JOE CAME OUT LAUNCHING RIGHT INTO 'STEPPIN' OUT.HIS VOICE IS AS STRONG OR STRONGER THAN EVER.GREAT SONGWRITER AND GOOD PIANIST.VERY UNDERRATED BUT STILL BOASTING A SUCCESSFUL CAREER MANY ONLY DREAM OF.
TODD'S SET WAS A MIX OF ACOUSTIC GTR IN WHICH DISTORTION WAS USED THROUGH IT TO ROCK UP SOME SONGS.IF MEMORY SERVES HE ROCKED UP BLACK AND WHITE BUT FUNNILY DID HAMMER IN MY HEART WITH CLEAN ACOUSTIC FOR SOME REASON.POOR GUY HAD THE FLU FROM THE VERY CHILLY WEEKEND IN FL I SUPPOSE.WE HEARD THE COMPLAINTS IN MELBOURNE BUT TODD DOESN'T FIND NOTE FOR NOTE PERFECT SONGS AS NECESSARY AS DOING A SINCERE EXPRESSION OF FEELING .SURE A FEW BUM NOTES BUT GIVE THE GUY SOME CREDIT.LOOK HOW HARDER IT IS PLAYING 'HELLO ITS ME' ON PIANO THAN SO MANY PIANO POP SONGS OUT THERE.APPRECIATE THE WORK AND SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP.JUST CAUSE YOUR SPOILED WITH A TOP'NOTCH SONGWRITER,MUSICIAN AND PRODUCER THATS REALER THAN ABOUT ANYONE IN THE BIZ DON'T EXPECT PERFECTION.DID YA'S REALIZE THE LIARS CD WAS CRAMMED WITH 74 MIN OR SO OF GREAT SONGS,NO FILLER.WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE ANY NEW SONGS AND HE GAVE US MORE SONGS THAN PRACTICALLY ANYONE DOES NOWADAYS.
HE DID A GOOD JOB AND KEPT A SENSE OF HUMOR WHILE UNDER A FLU.HIS VOCALS WERE A BIT HARSH ON SOME HIGH NOTES BUT OVERALL HE SANG WELL.IF YOU REALLY LOVE MUSIC AND TODD YOU SHOULD ENJOY THE SHOW.IT BEATS SEEING HIM IN A STADIUM OR ARENA THESE DAYS TOO.ENJOY THE INTIMATE VENUE.HECK,HE'S INVITED YOU INTO HIS LIVING ROOM.
LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS 'LIARS' DVD AND ANY NEW MUSIC RELEASES OR CONCERTS.
THANKS TODD.
