCED) BROADCAST) 72:34
Track List:THE LAST OF THE NEW WAVE RIDERS. BACK ON THE STREET. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. CARAVAN. 96 TEARS. TRAPPED. THE LAST RIDE. ROAD TO UTOPIA. GANGRENE. ROCK LOVE. DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL. LOVE IN ACTION. COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU. ANYWAY, ANYHOW, ANYWHERE. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. JUST ONE VICTORY
Note:There is an ongoing debate as to whether this was from tarrytown, westchester or syracuse. on my tape of the same whgen i recorded off the fm in 1980 the announcer said recorded in syracuse at the landmark theater. i am told by those who own the vinyl transcript it also says syracuse. for a long period of time people who saw the recording truck outside the venues say their show was the show that was recorded. i have gone with syracuse b/c i can't believe the network would make a mistake like this and (as we know from the acapella tour minn and chicago) there are frequently multiple shows recorded and the best is picked and mixed. if anyone can prove me wrong, let me know and ill change it. of coruse this is a masterpiece and must have from one of the coolest tours ever. pre-adventures stuff- i was there at legend valley earlier in the year. great line up. sandra winters worked wonders here. no noise, clicks...missing only shot in the dark due to time constraints....this was the first concert of the decade broadcast later on 1/1/80 across the country. ESSENTIAL
