From my experience, Milwaukee is usually a good Todd crowd, but I don't know where they were tonight. Somewhat embarrassing.
Anyway, those of us that were there were blessed with a highly entertaining show. I've been a Todd fan(atic) since the early 70's, seen tons of shows, and this one was somewhat refreshing. Todd seemed much more enthused and energetic as opposed to the solo Todd/Joe shows last time around. It was fun to see him playing something besides his own material and he seemed to be having fun doing it. He looks in better shape too. That was the feel of the whole band, just havin' fun. Kasim was light and energetic as always (does this guy age?) and was as tight as ever with Prairie. What a SOLID ROCK of a rhythm section!! Elliot and Greg……awesome!!! No wonder The Cars enjoyed so much success. I wore out the first two Cars albums because it always seemed that they were the ones my friends wanted to hear…. and rightfully so! Good solid musicianship.
Great new set too. The Cars highlights with some Todd peppered in. The Todd stuff fit well. The set list? I just happen to have Todd's set list here in my hot little hands, thanks to a friendly crew member.
