Rating: Summary: Not a bad DVD...but not awesome Review: This DVD is decent...I saw this set list live and have to admit that Todd's lead guitar skills are great. If you are a true Todd fan from the 70's...you might be let down a bit when you look for acoustic songs, ballads, etc...because they are not here. Highlight: Bang the Drum on ukelele...its great. Todd is a genius, no doubt.
Rating: Summary: I Liked It Review: This is probably the most interesting Todd delivery since 1990's Japan concert. A powerful set of not too common songs as anyone would have expected, backed by a powerful duo on bass and drums in a very intimate enviroment. The results are amazing, proof that time has no effect on Todd's ability to write and perform great music.About the DVD. Sound quality exceptional, but the video is below average and there are no extra stuff. At the end of the day, thanks Todd!!....It's good to have you arround !!

Rating: Summary: For Todd guitar fans, this one is for you! Review: This video arrived in the mail from Amazon.com 30 years after I first saw Todd on tour (Wizard/original Utopia). Granted, nothing will ever top that event, but thinking back on all of the other times that I have seen Todd through the years, I am really glad that this tour has been preserved on video for posterity. I cannot ever recall seeing him rock this hard as what is presented here! No keyboards, just guitar, bass, and drums. Tood's guitar fans will absolutely love this video! The set list is predominantly the boogie and blues influenced numbers. Songs like Public Servant from Second Wind and Determination from Hermit would also have fit very well into this long set list, to give you an idea. The only slow parts are the ukelele version of Bang The Drum, and the experimental Number One Lowest Common Denominator. As for the quality of the video, I initially did not like the very amateur feel to it, especially since it opens up with some bad sound checks from various cities. Then I realized as usual, Todd is a genius, and this video makes the viewer feel like he/she is actually in that small concert hall. This video will also serve the purpose in helping the Todd fan to decide if it is worth driving 8-12 hours to see him on his next tour (Jan. 2003). Give me the car keys!
