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.

3/31/01 THE TUBES ÎWORLD CLASS GAMBLERS" ATLANTIC CITY THE SHELL AT TRUMP MARINA 2 CDS AUDIENCE 70:30/73:56
Date Added:2/25/2002
Track List:CD ONE: TUBES WORLD TOUR. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM LIFE?. DIGIDOLL. WILD WOMEN OF WONGO. SHES A BEAUTY. UP FROM THE DEEP. DONT TOUCH ME THERE. RAWHIDE/MONDO BONDAGE. SAY HEY. MONKEY TIME. TIP OF MY TONGUE CD TWO: SUSHI GIRL. TV IS KING. GETOVERTURE. BOY CRAZY. WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE. LOVELINE. TALK TO YA LATER. BONUS TRACKS FROM PHILADELPHIA- THEATER OF LIVING ARTS 7/19/00: SUSHI GIRL. PIECE BY PIECE. BOY CRAZY. WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE. TV IS KING. TALK TO YA LATER.
Note:this audie is only a fair recording and im quite surprised that this would be a boot, given the other ones out there. Its a good performance but i think i like the quality of the philly stuff a little better but as i said, they are listenable but certainly not high fidelity. For hardcores only.
4/14/01 KASIM SULTAN: NYC THE BITTER END AUDIENCE SOURCE (ENHANCED IN HOME STUDIO) 54:35
Date Added:6/13/2001
Track List:DONT HOLD ME BACK. AFRAID HIMSELF TO BE. BEFORE SHE WAS GONE. SET ME FREE. JUST A LITTLE BIT. SOMETIMES LOVE IS A DANGEROUS THING. 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. Kaz 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 lennons across the universe. This is simply a great new audience recording/snapshot of where the man is now.
4/27/01 AGOURA HILLS, CAL CANYON CLUB 2 CDS AUDIENCE DISC (TRANSFERRED BY CAROL D'AMICO) 74:49/32:02

HAWKING. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL.
Note:nice solo show where tr does a few new things. The wv gals (which btw, i dont fucking 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 tr stuff as well) and is a great long time tr fan-its nice to have some company here. the show is a little rough as youd 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 weve been diggin since his first 81 tour.. )

LET IT BE. YOU CANT DO THAT. TICKET TO RIDE. HEY JUDE. BIRTHDAY CD THREE: GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT/THE END.
Note:complete early audience show from the la la land. 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 cant do that" which vanished by the time it hit the east coast days later. Can be combined onto 2 for those whod like it.

Note:here is a very good recording from the early daze of the awdar scene. 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.

THE END.
Note:this good audie comes from down south..good sound, some talk, but not that bad overall- the sound is strong-the cds miss early part of set 2 but whats here shows it to be an exciting stop. The post recording processing by mr d boosts the quality level here.
6/30/01 A WALK DOWN ABBEY ROAD CHAMPION, PA SEVEN SPRINGS RESORT 2 CDS MINI DISC (TRANSFERRED IN HOME STUDIO) 59:43/73:51
Date Added:7/2/2001
Track List:CD ONE: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. (MISSING OPEN MY EYES). EYE IN THE SKY. CRAZY ON YOU. MY WIFE. HELLO ITS ME. DONT ANSWER ME. YOURE THE BIGGEST PART OF ME. THATS HOW MUCH 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. HERE COMES THE SUN. LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS. YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. MAYBE IM AMAZED. RAIN. BLACKBIRD. 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. todds goofball comments add the levity. he and ann w make a great pair with the banter. Clearly its the tr 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 tr leads. Many more to come-this is a tour not to miss- dont 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 ringos greatest overplayed hits tours-these are the beatles (actually todd calls em the "dumb beatles")
7/4/01 KENOSHA PRIVATE PARTY AUDIENCE (FROM G URWIN-UK) 68:21
Date Added:12/21/2002
Track List:INTRO. WEST VIRGINIA GIRLS. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. CLICHE'. HAMMER IN MY HEART. THE HOUSECARPENTER. SONG OF THE VIKING (AB'TED). MYSTIFIED. LOVE IN ACTION. TINY DEMONS. ONE WORLD. THE WHEEL
Note:this did not come from the dvd thats out there from the party- 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..again he does housecarpenter one of my faves...had to start w. that wv song..no comment here..nice one off.
7/5/01 CHICAGO A TASTE OF CHICAGO 2 CDS AUDIENCE (PROBABLY DAT) from JOHN HUGHES 71:00/71:31

DAY TRIPPER. TICKET TO RIDE. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. HEY JUDE. BIRTHDAY. GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT. THE END.
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 contigent-thanks-john!

Note:this is a very average audie from uncasville. show is decent- some yap. made the rounds on video and this sounds like its from that video that ran in goldmine-i cant imagine paying for this.. if you were there, ok..if not, theres many better.
7/17/01 A WALK DOWN ABBEY ROAD VIENNA VA WOLFTRAP FILENE CENTER 2 CDS PROBABLY DAT/MD (MARK LINOVITZ)
Date Added:10/22/2001

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. HERE COMES THE SUN.

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.
7/19/01 WESTBURY MUSIC FAIR, LONG ISLAND AUDIENCE (UNSURE OF DECK-UNKNOWN from JOHN HUGHES, smash, rog steel) 65:00/71:11
Date Added:11/13/2001
Track List:CD ONE: INTRO/DRAGNET THEME. MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. OPEN MY EYES. EYE IN THE SKY. CRAZY ON YOU. MY WIFE. HELLO ITS ME. DONT ANSWER ME. YOURE THE BIGGEST PART OF ME. THATS HOW MUCH 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. HERE COMES THE SUN. LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS. YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. MAYBE IM AMAZED. RAIN. BLACKBIRD. 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: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 mr hughes.
7/22/01 SCHENECTADY NY THE AGNES MACDONALD MUSIC HAVEN-2CDS DAT TO CD (TRANSFERRED IN HOME STUDIO-MARK STEINBERG) 66:40/23:44
Date Added:8/23/2001
Track List:CD ONE: HAMMER IN MY HEART. CLICHE'. I DONT WANT TO TIE YOU DOWN. WEST VIRGINIA GIRLS. I SAW THE LIGHT. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. NEVER NEVER LAND. MATED. 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:mr tapes rings the bell with this duo (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 weve heard for years-since this is a two-off, we cant be too picky i guess. He did kick major ass on the abbey shows-so whatdya want??? i tell you what-there are few, if any folks who consistently deliver as good of quality as mr s-great sound with no distortion and little to zero yap.
7/23/01 NEW YORK CITY BB KINGS 2 CDS DAT TO CD (TRANSFERRED/REC MARK STEINBERG-ANOTHER VERSION BY ROY GOLDBERG) 57:29/62:54
Date Added:8/23/2001
Track List:CD ONE: I WANNA BE YOUR MAN (SPOKEN). HAMMER IN MY HEART. LYSISTRADA. CLICHE'. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. TINY DEMONS. WEST VIRGINIA GIRLS. I DONT WANT TO TIE YOU DOWN. I SAW THE LIGHT. NEVER NEVER LAND. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. LADY MADONNA. CD TWO: IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. SONG OF THE VIKING. COMPASSION. FREE MALE AND 21. THE HOUSE CARPENTER. 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. Roy g also did a fine version of this from a different angle-slightly more yap but its nyc, you know...btw, i believe the house carpenter is one of the best things todds 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-roys is fine as well........
7/26/01 A WALK DOWN ABBEY ROAD BROOKLYN SUMMER STAGE 2 CDS DAT (RECORDED/ TRANSFERRED - JAMEY SUSSMAN) 73:26/74:42
Date Added:1/13/2002
Track List:CD ONE: DRAGNET INTRO. MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. OPEN MY EYES. EYE IN THE SKY. CRAZY ON YOU. MY WIFE. HELLO ITS ME. DONT ANSWER ME. YOURE THE BIGGEST PART OF ME. THATS HOW MUCH 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. HERE COMES THE SUN. LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS. YOUVE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. MAYBE IM AMAZED. RAIN. BLACKBIRD. 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 simply THE best one out there -delivered late but never too late. This is simply recorded by great equipment from a good friend who does this stuff for a living. It is an outside show-not a board but as good of an audience job as can be done in an outdoor show. Simply superb. In fact-the recording is so good that it shows the troupe's harmonies are wavering and a bit sloppy in places but jeez they are copying the fab four in the studio and many songs which they never played live-performance is on par with the others.. A little better than usual but somewhat ragged and towards the end of the us line. Dont miss this one. ESSENTIAL-PRO JOB
7/27/01 A WALK DOWN ABBEY ROAD- SEWELL, NJ AUDIENCE+NEW VERSION (DAVID WEESNER) 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? im sure if you go to your $25-$30 bootleg store, theyll have this and people who buy it will probably be marginally satisfied as its not that bad-its just that there are several better ones-but this is the one that shows up where they sell this stuff. please dont 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. UPDATE (10/6/03)- WELL MR WEESNERS IS better than the above for sure..it is a bit bassy but there are numerous highlights to mention-first of all-the night was recorded professionally and thats why there are a couple of false starts when todd and ann forget the words to while my gtr.. and maybe im amazed.... also the jeapordy theme preceeds bang 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 dont buy bootleg tr stuff, ok??????? thanks to mr w
8/12/01 KASIM SULTAN-MADISON, WISCONSON WEAVIL-J 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 doesnt 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
10/19/01 HARRISBURG WHITAKER CENTER 2 CDS MINI DISC (2 VERSIONS: 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 its me as well as fidelity (wish we would hear this live on keys solo like 96-97)-enjoyable as tr 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.

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 ive 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.

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 weve heard no1 lowest solo, so .. not as bad as people would say-some new key songs woulda been nice but this is probably the most enjoyable and least jarring show ive heard from this tour..(then again this is the first ive had to miss for a long time) recommended-great job by all 3.

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 ive been harsh sometimes, i dont think this is that bad-his piano is actually way above the average lately on this one.

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 todds voice was rough to start but comes around as the show moves along.

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 (tr just does HIM) but it does end up highlighting the beatles much more siginficantly. Beatles set is same-super show-tr delivers a solid performance which was above average inspiration-wise. Good one here.

GOLDEN SLUMBERS / CARRY THAT WEIGHT / THE END
Note:the top tr 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 tr?? 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.

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..
