1/3/97 | CLEVELAND ODEON | FM BROADCAST WNCX (EDIT BY PAUL RUSSO) | 72:16/67:16 |
Date Added:11/13/2000 Track List:CD ONE : INTRO/INTERVIEW. COMPUTER LOVE INTRO. BLACK AND WHITE. HAMMER IN MY HEART. I WANT YOU. CLICHE'. LYSISTRADA. CD-I DEMO. THE INDIVIDUALIST. FAMILY VALUES. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS? (ABORTED). TOO FAR GONE. COMPASSION. FREE MALE AND 21 CD TWO: THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. DOG STORY. TABLES WILL TURN. WOMAN'S WORLD. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS? (COMPLETE). A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. THE WHEEL. RADIO ADVERTISEMENT FOR THIS SHOW. Note:One of the most recent radio broadcasts. Todd was still doing his Individualist solo stuff and his problems with the piano were almost at a peak here. The aborted version of CWSBF is pretty strange, given that he was going out live as he couldn’t remember how it went. The rest of the show was not really affected by the blunder, but most of us heads recognize that this broadcast is one of the reasons why Todd has rarely played piano live since this time. The later 97-98 solo tours saw him bring along Jessie and rely on keys less and less. Nevertheless, this show is a modern classic and it is always a special show when Todd plays the rock and roll capitol and the fans really get an inspired performance. He doesn’t play keys that bad on the whole and comes back with a perfect version of CWSBF on encore. The dog story tells about his new dog that was eating him literally out of house and home in his first months in Hawaii.~ Tony |

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

Date Added:5/1/2006 Track List:CD ONE: CARAVAN/CARAVAN. I SAW THE LIGHT. INFLUENZA. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. ZEN ARCHER. FIDELITY. NEVER NEVER LAND. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. ESPRESSO. INTRO. THE INDIVIDUALIST. REAL MAN. CD TWO: LOST HORIZON. EASTERN INTRIGUE. CANT STOP RUNNING. HELLO ITS ME. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. IM SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY. I WANT YOU. 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 |

That’s why it’s here... no really- the show was a very tight show but the sound (as always in Jaxx's) is not crystal clear due to the house sound and acoustics. Nevertheless this is a peek into the peak of the Tiki tour...sound is very decent but there are some better from this tour, sound wise...~ Tony |
