CD TWO: BELOVED INFIDEL. CAST THE FIRST STONE. WOMAN'S WORLD. TEMPORARY SANITY. FASCIST CHRIST. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. 

Note: the band is playing a very early gig so there are many mistakes and loose vocal response but nevertheless it is a clear document of the start of the rockin' individualist band.  there was very little rehearsal and a lot of west coast shows would be booked in smaller warm up venues for the first few nights. this was done before this show but they were still pretty unaccustomed to playing as a unit together at this point. sound is quite clear. thanks istvan.

BONUS: 7/23/95 SOUNDCHECK PHILADELPHIA, PA TRACODARO - JAM. FAMILY VALUES. 
Note: this radio broadcast sounds real hot...show is edited of course. The philly b-cast has some jam on it but is an audience and the quality is not as good as the main show...but the jam is way cool. all in all a top notch single cd from the guitar oriented tours of '95-'96. good score from istvan....thanks.

CD TWO: MYSTIFIED->BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. WOMAN'S WORLD. TEMPORARY SANITY. FASCIST CHRIST. BLACK MARIA. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. 

BONUS TRACK: JESSE (OFFICIAL PROMO VERSION) 
Note: this rockin' show from the I tour was the only radio broadcast that happened.  the feed is a little flat from the board but the clarity is wonderful. this is as hard-rockin' as todd had gotten in tears and a prelude to the power TRio tour of 2000. the bonus track is clear.... the cassette promo version of the tune which was recorded for 2nd wind but left off (according to tr) not because of the F word but because he felt it didnt fit since it was an acoustic guitar and not a band song....ya gotta have jesse!

CD TWO: TABLES WILL TURN. ONE WORLD. NO. 1 LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. BONUS TRACKS: 11/1/97 LA HOUSE OF BLUES PRE-SHOW INTERVIEW (WWW) AND 6/18/95 OSAKA FM-802 INTERVIEW. 
Note: this show was transferred because the quality of it is superb but the vocal performance was suffering. cliche is probably the worst all time version of this tune. jessie plays an amazing solo on beloved infidel. playing is very hot ... todd just simply blew out the pipes the night before in nyc and this is what was left...a unique show and unfortunately for all of us dc area fans. his last stop at the legendary bayou (RIP). thanks tst.

CD TWO: BLACK AND WHITE. I WANT YOU. CLICHE'. MYSTIFIED/BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. THE INDIVIDUALIST. ESPRESSO. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. 
Note: sounds very good as it was probably coverted files from the liveconcerts.com broadcast. a great representation (like a board) of this tour. this was the tour when tr started to dread the piano (some nights good, some bad) but this night he's pretty on. very enjoyable as todd is in a good mood and performs well.

CD TWO: THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. DOG STORY. TABLES WILL TURN. WOMAN'S WORLD. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS? (COMPLETE). A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY. THE WHEEL. RADIO ADVERTISEMENT FOR THIS SHOW. BONUS TRACK: 10/25/96 INTERVIEW SAPPORO JAPAN J-WAVE 
Note: another great radio broadcast captured by frank. there's some slight overload on todd's mic for most of the show, but it's way better than an audience recording. todd was still doing his I solo stuff and his problems with the piano were almost at a peak here. the aborted version of cwsbf is pretty strange given that he was going out live and he couldn't remember how it went. the rest of the show was not really affected by the blunder but most of us toddheads recognize that this broadcast is one of the reasons why todd has rarely played piano live since this time. the later '97-98 solo tours saw him bring along jesse and rely on keys less and less. nevertheless, this show is a modern classic and it is always a special show when todd plays the rock and roll capitol and the fans really get an inspired performance. he doesn't play keys that bad on the whole and comes back with a perfect version of cwsbf on encore. the dog story tells about his new dog that was eating him literally out of house and home in his first months in hawaii. bonus track is a japanese interview from 9 months earlier.

CD TWO: A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER*. I WANT YOU*. BLACK AND WHITE. FREE MALE AND 21. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?. WORLDWIDE EPIPHANY.

Note: mike adrain did an amazing job by not picking up much noise despite the yap and beer mugs clanking. good show-bonus from the infamous OGWT/london. a bubnick special and the best sounds from this short tour. *=w/ JESSE GRESS (guitar). recorded with sony TCD-D8 DAT machine and an ECM-909 microphone - we're talking close to $1,000 of recording equipment here. recording position is the table front and center, seats 1 through 8. this is a great show in front of a small crowd of about 200. the sound is warm and very natural on the acoustic numbers, the best I've heard from this tour from the audience. all around a very good sounding show.

CD TWO: LOST HORIZON. EASTERN INTRIGUE. CAN'T STOP RUNNING. HELLO, IT'S ME. TODD BANTER. LOVE OF THE COMMON MAN. THERE GOES MY INSPIRATION. LUCKY GUY. BORN TO SYNTHESIZE. I'M SO PROUD/OOH BABY BABY. I WANT YOU. AMERICA DRINKS. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER

Note: probably the most mistake free performance tr had on this under-rehearsed tour. revised notes. this is really well recorded in a good-sounding hall. todd plays well this night and everything goes down great. this cd has been upgraded to include some great bonus tracks, especially the classic fully mind-blowing experience of 7/1/99's 23 minute born to synthesize which just about takes things as far onstage, improvisationally,  as todd has ever done. one for the ages. ESSENTIAL!

Note: this gem from an audience job has a few crackles and pops due to coming from vinyl. this isone of the few out there. tr's guitar playing was special on this tour. still looking for that show that was filmed by ringo in connecticut - that is where everyone said tr brought down the roof...this show captures the tour quite well...ESSENTIAL!

CD TWO: ALL RIGHT NOW. BOYS. BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY. WHITE ROOM. WHITER SHADE OF PALE. PHOTOGRAPH. YELLOW SUBMARINE. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS. 
Note: this audie is another (slightly truncated) version of the show. the quality is not bad but the yap factor is high.

Note: here's the second installment to the second time 'round ringoland. some nice additions to todd's bit including ISTL, hammer, and doin' i feel free and thus fulfilling the dream of a young nazzster creamin' with jack. smokin' hot and out-of-conTRol lead from todd on i wanna be your man makes this one worth it alone! thanks to jules in the ringo camp for this rarity.
