Was actually Jack Daniels. his throat was hurting real bad that nite, (near the end of the tour) and he said f**k it..if it is going to hurt I am not going to feel it.....felt bad for the people who paid good money for the tickets.
Yeah, this was during his drinking phase - he's kinda sloppy. But still, he's better drunk than most are sober! I'll always love him....his music has taught me so much about arrangement, harmony, chord voicings, melody...and his lyrics are unparalleled. His wit and humor are always fun, and his ingenuity and pioneering spirit always put him light years ahead of his time. Plus, who else could thumb their nose at the record industry and still sustain such a prolific career? A Wizard A True Star.
Maybe somebody gave you a bad mark because it wasn't Jack Daniels Toddy was drinking mojorisen74 . It was a bottle of Ballantine's Scotch Whiskey. His favorite at the time.
haha this was a great show but he's really drunkin' it...listen to how he fucks up the changes sometimes. Great stuff still though, i really like these one man shows
I love Todd, this song, the album and everything he's ever done. Of all the artists and musicians out there, he is the "only" one that I can say that I absolutely love every single song he's written.
I saw the same solo tour in Hollywood CA (I believe it was at The Palace if I'm not mistaken). Todd had a PC on stage, and had Roger Powell bits midied for a lot of the songs...
I guess this must've been the first show utilizing midi technology for a back-up band. Todd carried it off beautifully, with a psychedelic light show, and his great in-between song patter.
It's great seeing this clip, from a fantastic time waaay back when!
There are a couple of Todd's songs that I've searched for through torrent sites and anywhere else where there might be a possibility of finding them. It's how I came up with a couple of the ones I've uploaded, here.
If anyone has any connections or leads....I would love to find "Be Nice To Me" and "Hope I'm Around" 2 of my all time "take to a desert island" with me... Rundgren favorites.

Every single song is a little bit much to believe. However, he is fantastic.

I recall as a teenager feeling amazed that Todd sang every voice and played every instrument on that album. What a talent.

Very Nice! Love the banter at the end of clip. Pure Todd! Looks like "TR in '88" tour circa 1987.
