Starting Now Album Release Live Performance & Q&A

[@BrianPremo]

Glen performed solo at the college I work at some years ago (I'm a stagehand at there). I got to chat with him at moments throughout the day, you won't meet a more down to earth guy. I ended up working his merch table for him and in return I got to make a song request, I requested "Windmills". He did such a beautiful version (of an already beautiful song). It brought tears to my eyes. It was a good day.

[@timoynihan]

Windmills.....Such a captivating vibe to that one. Awesome.

[@TheKatcampbell]

My phone misspells everyone’s names. Taught it not to just now. Glen, not Glenn. Saw them each time I was in the same city/ town I am near. You all make me think of god times and happiness

[@howardmann8689]

He was same with me in dc like 30 tears ago

[@rubyhauser9747]

Windmills brings tears to my eyes too. This was my go to high school band. They played here last year and we went to the concert. Amazing like yesterday. ❤

[@scottkosman]

This show was the tonic my soul needed tonight, can't wait to listen to the full new album. Love that it's 30 years to the day after Fear dropped! ❤️

[@davidburgreen2469]

I have enjoyed Toad since I "discovered" them in 1988. I was 21 at the time and have been a fan since. Maybe I will actually see them live now...or when the pandemic allows. Great music.

[@cottonswami]

I love you guys and have for more than 30 yrs. I'm grateful beyond articulation for so many songs that have reached into me and brought me clarity or peace or understanding or just a cool thing to sing all day. Be well.

[@danielzamora3901]

I was 11 years old when I discovered your music in 1994. I discovered a lot of different bands and music back then. Golden years for me... Love your music since...

[@timoynihan]

FEAR was the first CD I ever bought with my own money I earned at my first job at CVS when I was 17 years old and I listened the shit out of that thing. I still have the actual CD. You guys are the start of root of my music identity and this video has brought me back to who I am, who I wanted to be when I grow up, and I am so excited for you to come to Los Angeles in June guys. I will be there in the best seat I can buy. Thank you. Glen I saw you doing solo stuff at the Viper Room a million years ago. And I remember how welcoming your voice is to me. Thank you to all TTWS guys. Stinks that Randy won’t be with you, but I’ll be there for you LA show. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU! This band means so much to me. See you in June. -Tim

[@monicapereiralisboa5344]

What a beautiful show, I've been listening to your songs since 1991 and I never missed them. Now with KZbin I'm enrolled and I always have a beautiful surprise.

[@kbrown649]

My god, I love this band so much. So many amazing songs, important messages if you listen…and as much as I love full band Toad, the songs translate so well to this format (which says everything about the composing) that I’m not sure which I prefer anymore. 😎 And Todd Nichols, man, one of the most underrated guitar players ever.

[@cguzik69]

Just saw them last night, just north of Boston at the Cabot Theatre. They put on a great show - never get tired of their songs or seeing them live.

[@That60sGuy]

I've seen TTWS in concert 3 times over the past 12 years and saw Glenn do a solo gig at Lafayette's in Memphis in 2018. Just fantastic musicians and all around cool guys. After all of these years, they still seem to enjoy being together and making music.

[@nw1256]

So happy I stumbled upon this live performance tonight. I needed that 😊

[@Jamvan3k]

All I hear is Dean singing as Michael Mcdonald now whenever I listen to "The Best of Me." It puts a big ol' smile on my face. :D

[@itbe]

Watching again. This is like having you guys playing in my living room. 35 years of practice payin' off!

[@chriscooper8795]

So thrilled to have found this! One of my favorite bands EVER!

[@elizabethlucibello4697]

I first saw you guys at Red Rocks in Denver back in 1995 w/ the Cranberries. I liked you guys before that, but that concert and time period has always been one of the highlights of my life. Your music and Glen’s voice is like fine wine… I love y’all! Come back to Texas asap !

[@Hellotoanewworld]

I need more of this kind of music in my life! fresh sounding as always

[@wubstreet]

just saw the guys last night in NJ. Not to be missed, great band, super nice guys.

[@dsholt]

This sounded fantastic. So glad to hear new Toad!

[@johnnybird]

i have to say that the words and music to 'Life is Beautiful' could not have been any better! absolutely beautiful song!!

[@lwolfe1158]

Thank you all for doing this live! I enjoyed the humor and hearing the band together. Safe travels on your tour!! I love the new album.

[@nicoletindall5448]

My favourite band even after 30 years. So worth getting up at 3 a.m. Acoustic tour in Germany! Yes, please! 😍😍😍

[@macclesfieldman]

Hear, hear!

[@timoynihan]

I’m not in Germany. I’m in LA. And I am voting for the acoustic Germany tour for you guys. TOAD FOREVER!

[@mannygolpo5248]

I remember 1994, when I bought Dulcinea cassette album by Toad. It was amazing. Since then I was a biggest fan until now. Love you guys. Keep on making good music guys. God bless..

[@dougstalb8700]

You guys have been my favorite band since your beginning at little restaurants like Alexis in Santa Barbara. Blessed to have been friends with Randy and Todd. Whole band are cool dudes. Thanks for the proliferation of your songs. You guys are awesome!!! Hope to see you on tour in 2022

[@GreenLegendRan]

Thanks for making this album. My heart sank when I heard Glen speculate something about the model by which songs are released changing to single songs at a time, because I love getting a new Toad album. Fever is magnificent, and speaks of this epoch in a way I wish people listened to. I used AI to remove the vocals so I could sing it at Zoom karaoke, but the removal also axed the backup vocals, so I ended up having to multitrack them back in. Once in a while I find people who hear it and seem to really love it, even if it lacks the audience recognition that gives so many karaoke tracks an edge. It's worth it to sing the beauty.

[@GreenLegendRan]

It's nice to see this again. I've been singing this album to strangers for a year, on Zoom. Nothing more fun. The electric guitar work is so nice on this album, and to watch his fingers make it happen is something better than I could see at the last concert I attended. Three great musicians really fitting together.

[@mrp4242]

These guys are so good live. Thanks for posting.

[@WhereTheBASShasNoName]

@Toad The Wet Sprocket, please continue to exist. As a band and humans. Fall Down, perfect example of that old saying "all you need is 3 chords and the truth."

[@peterrandall6555]

Healing music! Just what is needed after a tough year and a half struggling through the pandemic. Thank you Toad the Wet Sprocket! You guys are just what I needed today!

[@rickshearer]

...the sprocket has spun into quite a country twang from the rock band I enjoyed and met in their early days. Yet their passion, performance, melody, humbleness and sincerity sounds like it will never be lost. Respect! ❤🎧🐸

[@CichlidCharmer]

I love how intelligent your lyrics are. True poetry. Rare Bird is my favorite song! Does it have a special meaning for you?

[@LousReview]

Dean's melodica solo on All I Want may have been the highlight of the entire show!

[@mikemiller7256]

My fave band listen to them all of the time great new music I was so bummed when they went away for a while and was so excited to see them regroup and do new music unlike most bands that do this thier new music is just as good as the old stuff even better I was sad to see the departure of Randy he is a great player wish him well also it’s cool to see dean on guitar but I miss his awesome bass lines he is an amazing player and great singer too his harmonies make the songs perfect the whole band are great at what they do

[@bettycoleman9996]

Thank you so much. You all were amazing. Love the new album. Can’t wait to see you all in Napa, CA. ❤️

[@jthrasherphoto]

Have always been one of my top 3 all time favorite bands. Have seen you live 10-15 times. This live stream is fantastic and I love this new album.

[@Zizzyyzz]

Just bought the album off Amazon. Keep up the great work, guys. Your songs have been playing in my head and heart for decades and hopefully for decades to come. 💜

[@patricianenaydykh2071]

I love barefoot people......it says everything. Such a great new album!

[@craigresta8630]

My favorite band. Thank you for everything. You made so many lives better with your music. We are forever grateful!!!

[@erichemard7066]

After all these years TTWS is still an inspirational breath of fresh air. I seen them back in 2019 in Miami, they opened for Counting Crows. It was just an amazing show. Glad to hear the new stuff…amazing

[@mandyblumenthal2209]

What an incredible treat! Loved it. 💜

[@friedricengravy6646]

Hey guys!! Big fan since the 90’s , like u all I was in my 20’s.... Been a long time since those days, so I am absolutely thrilled to see this & to hear ur new music. U guys sound fantastic!! Thank u for all of the fond memories. ✌🏻 Stay well on ur new tour, best of luck!

[@brunofergar]

Desde España también se escucha esta banda tan estupenda. Transmiten buen rollo y sus canciones son especiales. ¡Y siguen sonando genial!

[@sandyg202]

Wonderful! Just what I needed tonight! Thank you bunches and many blessings to all of you❤

[@dwightjesmer451]

Selena gave me the heads-up about this last week but I was flying so missed it live. Just finished watching and feel so good! They've been a great band from the beginning and built a great community around them! It's nice to feel some joy in these crazy times.

[@Selena.H.]

Dwight❣️ Safe travels 💜 Glad you caught up, the beauty of shows being saved 🥰. Todd speaking was a highlight for me 😄. “Good gig, just writing the song titles” Yes, agreed 🤣 Glen asking Todd, “all good?” during All I Want 🤗

[@dianesluga2895]

Thank you so much for sharing your music! I've been a fan from day one. Can't wait to get a copy of the new album!! ❤️

[@JoeBlow-fp5ng]

Really good performances. Fond memories. Many Toad songs are still on my IPod and always will be.

[@angiewaters3466]

Glen your smile is infectious 💜 I have been a fan since the beginning. I'm a poet/writer often inspired by you all.

[@got_glintsp963]

Hi GUYS! I’m trying to come out of a Covid life COMA… and you guys are here for me (everyone) and it’s appreciated! You’ve been there for all my life comas …. When I forget how to live and lose hope… I’ll find your music again and again. I can’t thank you enough

[@CarolineGrieco]

Just went to your concert yesterday in Orlando Fl ! It’s was awesome! 😍

[@brianfultz8522]

Thank you ! After a long day ... this is perfect. Listened to you for many years.

[@bonniesquibb1106]

I didn’t get to watch this live, but I’m laughing and crying with you as though we are in the same room. I will always love you. Your music helped kickstart my heart muscle at precisely the right moment. Never underestimate what a song like “All I Want” can conjure in the world. I’ve seen TTWS a few times in concert. I love each of your talents and personalities. I had a great conversation with Randy outside the venue in Knoxville, and he couldn’t have been more warm and charming. Please convey my best wishes to him. I hope to see you on this upcoming tour. ❤️

[@colinkelley2856]

Love your music, listen to your music almost daily. At one time I could even sound like you. Now I am just old.

[@shafashaban]

I love you guys, been listening since 92 with Fear. Cheers!

[@privatepenguin3137]

Love it! And Todd with the squirrel mug was an added bonus!

[@shirleydownard8099]

Love your sound and inspirational music

[@billemery2711]

Been listening to these guys for 25 years. Great Band. Saw Glen at a small venue in Kalamazoo Michigan and talked to him for a bit. Good dude and he put on a great show, just him and his guitar. Represented Toad well.

[@MikeBMW]

Bottom line, this was epic! Thanks, Toad! Looking forward to the new vinyl! :)

[@ricardocorrea1309]

So beautiful, guys. Have no words to express how it feels to me. Just thank you for this. Greentings from Brazil

[@marieona636]

Can’t wait to see you at the Belly Up!!! Great music spanning so many of my life events!!! Thanks for your inspiration!

[@stevemcqueen007]

Love and light. Stay safe...

[@bloosunbrightjr.2381]

You guys are so amazing!!! Been a fan since 90's

[@CalamityJaime]

I absolutely adore you guys. Seriously save my soul with every song I hear. Thank you.

[@ChadwickRider]

Wow, sounds amazing! Really nice to hear All I Want, and I LOVED the melodica added, so damn good. That album, FEAR has a special place in my heart, the age I was when it came out and how it uplifted me when I needed.

[@DodoTheDudu]

Thanks Toad, from a fan in Indonesia.

[@Tribumfear]

Still no shoes, love it

[@smrouss]

What a gift! So nice to hear you guys together again. It sounded fantastic! Can't wait to see you live in Hartford in Sept!

[@ges74]

Amazing to listening your songs for this 30 years.. Donna nobis pacem

[@mreoski]

Hey guys! Love your music! Saw you most recently in Denver when you toured the New Constellation album, but my favorite album of yours is COIL. Glad to see you guys still kicking out new jams. I hope Guss is doing well, although it looks like he retired. Still though, that guy has some sick beats throughout your entire catalog. Kudos. The new drummer sounds great too, though. Hope to see you again soon - preferably in a smaller venue such as the Bluebird, or the Ogden theater on Colfax.

[@PJL7095]

I’m a little late to the party but found some time tonight to put this on. Thank you Glen, Dean, Todd for creating such beautiful sounds together. I miss Randy. Such a wonderful guy

[@flonotflow]

Watching this on a cold and blustery night, perfect viewing, loving it!

[@mpkincaid]

Excellent as always! Love the new album! Thank you!

[@michellemurray4449]

Toad - I love you! I was an intern with NOW when you were the headliner in DC more years than I will admit to.

[@jamestownboys]

Looking forward to seeing you live again soon in person. It’s a great new album!

[@Reaproy1]

Fantastic. Just bought the new album, loving it.

[@kimcurtis4646]

I missed this live but am so glad I still got to hear it. My mind, heart and spirit needed it. Thank you! You sound great! It was also fun to hear Dean’s happy thoughts (and you gotta love that Scorpion song! Please cover it! 🙌🏻) Todd’s dry sarcasm and Glen’s bright smile and bare feet! 😂 Super sad to hear about Nancy Griffith! One the greatest storyteller singers ever! 💔

[@christined9067]

Always been a fan you guys rock I love your presence and your music

[@joandunn8711]

What a great find! Thanks guys. Really loved the music. Coming to the show in Philly!!!

[@JG-cx4wn]

Takes me back to Tipitina's, New Orleans Dec. 1991.

[@eddiebertrand4836]

[@jereandco]

I couldn't have asked for a better 52nd birthday gift! This was AWESOME!

[@Theanswerisblowinginthewind]

Thank you so much guys for doing All I Want. That song is still my jam. That is my go to song if I'm having a bad day. I listen to it over and over and it helps me so much to get through the day. And that Walton' s tune Dean ! I live it ! 😂

[@Theanswerisblowinginthewind]

Oops love it lol.

[@rockinggator969]

ALL ACOUSTIC ALBUM, PLEASE!!! You guys should definitely do a full length acoustic album :-) This format sounds so damn good.

[@3beachgirl]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful lyrics and perfect harmonies. Loved you guys for over 30 years. Hope to see you in Boston next month.

This was fantastic!! Sorry I missed it live, subscribed now. :) Thank you. I didn't even know there was a new album. Going to go buy it now. Cheers

[@tieniebadenhorst7826]

Many thanks for a most enjoyable and excellent show. I have been a follower of Toad since the latter 80's. However, Toad' cds were scares here and I had to revert to importing all. Greetings from South Africa.

[@yogawithkellygant9273]

Thank you for this amazing hour 💕 Be well and can’t wait to see you all in person this Oct.!!

[@angiewatson5501]

Beauitful most.amazing talented musician's there isn't one song I don't love Thank you

[@wurger13]

Hi guys! Sorry I missed the live performance, I was flying back to Seattle and listened to the new album I had just downloaded. Listening to “Fever” while looking down at all the earth covered in fire smoke was a moving experience for sure, especially love the guitar solos on this song. Thank you so much for another amazing album and I hope to see you all soon. Take care, be well.

[@breathofhome6315]

Full respect for bare feet and smooth voices. Amazing sound for live in-house.

[@TheKatcampbell]

I feel so bad about one that I misspelled Glen’s name ; added another n to his name. You have no idea how much we miss seeing Toad The Wet Sproket! ! Please come back to Las Vegas!!! ❤️💜☀️☀️☀️❤️💜 Bring that sunshine into our lives here soon. Your new album brings back such wonderful memories.

[@slackerlitgeek]

Wonderful. Great to hear from you guys again. Thanks for this.
