Another posted at guitars 101. A fine AUD from the 'With A Twist' tour. The sound quality is great! Audacity was used to split the tracks.
Notes from the source:[**my additional notes]
This upload comes from one of the more theatrical tours that Todd has done.
Visually, the stage was set up like a tiki bar with a bartender and tables where selected audience members sat and sipped drinks. Todd and band played the part of being the live musical entertainment for the on-stage patrons.
Like the With A Twist album that Todd was promoting, (most of) the songs here in concert were reworked with bossa nova-flavored arrangements.
Song notes: For the verse section in “Caravan”, keyboardist John Ferenzik substitutes the Utopia tune melody with the Duke Ellington “Caravan” melody.
“Hello It’s Me” has one of the stranger song arrangements. More exotica than bossa nova, it has a dirge-like quality that reminds me of the Nazz version. **[I'd call this a Martin Denny tiki style arrangement ala 'Quiet Village']
“I Don’t Want to Tie You Down” and “Hammer in My Heart” are solo acoustic guitar numbers, done in his usual way (not bossa nova).
The short, peppy piece of music that the band plays to close the show is the theme from the late 1970s TV show “Fernwood 2 Night”.
** One of my favorite setups! Ambitious stage set, touring such a full blown tiki bar onstage like this. Hopefully a show was professionally documented for eventual release, as there's not much footage out there. [find on YouTube, videos of Cleveland '97 by Rogsteel]
There were three sets. Set one was lounge bossa, Todd seated center stage in either a full gold or pink suit. Set two was tiki time, Todd in Hawaiian costume and face paint. This version of 'Hello It's Me' is a total tiki fantasy version, which closes the set. Set three is casual, late night at the bar. The banter throughout suggests a real bar band, regionally based, as heard on this throughout.
Enjoy!
Thanks go to the taper! and the poster at guitars 101!
