Dang! I want an encore interview - 'm still hungry!!

I don't follow Todd's career like I did in the 70's and 80's, but all 4 parts of this interview are just great! I always have admired Todd for his musical innovation, his intellect, and just all-around brilliance. He has always been on the cutting edge, and has one of the finest singing voices ever heard. Thanks for posting these.

Man, I wish I could have made it to the shows in the states, and maybe perhaps there will be more later? It seems to be catching on quite a bit, and obviously a major point of Todd's career. Todd's taken to FaceBook word of mouth, etc ... Brilliant. I'm wondering if parts of this tour are coming out on DVD? This interview is obviously between live footage ... you can tell by the "thank you" at the beginning of one of the sections, and the fading-in live stuff at the very end. ???

This interview was from the "pre-show" during the webcast. They were cutting back and forth between the interview and excited fans waiting for the show to start. There will be a DVD release of this tour.

There are 4 shows coming up in California in early December, as well as several shows in Europe.

i totally agreed with his changing the running order-LFI was the climax

i can tell todd is proud that he wrote HIM as his first song ;)

[toddrundgrenfan]

Yeah, it's his album, he can re-arrange it if need be. There were only a couple of jarring moments where I expected to hear one song and I heard a different one. But now I've heard the concert order enough that it feels like the "correct" one now.

Todd is a rarity in the music world in his lack of desire to just cash in by doing the same thing over and over. He could have had a career like Elton John if he really wanted to, and have the same sort of mansion.

OK, all 4 segments are transcribed and subtitled, which means that it can be automatically translated into any language. So the Dutch fans hoping to go to the upcoming show in Amsterdam can go to the "CC" in the lower right hand corner, click on the arrow, and select "Dutch" from the pulldown menu and get an automatic translation into Dutch.

I'll try re-capturing it and re-encoding. Hopefully it's not on the original.

Thank You Rundgrenfan for posting this for us who didn't see this on our Webcast Archive.

[toddrundgrenfan]

I have no idea why it's not on the archive. Or why there was never a 1 gig archive of the second night in Akron.

I'm working on transcribing the interview, and will put up captions which will allow automatic translation into other languages.
